'''''Scrapheap Challenge''''' (known as '''''Junkyard Wars''''' in the [[United States]]) is a [[reality television]] program shown on [[Channel 4]] and [[The Learning Channel]]. The game show features contestants using materials (often old vehicles) available in a [[junkyard]] to build working machines that can do a specific task. At the end of each episode, the machines are pitted against each other in a contest to determine the winner.
 
Episodes generally consist of two four-person teams in competition, plus one or two hosts who usually consult with an "expert" judge who knows something about non-[[junk]] versions of the machines being constructed. Each team consists of three regular members, plus a fourth expert who usually has a better understanding of the class of machine being constructed for that episode.
