Gladiators is coming back!
Gladiators, one of the most exciting and energetic sports entertainment gameshows ever, will be returning to TV in its brand new home on Channel 10 and 10 Play.
Not a lot of confidence that 10 wont butcher it somehow, but keen as heck to give it a go!

I've seen the first episode as part of some market research. can't say much obviously, but i won't be watching it
Why? Don't we have enough reality TV shit? FFS way to go at dumbing down the population even more....
Game shows of this sort were around for decades before fake reality tv bullshit. In simpler times when families had 1 screen and 5 or less channels they watched lowest common denominator stuff together. Similar shows were around since the early 60s elsewhere but only took off in Australia in the 80s when we copied a British show.
Our kids were raised almost entirely without free to air tv. These shows will never have the impact on popular culture they once did and I wonder how many viewers and how much revenue they generate. I suspect the bigger Aussie youtubers bring in a bigger audience than most of our local free to air productions. Unless their advertising rates are hugely overpriced it makes me wonder how FTA productions are funded.
I had no idea! It's not like ten don't advertise it twice every ad break
You're watching 10? Man I dont think I've looked at it since Thank God You're Here finished months ago.
Just watching Seinfeld repeats
