Scrapheap Challenge.

This is the 1st time that Ive ever watched it so cant tell good from bad however I got the distinct notion that the experts were steering the teams into what to design/build as if they had prior knowledge of the challenge and had already colaborated and come up with 2 ideas to take forward

Scrapheap Challenge.

How do you suppose I do that then David?

@Karoline, I am sure that is the case, in all scrapheap challenges Ive seen the 2 engineers always happen to have 2 very different ideas.

But I am convinced that if they are the experts they would more than likely to come up with more similar solutions based on experience.

Re: Scrapheap Challenge.

I've only just got round to watching the first episode of the new series. I wasn't too sure of the rejigged format at first to be honest; a distinct lack of scrapheapness considering the show title and it was weird without Bobby Llew and Lisa Rogers but once I'd gotten into it a bit I started enjoying it and watching the challenges at the end was good fun, particularly when Dick was trying to catch-up to his chariot after falling off (please Dick please, trim that moustache....even just a little )
The fact that the teams have got four weeks to build their creations compared to the 10-hour setup seems to have a noticably positive effect on competing in the tasks at the end; mostly the fact that all the machines worked well, barring a couple of bumpy-ground-induced injuries, whereas with the old format there was always a chance (especially with the water challenges) that the machines would work nothing like expected.

Missed tonight's one so I'll catch that on 4OD again but it looks like it should be good.

Re: Scrapheap Challenge.

Mike's Scrapheap chariot episode is on and he Gary and Si are notably not in it even though you can see them in the background although they won the episode when first shown - they have been completely cut out!!!!!!
The episode is a nearer work of fiction as you can get on TV

But there again..... was the 1st showing a work of fiction???
