43:42 One of the greatest and nail biting finishes in all of Gladiators history. I remember so clearly watching this when it aired. I was 8. I jumped off the sofa and nearly broke my mum's Glass cup lol. Such a legendary moment. This episode made Eunice a star.
She so nearly blew it. Everyone wants an exciting finish, the men’s final was anything but
Being a sad geek I checked the reg number of that Transit ambulance - remarkably it survived until 2003 on the road according to the DVLA.
random and beautiful )
I do that all.the time
ive never seen shadow as emotional as he was after the tackle against sam on powerball
This is what needs to come to UK Saturday night TV in 2022. I think families would go crazy for this and be a huge ratings success and replace the dated X factor .
Health and safety Britain you’d not be allowed hardly any of the games on here no more, that one on the pyramid throwing eachother off it that will never happen again I’m afraid
We went from Gladiators to The Masked Dancer. So sad.
@@josephhoward9419 Pyramid and tilt, maybe not (though as I understand it, in the 2008 games tilt was done over water rather than padding, since a belly flop onto water is far less nasty than the tumble Panther took). The wall should be perfectly fine, since there's no chance of a fall, and hang tough could likewise be done over water. The others should all be fine.
@@josephhoward9419
health and safety my ass this show need to come back and if there is safety issues the will just have to make it so that the risk is minimized as possible
@@danielannett1019 there would be no point in this coming back as ALL the games would be so health and safety conscious it just would be an entirely different and boring show altogether. The pyramid for starters would be 5 foot high with safety harness’s and they wouldn’t be allowed to grab eachother incase if offended the transgender army, this countries gone so soft it is beyond a joke
The crime rate in Holborn that night must have been sky high seeing as Paul Field brought the entirety of Holborn Police Station with him.
😂😂
It was a good day to rob a bank.
@@Kat-mu8wq Definitely was.
Criminals thruout Holburn must have been cracking open the champagne.
@@user-sb2tb9oe7d I was 1 years old, so was unfortunately unable to rob any banks that day.
49:35-49:39, the U.K. Female Gladiators comforting a child! What an evening, what a final, what a series indeed!
Oh man.... Childhood flashbacks right there. Good ole days. Evenings in with the family. 4 channels on the tele. No mobile phones.
I remember this final so well! We were there in the arena, I remember Eunice jumping on the bonnet of that car and my mom laughing her head off. Fab memories x
As someone currently living in America that has firm British roots, great to see Hawk, Jazz, Ice and Nitro from the AGs in the crowd. You’ll see Hawk and Jazz after the women’s Gauntlet, Ice after the women’s Powerball and Nitro after the men’s PB.
I know I'm spoiling a bit, but here's the complete event count for the entire 1994-95 season of "Gladiators" (including the domestic series, Celebrity Challenge, Fighting Forces Challenge, and the first International Gladiators series)...

Duel--17 times (11 domestic, both specials, 4 IG)
The Wall--12 times (7 domestic, both specials, 3 IG)
Hang Tough--12 times (8 domestic, 4 IG)
Pyramid--11 times (the most of the new events; 6 domestic, both specials, 3 IG)
Pursuit--8 times (5 domestic, Celebrity, 2 IG)
Atlaspheres--6 times (4 domestic, both specials)
Gauntlet--6 times (4 domestic, 2 IG)
Pole-Axe--6 times (4 domestic, 2 IG)

Tilt--twice (domestic Heat 5, QF 1)
Joust--twice (domestic Heat 2, IG Heat 3)
Take me back to 1994 please. PS I think Shadow tackled Sam dangerously.
Looked like a variation of the Stone Cold Stunner wrestling move. Suprisingly when it restarted, Warrior did a similar thing to Phil!
eunice was AMAZING
These two ladies were my fave ever female final - outstanding
And when you all are watching this grand final of the 3rd series 1994, on the 4th event, Powerball Sam Codjoe had picked up an injury from his neck when a gladiator, Shadow hooked him with his arm with a terrible tackle, and if he couldn't compete Duel and the Eliminator, then there would be a substitute contender that he would be replaced by .... Phil Campbell (Salesman from Lee-on-Solent, Gosport, Hampshire) as a stand by who was beaten by Sam in the Semi finals.
