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.

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?

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?

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.
