The Gladiators Thread

Pretty predictable hosts really, though I thought Helen Chamberlin might be preferred to Kirsty Gallagher.


It's being filmed at Shepperton Studios rather than the NIA - though Sky still say it's ear-marked for a Saturday night slot, which surprises me really as Sky One generally don't put much out on a Saturday - shows of this nature seem to go out on Sunday nights.

I doubt they will steal much of the ITV1 Saturday audience, even though the timeslot is obviously part of the attempt to stir up nostalgia.

Rather epic trailers for the new Australian version (idea pretty much copied from NBC). Will Sky One come up with anything near as expensive-looking, I wonder? Interesting to see that the Aussie show is being produced by Endemol.

To be honest any show on Sky One will never really be any competition to ITV1 or BBC1 due to the fact that many people don't have the channel.

Yes, and I'm worried that fact will mean the show won't be profitable enough for them and it'll die after one season. Either way I would hope it returns to ITV at some point.

Ah so thats where Wolf is...

Panther eh? Must be a reason they've reused an old UK Glad name when all the others are new or old international ones. Would have thought she'd be too old for it though.

Battleaxe is obviously the counterpart to Hellga, to me it looks like the new format specifies there must be a 'beefy' looking woman; Australian Gladiators has one too
