Semi-OT Robot Wars filming

Posted by Chris L on 2003/08/02 23:34

I hereby propose an IFIS trip to watch Robot wars being filmed in
Nottingham.

The filming takes place during the last week of August, and there are 3
shows filmed per day.
To get into the 10am and 2.30 pm shows cost 5 each and to get into the
6.30pm show costs 8.
Obviously I am not suggesting that we all go to Nottingham for a whole week,
(apart from anytthing else, the weekend is already sold out. I would suggest
that Friday 30 August would be a good day to go as this is the penultimate
day, and only the good robots should be left in. :-)

If people are interested, please respond quickly as the tickets appear to
sell very quickly.

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After
school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while
he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out
that Uncle Caveman was a bear.

They've had it at shepperton studios before now, not far away from here. =

Maybe they'll have it down here again sometime.

We're on holiday that week anyway, so won't be able to make it.

That's what you'd hope. They have this habit of filming things out of
sequence. We managed to catch 1 semi final and a final during the middle of
the filming period.

I also recommend bringing a book, a cd player and some drinks. From our
experience of the shepperton filming last year, you will be utterly bored
during the 55 minute breaks punctuated by 5 minutes of actual action per
hour. That is, unless you find a kids entertainer prancing around running
"guess the missing house robot" games for five year olds entertaining.
