Full Metal Challenge was a television series made by RDF Media for Channel 4 in the UK and the Learning Channel in the United States. It ran for one season from 2002 to 2003. Hosted by series creator Cathy Rogers and Henry Rollins, the show was very similar to Rogers' last show, Scrapheap Challenge. It was filmed in the United Kingdom with a budget of approx £6.5 million on location at the disused Richborough Power Station just outside Sandwich in Kent. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
