What’s brilliant about this version, is that they used the original theme from the 90s!! 😁

The opening was great at least not cut or edited sbd keot tge originally soundtrack theme song since the 90s its works in 2024 plus the opening is extrnded beyond 58 seconds so coukd hsve cut it to say 1min and had hosts hyoe up abd rause habds abd keot the theme song going during the announcers pluss should still be in Birmingham International indoors arena
As they say never mess with perfection
Loved it, such a nostalgia trip for those of us who watched the original in the 90s, same logo, same opening theme, and the arena looks the same, bloody brilliant
indoor Arena in Brimingham where did it
This is how you do a Reboot correctly
Correct! I'm loving the new series, takes me right back to Saturday nights as a kid. ❤
Genuinely impressed with this version. The fact that the original was ITV, it’s quite amazing that they’ve used the original music.
Just seeing this intro with the original theme and arena aesthetic, already destroys that mid 00's attempt at a revival. Stoked to watch the full episode!
I really enjoyed it
thats then wrong Arena is indoor arena in Birmingham's National Indoor Arena, now known as Utilita Arena Birmingham
30 years later and here i am watching Gladiators again! I'm buzzing. My favourite show back in the day. Jet, Lightning,Wolf. Good times.
This is what made great weekend tv. Pure passion and entertainment. Wolfs antics. Lots of laughs and it encouraged young people to get fit. I dont know how long this reboot will last. But its so great to see it back regardless.
Honestly when I saw this intro the feels from when I was a kid came flying back! ❤
This sounds like the intro to the Thundercats with the increased tempo, horns, guitar, vocals, sound effects and roars!
The BBC have got this spot on. I notice the action replay graphics are similar to the 90's version, the theme is the same and some of the events are the same. Absolutely brilliant, a blast from the past, awesome.
The interesting thing which seems to have been learned over the past few years, is the skill of not changing something. There was a time, particularly from around the mid 90's, where there was a misguided need to alter things way too much, for no real reason. I'm thinking of disasters such as Jim Davidson's Generation Game, The 1995 Krypton Factor, The final series of Telly Addicts, series' 7 and 8 of Noel's House Party. Some things require change as time progresses, but it's about knowing what to leave well alone and how far to take change when it has to occur. Until a few years ago, the train of thought would have been that you couldn't just completely mimic the old series because it would look old fashioned. So they'd revamp the theme tune, redesign the set, bring in all manner of changes to distance it from the 90's. But here, we just straight up have the old theme tune, graphics which match the original look, same set design. Even the clothing of the Gladiators is proper 90's. And when you look at other recent revivals, such as The Big Breakfast and The Crystal Maze, they've been more inclined to just recreate the show as it always was, rather than try to reinvent it. My mind instantly heads towards Knight Rider, as a prime example of where attempted reboots failed due to unwelcome change. All the fans ever wanted was what it originally was. But producers couldn't accept that a show with early 80's styling could ever work in that form years later. Gladiators might be a standout lesson in just keeping what was originally created, if it works well enough. You don't need to try and reinvent the wheel.
I love how the new gladiators takes on the ques from the original, that it follows the themes of the original
I felt the power of this version of the classic intro when it got straight to the verse and showed the new gladiators 💪🏾
The bass drop on Apollo and Bionic works so well
biocic is new hunter dose icon pose
So glad they used the original song - not even rerecorded or anything!! Disappointed they didn't use the original music for each event, especially the Eliminator.
Yea. Not sure why... The new music didn't have any character
The same guy Muff Murfin wrote the Eliminator and the event themes so surely they could have licenced them.Only issue would be the new events .
It's not the original, it's been reworked. The original had some epic early 90's guitar riffs in it 😂
I remember the other one they did it was a complete flop this one brings back old memories
Gave me Goosebumps when the theme kicked in. So much nostalgia and pumps me up every time 👊👊
@mckill85. I always get goosebumps as well
Very enjoyable glad it hadnt been messed about will be tuning in next week.
Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
Do you have the will and the skill?
Do you have the speed,
the strength,
the heart to be a winner?
It's not for beginners
deep down in your soul
Are you a Gladiator?
(instrumental break)
Are you a GLADIATOOOOOOR!
The producers of the show have done very well here. They’ve retained enough about the original programme to make it nostalgic for the 30+ year-olds, whilst giving it enough energy to be appealing to the youngsters. They’ve cast the Gladiators well, too. A good bunch.
My only minor gripe would be that - having retained the traditional theme tune - they then haven’t retained any of the traditional music for the specific events. Please bring back the original Eliminator music. Likewise, for Dual and Hang Tough. The background music for these events seems largely forgettable otherwise.
