FightBox
FightBox was a British television game show originally broadcast on BBC Three and later on BBC Two in 2003. Contestants design their fighters and submit them to the BBC. Out of hundreds of submissions, only sixty were chosen to appear on the programme.
The show was a replacement for Robot Wars and aired in the same time slot of Fridays at 6.45pm.
As well as battling each other, the fighters would face one of six "Sentients", warriors who had won previous (unseen) tournaments and achieved this honour. The Sentients were: Banshee, Big George, Kodiak, Nail, Pearl and Vesuvius. Although immortal, they did have certain weaknesses which a fighter could use against them. After winning the first series, competitor warrior Kill Frenzy, created by Usman Arshad, achieved sentience and joined the current six. These seven Sentients featured in the video game mentioned below.
Six Games were played during the show these were: Conquest, Demolition, Duel, Helix, Panic and Revolution. Another game was Showdown, a straight one on one battle to determine the winner of each tournament.

Voodoo Box
by: TankardI'm a low life, trash, riff-raff
Drinkin' booze, pub-crawling man
Psychotics on narcotics I need 10 bottles a day
Lame and useless to the bone, broken dreams, leave me alone
But the last day, back alley
A loony guy gave me the creeps
His hands and feet were crippled
He said: "This is for you"
Voodoo box, black magic, mumbo-jumbo, washing well
Voodoo box, kingmaker, gift of gods, or sent from hell?
Voodoo box, black magic, mumbo-jumbo, washing well
Voodoo box, my master, gonna pay that bloody bill
It's so easy, fascinating
How my wealth and power grow
Addictive and destructive, Champagne and fancy cars
For every wish it lets me pay, sacrificed my ears today
After years of self-mutilation
Nearly nothing left on me
I know, I must continue
Think I'll give my other eye
