Replicas of the junk-built opponents in the TV series Robot Wars are to be sold as Christmas toys. A TV documentary inside 10 Downing Street received mixed reviews

I'm a handy android. I am made

of mowers, false alarms, and the spin

cycles and tumblers in your kitchen

cabinet. Hello Anji.

I was created from a vacuum,

from the spare parts of a pop-up

toaster. Here I am! I've been at

your waste disposal.

Hello Anji. I am a fan,

a fax, a bit of a strimmer, a seedy

player, the mouthpiece of your

disconnected phone.

I can cook things up. Hello

Anji. I'm a flange, just what the

totter ordered. This is scrap.

1-2-3. Activate.