Any minor criticism aside though, thank you for resurrecting a Saturday night classic.
Maybe they couldn't afford the secondary music after blowing it all on the main theme!
About as true to the classic series as you can get. Loved watching the 1st episode tonight.
you know i started watching this thinking i would hate it but ended up loving it, Not watered down just as brutal and we have the new Wolf lol. Even the opening credits wasnt cut short like i was expecting longer if anything
Not really, they butchered the theme music. Cut out a big chunk from the start, then edited in extra bits at the end. Just sounded weird. Rest of the show was great though! :)
I mean of course it's not going to be exactly as we remembered the 90s version, but these new gladiators are definitely good, my favourites are nitro and fury, nitro because he's always smiling, and fury because she represents born deaf athletes. Plus being an international rugby union player.
yeah they cut that bit at the begining but had the theme carry on instead of seeing the Gladiators come out,
@@ryanspooner092
Loved this. Took me back to being 8 years old again. Can’t wait for tomorrow night’s episode. Kudos BBC, that’s how you do a reboot.
Just missing was the iconic music like was used in the duel game
I don't mind reboots being different to the original, but visually having a modernized version of the originals aesthetic is much nicer than the Sky reboot, where everything looked so bland.
I am so happy they brought back the 90's theme song we all know and love.
They just need to bring back the international gladiators be good to see our Aussie gladiators team up with uk gladiators again
I’m glad I had to watch this show today
One of my favourite physical game shows is back and they keep the old theme song awesome.
Shame they didnt keep the event music
I too was dissapointed they hadn't kept the game's original soundtrack too. When they opened with Duel, I was realllyyyyy expecting to hear the music and will admit I felt a bit deflated. Still, great show though!
So much better than then time Sky tried to reboot it. So glad they got the original theme and made the arena look like the original from the 90s but just tweaked it a bit.
This is taking me back!!!!!
So glad that BBC One GLADIATORS have the original theme song back!!!
Slightly modified theme but yes its amazing to see
Yes, Gladiators brings back the original theme song in the opening title better than the different theme song in the opening title in the failed Sky series era between the 11th May 2008 and the 25th October 2009.
@@Andy28548nah it's the same, the album version has the original vocalist. This and the classic had this altered voice.
@Andy28548 edited differently but the same recording as the LWT version.
@@SRC267this one is the original TV and the CD version is different (rock version)
I feel a S2
Fantastic classic theme song in the opening title on Gladiators very glad. 🙂😀😃☺️😊😇🙏
Loved it, totally works.
Legend is the Best!!!!!
Nitro and Viper are also pretty great
Yoooo that intro was hype af , can’t beat the original theme
I've watched this last night it was awesome 👍😊🤩😎
Oooh the extended theme tune they never even used it for origional series ... didnt realise how many glads
Gladiators reintroduces the classic theme song in the opening title than the 1990’s era.
They didn’t need to as each goad had a 2 second headshot intro
So the BBC basically took an LWT show and gave the public what they wanted. Meanwhile on ITV, they relaunched Wheel of Fortune and completely f**ked it up
It was based on the 'American Gladiators' format in which MGM Television does own the format.
Again, Wheel of Fortune was based on the US format made by Califon Productions Inc. and was owned by SONY Pictures Television (SPT).
Sabre 🤩
This show is also on Network Ten in my country (Australia) at the moment.
While there are brand new generation of Gladiators and their new aesthetic suit but one thing that hasn't change is the theme song from the 90s.
6 million viewers!
Fantastic first Episode ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
THEY KEPT THE THEME!!
Best decision!
Sabre ❤
Enjoy watching the heat 1 of gladiators I can't wait for heat 2 next week I think 2024 series repeat on challenge TV at some point
i wish they used the old music for the events like dual :( also it ain’t the same without the old gladiators like wolf and jet
My 3 fave women Glads are Fury, Dynamite and Athena❤
Speed up the intros then you can fit in the build up before the lyrics. But love they brought the theme back!
TUNE! makes you wanna bench press more than you can handle but then wake up in the morning needing ibuprofen and deep heat lol
I've been rewatching the 90's episodes this last week & I can confirm as someone who grew up with this, they did a phenomenal job recreating the magic of the original, the new Gladiators are already giving me character & the host's did well, I hope they grow in confidence as the show progresses...
I just need a slightly more enthusiastic theatrics from the Walsh's & crowd.
But I loved it regardless, Lightening, Jet, Nightshade, Hunter, Rhino & Wolf being my favourites. 🏋🏽♀️🏋🏻♂️
Couldn’t agree more mate, although I’d love to see atlaspheres and the pyramid back
Nice announcement from Duncan “Mummy’s Boy” Newmarch!
he's a national treasure Idc
@@bluefrogTV_ I know.
