Another
for that one. The US version is OK, too, but will never live up to the real BBC one.Mythbusters is another to add to the list, but their myths have gotten rather hit or miss lately. They have an offshoot called Unchained Reaction that has a Junkyard Wars vibe while building competing Rube Goldberg machines. It has potential, but I haven't been impressed by any of the machines yet.

Yes! Robert Llewelyn was an excellent host. Too much fun!

Hell yeah! I get to watch this on BBC Canada. The US version is inferior.
Mythbusters is okay, but the quality has really declined over the years.
Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge must come back.
