His voice is still burned into my brain even now all these years later. Good childhood memories.

They need to bring that show back. I miss it.

I really enjoyed the new ones, the gladiators are all pretty great except viper, he's trying to match wolf's persona but falling flat. Oh and they need to replace the son presenter for someone entertaining

They just started filming the second season of the revived show, had some nice family time in Sheffield for day 1 of shooting. The kids were happy! Viper is deliberately nasty, got all the boos from the audience. Ok, can agree partially, you can feel that he is acting, not living it. The rest of the gladiators were really nice to contenders. When one got an injury, the gladiator who did it (unintentionally) was really kind and respectful. Overall, would not really recommend going to the live show, it is much better to watch it on tv rather than have to spend the whole day (it took almost 10 hours all in all). The orgs are doing a decent job though with all the interactive stuff in-between the actual contests, so could be worth it for big fans.