Loved it. Made me feel 16 again
I like to Apollo aka Alex Gray 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
I don't think I'd watch if it wasn't the original theme just gives so much nostalgia ❤
and money and holidays and appperance on American gladiators
I so happy keep original theme music.
It's not often you open a show with a theme tune tecorded over 30 years ago.
Seems to have been a huge hit for BBC One though. Who knew the thing that might knock Strictly off its perch was with us all along?!
didn't have music for the events started or timer or right Pugil Sticks colours the original arena and cheerleaders and john Anderson Ulrika and john the presenters and John Sachs
Last. Night I watch gladiators on BBC 1 2024 please it is back on
Now that it’s back, I think they should get Kellogg’s Frosties to sponsor!
This is the BBC. There's no sponsors.
the bbc doesn’t have adverts
Haha! You doughnut 🍩 😜
the original arena and cheerleaders and john Anderson Ulrika and john the presenters and John Sachs
The BBC does NOT have any adverts. Stop being ridiculous.
I like the new wolf viper bad ass just like wolf in the day
i have just been watching Gladiators and i think there is a new version of the wolfman in it only this time its Viper who's Aggressive and doesn't like losing i remember that happend with wolf but other then that i am glad that gladiators has returned.
Wolfman was a bad sport and a sore loser. He always reckoned that anyone that beat him was very lucky. He refused to shake hands with any contestant that beat him too.
Fury is amazing! 🤩
Good theme true
America, it’s your turn. BTW, syndicate this, and DO NOT sell to NBC!!!
I could guess the reason why this has the classic ITV theme is because I can guess MGM owns the rights to it.
Needless to say, that's what I thought when I heard it and really surprised me! This reboot was pretty good as a whole.
Was hoping the ref from the 90s version John Anderson was back. Clattenberg was ok
Considering John is now 92, it wasn't going to happen lol
Clattemberg was crap bring back.john Anderson as couldn't understand a wordbhecwas saying
@@staffordahoy679 didn’t know he was 92 lol.
John Anderson is far too old to return to Gladiators and now it is Mark Clattenburg the new Gladiator referee in this reboot series former English football referee in the Premier League from 2004 to 2017.
@@shanga7827Mark was a better referee than the one they had for the 2nd sky one series
What happened to Wolfman? I can remember him being a sore loser. He was a bad sport too. He reckoned that contestants that beat him were very lucky. He refused to shake hands with them after they had beaten him.
Thats viper not wolf
@@UAndJDLOGOS Wolfman acted in that manner when he made an appearance on Gladiators in Australia.
Duncan Newmarch Eu Locução?
Barney. I don't do Facebook or anything like that. I understand you suffer with blepharitis. I suffer really bad. And I mean bad why I don't know. And never got any answers from doctors to help only warm compression. You said that you took a tablet once a day .what is it .many thanks. And good luck with the new show ❤
Giant is an absolute unit and sabre is the new jet.
Comet will take that crown from Sabre.

Dose John sacs not voice it anymore.
Sadly no, It's someone else.
John Sachs doesn’t commentate Gladiators in this reboot series now, because he commentated the original Saturday night television series from the 10th October 1992 to the 1st January 2000 and now it is the BBC football commentator Guy Mowbray is commentating Gladiators in this reboot series.
Who's the charismatic WOLFMAN equivalent in the new series.? He made the OG the hit that it was.
Viper I’d say
@@silverscreenreviews8521 Fair enough. Looks a lot better than the reboot of 2008. Could be a ratings success in the long run.
@@Bossman525 I agree it’s a vast improvement over that one for sure. Was massively let down though by no travelator theme! That really annoyed me the most, and it’s hard to describe but this felt a little like gladiators on stage’esc. While the original felt more like an event!
@@silverscreenreviews8521 I tell you what, I remember the original first season as if it was yesterday. Everyone in my school was talking about it back in 92. The hype around it was amazing and the same year we had Summerslam 92 at Wembley Stadium. Gladiators used the wave of WWF wrestling popularity to create it's own hype. Definitely, the show of the 90s when it came to razzamatazz, characters and pure HYPE
@@Bossman525 I know man me to! Saturday nights in my living room with fish, chips and beans for dinner and gladiators! What a time to grow up! When I was that age I missed the 80s but now I’m living in the world we are now…. Fuck man take me back to the 90s! How wrong was I lol
Прикольно я тожэ хочу так играть

So far, so good! I like that they have kept the theme tune and the basic format of the 1990s show but added a few new events and of course new Gladiators!
you can see some of the echoes of the old characters -
Diamond is the new Jet
Phantom the new Shadow
Giant the new Warrior
Apollo the new Hunter
And Viper the new Wolfman! etc
Maybe it is just me, but I see echoes
And Mark clattenburg the new John Anderson!!!!!!!