Are you ok
Everyone remembers Eunice, but Kerryn was awesome too. She usually dominated Powerball but I think the glads focused on her because of that in the final. It was ridiculously close on the eliminator and could've gone either way, with both of them failing the travelator. Kerryn would go on to beat Eunice in the ashes I believe. Both of them are stand out contenders across the shows entire run.
Kerryn did beat Eunice in the Ashes final in Brisbane
My favourite series of the Gladiators, Paul Field had some excellent sportsmanship he was respectful to his fellow competitors and gladiators.
What a fantastic season! So many dramatic moments all throughout, and this Grand Final was no exception!
Shadow was clearly shaken up by that tackle. He could barely form sentences in that interview.
I really liked Shadow in these first three series'. I'd probably even go so far to say that he's my favorite. It's a terrible, terrible shame what happened to him afterwards.
Jason Jeffery yeah especially since every single male gladiator (and some of the women) were roided up as well. Dumb to single him out.
Shadow was simply a legend.
Great series. Pop Trivia: Eunice went on to train Angelina Jolie for her action scenes in Tomb Raider 💪
She was also Famke Janssen's stunt double in the Bond film Goldeneye. She appeared in 3 shots; Xenia's high kick and Bond throwing her over his head in the spa fight scene and the front shot of her being launched up to the tree during her death scene
@@KT926 You've ruined a perfectly good wank.
@@ljgarrison6910 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think she’s the godmother to one of the Jolie/Pitt kids too 🤓
@@KT926 1
Damn I remember Saturday night were the best at that time on itv I think blind date would come on after I can’t remember 🤨
Eunice Huthart was a legend.
I normally cheer for any contender in yellow. But Eunice was the best contender ever.
Say what you want about Shadow, he was one of the best in it.
Eunice's dad is a absolute legend of a supporter lol
They looked so old to me when I watched it as a young lad!
Eunice is actually the most successful contestant to achieve success after the show. She was Famke Janssrns stunt double for Goldeneye. She has been Angelina Jolies stunt double on s number of films. She us also godmother to one if Angelina Jolles kids
woah congrats to her!
After 30 years eunice is still the best contender that the gladiators have faced.
And then she became a Gladiator
@chrismerton9918 Apparently she also started working as a stuntwoman in a few films not too long after competing in the first "International Gladiators".
Footage from this final was used on Today Tonight in Australia to promote the Australian series - including footage of Sam being sent to hospital.
Loved loved loved gladiators it was incredible
I keep hearing they're bringing Gladiators back! I hope so. They need to keep the fun/playful yet slightly grand elements from it with focus on good sportsmanship. They also need to keep the theme song! Just arrange it with a high quality orchestra and use modern guitar tones, percussion and production. Maybe good powerful female vocals would work better too.
I’ll give you some advice, I signed up so we’ll wait and see.
the new gladiators are the same as the OG gladiators
Ooh, that injury in Powerball looked nasty!
Which is why the Gladiators aren't allowed to attack the neck or head!
Great series. My MVP award for the gladiators this series go to:
Nightshade - probably protected the most points overall both male and female.
Agreed, while Jet and Lightning get the headlines for being gorgeous, athletic and amazing on the rings, it's Nightshade who was the best all-rounder. Hunter was for the men, although the show was never the same after Shadow left imo.
yep nightshade was amazing!
so good to see wolf, the cleanest, fairest gladiator, finally get the refs approval. He was constantly picked on 😂
Poor Sam, Having worked so hard to get to the Grand Final, It's a bad finish for him.
Was he alright? Their was no update
@@festavisionat the end of the show it says he’s been released from hospital and is back in his hotel room 👌🏻
Shadow was pretty much in tears at that tackle. Just goes to show that under that exterior, (and 'roid use), he's only human and a decent one at that.
