It was a major hit of the nineties; a team of super-fit professionals called the Gladiators took on morbidly ambitious but talented amateurs called the Contenders in a series of seriously physical endurance stoushes. Although the look has been updated ... but not much because there's only so many ways you can use lycra ... and the names are new... but still evocative of thunder and glory ... the basic premise remains. But be warned, the Gladiators are serious athletes including Olympic pole vaulter, Tatiana Grigorieva as (what else?) Olympia. The rest of the females include Amazon, Angel, Bionica, Destiny, Nitro and Viper. Hunter, Kouta, Nomad, Outlaw, Scar, Tank and Thunder are the males. Presented by Tom Williams and Zoe Naylor and presided over by referee Bill Harrigan, this series may be about to prove that you can't keep a good show down.