I would say Comet is maybe the new Jet with her background in Gymnastics but spot on with the rest
It was going amazingly well until Bradley appeared with his gump son. Why did they select these two to present, and not go with a new John and Ulrika?
How is it possibly fare when the gladiators are on steroids 😡
The Giant guy has admitted to coming off gear but ultimately it is still non naturals vs naturals
Honestly, whilst it's a pity the rest of the soundtrack was a bit lackluster (has the opposite problem of the Sky One Reboot's overly serious score which I still like bits of where this one is too mild) and thought the Ring is skewered way too easily in favour of the contender (should work more like Pyramid), I thought it was fine. We'll see how the rest of the season goes.
The competitors are meant to score a lot in Ring, but that's why they play against each other at the same time, so that the high scores are the crux of the competition. I think the alternative, a far lower scoring grapple fest, would have gotten extremely boring, and it's probably okay for the direct 1-on-1 competitor games to trend towards higher scores as a result
Matt does fitness is on there what a joke😂
He looks different
Why are you hating on the man,he got offered an opportunity and he took it🙄
@@thechosenone93 tbh none of them compare to the old gladiators. The problem is years ago when you saw the gladiator's you were in awe of them because they were unique. Now everyone goes to the gym and looks the same. It's no longer special
@@MrDazza082 Well time has passed and there’s now a younger generation that will be inspired by the 2024 cast just like the 90s cast inspired youngsters of that time. No need to compare the past to the future
@@thechosenone93 can understand that . Issue is this generation needs to create something of their own. Come up with a different idea rather than re booting everything from the past..
The problem with the 2024 version is that it might as well be called multilateral Gladiators it should of been 100% the same as the 90s one with cheerleaders and no PC bullshit
You mean? multicultural. There was black gladiators in the old version..there's still.more white gladiators.. I don't see the issue I agree they shouldn't have got rid of the cheerleaders but I don't knownwhy people are so offended by more coloured faces on thier tvs.
It's not like any woke politics are being preached her.
Maybe the BBC are pushing diversity a bit too much but here I think it works.
You do get athletes of all cultures. Especially now a days the 90s was a different time
There were black Gladiators in the original too. So you're wrong.
Thought this was a good revival. Bradley Walsh is disappointing as host unfortunately.
Never liked him he does my head in noooot funny
The chase is on
Om
Barney walsh is terrible,fash needs to karate kick him while screaming awooga
Why Bradley Walsh and his talentless son though?
Bradley’s on everything!
Couldn’t they get anyone else to present?
It's Hungry Bear Media, so of course they have to have Bradders on. I heard that if the reboot gets renewed Holly Willoughby might join them as well. I don't think three presenters is going to work, and it just feels like if it does happen, Dan Baldwin (who co-founded and operates Hungry Bear) hasn't learnt his lesson about milking his dear-ol wife after the whole predator trying to harm Holly fiasco back in October.
I tend to make fun of HBM a lot because almost all their shows have the same peeps on them and they're just an easy target for me to criticise. From the hurrendous Dapper Laughs show on ITV2 to that forgettable Play to the Whistle panel show that Holly fronted.
Ulrika Johnson
Like Fash
One of the old Female gladiators would have been better or guest star presenter
It was OK definitely not anywhere near as good as the original version and they gone WOKE where are the cheerleaders they got rid of the cheerleaders
I dreamt in Autumn 2022, while I was in Hospital, that Bradley had died
You’re so weird dude
Im
Only presenting as my dad’s famous son.
I didn’t enjoy it viper was cringe. It’s just a miss
They need to draft Wolf in to give him some anger management classes.
I know right. Feels like they are trying to be Ant and Dec as well
Should have had at least 1 female presenter and not 2 men! Come on. Make it fair for both.
Just watched it the gladiators have zero personality its pretty cringey tbh
They get a bit better by episode 3
On a scale of 1 to "non binary they/they, white privilege, toxic masculinity Rraacccciiissstttt", how woke will this show be?
-10.
Its not woke in the slighest 😂 people are so miserable
It was OK definitely not anywhere near as good as the original version and they gone WOKE where are the cheerleaders they got rid of the cheerleaders
Right wing nut jobs tend to use the word "woke" more than those who devised the term these days.
