I enjoyed it anyway, the hour flew by.

The difference is John Anderson was a decorated Olympic coach and so it felt that he was involved in recruitment and training of the Gladiators stars. His control came from being their coach as well.

Clattenburg just blows a whistle.

It is funny how things move though, the contestants are the same size, if not bigger than the Gladiators are now

The gauntlet in particular used to be beautifully brutal because you had to get your head smashed in to get past 4 of the Gladiators

Yesterday mateyboy skipped around them all with ease

Glad you and maybe others enjoyed it, but the thought of sitting here watching that, doesn't appeal to me at all must be an age thing :lol:

My grandsons were here and enjoyed it.
The oldest ones eyes lit up when Sabre walked out anyway. :lol:

Six million overnight viewers which is a huge figure these days. Fair play.

When you stop and think about that, you would think hang on how do they ferking know 6 million people watched it, IMO it's a sheer impossibility to come to that conclusion, I haven't watched the programme, but I know for a fact that is just pure guff.

I thought you were Spartacus?

No I’m not. But I know a man who is.

The fact that Prossers grand kids enjoyed tells you much, its a Saturday show to keep the rugrats happy for a hour on a Saturday night along with the likes of Prosser himself, its right up his street

I think they usually fight with weapons, lions would be much too heavy.
