Robot Wars was once an enjoyable program, but has been ruined by an attempt to follow crazes of kids today.
I started watching it (if you call me sad I don't give a damn) near the end of the first series, and I was immediatly hooked. I looked forward to it every week and enjoyed it every week. When the series was over I couldn't wait for the next one to begin soon. When it started again it was even better, if I ever missed an episode I'd be really annoyed. But it wasn't the rounds of straight-up battling I enjoyed, it was those sub rounds of something else.
However, as the wars continued those sub rounds began to dissapear, and the straight up battling became boring I only watched it occasionly now, as it was a lot less enjoyable.
Then I heard about a new series called "extreme". This sounded a bit better. But it wasn't. It sunk Robot wars to the lowest point it could.
It was trying to add-in the "attitude" that is shown in WWF. It was just trying to be popular by copying something popular with it's viewers. Now when you watch robot wars, you hear a bunch of British twits trying to sound cool
If Robot Wars wants to be poular, I say "bring back the sub-rounds", otherwise Robot Wars will have been forgotten completely in a year's time

it's quite funny though watching some of the adults try to act all hard and cool. that guy from the tornado team with the long hair for example. i mean oh dear he just sounds like a proper nerd. also what's up with them letting their little 7 yr old kids near the microphone especially that little ginger haired brat from the bigger brother team he really gets on my nerves. killalot should pick him up with his lance and roast him over the flame pit
