What happens

Scavengers was a British game show that aired on ITV from 23 July 1994 to 21 August 1995, hosted by John Leslie. The show was filmed on a specially-constructed £2.5 million set at Pinewood Studios, where other versions of the show were also recorded. The show was originally broadcast on Saturday teatimes in July 1994, but remaining episodes were burned off in a Monday morning slot the following year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
