Oh dear lord

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.

you just described every saturday night of my entire childhood. just add the dinner of fish fingers, chips, and beans which dad cooked.

apart from not remembering big break and not liking fish fingers, ditto! i'm sure i recently tried to explain noel's house party to someone and just couldn't.

even just trying to explain mr blobby is doomed to failure. it's like trying to explain panto to americans!
