They tried to replace Robot Wars with an updated drone version. It was gooseberry fool. I'm guessing that's why Robot Wars is back.

I always think of Robot wars when I hear him :lol: No reason he can't do both I suppose. They'll probably get Chris Kamara now so he can laugh at everything :fp:
Going to give the Robot wars episode of Spaced a watch tonight, definitely the best episode :lol:

I loved the very first time they showed up with that concept and it just strawberry floating wrecked everything including the house robots throughout the series :lol: The faces of the other teams when hypnodisc would send half the chassis across the arena :lol:

Edit: strawberry floating hell :dread: :slol:

Is that the one that was meant to be hosted by Suzi Perry? Saw a few news stories that it was coming, never saw any adverts for it actually being on :slol: Has it already debuted and died?

It was obviously an off-air pilot that didn't work out. Theres more of those than you would imagine, its very rare you have an on-air pilot now.

After watching some re-runs on Challenge I've been reminded how strawberry floating annoying the children are when they're present for the interviews.

They do usually keep the tapes though; occasionally they see the light of day, such as Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Patridge or Paul O'Grady's Generation Game (I think he injured his back).

Will be interesting to see what effect 3D printing will have on this, could imagine some utterly crazy designs being possible to build now
