''Scrapheap Challenge'' originated on the British [[Channel 4]], but was imported to United States television under the name ''Junkyard Wars.'' Later, an American version of the show was created with the same name.

In the [[United Kingdom]], the two programs have distinct names, but American audiences only see the ''Junkyard Wars'' title. Sometimes, video of the UK version is even edited to blot out the name ''Scrapheap Challenge.'' The UK programme is presented by [[Robert Llewellyn]] and [[LisaCathy Rogers]].

The first series of the show, in the UK, pitted the same two teams against each other each week, and was simply titled ''Scrapheap''. The ''Challenge'' part was added when the gauntlet was thrown down to new competitors, and a knockout championship process was created.
