Just had a quick peek - I see Sir Killalot is still there
Yes! And Matilda, Shunt and Dead Metal... all of whom have been given power make-overs.
We so rarely watch the terrestrial channels that I feel very out of the loop nowadays.
Yes, it's the same here. I happened to catch Robot Wars on BBC iPlayer earlier.
The thing I like - apart from some of the great battles - is the sportsmanship amongst the contenders. They seem to be so fair-minded and are very willing to help with the repair of a rival, between bouts! Interestingly, some of the contenders are familiar faces from the original show. It was great to see old favourites, Behemoth and Razor.
I miss Craig Charles too, although Dara and Angela Scanlon seemed to fit into the new show pretty well.
