S2E1 - Heat A
If you've ever wondered whether machines are taking over the world, then wonder no more, 'cause Robot Wars is back. It's bigger, it's more destructive and offers more metal carnage than when Metal Mickey tries to juggle with Semtex. Robot Wars is a survival of the fittest. But as contenders aren't body beautifuls in figure-hugging lycra, they're ugly lumps of metal made out of nuts and bolts and household appliances, and whatever was left lying around the garage at the time. Oh and yeah, they wanna kill each other.

S2E2 - Heat 2
Ever since the first chimp picked up a bone off the prehistoric floor and used it to bash open the skull of a wildebeest, men have been obsessed with their tools. Millions of years on, and our homes are full of labour saving devices: toasters, refrigerators, microwaves and that thing you bought of the Shopping Channel with the free introductory spoon. But lately, my toaster’s been giving me the eye, imploring about being tumble-dried to death, and my food blender is now officially a lethal weapon. We live in dangerous times, and to prove it, six lifeless objects are about to be bought dangerously to life to fight for a place in our series semi-finals.
