Scrapheap Challenge 2008 header image

Scrapheap Challenge is BACK

This year the bodging extravaganza is 10 years old and to celebrate a decade of engineering ingenuity, Robert Llewellyn and Lisa Rogers once again throw open the scrapheap's rusty doors to teams of backyard bodgers from across the country.

They will race to build crazy contraptions in some of the 'heap's most madcap challenges to date. As ever, the teams can only use the decaying scrap found on the scrapheap and they have just 10 hours to complete their build.

Welcome to the Scrapheap Challenge grand final, where this year's champions, the Rusty Regiment, battle last year's champions, Woof Justice, for the Rings of Steel Trophy. In Manphibious Madness, the teams must build machines that rely on muscle power alone to drive themselves on land and water. Strictly no engines!
