It's all gone a bit crap mate, the series is available on the torrent sites, it was aired in Australia first for some reason.

It's gone cheap, really cheap, teams build their contraption at home and meet up for the competition, whoever wins goes against the house team, with Colonel Dick and his ginger mate.

The first one I watched, one of the teams decided they couldn't afford the fuel to get to the competition, so didn't turn up..

It also seems to show even less of the build than earlier series, at least half the program is taken up with the competition, most of the build it the teams messing about with camcorders.

And there's no Lisa Rogers

Preferred Cathy Rogers (no relation) to Lisa Rogers TBH, but other than that agree completely. Stopped watching ages ago.

didn't like cathy rogers voice, or face. Lisa is hot

hmm, what was that program i saw yesterday? mechanibals? sounds a bit like that now

Spot the Warner R4 and I leading the Wheel Nuts in episode 7

I have to admit, the format hasn't really worked - Hoping they find a happy middle ground next series...

The original is always the best. Cathy was the presenter when i was on.

Can't beat the original series with Robert Llewellyn and the super yummy Lisa Rogers

The original series was presented by Robert LLewellyn on his own, and it was the same 2 teams every week !

From series 2, Kathy Rogers (the producer) joined him in presenting

mmmmm Lisa....




Lisa

Ain't no scrapheap challenge without a scrapheap.

they should be ashamed of themselves!!

Sounds like that spin off series with the original chick and the rock geezer with the fat neck

that was pretty pants and all.....

To be fair, there still is a scrapheap, but only dick's diamonds had use of it...