In all his post-game interviews I've seen on YT, Shadow always comes across very well.
Good guy.
His life story is pretty sad. Gladiators seems to be the only good thing that happened for him
*2 years later* I think I'm gonna take the above comment back due to Shadow's recent jail sentence.
Fun fact: after this, Eunice went on to do stunts in TV and film, and was a stunt double for Angelina Jolie in several films, including Tomb Raider and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
While that is true her first big gig was in 1995 on James Bond Goldeneye. She was also stuntwoman on Titanic before moving on to Tomb Raider and Mr and Mrs Smith
When TV was still great
Eunice Huthart has had an amazing career in Hollywood stuntwork since Gladiators!
I'm sure I read somewhere that she was actually offered a job as a Gladiator.
@@richallenxbox1976 Eunice was a Gladiator called Blaze in the live shows, she hung up the costume as she wanted to be a contestant on International Gladiators.
Jet & Lightning the dream team as always.
I believe Eunice Huthart was the only female champion to choose the GLADI 2 car (though she ended up having to sell it because she couldn't afford the insurance), while the other lady champions chose the GLADI 1 car. That image of Eunice jumping onto the red Jeep is still one of the most iconic moments of the entire series.
I heard that story about the red Jeep.
They didn't roll the credits at the end, after the 4th series I noticed it became a tradition to roll the credits across during the series highlights rather than flash like they usually did although they first rolled the credits in the 1993 2nd semi final.
Eunice huthart is a hollywood elitist lol. Wasnt even that good a contender,, stick her in 95 onwards without the headstarts over the glads and shed be knocked in the heats imo. For some reason they seemed to favour her at the time and it became obvious when shewas then in with the hollywood crowd.
I think Sam made the incident look worse than what it was because of his almost desperation to get Wolf disqualified so he’d get 10 points. He knew he was too far behind, and, I say this as the internationals was film straight after and Sam was back the next night all fine.
First time watching did anyone anticipate Wolf calling in the ref and the ref actually AGREEING with the complaint?
Holy moly I didn’t remember how close Eunice was to losing that. 😬
I have to admit, I was about 3 when this happened-but I always admired Jet. I have seen her act in countless pantos at Grimsby Auditorium-she was always incredible!
Lightning so good at Hang Tough. Night Shade too good at Duel. For once Wolf had a valid claim and actually won his appeal. Great character he was. This show was soooo good and I hope they bring it back.
Lightning was good at hang tough but nothing beat watching Jet ride an opponent like a rampant bunny until they went tumbling to the floor together.
@@TheVanillatech Pervert.
Cobra too, the king of the rings I believe they called him. Jet was amazing on the wall too.
@@Scallion_D Weirdo.

Wish i could go bk to this year /my mum my dad bowlease gardens /my nanna my grandad my bros ryan an jamie //my old teacher mrs sampey /sycamore school /happy times
MICKEY WALKEY me too bro the good old days
RIP John Anderson (1931-2024)
Eunice is crying! She should be proud of herself. She WON the 1994 Gladiators Championship.
She was crying because she was happy that she won
Eunice was the best female champion, Phil Norman from series two was the best male champ.
I think both Paul & Phil were both good male champions
Phil Norman teaches one of my friends martial arts now. He looks exactly the same but with shorter hair
In an alternate universe somewhere Kerryn made it up the travelator, won the jeep, became a Gladiator, a Hollywood stuntwoman and bezzie mates with Angelina Jolie...
Sliding Doors and all that.
so close, she could have made it up the travelator im sure
they didn't mention the fact that the winners also would earn the right to represent Britain in "International Gladiators"
40:42 Phil Campbell maintains his 0% record on duel.
He was proud of that record.
Gladiators was a great show. I was 10 when Series 3 was broadcast in the UK.
I was 5 years old in 1994
@@sampugh5674 Same!
I was 3 years old.
