Is AWSOME!

Anybody else a fan of the scrapheap challenge?

Are they making new ones again?

No, unfortionately.

But they have been playing the old british ones on digital cable.

The sad thing is, the american version kind of sucked. Maybe we can petition the networks to bring it back. Might as well....it's the best reality show and there are no writers.

I like to think i've got what it takes to be on thet show.........but those guys are pretty good.

I was/am a HUGE fan of the Scrapheap Challenge (what it was called on BBC-Wales where ti originally aired).

I loved the episodes when the British Army dudes were on, they so ROCKED!!!!

I would love to see it back, but like an earlier poster said, when the bought the series to the USA, they started to suck!

Very started to suck. The British dude and cute chick were awesome!

Closest thing anymore is Mythbusters, but there was always something awesome about watching those bodgers...

Me too! I also liked Battlebots. Now that was some true geek carnage. LOL!

Ahh, yes. The god old days, before TLC turned into the "makeover" channel!
But, then again, I think welding should be an Olympic Sport!

As an aside, the Brit that hosted the show, Robert Llewelyn, was Chrition on the brit Sci fi comedy Red Dwarf.

Holy Smeg!
