This week, the British Big Brother reality TV show has had a Robot themed task.  Really wish they had considered having the Lost in Space Robot as part of the show.

They have had another giant robot, Titan, competing against house mates in various tasks, and so far, the house mates have been victorious in three out of five tasks including smoothie making, hair cutting and egg whisking.  The Titan robot however beat house mates in floor sweeping and inflating an airbed.  Of course, the Titan robot had all the latest electric mod-cons whilst house mates had to use old fashioned hand tools.

Interestingly, two separate house mates have mentioned “Lost in Space” as well as a couple going “Warning, Warning”.
