Gladiators | Episode 1 Preview (BBC One)

One of the most exciting and iconic sports entertainment gameshows ever, Gladiators returns to screens in its brand-new home on the BBC.

Hosted by father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh, the show will see a new generation of superhuman Gladiators competing against a brave set of contenders in the ultimate test of speed and strength.

They will take part in a series of brand-new games alongside classic challenges including fan-favourite The Eliminator.

Tonight, four contenders must face our resident superhumans across five brutal events before going head-to-head in the legendary Eliminator. Who has the will and the skill to conquer the infamous Travelator and win a place in the quarter-finals?

In this round, Legend makes a statement on Hang Tough, Sabre gets her claws out in the Ring and contenders feel Viper’s venom on Collision Bridge.

Gladiators launches Saturday 13th January at 5:50pm on BBC One.
