Robot Wars is bringing back some very popular figures

When the new Robot Wars team was announced, we were worried by the lack of Craig Charles.

Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon seem like decent choices to host, however, so as long as they didn't get rid of the house robots we'd be ok. Thankfully there was never anything to worry about - Sir Killalot, Matilda, Shunt and Dead Metal are all back for the revamped show. Well, almost nothing to worry about. Sergeant Bash will not return, presumably feeling the force of a strenuous military career before he entered the robot arena. https://twitter.com/BBCTwo/status/705754124831334400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw If anyone's memory needs refreshing, here's what you can expect. Only 'deadlier', whatever that means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBUBqYd-M50
