It was a Saturday night staple back in the 90s and the iconic gameshow Gladiators is looking for a new batch of contenders after being officially confirmed for a return to our screens. Grab your pugil sticks because the action-packed entertainment show is making a comeback to a new home on the BBC.
A new 11 episode series is being produced by Hungry Bear Media, and they are on the search for elite athletes across the UK at the peak of their physical fitness to be part of the new generation of Gladiators. They are on the lookout for people, aged 18 and above, with the speed and skill to take on the mighty new Gladiators.
The gameshow originally aired from 1992 to 2000 on ITV and was hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu. During this era the likes of Trojan, Jet, Nightshade and Hunter became household names.
