The Gladiators Are Back!!!

So the Gladiators are back.

I wasn't sure what to expect when it started and although the show had some poor points overall it wasn't too bad.

The set itself has changed a bit, to be expected with a new studio, it now resembles American Gladiators more, with the smaller audience. Sky were obviously looking for ways to save money on the set, as it looks like more like an all-in-one set, which makes it easier to setup for the different games.

Kirsty and Ian look like the right choice for the job, both are good presenters and they work quite well together.

Still haven't made my mind up yet about the Gladiators themselves yet, the men are noticeably smaller than the original Gladiators. There are certainly a few fox's among he women.

The biggest thing wrong with Gladiators, in my opinion, is the voice over guy. He is by far the worst choice for the job, that is something they will have to change in the future.

But I am looking forward to next weeks episode, which means there will be a good television line up on a Sunday evening, as NCIS Series 5 starts on FX.

P.S. Did anybody notice that the guy in the Wii sponsored by Ads, between the show and the main adverts, is Saracen from the original Gladiators? Looking forward to seeing him on Gladiators - The Legends
