Some commentary free Battlebots here - https://www.youtube.com/user/battlebots just the noise of the battle.

Listen to this one (Cobalt) spinning up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-4Rfds49Co

Did more damage to itself.

Interesting to hear the completely artificial crowd sounds, when switching back to the completed as-broadcast fights ....

The crowd's sound channel was cut as well, they're not that quiet.

I doubt that the arena is totally sound-proof. if the crowd was as manic as they sound on the broadcast, you would hear a hint of it inside, surely. Also, if you listen to a few fights, they keep making the same 'Oooh' sounds and chanting on all of them.

I am sure the crowd are wound up and cheering ( I have been to the touring live show over here ) But the broadcast audience sound on those clips is as fake as on the Got Talent / X-Factor shows.

American shows with massively over-used crowd tracks? That's a new one....;)

TG replacement was the correct guess.

It's back on this evening. Let's hope it has the magic I remember from being a kid.
Dara as host seems like a good decision.

Where is Craig Charles? This should be good for some nostalgic cheese.

James May would have been good as presenter. You can imagine him fielding his own robot.
