I feel like most Saturday TV from my childhood wouldn’t hold up, but in my mind at least Gladiators was the exception! Really hope they don’t ruin it.

(17:50, BBC1 for the unaware)

    Ha, I enjoyed that. Trashy TV of the most enjoyable kind but good clean fun as well. Although I have to agree with whoever it was on Mastodon said that it looked like every round was designed to cater to a very specific kink or fetish!

            We fell in with a new group of friends over the last few years, the type of friends that have house parties for events. We’ve introduced them to the wonders of Eurovision, and it’s now one of the events that warrants a house party.

            I think this year we’re telling one of the families that it’s fancy dress, and they have to come as their pick from last year, but nobody else is dressing up and everybody else is in on the joke. It’s gonna be a hoot. Can’t wait.

                Nah that would still be a hoot. It’s my house so I’d be able to whip something together I’m sure

                  Worst case scenario you can make an emergency toga by tying together some of the collection of giant flags you have from countries you supported in previous years.

                  Source: have done this.

    I must be one of the few who hated it when it was on during the 90’s. I know it was insanely popular but I never got why.

      It’s because you could shout “GLADIATORS! READY!” in your best scottish accent and then wallop your brother with a cushion until either one of you got injured or a parent intervened.

      I think.
