He's done a lot of things, but for my money the "Scrapheap Challenge" show was his best.
(This is a show where two teams are left inside a scrapheap and given a day, or so, to build a contraption/device.)
He was just so enthusiastic about all the teams, and seemed genuinely interested in both the design, the building, and the performance of whatever it was they were being challenged to build.
Didn't it move to the US as Junkyard wars with Henry Rollins?
I just searched wikipedia and saw that it did:

But I can't say I've ever heard of that before, or seen any. I used to watch the UK series while having lazy breakfasts every Sunday morning with my then-partner.
That was always a nice treat for us both.
