With all the new news announced, I'm.
Well, I'm hugely excited about the shows return, but the new people hosting? Sceptical.
First off, starting on a good note, Jonathan Pierce is coming back, which is wonderful, that man is born to commentate this show. Really, it wouldn't be the same without him.
And much like that, it wouldn't be the same without Craig Charles either. And unfortunately he's being replaced with Dara O'Brien. I really don't see a point to this decision, Charles was a perfect host for the show. Don't get me wrong, I love Dara, but he's more suited to host a comedy show. For instance, I watch Mock the Week all the time, and he's perfect for that. But Robot Wars isn't a comedy. It has humour, but it's a reality show for families, and Dara's sense of humour doesn't fit that.
And as for the new pit commentator, huge shame Philippa Forrester isn't coming back, she was Robot Wars's golden girl. The new one, I've never heard of in my life. So I've yet to form an opinion. But again, huge shame the original Philippa isn't returning.
Still, I'm excited. And my main hope now is that even more merchandise starts coming out and my small collection can grow.
Hell, a new game on the 3DS would be amazing. I still have my GBA and my copy of Extreme Destruction, it'd be great to see a new game with new robots, new arenas, new customizations and. Actual physics.
