A compilation of the best bits of the Channel 4 series, Scrapheap Challenge--The Commandments is an enjoyable enough exercise in eccentricity. Presented with admirable gusto by Robert Llewellyn and Cathy Rogers, each episode features two teams set an engineering challenge with only the contents of a large scrapheap for inspiration and materials. Watching the assorted teams of oddballs trying to create such diverse projects as drag racers and car crushers from little more than junk is certainly diverting, proving to be a little harder than it was on the A-Team. Edited down from the TV version, the rushed nature of it all is a little frustrating, with the teams seeming to jump from a pile of scrap to the finished article. This is not particularly one for the casual observer but certainly recommended for fans of the show.
On the DVD: chapter selection makes it easy to head straight for your favourite challenge, be it the catapult or the mini-submarine. The picture quality is true to the video original, capturing the bright and colourful lighting of the television programme. There are no extras, however, leaving the package slightly lacking on this format. --Phil Udell

Some would say that Scrapheap Challenge is the best show on television! Some would say that it's the most inventive!And I would say that it is the highlight of Sunday night! This video shows all the greatest moments of the Scrapheap Challenge 2001 series, featuring; the Cat-Alists, and many great challenges such as to build a monster truck, to building an uphill racing vehicle.
No Adverts
No Interuptions, just pure Scrapheap Challenging.
Another great feature is Robert Llewelyn's great impressions, and commentry, he is brilliant!
It deserves six stars!!!

If you're looking for the old Llewelyn/Cathy Rogers episodes, forget this DVD. It's NOT the series, it's a completely unwatchable mishmash of a WHOLE season in one show. Looks like it was made as a promotion for people who had never seen the show, to get them to watch it.
But for actual fans of the show, don't buy it. It's just a collection of high points from the shows that completely destroys the drama, suspense and any other reasons for watching the shows.
