They are going to remake Gladiators

This was one of the odder things I've seen. It's just such an early 90s show... except a lot of the hair was very late 80s. I mean, seriously? It used to be part of my childhood Saturday night TV (which also included Noel's House Party and Big Break. Is it any wonder I turned out like this??) and then I saw several episodes re-run on Sky a couple of years ago and couldn't believe 1) how useless they all were and 2) just how dated it was, and how incredibly cheesy...

...well, that explains the terrible sense of humour and fondness for weak puns, I guess.

*twitch* Memories of Noel's House Party *twitch* not good for sanity. And Big Break (It's Snooker! It's a gameshow! It's an utterly pointless combination of the two!).
Now I think on this, in fact, between Bruce Forsyth presenting the Generation Game, Paul Daniels's magic show, and Jim Davidson on Big Break we were basically getting a triple bill of elderly bigots back then

More or less! It is distressing that that was Saturday night, not that it's necessarily better now (wouldn't know...) but I sincerely hope it's not as bad.... no, wait. Strictly Come Dancing = Bruce Forsyth. Move along, world, nothing's changed.

Of course! Now I remember! And yes I did watch that too.
