chocchick Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Did anyone else use to watch Gladiators? I'm fairly ashamed but apparently I am a closet fan and know a lot more about the 90s version than I should. I hate game shows and sport so quite a surprising choice, but it was pure panto and the old Scottish referee is back. I hope Sky don't ruin it for me. Not convinced by some of the new costumes, look a bit chilly! http://www.gladiatorszone.co.uk/gladiators/new/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 DD and I used to watch it religiously. We especially liked the competitors Phil and Eunice. I wonder what happened to them? I'm looking forward to it's return, much to my eternal shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Eunice became a Gladiator I think. There was a programme on Sky 1 last night about it. There were interviews with Gladiators. No-one in the documentary could remember the word pugil stick except me who thought it was an easy question There is another programme (Sunday?) before the series starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomaxsmith Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm really looking forward to it too - and loving all the build up it's getting - when does it actually start? I just hope my kids enjoy it, otherwise I'll have to Sky+ it and watch it on my own Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope my kids enjoy it, otherwise I'll have to Sky+ it and watch it on my own Jo It starts 1th May I'm quite looking forward to it. Can anyone else believe how old Wolf is - he was 52 when they first launched Gladiators I watched the A-Z thing too, and realised that I used to watch it a lot, favourite challenge has to be the rings!

Treekeeper Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 We actually went to the NEC to watch it being filmed!! It's all over the place because they have to set things up so it's quite a long day just to record one show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The thing with Jet is that she looked fairly petite & feminine next to the other Glad girls, but we saw her next to normal sized women & she looked massive Still very good looking though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
