Votetakers Comments:
A busy vote for a simple newgroup which IMO shows the flaws in
automatic rejection of fastrack based on 4 objections.

RATIONALE: uk.media.tv.robotwars
- - -------------------------------
The show is not adequately catered for by existing newsgroups. Its
popularity - around 3.5m viewers a week on BBC2, and especially its
cult appeal amongst the main usenet age-group (teens & 20's), suggest
there will be more than adequate traffic to justify it.
CHARTER: uk.media.tv.robot-wars
uk.media.tv.robot-wars is for general discussion of the UK version of
the show : the robots, the personalities, the rules, and any other
related topics.
