When I was about 5 or 6 my dad told me about a TV show he'd seen that he thought I might enjoy. So we sat down to watch Robot Wars; it was love at first sight and it's remained my favorite TV show ever since.
The show presents some amazingly designed machines and we get to see them all destroy each other in some truly spectacular battles. In addition to the contestant robots, there are also the legendary house robots. All Hail Sir Killalot!
I was absolutely gutted when Robot Wars was taken off the air but those 12 years were worth the wait to see the brand new series.
It was quite different to the original series but I don't think that was necessarily a bad thing. It would definitely have not been the same without the watchful eye of judge Noel Sharkey or the enthusiastic commentary of Jonathan Pearce. If you have an interest in engineering, then Robot Wars is definitely a show you would enjoy.
Sadly this programme has once again been pulled from our screens but we can only hope that it'll return again one day......
