Now that's done we are trying to find a TV program not hosted by Bradley Walsh. We have not been successful so far smile

He did it very well in my view .He really is doing a lot of TV right now.

Really enjoyed that! My wife also enjoyed it despite being a bit young to watch it the first time round so maybe not just nostalgia. (Though obviously cheesy as fk!)

I was surprised Bradley didn't get the Wheel of Fortune gig.

Bloody brilliant in our house, we absolutely loved it! Obviously it was the BBC so we had to have a same sex marriage for the kids to ask "what?" but apart from that it was joyous unadulterated Saturday night fun.

Gladiators were superb and the young lad who battled through his knee op was a trouper, I felt the pang of pain that makes you spew when he hit that second stride on the travelator (3 knee ops here).

Really?

Why would that be a problem for your kids?

Why are you concerned what my kids are aware of?

Bradley good and a true pro but Barney let's be honest like Ronan kemp get the gigs because of there Dad's.The programme was great entertainment glad they stuck to a successful formula that didn't need changing.The scowling gladiator is a poor version of wolf at least wolf was humorous.I wonder how these new gladiators would have stacked up to the originals.Jet and lightning pretty much untouchable on the rings and the early days Shadow was a beast on duel contenders were beaten before they got up there those eyes just psyched contenders out.The re hashed Gladiators on sky that was short lived Tornado was a formidable gladiator.

You felt the need to point out something perfectly normal as odd.

Didn’t ITV try and revamp it a few years ago and mess it up?

Shows not to mess with a classic! Looking forward to a few more classic games returning.

Sky 1 had 2 series hosted by Caroline flack and Ian Wright then kirsty Gallagher.One of the glads is the Dr on this morning zoe something goes out with Hunter.Was a similar format but on much smaller scale eliminator did have hand bike which which was really tough on some contenders and also had the pyramid game which was gruelling.Tgey had some of the original glads go up against that crop for charity and remember Hunter toppling the new glad who hadn't lost on duel and lightning still being an amazing athlete and in better shape than her pomp.