Paul field!!!!! I remember this so well!!!! I loved that guy
There was a lot of reckless play in Powerball by the Male Gladiators!!!
Reckless? ...you mean Competitive 😉
Wolf seemed legitimately angry about Sam trying to get him DQ'd on Pyramid. Sam was getting a bit desperate and may have been pissed about Wolf beating him up with the pads earlier on Gauntlet.
Sam would not hav made it up the pryamid anyway
I hope the new series captures some of the spirit the Sky revival couldn't quite. This show was something amazing, especially if like myself you grew up with it. I remember after having a bath sitting in the living room in a dressing gown and pyjamas watching the show.
So sad what happened to Sam. Shadow seemed to like him too as he congratulated him after a previous eliminator. Seems like the gladiators wanted to impress their American visitors or something, the powerball tackles were ferocious
10:40 Hawk, Jazz, Ice and Nitro!
Iconic quote 21:13
Congratulations to Eunice and Paul for winning.
thanks !!!
Again thank you very much for putting these up. I haven't watched this season since it originally aired in 1994 - back when I was a wee lad. Many years later I still find the 94 and 95 season most enjoyable to watch!!! :D
Hopefully challenge will show IG2 and Ashes :-)
I also actually remember as a kid being in the audience of one of the gladiators episodes, I still have the t shirt, foam hand, programs (which are signed by some gladiators) great day that was for me
I know Eunice Huthart is star of the 1995 James Bond film "GoldenEye"
I think that if she hadn't won the series, she probably wouldn't have been Famke Janssen's stunt double in that film
I wonder if Paul Field had toothache after that tackle from Warrior, as after recording he had to have the root of that tooth extracted!
Awooogaaa love it all
THE MIGHTY WARRIOR ALMOST DECAPITATED PAUL FIELD! AWFUL!!
Co-host Ulrika Jonsson would give birth to her 👶 shortly after Series 3 of Gladiators 🇬🇧.
My old teacher at sycamore school mrs sampey 😘ahh the memories
I'm sure people were thinking of to make Sam lost for words but the accident on Power-Ball was certainly not what they had in mind.
No one deserves to be injured in the finale rather try fighting rather than not try at all. Paul would have won anyway.
Going to the NEC in September. Wonder if the set is still there in 2019. Use to always watch this show. Wolfman was funny. And that hot bird lightning was a babe.
It won't be there because it's a different venue. Gladiators was filmed at the NIA now known as the Barclays Arena. Regardless I think all the old stuff has been recycled now.
3:07 You know Eunice was a true Liverpudlian when she was married to someone with an Ian Rush moustache.
STEJTHEGREATEST Eunice looks like she’d beat the shit out of her husband.
This marks the first time the Boys' Gauntlet is different--with Cobra, and later Wolf, in the second zone, and Saracen taking Shadow's place at the end.
Shocked I didn't see a couple of yellow or red cards in the mens' powerball..that was tough to even just watch!! ouch!!
If I were John Anderson, I would've red carded Shadow. Even if it wasn't a willful act, that's still grounds for ejection.
I would've also Red Carded WARRIOR for what he did to Paul Field
@@gladfan1989 Shadow did not deserve a red or yellow card because his hit to Sam was accidental, Warrior should have gotten a red card though
13:28 uh oh the wolf man
Omg those head tackles though.....
Damn, Nightshade was as unbeatable as I remember
She was hard to beat for sure after all she was a top olympic heptathlete so in most events it must have been pretty easy for her going up against amateur part timers. In 1995 she picked up a bad virus and was never the same and in series 5 she lost almost all her events even getting knocked off her platform in Duel.
For a million reasons, this was so entertaining. The Sam Chronicles have me in stitches 😂😂 Sayy hooeoooo 🥊🥊 Goodnight our kid 😵😵😅🙈
what a guy
That was a out of control moment in the men's Powerball. I was wondering why John Anderson did not intervene on this like in the later years on high tackles?
