    On now......

    BBC 2.
  • Oh dear, I used to love it. That was bad......
  • I thought the new design robot with the spiny round weapon was pretty impressive when it was working.

    Not dara o'brian's best format.
  • I thought it was brilliant - a bit slicker than before. And wow, Angela Scanlon...yum,yum.
  • They've tried to make it more like a documentary as well as entertainment, I personally don't care about the behind the scenes stuff, and Craig Charles was a much better host. I also think the arena itself isn't as good, and the fact that there is only one house robot, and they don't feature much, is a shame.
  • I enjoyed that
  • Agree with sam3110 in that Craig Charles was a better host.
    Hope they move it to 3.00pm on Saturdays-will give me something to do!
  • I thought that was quality. The spinning bastard was lethal
  • Is it just like the old days where a wedge shape robot will win by flipping the others on their back?

    Gemini the 2 for 1 robot always seemed unfair.

    It was pretty rubbish so clearly no advantage

    I never really watched it first time round but the best robot was one with a spinning thing on the front that just fucked everything up
  • Even for a Sunday that was awful, has not aged well at all... Could at least have some modern tech being used

    Like some drone missiles?
  • Given the advancement of robots and AI there should have been some flying robots or robots with laser beams and stuff on them, instead we got a toned down robot wars, that paled in comparison to the original
  • I thought it was a homegrown Breaking Bad.

    Even the judges used pen and paper for their marks.
    Did you not know that this series was actually filmed in 2000 and only just broadcast?
  • Advances in AI? Presumably these robots are now being built by NASA and not in sheds by blokes with questionable facial hair?

    Unless the fights all look something like this then what is the point of tuning in?

  • Prepared the former version but it was still fun.
