UK Gladiators - 2024 reboot

[tom_e]

Enjoyed it. Definitely not the same without Anderson's thick Scottish "gladiators are you ready!"

Entirely none interesting fact he used to be the head athletics coach at the track just across the field from my house growing up.

The household enjoyed it.

Great family TV for all ages.

 

[Illusion]

I really enjoyed the episode tonight, pleasantly surprised.

I went to watch it at Sheffield arena as a child in the 90s and it took me right back there seeing the foam hands and the crowd dancing away to the songs etc

The gladiators seem a bit more friendly than the characters that were portrayed in the 90s though from what I can remember

Wasn't it originally filmed at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham?

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Yeah @Feek is right. The original run was filmed at the NIA, now called the Utilita.

@Illusion - the current Glads was filmed in Sheffield Arena.

 

[VincentHanna]

Thought it was good, but could have done without the nepotism Father and Son duo

Bradley Walsh (though he is everywhere) has charisma and can make jokes. Barney "Barnes" does not have those abilities.

Enjoyed it, can see that 'viper' character being the new version of 'wolf'.

I’m talking about when they did the live shows, 1995 at Sheffield arena according to Wikipedia

They did some live shows one of which was at Sheffield Arena in 1995;

Not really a fan of Bradley’s son but the rest was pretty good

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

Sadly he is 92 now so couldn't possibly do the show.

I'm glad he's still alive as I thought he was dead.

 

[Blackvault]

I thought he had died. I'm glad to hear he is still with us.

They're definitely doing the "Be kind" to everyone rubbish!

Why couldn't they have another female presenter?

Think it missed another female presenter.

I hope he watched it and enjoyed it too!

Can imagine him saying the referee wasn't as good as he was! Lol!

He'd be right as well!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I miss the Scottish referee guy.

All I remember from watching as a kid is ‘and you’ll go on my thistle whistle’ and him telling Wolf off. Need to watch this.

I wouldn't say that at all. The gladiators were fairly rough.at times.

 

[Mint8]

It wasnt bad - "findley" could have done with a slap though.

The female Gladiators seemed a bit rubbish but then most of them were back in the day as well.

 

[Rabtech]

Really enjoyed it, was nice to see a bit of rivalry but then at the end of any head to heads type events, the sportsmanship. Oh and the return of Another one bites the dust

Don't forget that classic theme tune.....

Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner? It's not for beginners.

Deep down in your soul. Are you a gladiator?

Those guitar riffs
