They're so good together

He was very good. I actually forgot it was him!
Disappointing that the BAFTA nominations just came out and it's not got any nominations, though

Well; if it's any consolation, the BAFTA's seem to be all over the place this year, and a lot of apparent "shoo-ins" are missing. From what I read this afternoon the general line seems to be that the opening-up of what constitutes a "British" show means that the competition is fiercer than ever.
The one silver lining I saw was that both Olivia Coleman and Phoebe Waller-Bridge have been nominated in the "Female performance in a comedy programme" category for "Fleabag". With Diane "Philomena Cunk" Morgan also nominated, that one's going to be tough.

Yes, it's a strange one this year. That's a tough category, though of those performances, I've only seen Philomena Cunk... her Christmas show made me hoot with laughter

I'm surprised that Line of Duty and Broadchurch never got nominated
Baz postedI'm surprised that Line of Duty and Broadchurch never got nominated
Yes, Baz it's surprising 
. [ Though the second series of Broadchurch, which these Baftas probably apply to, apparently wasn't as good as the other two?]
The Crown has done really well... it was entertaining but was really just a big budget soap opera 
Convoy

one of the best shows ive watched in a long long time
Anyone watching the "Robot Wars" final live?
Tonight's the first time all series I've been able to watch it right through...

Apollo's got the wildcard. Seems the right choice to me - providing it can make it into the arena!

I've been enjoying some of the battles this year.
After shock - Awesome weapon.

To be fair they did have a decent go at Aftershock, but couldn't get the knockout in first...

Eruption sat it out - could be a bit negative.
What's going to happen if two spinners hit each other ?!?!?

I don't know if it's Aftershock, but I believe one of the spinners is responsible later for the greatest damage to the arena ever!

One of my problems with the group battles, but I understand why some like them.

In a previous episode some of the arena wall was damaged!

In "ideal" circumstances, it will be Newtonian physics: both will be thrown in the opposite directions - and will probably both take damage.

I believe tonight's damage is worse.
Well, well, well. Good battle. Good tactics.
Looking forward to this...
Good idea, weapon to weapon is what we want.
...and that's the damage to the bulletproof glass I was expecting!
BRILLIANT - That was great, through the polycarbonate wall

And Aftershock now need to dig the piece out of the wall so they can weld it back on!

Nice chunk of metal taken out of Carbide.
After all the talk of "no perfect design", this series does appear to be heralding the dominance of the spinners!

Could that cost the undefeated robot the title?

We will have to see how far Eruption can go.
Toe to toe.

Well, yes: I may have spoken too soon.
If Carbide really has taken some damage, Eruption could win this!
That kid looks like a young Mr Bean.

Agree with Dara: probably the best fight of the tournament.
And I had noticed the damage to Dead Metal too!

Yes, just shows how much more damaging this new crop of robots are.

I hadn't noticed it before, but I see what you mean: he does bear a similarity to the young Rowan Atkinson...
