Product Description

Product Description

In its third year, "Scraphead Challenge" is one of Channel 4's most successful Sunday evening series, with a regular audience of over three million viewers. It's a knockout competition for amateur engineers - each week, two new teams of madcap mechanics have to work against the clock to build a specific machine from whatever junk they can scavenge. "Behind the Scenes at Scrapheap Challenge" looks at what goes on behind the camera as well as on screen, using six case studies from the series and scores of colour photographs. The teams have just ten hours to come up with the goods and get one step nearer to the season finale. The book follows the would-be engineers and presenters Robert Llewellyn and Cathy Rodgers' progress as the competition hots up. Through the interviews with the cast and crew, we discover what it's really like to take up the "Scrapheap Challenge".


About the Author

Besides presenting Scrapheap Challenge, actor and writer ROBERT LLEWELLYN is best-known for playing Kryten in space sitcom Red Dwarf. Robert has written several books, including The Man in the Rubber Mask (an account of life in Red Dwarf), Thin He Was and Filthy-Haired, and the novels The Man on Platform Five, Punchbag and Sudden Wealth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hillarious!, 31 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This has to be the funniest book that I have read in a long time. Mr Llewellyn writes a very good book, why is he wasting his time presenting TV programs?
I laughed so much that I kept my wife awake at night.
This is humour that real engineers everywhere will really appreciate. I love the way that Robert looks at the world of engineering with bemused amazement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scraptastic!, 13 Dec 2001
By A Customer
At last, real insight into what really goes on "Behind The Scenes at Scrapheap Challenge". People who watch this show really want to know things like "where do the challenges take place" and "Do the teams really only get ten hours to build". This book answers all those questions and more in a humerous style.Great.
