Series 11 saw Dick Strawbridge (formerly a competitor from series 1–3) return as an expert and judge, replacing Robert Llewellyn. The show was now produced by RDF Bristol and Executive producer Jane Lomas and series producer [[John Macnish]] had to deliver the new series on a fraction of the budget of previous series. As well as a change in presenters the format of the series was altered dramatically with teams of 'scrappers' from across the UK competing against Dick Strawbridge's home team known as 'Dick's Diamonds'. At the end of each episode a battle to determine the week's champion scrappers took place in a public venue in front of crowds of cheering fans. Series 11 of the UK show had its world premiere in Australia on [[ABC2]], with episode 1 airing on 1 July 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/abc2/200907/programs/ZX0031A001D1072009T183000.htm|title=Scrapheap Challenge - Chariot Jousting - ABC2 Television Guide|website=www.abc.net.au|accessdate=27 March 2023}}</ref>
