well, looks like theyre gonna attempt to revive Gladiators over here. Hosted by bradley Walsh & his son! who else. I dont know the line up but Im not holding my breath for it to be wall to wall with our fav ladies. In the original, our British champ Kimberley anne jones auditione d & was told she was too short,end off. It was filled with gymnasts & track atheletes who,d get berated for losing, one ! weeks notice to say they,d been re-signed, & when stars like Jet got seriously injured, not even offers of panto made it worth it for them. The truth is, while it outlasted many international versions, I think it went on long after american Gladiators finished, it costs too much, even for LWT & Sky, no amount of kiddies watching, contestants wanting to compete & sale of lunch boxes & cotton - buds recouped the cost of it & the time it takes to set up the games. Even weirder, its the BBC who have to spend licence fee money wisely or else! One things for sure , any female gladiator with a bit of muscle tone,ll scare the snowflakes & get branded muscly & manly by press & viewers who havent seen real muscle like Natalie Edmondson or louise Plumb. In short,like most TV events, a lot of publicity, but it wont last.
