BBC is bringing back Robot Wars to television.

The rebooted Robot Wars is getting a new fighting arena in Glasgow, Scotland. And BBC is promising more robots and science with the return of the series.


The game show — which originally ran from 1998 to 2004 — sees groups of professionals and amateurs building robots to go to war inside an arena. The contestants have to worry about house machines too.

"Bringing back Robot Wars to our screens is hugely exciting," said the show's executive producer Chris Brogden. "Its return will see new and improved robots, with extraordinary innovation and power in these updated machines — it promises to be quite the competition."

So far, there are six hourlong episodes of Robot Wars planned to air on BBC Two.
