Irish duo win ratings war with battling robots

Irish talent is leading the way at the BBC.

As the British broadcaster revolutionises itself by aiming to offer “great” content to younger audiences, Irish presenters Angela Scanlon and Dara Ó Briain are the very ones attracting this much-wanted demographic.

The pair co-present Robot Wars together and according to the BBC’s annual report, it is the corporation’s most popular non-children’s show with 16- to 34-year-olds.
