Gladiators

Never watched it in the mid 90s because it was on ITV and I was (am) a snob, although I was aware of it* and who the people were and the games. *Had no choice, Hunter lived in my town and my school was full of who’d seen him and if he was with Ulrike.

But I am absolutely obsessed with this reboot. I love Guy Mowvray doing the commentary, as an ex rugby player I love the games. I love how they’ve stolen the vortex from the Adventure Game for The Edge.

I love nearly all the Gladiators, except for Viper- I’m quite pleased with how Legend appears to be the villain now (and I love him too) . Giant made me sit up and take notice- partly because he looks so completely and utterly camp in his swimming costume. And it took me ages to figure out where I knew Nitro (and his smile) from. From the women, I love Fury and as someone else said, it’s great to see beefed up women like Diamond too.

The only negative I can see is the nepobaby- hopefully he gets replaced in the next series
