FightBox

FightBox was a programme shown on BBC Three and later on BBC Two. It has been likened to a computer-generated Robot Wars. Contestants design their fighters and submit them to the BBC. Out of hundreds of submissions, only sixty were chosen to appear on the program.

The programme was presented by Lisa Snowdon and Trevor Nelson.

The programme was reported to have cost up to £4 million to produce, but drew in an average viewing figure of just 22,000 people per episode, meaning it was costing £126 per viewer. According to the Guardian, the show peaked with 56,000 viewers, but subsequently viewing figures were the lowest recorded, with just 6,000 tuning in, a figure leaving it close to a zero rating in the BARB audience measurement system.

There are no plans for any future series.
