Ive been poking through the RW wiki lately and noticed there is zero information on the Australian broadcast for the international league.
While Australia got Series 3, 4 and a bit of 5 before it was taken off the air as normal (Craig Charles, etc) you might be interested to know we got a completely different and unique broadcast for the international league
International League was the first ever robot wars to be shown in Australia, I believe that was the point of it, before S3 was shown
The Host we had for this show was Jay who still stood up in the stage where Craig did.. although the lack of crowd noise while he spoke suggested the arena was actually empty during his segments

Unfortunately I didnt know the commentator or pit reporter nor can remember.
The other interesting thing was that Terror Australis was never shown, only Terror Australis II (Nemesis) was and was never explained that it was a replacement.
The last thing I can remember was the House robots intro was the 1st World Championship one (without JP though) instead of the regular International League intro
I have a feeling I may have 1 or 2 matches on VHS somewhere.. Im going to see if I can dig them up and get them on the computer to show people RW in a way you have never seen before :)

I'm not a hotshot wiki editor or anything, but I can't see the article relating to be more than a stub.
Still, it's nice to find out about Robot Wars stuff that you hadn't had before.
