Also in todays Britain I think it unlikely they put a bunch of blokes who all have a very 'roided up look, on as primetime family entertainment. Kinda amazing. Just say no, kids!
God I remember watching this when I was a toddler, all sitting around the telly as a family and I used to be cheering for Lightning - she was my favourite gladiator :')
Like EVERYBODY else i used to love this, i was a young kid when this was on and i remember seeing cobra and jet at a pantomime and we were in the box and they waved at us lmao and i was like YESSSSSSSSSSS
now gladiators was a true saturday evening entertament me and my nan ust 2 watch it every saturdat a 6 on itv i may of of been be young then but i this was a ture saturday program along with noel's house party
they were good times there is only a handfull of programs i can watch on a saturday night now i don't even watch programs on sky channles such as cartoon network because it is gotton soo rubbish now
This was 10x better than the XYZ Factor crap you get these days.
That and other legendary shows such as The Generation Game, Strike it Lucky, Blind Date, Play Your Cards Right, Big Break, Bullseye and many many more...
This brings chills down my back i used to love this show when i was young and plus 93/94 was best with phil norman (my fav), eunice ,paul field and of course the international with 2 scoops!!
I like both series, but prefer the original one more because that had more events, cooler music, and superb Gladiators. Wolf will return in the 2009 series to become the Gladiators' coach after making a great return in the Legends Special.
Gladiators is finally coming back and its about time. its on the news next month its back with new gladiators but the nicknames are the same aka panther hunter and wolf etc. i have waited years for it to come back i love it!
yea Gladiators in back skyone and it will be back in may. I love the show as a kid always wanted to be on the show. They looking for contenders. So I applyed hope am older enough.
Lmao, I remember i mate of mine as a child saying he wants to work on the tills in a supermarket when he grows up whilst also being a gladiator...Good times.
I'm from the USA, but I like the UK Glads over the Americans any day. In other words, give me Jet, Saracen, Zodiac, and Wolf over Nitro, Zap, Tower, and Siren anyday.
Chuck out today's ''crap'' TV and bring back the classics

Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
Do you have the will, and the skill?
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?
