Robot Wars
I enjoyed this programme, and it was fun to see the designs people would come up with, and who would win. So what happened to it, because it was popular, and had a early evening slot on the BBC, and then it stopped.
I know that Mentorn T.V. were the company making it, has the programme now gone to the highest bidder from another channel, or is just not being made any more. Yes, I know it has not been on terrestial T.V. for a while, but I am curious about what became of it.
Did any/many other forum members watch it, and has it aired abroad, and been seen elsewhere ?
My other reason I liked it was the mechanical engineering that people took the time and trouble to design, and develop.

On the plus side it still has Craig Charles but now accompanied by Jane Middlemiss, much better to look at but i bet she doesn't get into it as much!

Has anyone see the eposide of the FANTASTIC comedy series Spaced that features a Robot Wars battle? Very, very funny!
"Welcome to Robot Club. The first rule of Robot Club is, you don't talk about Robot Club. The second rule of Robot Club is, you don't talk about...sorry, I got that wrong. The second rule is no smoking."
A wonderful comedy series. A BX was used as a Taxi in one episode.

Well at some point the new series will return, [:D] [8D] and I for one am looking forward to it. I think one of the problems previously was that they kept on repeating the programmes on the B.B.C. so it was a pain to keep track of if it was a new programme, or yet another repeat. Consequently it was hardly ever off the B.B.C.
It has been off screen for too long now !
Come on Channel 5, let's see some more new Robot Wars programmes please ! [:)]