Nostalgia
One of the few Gladiator final's I can't really complain about the winners as both deserved to win their respective finals, Eunice, one of the best female contestants they've ever had on the show and one of the biggest characters, she reappeared quite a lot after this on Gladiator specials and as a coach in season 5 and went on to get stunt work in film I believe. She was head and shoulders above any other woman during this season.
With the male side, sad to see Sam go out like that (poor guy had three injuries in each round) and was a bit of a character and I felt bad for the guy replacing him as he didn't want to be there, and overall Paul was the best out of the Men's side and deserved it overall, can't complain. Overall probably my favourite season of Gladiators overall 9/10
this show was a apex of fun
Absolutely loved this I had the biggest crush on trojan
Same here
Eunice was almost the perfect contender, plus she was gorgeous, and hot!
Gorgeous? Lol what vid did you watch.
@@Scallion_D She has a little bit of a tomboy cuteness thing going on.
this is fantastic... they should bring this back...
They did and completely MURDERED it
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Yeah we should pretend it didn't happen - AWFUL!
@@Hannig yep
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 I auditioned in Swansea for the reboot, but the competition was so fierce and the days of just needing to row 500m, run a little bit and do some press-ups were nowhere to be seen.
John Anderson led the auditions, which took place in a sports hall. I actually started very well, I was one of the fastest on a run, did well in some throwing things etc, but I hate going on my head and they made us do forward & backward rolls for ages, which I was very slow at.
Felt like a weird reason not to make the cut, can't think of any events that need you to do loads of forward rolls.
Anyway, I was surrounded by pro rugby players, there was a kick-boxing champion and pro athletes. One guy ran up a wall and flipped off it at the end of our run... It was at that point I knew I'd need a miracle to get through.
Also, I'm 5'6, but was incredibly strong as training all the time and very fast, but I notice no male contenders in the '94 series seem to be that short, I think Sam was 5'8, and then generally 5'11 to 6'2.
Females 5'6 to 5'8, with the tallest around 5'10 and shortest I think 5'3... If only I'd been a woman 😉
@@BroskiRIP wow a guy ran up then flipped off a wall how cool is that
42:18 The Most Great But Best Eliminator
Oh Eunice trying to impersonate Ulrika at the beginning, spare my aching ribs HAHAHAHA!!!
Was it Hunter's baby?
International series Paul field vs Wesley two scoops berry the ultimate constest
10:40; A little note about the American Gladiators that we see throughout the night.
Hawk (RIP) and Jazz both debuted in the previous season, and this was their second year with the American Gladiator team.
Ice debuted back in the American version's second season, and this was her fourth year with the show (she was absent from the series' fourth season due to a contract dispute).
Nitro was one of the original American Gladiators, initially leaving the show after season three due to a contract dispute (some of the Gladiators wanted a share of the merchandising revenue, which the producers refused, so they left), but he came back for the show's sixth season in an attempt to reverse declining ratings on the condition that he be an announcer for what ended up being the show's final year.
If you're not a fan of American Gladiators, here's a history lesson:
The original, but never-aired, 👩✈️ of American Gladiators was taped with former Minnesota Vikings QB and Pro 🏈 Hall of Famer (not to mention co-host of That's Incredible and a successful infomercial host) Fran Tarkenton and former Chicago 🐻 Tim Wrightman as hosts, and future TPIR model Annette Marroquin (also best-known as Jungle Woman on the original G.L.O.W. 📺 series and for being a cheerleader of the L.A./Oakland Raiders for 7 years and for being 😊 friends with Lisa "Ivory" Moretti, also a G.L.O.W. alum who later joined WWE in 1999 at the age of 37) as ☝️ of the 👩✈️'s Gladiators. The show made its official debut in weekly first-run syndication on September 9, 1989 with another Pro 🏈 Hall of Famer Joe Theismann and former New York Jets player and former NBC Sports commentator Mike Adamle (who later had an ill-fated 🏃 with WWE and later became sports director at WMAQ-TV in Chicago) as hosts for the first half, but by 1990, Adamle was promoted to main host shortly after the show became popular, and remained there for the rest of its 🏃, joined by co-hosts such as the late Todd Christensen, Larry Csonka, Lisa Malosky, John Fashanu, Daniel Lee "Nitro" Clark, Ulrika Jonsson and Kimberley Joseph. The first two seasons of the show were taped at Universal Studios Hollywood, with the remainder of its 🏃 being taped at the CBS Studio Center and the most memorable theme song was composed by Academy 🥇 winner Bill Conti.
