The Great Egg Race

The Great Egg Race

"The Great Egg Race" was a BBC television series that ran from 1978 to 1986 and featured Professor Heinz Wolff and Lesley Judd. It was later revived on BBC Choice (now BBC Three) and was presented by Johnny Ball.

In a similar vein to the later Channel 4 series "Scrapheap Challenge", the show featured teams creating "Heath Robinson"-esque mechanical creations in an attempt to solve a problem set at the start of the show.

The programme originally set two teams the task of building machines capable of transporting a chicken's egg safely down a table top race track, but different tasks were introduced later most involving the safe handling of raw eggs.
