Gladiators

[ForssAwakens]

Im sure on the eliminator, the overhead ladders bit used to be a kind of hand cycling thing… why have they sacked that off?

The cylinder has gone too

What was that?

I thought the bit with the bridge and the balls where the gladiators were swinging across was a bit of a rubbish addition, but my kids loved it all like i was hoping they would

Was for the men only. Probably easier to just have both do the same thing. I bet it was rock hard too.

The eliminator was overall shorter - but that is partly because Sheffield arena will be smaller than NEC.

Genuinely enjoyed that this evening - been a while since I've watched BBC on a Saturday evening.

Yeah it was definitely harder than it looked… you’d see their legs pedalling thin air at the same time! Must be a bit like trying to rub your head and pat your stomach

Remember when a contestant won a point it would be a national outrage. These contestants was smashing it.

I’d have a massive struggle just doing the monkey bars tbh!

Wonder what Eunice Huthart is up to these days!

Stunt woman and film star according to Wiki!

She was tweeting earlier about the new series.

Was nice having a sit down as a family with the kids and watching it. My two lads really enjoyed it. Hasn’t wandered from the tried and tested formula. And the dads can enjoy Diamond and Sabre!

It was we watched the very 1st episode not long after the last round has been modified quite abit there was 2 cargo nets in the original the 1st of which they slid down the hell slide from light water valley. There was also a spinning tube they used to run across and it was just a straight run up the travelator, there was no balance thing to negotiate first. It also looks steeper and longer on the original

Original Gladiators wasn't filmed at the NEC, it was filmed at the NIA (National Indoor Arena.)

I went there for a gig in the early 00s, it's F***ing huge

A lad I know ' auditioned ' to be on the before this series as a contestant. He was a pro MMA fighter and stupidly fit.
He got no where near the fitness test requirements .
Boring , but my only gladiator input

 

[The Disciple]

What a load of old b***ks - although to be fair Jet was mint back in the day

 

[sweet_left_foot]

My Gladiator (claim to fame kind of) Jet’s mother used to live next door to my auntie.

I am Jet, or Spartacus. One or the other.

Bionic ???

 

[AytonMews]

That blue fella must have broke his jaw on the balance beam there

We all winced at that. Biggest blow of the evening, which is saying something. Poor Daft Limmy.

 

[BoroPhil]

Yeah, that was ow.

I am enjoying it but I'm not sure I can cope with much more of Barnie and Bradley
