MY CHILDHOOD. i always vowed to audition and get on this but it finished before i turned 18. :/ this show is one of the many reasons that i'm proud to be from birmingham. :)
Mai Va Lee no this is the UK version of gladiators back in the 90s. The only versions of gladiators that are still going on now is the Swedish version and the Finnish version. (I think)
One little thing that made me chuckle a bit. About 03:28, Fashanu asks the contender what she does for a living. She answers she's a housewife and a mum. Then, sticking to the pre-scripted questions, he asks "Any children?"
The reboot would have been much more successful if they had stuck to the original format, without all this health and safety crap. This show was all about Wolf and Lightning
+Kelly Wilson I thought another issue was the fact that it looked like an olympic training centre, it didn't have that arena feel to it, but I agree for some reason hang tough and Duel for instance seemed much better with crash mats instead of swimming pools but if people got hurt what could they do
saturday night memories as a little boy watching this saturdays are just not the same anymore the no factor and britains got talent can suck on this they have got nothing on any of the grate saturday programes we had im glad to be a 90's kid!!
I would like two see more other episodes of the 1996 series please, I liked this series it was good. The Gladiators series were really good from series 2 1993- 1996 series 5.
I LOVE LIGHTNING :)...even when she makes mistakes looks back to the camera and makes a funny face Love love love the Queen of Hang Tough ;)! My Fave :~D
i have to honestly say that i see why the UK version was so popular of all of the Glads...I dont think having the soon to be legendary producer Nigel Lythgoe on staff hurts either
the gladiators series 5 1996 the challenge was shown in 2003,2004,2008,2009,2010 and 2011 but ages 7,8,12,13,14and15 but shown on weekends and in 2010-2011 weekdays.
@@1-Six-dee ty for reply hope it gets put up on a place i can at least watch heck if it dose well maby uk will bring ours back doupt it with our health and safty laws
was on a nostalgia trip and searched for the american gladiators, a few clicks and found this as i had no idea there was a UK version. i find the uk version much better.and of course jet.end of story
So we get to see Falcon and that other lass in bikinis, but Panther is in a loose tank top and long shorts? It's true what they say, life really isn't fair.
+Rikairiify Isn't it like $2000 in 1996 money? Money was worth a bit more then... as evidenced by the rising price of bread, gas, milk, etc... so yeah you'd have to factor that in. Also what the other dude said too: if you won you know you actually earned not only the money, but the pride and real fame/honor of accomplishing something difficult.
I think its more than someone deserves just to go on TV and have fun. Most people don't make £2k for a months work and have to pay for their own holiday.
So wait... both the winners adn the runners up get 1k pounds... with the winners getting a car and the runners up getting a VACATION... and all expense paid vacation.... So... ummm I'd Rather lose all told
Nostalgia overload! Remember being 6 or 7 years old watching this every saturday night
I do indeer Declan, wonderful memories. I miss the 90's.
MY CHILDHOOD. i always vowed to audition and get on this but it finished before i turned 18. :/ this show is one of the many reasons that i'm proud to be from birmingham. :)
this is sooo 90's i love it since i'm a late 90's early 00's baby
The best game show when i was a little kid
omg
Mai Va Lee

Best game show of 90s
Brilliant quality! Thanks for the upload 😊
Cheers for this! WIsh there were more full episodes online, can't even torrent them

I got a kick out of that, too. Was wondering if anyone else picked that up. Like, "Didn't I say I was a mum?? Of COURSE I have kids!!"
Team Coach was Phil Norman? Wow.
Thanks for uploading! :)
iamyiplay Eunice was as well
@@kaitlinbilous4605 in the 1996 series it was split in regions North V South. Eunice was the northern coach and Phil was the southern coach
"The National Indoor Arena here in Birmingham." Ah memories!
Thanks for this!
thanks for uploading a full episode. x
I use to watch this every Saturday night with my late Nan. Was always a great show. And I liked John Anderson his ready voice.
The Gladiators are so nice in this version.
This show is awesome.
Me, my sister and my dad would all have chippy tea watching this, part of our family night!! Best show on TV at the time. (I was only 10)
Hi mate that's the same as my family brilliant memories
When I was a kid every Saturday itv1 5pm this was on never missed anything episode man I missed this show
The reboot would have been much more successful if they had stuck to the original format, without all this health and safety crap.

