Dara Ó Briain and Angela Scanlon have been confirmed as the presenters of the new series of Robot Wars.
Mock the Week star Ó Briain will take over from long-standing presenter Craig Charles as host of the BBC Two show. Meanwhile, Jonathan Pearce is returning as commentator.
"I am thrilled to be presenting Robot Wars," Ó Briain said.
"For too long, the schedules have cried out for a show in which dedicated amateurs toiling day and night, handcraft sophisticated automatons built on the delicate interplay of hand-wired servo motors with custom-built circuit boards and fingertip motion control, just to see them get smashed to pieces by a dustbin carrying a massive hammer. It's war, and how I love it so."

Scanlon, who currently co-hosts RTÉ One travel show Getaways, said: "I'm so excited to be joining such a legendary show that, after all this time, still manages to make people squeal with joy.
"I cannot wait to see the robots in all their metallic glory playfully destroying each other!"
