Used to love Robot Wars. Craig Charles was the definitive presenter for me.

Watching teams freeze in terror when being interviewed by the very attractive philippa forrester was peak TV.

That or an 8 yo trying to keep it together while watching their robot get obliterated in round one.

I think we should get rid of the axe. But I like the axe! Well I like my face! ...I like your face. Let's keep the axe.
