Gladiators to return to TV screens

[Lady Whistledown]

Just when you thought Saturday night TV had reached the pinnacle of crap-ness, somebody's decided what we really need is more beefcake in leotards again.

At least it'll give the struggling fake tan industry a boost I suppose. Any suggestions for new Gladiator names for the 21st Century?

I always thought this one looked like she may previously have been a man. Falcon, in case you were wondering. Lovely mullet.

Won't it be cheaper to buy some immigrant gladiators rather than tried and tested english folk?

I hope Nightshade my personal favourite will be returning.

Hubba, hubba.

when for me the obvious choice was MICHAEL VAN WYK (any real fan will know who that is!).

Any ideas what he's doing now? Haven't heard of him since the show finished.

Apparently, it's going to be all new Gladiators (lineup to be announced in March) with a mix of classic events and new ones.

I reckon a real Roman style Gladiators contest would pull in a bigger crowd

He lives in New Zealand with his family. I read that on some Gladiators geekfest site this morning whilst *cough* researching this story.

I'd like to see it done in a running man stylee with convicts performing against the gladiators and if they lose they DIE.

What a classic show. I was DELIGHTED yesterday to hear it's coming back. What a result! The only slight disappointment is that Ian Wright is rumoured to be the new presenter, when for me the obvious choice was MICHAEL VAN WYK (any real fan will know who that is!).

Any real fan would have spelt his name right too.

With Simon Cowell deciding whether they live or die with a thumbs up or down

Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?

 

[crodonilson]

Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
Can you face the challenge of the champions?
Do you have the courage of a hero?
Do you have the will and the skill?

Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
It's not for beginners.
Deep down in your soul...
Are you a Gladiator?

Gotta move like a streetwise fighter.
Gotta face the fire of the tiger.
Gotta give your all to win.
Ready or not, let the challenge begin.

Can you match the strength of the Gladiators?
Do you have the fire within you?
Do you have the heart of a lion?
Do you have the power in your soul?

Now it's time to race, it's face-to-face, get on the track now.
There's no turning back now.
Your future's on the line.
Are you a Gladiator?

Gotta move with lightning speed.
Feel the strength for what you need.
Gotta take it on the chin.
Gotta love it, love to fight and win.

Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
Can you face the challenge of the champions?
Show the stuff you're made of.
Can you seal the fate of...
The Gladiators?
Can you challenge the Gladiators?
Will you take on the Gladiators?
Will you be the new champion?

The Gladiators!
