We recommend that you gnaw your own head off before watching a millisecond of a show so bad Channel Ten demoted it from the 7pm slot without warning. Repeats of Friends have taken its place which means that Simpsons fans must go howl in the outer darkness. 2. It’s a guilty pleasure but Scrapheap Challenge (ABC2, weekdays 6.35pm) is often entertaining as ingenious folk build improbable machines out of scrap. The host is ap- propriately the actor who played Kryton in Red Dwarf, and he actually looks and sounds better as a mechanoid. 3.