+Kelly Wilson I thought another issue was the fact that it looked like an olympic training centre, it didn't have that arena feel to it, but I agree for some reason hang tough and Duel for instance seemed much better with crash mats instead of swimming pools but if people got hurt what could they do
+Kelly Wilson I agree but it would have been very hard to live up to the original (uk) gladiators
Kelly Wilson completely agree! All the swimming pools were ridiculous!
Lightning so foxy
@@tufty1990 Honestly too? I think crash mats woulda been SAFER, what if someone drowned in the pool or was otherwise hurt by a fall into it?
"I'm a house wife and mother"
"So, any children?"
Really john? She just fucking told you she was a mother!
saturday night memories as a little boy watching this saturdays are just not the same anymore the no factor and britains got talent can suck on this they have got nothing on any of the grate saturday programes we had im glad to be a 90's kid!!
Wolf enjoying that Hang Tough victory waaaay too much!
i didnt watch much of the 96 season back then so thanks! I thought it was weird
I would like two see more other episodes of the 1996 series please, I liked this series it was good. The Gladiators series were really good from series 2 1993- 1996 series 5.
The theme song is Catchy and I'm 12 turning 13 and I find it catchy
The computers in Paul Dunkley's home video are so '90s!!
Gah-Kai Leung no shit! Cause this was filmed in the 90s!!!! Wooowww
Gah-Kai Leung of course the computers are 90s this was in 1996
Gah-Kai Leung this was gladiators UK series 5 1996
Cool man! brings back fun memories when I was in elementary school!
classic, complete 90s fantastic tv, oh the memorys....
Cannot believe this was over 2 years ago!
I LOVE LIGHTNING :)...even when she makes mistakes looks back to the camera and makes a funny face Love love love the Queen of Hang Tough ;)! My Fave :~D
Jet and Lightning easily the best! Missed Jet on Hang Tough when she had to leave ;~(
Supershow
Back when TV was good, 84' baby here.
As an American I've been watching both the US reruns on Pluto and the UK reruns here on YT.
You guys do it better, just sayin.
i remember it was soooooo crowded aswell
Man, it's amazing to see this show fill an arena. The US version was just on a normal TV stage...
Wtf those Atlas fog machine things are so hard to trigger?!
Is the National Indoor Arena still in use?
i have to honestly say that i see why the UK version was so popular of all of the Glads...I dont think having the soon to be legendary producer Nigel Lythgoe on staff hurts either
Colin’s hang tough was amazing! 160lbs of weight on your body is really heavy
106kg is around 240lbs
I was a teenager when it started feeling so old
Same here as I was 11 years old
Wow. Falcon's mullet. Is that awesome or is that awesome?
John never cared what anyone was saying.
I kind of fancy Paul Dunkley for some reason.
Can upload more episodes of gladiators plz from 1996 plz
Great memories - Lightning was so hot! 😍
i been to gladiators twice and met wolf
Nice 😍😍😍😍
oh was that Celia who was briefly in Ashes 2?
arrrr i miss jet :/
Is it just me, or does the holiday sound much more enticing than the 1st place prize?
I'd just as soon sell the big dumb car to finance a holiday!
It sort of does, doesn't it!
Jetstream Artorias exactly what I was thinking!
the gladiators series 5 1996 the challenge was shown in 2003,2004,2008,2009,2010 and 2011 but ages 7,8,12,13,14and15 but shown on weekends and in 2010-2011 weekdays.
jet left before the 96 series she hurt her neck at wemblru
Paul dunkley is my dad
Lucas Dunkley, how awesome is that?
Do u think this new show coming out is based or affiliated with thie original from the 80's?
wats its name
@@orochimaru0523 seems like it was American gladiators
@@1-Six-dee ty for reply hope it gets put up on a place i can at least watch
heck if it dose well maby uk will bring ours back doupt it with our health and safty laws
@FridaLaReina
im not 100% sure about that but now he is the Executive producer of SYTYCD USA and American idol
8:11 -8:17 Tardis Reference, awesome
The narrators jokes get worse 😂
RIP Bernadette Hunt aka Falcon
Did Ulrika make her trousers out of duct tape?!
I believe that was called American Gladiators.
Shadow not in this intro for some reason? He was the master of Duel and looked absolutely terrifying to face.
Stephen Frame he was sacked before Season 4 for steroid use
Wolf is finally recognised as the victim he always was! I hope the viewers did complain at his unjust treatment as he asked! 😂
I think the crowds are way more into UK Gladiators than its American counterpart.
Who's the gladiator laser never heard of her
Think she was a reserve gladiator to replace Jet when she went out with an injury..she was South African gladiator called Sheena as well..
The illuminati G lol
Better when it's a knickers victory
The 90's, i'll make the most usual comment... NO CELL PHONES!!
They are called mobile phone.
was on a nostalgia trip and searched for the american gladiators, a few clicks and found this as i had no idea there was a UK version. i find the uk version much better.and of course jet.end of story
wtf do they have to do to activate a goal in the atlaspheres lmao
hello Colin.
They could've done another International Gladiators season.
Ulrika's trousers are shocking!
I feel really bad for Paul in this one. 0 points all around :(
their camp is in mauritus
LOL, Silly Fash, course she's got kids, but lets be honest... you don't fuck with the Fash!
17:38 looks like a gladiator style discharge for the Sargent.
This was a time when Saturday night TV was worth watching.
Baywatch, Gladiators and Blind Date
Colin treasure is my boxing coach
Colin = Two Scoops UK
Wait, is this British? Where's the American one?
So we get to see Falcon and that other lass in bikinis, but Panther is in a loose tank top and long shorts? It's true what they say, life really isn't fair.
I'm trying to wonder whether the male contenders were that bad or the Glads were that good on this day.
Winners get £2k in prize money and a holiday! If I was a contender, I'd just go "fuck it" and quit. You can win more on quiz shows.
+Rikairiify true but imo if you won gladiators you'd feel you earned it more then if you won a quiz show
+Rikairiify Isn't it like $2000 in 1996 money? Money was worth a bit more then... as evidenced by the rising price of bread, gas, milk, etc... so yeah you'd have to factor that in.

2k in 96 is about 40 50 k these days
14:43 Saracen looked like he was swearing
Black guy playing bingo and and a gladiator named crumpet. This is definitely not American.
love that gringe on wolfey
Thought it went off the air in the late 80s
48:52- Shot down!
14:02
So wait... both the winners adn the runners up get 1k pounds... with the winners getting a car and the runners up getting a VACATION... and all expense paid vacation.... So... ummm I'd Rather lose all told
This was the 💩 ☺️
Horrid Listening skills.
