I think Mark Clattenburg is really convincing

ronoi · 13/01/2024 18:44

I can't understand why Bradley Walsh is presenting this? He is absolutely everywhere but this isn't his bag. Weird choice imo

the80sweregreat · 13/01/2024 18:47

At least the presenters are better than Ulrica who just ended up with a Gladiator for herself .. not jealous or anything

He's from the North East, possibly Newcastle

Close, he’s from Consett, Co. Durham

Oh I loved that. Loved they left the format alone. Would quite like Giant to throw me around too! Although 10yo DDs verdict is he doesn't look very cuddly!

my FB is full of people loving the nostalgia and I enjoyed watching it with my DD. Also agree with previous poster, so nice to see the women looking athletic and gorgeous but not over the top.

Its made me smile so so much this evening.

I really enjoyed it but Bradley is everywhere like a rash.

milski · 13/01/2024 19:05

My kids loved it and so did I. Used to be one of my favourite programs. I loved Jet and Wolf!
So glad they kept the same format, even down to the intro music.
The new games seemed quite good too. Yay BBC!

MadCatLady27 · 13/01/2024 19:05

Really enjoyed watching that!

I used to want to do the eliminator 😁

BubbleBubbleBubbleBubblePop · 13/01/2024 19:06

I was hoping they'd bring the old gladiators back in some form - as referees, as announcers, as....well just in some other capacity!

itstooearlytobeawake · 13/01/2024 19:06

Loved it. Took me right back. Loved Phantom Wink

Tryingtogetitright · 13/01/2024 19:06

Watched it as a family (DC are 6 and 9) and all loved it! Agree it's nice to see fit but not unnatural women (and inspirational - made me think I should get my backside off the sofa and do some exercise!), lots of eye candy too!! Thought it was great fun, can't wait for next week. DC finding it hard to understand that we can't just watch another episode straight away - they're not used to live TV!

NiceUnusualDifferent · 13/01/2024 19:07

Loved it! Really well done, watched with the kids who loved it too. My favourite was Phantom 😍

TobiasForgesContactLense · 13/01/2024 19:09

It's ridiculous but perfect Saturday night fodder. DS(8) loved it. He has decided that his Gladiator name would be Vortex. I am fearing for my sofa with all the jumping around that is going on now.

MadCatLady27 · 13/01/2024 19:11

I definitely enjoyed watching Apollo 😍

chagrilly · 13/01/2024 19:13

Loved it and proper cracked up at the cheesy campness of it.
The kids loved it too.

My DS wishes to be Acid. Perhaps they're the gladiators of the future!

Incogg · 13/01/2024 20:34

Loved it. Lots of nostalgic, fun, family-friendly Saturday entertainment!

MabelMoo23 · 13/01/2024 20:38

The original was John Anderson as I used to work with his daughter

iwanttobeafrozenpea · 13/01/2024 20:39

Loved the giant cotton buds 🤣

ShowOfHands · 13/01/2024 20:43

16yr old DD and I laughed throughout. It really took me back.

Cattenberg · 13/01/2024 20:48

I no longer have a TV, but if I did, this is one of the few programmes I’d watch. I loved it as a kid, though I don’t know if I still would.

For me the most impressive Gladiator was Lightning. She was amazing at the terrifying Hang Tough - her upper body strength must have been phenomenal. And if that wasn’t enough, she could do somersaults!

A few years ago, I read an article about what had happened to the original Gladiators since the show. The paragraphs for most of them could be summed up as “X is running a gym in Y”. A couple of the male Gladiators had got themselves into a fair amount of trouble, however.

gaggiagirl · 13/01/2024 20:50

DH and I really enjoyed that

MaggieFS · 13/01/2024 20:52

I didn't manage to watch it, but I will catch up. Cheesy as it is, massive nostalgia factor. We went to watch an episode be filmed, back in the day!

SaladFingerz · 13/01/2024 20:53

Where's Jet? Oh my life, she was fit!

Needhelp101 · 13/01/2024 20:53

Brilliant. Took me right back. Now all we need is Blind Date on afterwards 😂

13 year old son loved it too.

I'll have a bit of Phantom, please!
