https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertain ... ewsupdate/

Our Saturday evenings are about to be booming again, as Gladiators has officially been confirmed to return next year.

The energetic sports entertainment show will make its comeback in 2023 in its brand new home on the BBC.

Gladiators will return with an 11 episode series made by Hungry Bear Media and MGM Television UK.

Filming will take place at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in 2023 and further information about the series, including broadcast details, will be announced in due course.

I'm going to apply for this. Doubt I'll get anywhere but you never know...

I'm positive Sky1 tried this and it bombed really quickly, despite not really tampering with the format?

Someone will remember!

As I recall the Sky reboot was filmed in a studio so they were a lot more limited on the scope of the events they could do. This one is being filmed in a large arena like the original so they have way more space to work with.

They tampered with the format quite badly. They made the Gladiators into boring BDSM-clad Wolf clones, and used a swimming pool instead of crash mats. The studio was much smaller, and had no atmosphere at all.

MCN is a confirmed vanilla.

Jet

I doubt if Jet will appear in this reboot, not after the millennium barn dance which turned into an all night rave.

Also Jet as The Games Mistress on Sky Ones Games World was the best thing ever when I was growing up.

They better have the tune

Yeah, shut down BBC4 for this.

Lots of love for Jet i see, yet no one has bothered to mention Lightning.

it was all about jet sorry

Jet will tie you up and hit you over and over until you tell her to stop.

But Lightning doesn't strike twice.

Ligtning was also a fine option for the childhood fantasy.

Until she left, then it was all about Vogue

I'm 100% a Jet man, but Lightning was on telly this morning and she still looks amazing. I tried to get my son to watch an episode on YouTube this morning and they were giving Flame's vital statistics in the intro to Atlaspheres - I imagine that won't be a thing this time round :slol:

It's political correctness gone mad.

Just seeing the name "John Fashanu" has me thinking of that bloody The Day Today sketch :lol:

They should ask Ulrika to return.
