Series two will bring on a new batch of contestants hungry to seize Apollo's crown. Hosts Dara Ó Briain and Angela Scanlon will return to cast a watchful eye or two over the inevitable chaos, and while it's not been officially confirmed as yet, we're going to stick our necks out and predict that Jonathan Pearce - easily as passionate about robots ripping one another to shreds as he's ever been about football - will be recalled for commentary duties.
