Am I the only Robot Wars fan here? Great program and a shame it's over. So I was looking forward to watching the US version 'BattleBots' on BBC2 last night.

What a load of cr*p!!! About 60 seconds of robot battles and 19 mins of two typicaly american 'presenters' talking a load of tosh the whole time and hyping it up beyond all sensible levels.

I though the only saving grace would be that bird from 'Baywatch' but she kept her clothes on

Won't bother watching again. And for our US freinds... I feel sorry for you if you have to be subjected to this quality if veiwing.... I just pray that this is not the way our highly regarded televison in this country is going...

 

IMHO - Battlebots was just the pits!
I hope that the beeb drops it like a hot brick, what a pi$$ poor immitation of Robot Wars

Was it my imagination or was the guy operating the arena floor able to influence the outcome of any of the so-called battles, they seemed tame without the intervention of Matilda, Kill-a-Lot and the rest.
The only saving grace was Donna D'erico as long as she kept her mouth shut

 

After watching the BattleBots program last night, I came to the conclusion that the english bots would kick yank ***......

But on the other hand the arena was better laid out! Lifting floors, cutting discs, etc.

Maybe the producer will bring some of it in to robot wars.
