ROBOT WARS is back !!!

Well all the past fans of Robot Wars will no doubt be pleased and will no doubt tune in to BBC 2 @ 8pm tonight (Sun. 24 July). It was always such an unusual program, and it looks as if it hasn't changed much, except for many improvements not least to the boundary safety glass ! Great fun ! I will be watching. It will be the first episode of 6 of this series, and I do hope they will carry on with further series !

Re: ROBOT WARS is back !!!

The only problem I have with Robot Wars is that it spends 90% of it with backstage interviews, robot specs, replays, audience reaction etc and only 5% of the time actually seeing the robots going at each other.

Loved the original program, along with the Great Egg Race.

I watched the film Real Steel on tv yesterday afternoon. The dialogue left a lot to be desired but the robots were great. I thoroughly enjoyed it, not sure if I was meant to at my age.
