Referee on the new Gladiators.

Less of a pantomime than becoming a VAR I suppose.

Terribly scripted jokes and fake corpsing from Bradley Walsh too.

I really hate that man

I didn't know that was his son. He's a prick too then by default.

ITV make excellent Post Office drama then sink to the absolute pits with this bxxxxxxx.

Arrrrooooooga

Could be worse ... It could be Danny (The Wauuullll) Dyer...
At least the didn't dig Ulrikkkka ka ka ka Jonson out of the brickwork

I used to like this show when I was about ten.

It’s not a patch on Ninja Warrior now.

I missed the second half because took the dog for a walk.

I like that they've not tinkered much with the format. I remembered that Sky One rebooted about a decade ago, I think Paul Durkin was the referee. This version looked better than that version at least.

I won't be making the effort to watch it again though

Edit - Paul Durkin didn't ref the Sky Version. I’m misremembering.

He was a ref in a show called Simply the Best with Kirsty Gallagher. Who also hosted the Sky version of Gladiators.

I quite enjoyed it

Enjoyed it a lot, glad they kept the same format but agree it would have been great to bring the fash back for it.

I enjoyed it. Like Bradley Walsh but his son is proper boring.

Walsh, entertaining on other stuff looked all at sea on this, clearly took the gig as a vehicle to get his mini me some exposure. Based on last night, his lad needs to be kept well away from the 'family business '.

The world really has gone full circle.

Once upon a time the BBC was making hard-hitting dramas like 'Mr Bates v The Post Office' and ITV was peddling garbage like 'Gladiators'.

It was a bit of lighthearted Saturday night fun. Everything doesn’t have to be hard hitting dramas.

I went to Birmingham to watch Gladiators in 1994. It was a great day out!

All the miserable wankers in this thread must have known they wouldn't enjoy Gladiators and watched it anyway. An odd way to live.

Didn't see it last night but great memories of Saturday night TV as a kid watching Gladiators followed by Blind Date

Watched it out if curiosity, is that ok with you.

I hate you more than that Bradley Walsh fella.

Gladiators is aimed at an audience slightly different to the demographic on here hence the early evening Saturday slot. This can be seen by the majority of kids in the audience waving their foam fingers, and holding up bits of card with their favourite Gladiator names on them.

I watched and enjoyed it for what it is "a bit of fun thats not to be taken seriously"

Yes, the good thing is I don't have to watch it, and I didn't.

Gladiators was great telly back in the day.
