Rejected petition Get the BBC to bring back Robot Wars

It's been over 10 years since Robot Wars last graced our screens. It was one of the most entertaining shows ever; robots with innovative designs (for example 'Pussycat,' a robot designed to always land on its feet - or wheels) duking it out in an arena and inspiring others into engineering.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
