Behind the Scenes at Scrapheap Challenge Hardcover – 21 Sept. 2001

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

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".

5.0 out of 5 stars this show is a perfect fit. Anyway
Reviewed in the United States on 26 April 2018
While this show isn't broadcast on a regular basis, it still ranks up there as a top-notch TV show. Surprising with the emphasis on STEM in schools these days, this show is a perfect fit. Anyway, on to the book. A quality publication with excellent photo reproduction and layout. Since Robert is the author and also the show's host, we get a behind-the-scenes look at what actually happens during a build and the contests. Being a Yank, I had to translate our common language (spanner is wrench for example) but that's not a problem if you've watched the show. The seller was excellent with prompt shipping and no problems. I'd purchase from these people again without hesitation.
