This came as something of a surprise, a nice bit of of 90's nostalgia, fun completions, you get to see the general public once again take on all manner of Greek gods and amazing Amazonians.

How nice to have a Saturday evening show that isn't a singing contest or dancing.....it is a lot less box ticking than I expected it to be

So, there are some new events, all all new lineup of Gladiators, there are locker room sequences, where you see the guys and girls interacting with one another.

Of course there's no Wolf, he made the classic show, but there is Viper, time will tell if he'll fill those boots.

We'll also see if Mark Clattenburg is a better Gladiator referee than football referee.

There are some of the classic events, there's plenty of old music sequences.

I'm a big fan of Bradley Walsh, but please....did he need to be presenting this as well, there seems to be a pool of about two presenters, Bradley and Stephen Mulhern, wasn't Ulrika available?

8/10.
