New Time Commanders series BBC2 tonight

[ShellShock]

I've just noticed the new series of Time Commanders starts tonight on BBC2 (UK):

Time Commanders
Sun 16 Jan, 7:15 pm - 8:00 pm 45mins

The Vicars: Can the forces of evil be defeated by our team of vicars as they take on the might of the Germanic army in the battle of Teutoberg Forest? Presented by Richard Hammond.

Great! Thanks for letting us know! ~:)

Thanks i watch that

[Mikeus Caesar]

Oh, thanks for telling us!! That's brilliant news!! I've been wondering when the new series would start.

Priests in the woods... somehow it just doesn't sound right. ~D

Anyway, if it is anything like the one in the game ten they should have a chance as long as they keep their forces together (which might be a problem).

Richard Hammond!!! What was wrong with Eddie Mair?

[Mikeus Caesar]

I wonder if they'll be trying to use the same units as us, instead of all those magic mongol horse archers. Or will the priests try and convert the heathens?

Richard Hammond!!! What was wrong with Eddie Mair?

I think Eddie saw his career nose diving with the first series - he looked like a fish out of water. Eddie Mair does serious political current affairs on Radio 4, so Time Commanders was possibly a bit low brow for him.

Richard Hammond is the boy racer type presenter on Top Gear. I think he'll do well tonight as it is probably more his kind of thing. Anyway, he will have seen the first series so will know what to expect.

I also expect changes in the format - the producers should have learnt from the first series, especially to make it more of a contest against the "AI". Let's hope the teams have a chance to practice first.

Eddie lent it some kind of credability as a show... Sure, he wants to stay doing PM and stuff but this show is just a bit of fun, admittedly geeky fun..

Is Richard Hammond that bug eyed, short, squeaky guy off Top Gear, who speaks in sound bites and cliches like Clarkson?

If he is, then he's the same guy that causes me to switch over whenever I see his face and hear his voice... Sorry, I just can't stand him...

[Wishazu]

hes ok, i thought the same thing when i heard he was hosting but he did a good job, i preferred eddie mair though. The show has in improved alot on the whole :) that priest general was ACE!

[Kraxis]

That sounds scary... the most pacifist of people (which should ideally should be priests) having a deadly general...
Hammond, is he the bigger guy who just about loves all the cars? He has a certain flair and enthusiasm that could be a really nice addition to the show.
"I wil ask you. What were you THINKING out there?!?!"

[Arrowhead]

That show was one hell of a lot better...
''Keep pushing forward, kill them all!''
''Gary the game is paused...'' ~D
