Could have been a lot worse, I'll give Dara a chance. It is very Irish though, and that's coming from an Irish man.

Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon have been announced as the new presenters of Robot Wars when the series is rebooted for BBC Two, with Jonathan Pearce returning as commentator.

Shame Craig Charles isn't returning, but at least they got Jonathan Pearce back.
Not a clue who Angela Scanlon is though, even after looking her up on Wikipedia.

She's a presenter in Ireland, she does a travel show and has done her own show where she hangs out with famous people for a bit, I've only seen the one with Sheamus(WWE) and she didn't seem too bad. No idea what her nerd flirting technique is like though.

New-ish logo too, glad they didn't stray too far from the original:

Are drones banned from this? Will be interesting to see what can be made from the leaps in technology of the last decade and a bit

I doubt they'd allow flying robots, seems too dangerous unless they've added a roof to the enclosed portion of the arena and put the inner walls all the way up rather than just about a foot high.

Was watching some classic Robot Wars yesterday and saw Typhoon 2 not once but twice manage to shatter the bomb proof inner wall from hitting it so hard.

I'm assuming Craig Charles never got the call? :<

EDIT: Oh I see Dara O'Briain got the gig. He might be okay.

Saw the advert for this, then remembered Dara was presenting it. :dread: I find him really annoying, so that's enough to put me off watching.
