I quite like Miss.Scanlon, but I'm not sure about Dara. Funny as he is, as intelligent as he is, I don't know whether he could gee up the crowd like Craig would. After all, it's Robot Wars. Not Robot Tickles, isn't it?

Brilliant news about Dara O'Braian!

In addition to his comedy stuff, he's well known for his work on science-y type things. This ties in very well with the BBCs intention of bringing out the science / engineering behind the machines.

The only thing I'm worrying about, as native Dutch speaker, is that I usually understand less than 40% Mr O'Briain says.

To those complaining about having Dara as the new host, the entire point of this relaunch is to take the show in a new direction. The least we could do is give it a chance. Bear in mind Dara is a big science enthusiast, so there is the opportunity to make the show more informative, just like it was in the early days of the old series.

why not just ask Chris Evans lol I'm as excited as everyone else about it coming back and don't want it to fail, But it seems a bit rushed to me and it's about how the robots have evolved but The Bbc are not exactly giving people much time to build something new.
and now we got this guy who I just find annoying presenting it lol

I agree ady. I don't know about the others who have applied but I still haven't heard back from them - even though I was told Monday of this week would be the day people found out. Which leaves 3 weeks now really, unless they're going to push the event date back a week in March. Which I doubt.
