do you think itv should bring back gladiators for a one off episode?

Yes because it would be better than what we are getting on a Saturday night at the moment Smile

Well I liked Gladiators as well and a one-off would be suitable. My favourite gladiator was Wolf because he was strong, popular and he was a local hero to me.

Would you want the original presenters to come back, or some new people?

Melanie Sykes and Mark Durden-Smith would suit it IMO

it would be good to have the original gladiators but i wouldn't mind them getting new presenters.

I think most are now 'passed it'. Wolf looked ancient when the show started!

They've already done that, 4 of them in fact.

It's not the same watching them on Challenge.. even if you recorded it and watched it on a Saturday.

Saturday night TV has gradually got worse over the past 10 years or so. I didn't catch Phillip Schofield's programme on Saturday but yet another show axed after only a few episodes (or one in this case) is pretty appalling. Why commission them in the first place?

I think a one off Gladiators would be quite good. As long as the original presenters and gladiators remained (they might be a bit old for it now right enough).

Which was the final non-celeb Gladiators?

The one I always remember, was that coloured chap Sam against policeman Paul Fielding; Paul won convincingly and Sam had to be replaced part way through the contest anyway because he got injured. Don't know what year that was.

In its time it was very much a must-see show for myself and others; if it returned then I would welcome it, provided the format remained pretty much unaltered.

I loved Gladiators it was the entertaining, compared to our s*ite schedule on ITV1 on Saturdays. So yes, even if it was a one off. Smile