Nitro did come back as consultant for the 2008 revival of American Gladiators on NBC
@@danalong1237 I live in the USA & even though I liked the American Gladiators shows, I think the UK version was better
If anybody will have noticed that there were contenders from the 1994 Series who had been supporting their colleagues in the audience.
Who I can see are Mark Skipper, Nikki Wyatt, Rachel Culwick, Dean Pollen, Jo Banton, Lorraine Stanley, Lee Blackledge, Andy Riddoch, Matt Beeke at the top and from the right, Ken George with his wife, Donna.
Any idea if Pauline Shirt, the girl who hung tough for 40 seconds around 1998, has any online presence? Would love to see what she's up to. She broke two vertebrae while being tugged and falling.
Watching this in 2021 and knowing Shadow was addicted to crack/cocaine/heroin and Cobra was drunk during recordings for the first 3 series makes me sad... and watching Warrior makes me angry, but I always thought he was a wanker
were the gladiators actually allowed to go on air drunk?? did they get away with that?? i thought that would affect their skill in the games?? 🤷♂️
@@ewanellis2176 Cobra confirmed it in interviews years later. They just told him to tone it down when it got bad. The 90's were a different time 🤷🏻♀️
@@MissAmyNic fair enough!!
@@MissAmyNicI didn't know he was drunk during these shows. I wonder why Cobra looks so down and depressed during his interview I've seen recently. He acts like a different person now. Not very upbeat like he use to be.
Cobra was misquoted in the paper article. He was only drunk during some of series 3 where he missed alot of shows, as he broke his leg during the 1994 Wembley live shows and was not on top form. He gained weight due to his leg in plaster pior to filming and was unable to do his regular fitness training.
Backstage hospitality the area was getting more and more lavish each year and there was lots of alcoholic beverages. It was only when he was being harnessed up for The Wall and during a game of swingshot he released how unintentionally pissed he was. He was back to top form for series 4 and had some very impressive wins on The Wall and Hangtough.
24:11 "You were right!"

4:18 Kerryn was like, "I've just come to have a good time, because I'm against Eunice, you know????"
Nice
Eunice would be called the ultimate champion until Kerryn beats her in the Ashes.
Do u have a link for this please?
Eunice. The greatest Gladiator competitor and Liverpool's greatest export!
After The Beatles!
@@nicoladale1668 and Brookside
Nah, OMD are the best to come out of Liverpool. Still selling out a tour 42 years after their first single
shadow looks like hes feeling guilty unintentional obviously
I don't blame him for that. He didn't do it on purpose. Plus didn't shadow personally say he was rooting for Sam?
Shadows tackle looked like an accident, warriors looked like he was trying to hurt them.
I wonder if Shadow was badly affected by what happened. That could explain his descent into addiction.
WARRIOR really should've been RED CARDED during Powerball & why he was allowed to play DUEL after that I'll never know.
@@davidfearis7335 Mad innit. That ref was honestly shit.
Just noticed Nightshade's calves were as big as her thighs (if not bigger), no wonder she was so good at Duel.
Love me some Nightshade!
She was at my school leaving ceremony in 96 😂 I don’t think gladiators was on anymore at that point
@@jblack5323gladiators ended 2000
Sam got clotheslined by a gladiator in Powerball. Thats an illegal move. At least in American Gladiators it was.
Tower got yellow carded by John Forsythe in a quarter final for that. Mike Whitney was sick that time
The only time that Pursuit is played in a final.
