Well that was a brilliant bit of telly. It certainly goes a long way to making up for the entire last series of the abortion that is Top Gear.

I wasn't sure about the more cleanshirt Dara O'Briain being a good fit for the show, but he actually did surprisingly well and being a comedian helped too - a good few chuckles were had.

The battles were awesome; massive doses of nostalgia paired with clashes being bigger, more spark-y and far more destructive. Improvements in things like battery technology play a part in that I would say.

I was dissapoint when Razer went out so early, he was an old-time favourite. I lolled when Nuts got totally destroyed, props to them for reassembling it for another fight. That Carbide is a mad bastard. I hope Cassius makes a return too.

and the Pippa-replacement Scarlett Johannson-impersonator crumpet is welcome to sit on my face

Will watch again.

My son text me and asked where hypnodisc is.

I love that boy

Didn't watch all of it, the actual battles were quite good, but the presentation kinda annoying. Why were they describing what we've just seen, and the audience seemed to be canned laughter puppets like on Top Gear.

It wasn't that bad just think I'm a grumpy old bastard now

For anyone who is seriously considering having a go, look on here: https://www.fightingrobots.co.uk
The TL;DR of the entire site is that just because the BBC stopped filming it 12 years ago, nobody stopped the fights!

Carbide is the new Hypnodisc for sure. That thing was insane when it was fully spinning, you could hear the death hum.

Watched it last night, I enjoyed it all to be fair, didn't mind the updated format as it has been a very long time since the original series was on tv. It's not like Top gear where it was very raw and they switched it all up.

I've always found Dara a bit boring, don't find him funny as a comic at all but he's alright at presenting, he's a massive geek himself too.

Watched it on catch up today and loved it.

Nuts was brilliant, useless but fun. I laughed out loud when Behemoth chucked the mini bots up in the air.

I have missed this from my life so much.

Hope panic attack or Wheely big cheese makes a comeback.

Maybe slightly over-edited, but still brilliant, silly fun. The presenters are fine, they're just filler.

Miss Borg is currently driving a RC car around the room in preparation for her new career. This, I approve.
