Rewind to the 90s as we kick 2024 off with a blockbuster New Years special. We embark on an exhilarating journey through the action-packed arenas of the UK's legendary TV show, "Gladiators." In this episode, we dive deep into the heart-pounding excitement, the memorable characters, and the cultural impact that made "Gladiators" an iconic part of British television history. Join us as we revisit the thrills, spills, and unforgettable moments that defined the 90s Saturday night experience for millions of viewers.

We ask 'Where are they now?' We talk about how one got mixed up with Britains Pablo Escobar, another who has been in prison on more occasions than he can recall, another who remembers being drunk on the programme... There are tales of scandal and sadness, as well as those who have gone on to achieve great things.

Explore the lasting impact "Gladiators" had on pop culture, from catchphrases like "Contender ready!" to the iconic theme music that still resonates with fans today. We reflect on its enduring legacy and the nostalgia it continues to evoke. Join us in celebrating the legacy of "Gladiators" and the unique place it holds in the hearts of viewers who will forever be Contender ready!
