Scrapheap Challenge (1998)

Episode Overview

Title: Lost in the Labyrinth Plot: This week, two teams face the challenge of mapping unexplored terrain. The Hammerlocks, a wrestling squad from Coventry, and Academics Anonymous, a group from Kingston University, must maneuver through a treacherous maze in a vehicle with obscured windows. The Academics initially made good progress but encountered a significant issue: they struggled to determine when all four wheels were airborne or when their vehicle was balanced, resulting in costly delays. They miscalculated their first turn, lost their way, and collided with the side of the track. As the Hammerlocks took their turn, tension mounted. They faced their own hurdles with unreliable navigation tools but managed to inch forward using a large mechanical 'feeler,' ultimately getting perilously close to their goal and advancing to the next round!
