Robot Wars is back for a Christmas special that stars at 8pm GMT on BBC Two. Over 2 nights, 8 teams of celebrities will be competing to become champion.
Each celebrity team has paired with a veteran competitor to design and build a brand new machine together and with such a small budget and a very small amount of time to build them, you can guarantee they're going to be shit and or destroyed within seconds.
Tonight the contenders are...
Jonathan and Alastair Brownlee with Gabriel Stroud from Sabretooth Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock with Shane Swan from Dantomkia (the big guy) Suzi Perry with Suren Balendran from the shit Indian team Scott Mills and Chris Stark with Dave Moulds from Carbide (and yes, they build a spinner)
These episodes were filmed at the same time as the second season coming early next year, so there might be some hints of the next season in these episodes.
Kevin Harris
no interest in this then? kinda assumed the threads could continue after the main series last year
Ethan Jackson

Easton Green

Elijah Clark
I nearly went to the filming of this, I went to the semi finals instead
Ian Brooks
>works for the MoD
She will probably try to procure the losing robot, for £10bn each.
raise the weight limit and give subsidies to builders
thicker armour can negate meme spinners and heavier bots are harder to flip
Andrew Sanchez
They did that. Raised the weight to 110kg from 100kg, and teams that got in received £500 towards the build
Asher Sanders
Needs to be heavier
And limit the rpm/weight of horizontal spinner otherwise they'll chew through fucking 15mm of steel every time
Hudson Foster
ABSOLUTE CARNAGE. Get Craig Charles back and we'll be sorted. Everything the man touches is gold. All we need now is Takeshi's Castle back!
John Morales
Wow they are blatantly padding the shit out of this episode. Is it because the fights are so quick they have a load of runtime to fill? And there's going to be a whole 'nother episode tomorrow as well? why?
Dissappointing. Underwhelming. I expected more. I expected bigger celebrities too, to be honest.
Brandon Moore
>ONE SCRAPE ON THE SCOOP >DEAD
Holy fuck what kind of shit bot did you build
Justin Harris
Who would be in your ideal celeb lineup?
Christopher Martin
Unfortunately, this is what happens. They recorded it so they have to use it otherwise that's a lot of wasted time and money, even if it was complete shite and none of it should've been used. It's a shame because the production quality is miles better than the last series but the content is absolute shit.

Michael Lopez
What went wrong?
Jack Davis
The BBC underestimated how good you need to be to drive these robots so we just got an hour of people driving shit robots poorly. And again tomorrow.

Is tomorrow going to be any better?
Thomas Taylor
Doesn't look like there's any spinners in tomorrows so it might be.
