Gladiators is back!
Wednesday 30 January 2008
Gladiators used to be what Saturday prime time TV was all about... and now it's back... 3... 2... 1....GO!
And producers are on the hunt for 12 new Gladiators to fill the place of the old faves like Jet and Hunter.
The hit TV show - which was launched in 1992 - was axed eight years later by ITV bosses after figures slumped.
But the revamped show will be shown on Sky, and an insider said the new-look show will be a hit: "Gladiators always got stick for being naff but the reality is people liked it. Obviously, some of the challenges they used to do were a bit tame, so it will be given a 21st Century makeover."
"A new batch of Gladiators is being sought, and hopefully, they will be every bit as colourful as the original bunch. The contests will also be much more exciting and dangerous," the source revealed.
