Who else has heard of this show? Its going to be on BBC2 (unlessit gets cancelled of course) and is described as being a cross between Robot Wars and Scrapheap Challenge.
The premise is that a family team of three members build something using parts lying around in the home. Not much more info was given but... Thoughts?

IWC Media are currently looking for exceptionally talented,
mechanically minded families for their new BBC 2 show, Mechannibals.
having seen your website and your robot I thought that this might be
something you could be interested in.
Essentially the show can be thought of as a cross between Robot Wars
and Scrapheap Challenge Two households will go head to head
designing and building inventions using only the materials available to
them within the confines of their own property.
Each household will be required to pull out all the stops in order to
find the components necessary to build their inventions. The show is
about using seemingly everyday household items (including electrical
appliances) in different and often incongruous ways. This might mean
taking apart the cars ignition system to get at a vital solenoid or
plundering the washing machine for its motor! For those who take the
leap, big prizes are on offer. But neither side will go home empty
handed. It promises to be an exciting and original show.
We are trying to get two households from the same area, so it would
improve your chances of being picked for the show if a similar household
could be located close by.
Although we are looking for family teams (three per team) were not
going to police it too tightly so dont worry too much about asking
that capable distant cousin; by all means use him. To give the show a
broad scope we would prefer it if one of the team members was in their
teens or early 20s. It would also be beneficial if you had some
outdoor space attached to the house, and a garage/ shed - containing
more machines to plunder!
If you think you might be interested please give me a call. I have
attached a flyer that you might want to take a look at / distribute
among your friends.
Regards

anyone want to watch the pilot programme?
It is very funny and well worth a watch. Also good fun to make. It might also give you poor lot ideas as to what the show is about.
