    Well here we go again! This is the next installment of the Ultimate Tournament and this time your inner child is gonna decide which show triumphs. I hope y'all are ready to drive down memory lane as we revisit the 80's and 90's. There's gonna be knockout action going on from the off and things might just get heated... and that's how we like it.

    Good shout. I never would have thought of that. I vote for the BBC testcard.

    Here's the rules for Round 1


    1. Each match is made using a Random Number Generator.


    2. You must give a reason for your choice or it won't count. It's more fun this way. Some people cast a vote with just their choice and then go back to edit it and include a choice. This is allowed once your post is edited by the time the count begins i.e. fairly quickly.


    3. The first show to receive 8 votes goes through to the next round.

    The Earthworm Jim song wasn't too shabby either though to be fair. Transformers are infinitely cooler though so they get my vote.

    Transformers, while I’d have been a fan of Jim he just can’t compete. Transformers was great.

    Auto bots are do de do,

    What were you thinking kicking this off on a Friday night, when everyone’s out numbing their pain instead of on a Monday afternoon when the effect is starting to wear off and they need a distraction?
