Not heard of those shows (ok, I know Stingray, as in Gerry Andersons
creation...). I am curious when Junkyard Wars was made. We have a show here
in the UK called Scrapheap Challenge which sounds very much similar (2
teams
compete to build a contraption to accomplish a specific task), and is
hosted
by Robert Llewellyn (Kryten from Red Dwarf).
Junkyard Wars is the same show as Scrapheap Challenge. They made some
US-specific episodes, but most were made in the UK. It ended somewhere
around 2006-2007, though I understand it's still in production in the UK.
