ECCOnoob Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, HeHasRisen said: A few things there though. - Anneka is 30 years older, this will be a different set of Gladiators so its not the same cast - Channel 5 foolish put Challenge Anneka up against the juggernaut of the BBC and ITV Saturday night schedule in spring, which was always going to end in tears. This looks to be a BBC programme. - At 90 mins long, Challenge Anneka drags on far too much, hopefully this new gladiators reboot wont be that long per episode. What I will say though is that Sky brought Gladiators back about 10 years ago and it was utter rubbish, but they didnt film that in a big arena like with this one. Agree. To be honest, it wouldn't really matter what time the series got aired, channel 5 will always lag behind majorly against its two main rivals. Also, there is limited scope with the nostalgia fest. Whilst I like her, fact is that many younger people haven't got a clue who she is and if they did, they certainly have no recollection of the original 1990 series so have absolutely no context. You can see the signs in the series being broadcast..... Firstly, she now has a visible team of producers and assistants which ruins some of the dynamic...... Even though we all knew. When she calls a company they used to be excited at the prospect of speaking to "TVs Anneka Rice" of the jumpsuit and pert backside fame. They were more than willing to give away their stuff for a free plug on the national BBC with millions of viewers. Now, to many of those companies and suppliers, it's just some minor famous woman on some unheard and unwatched TV show asking for things. The final nail in the coffin is its just not cool anymore. This sort of philanthropy and charitable aim is more than covered by the vloggers and YouTube generation. Its done much more snappier and visually appealing than Anneka driving around in her cartoonish buggy with her sound man in vision. As shown by the fact that such videos and ticktoks get clicks and viewership that the television networks could only dream of. Like you, I suspect it will be the same with a new new tried again and again reboot upon reboot of Gladiators. I really do think it was of its time and has been replaced by the less gimmicky accessible assault course shows like Ninja Warrior.

Jack Grey Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm not looking forward to seeing the trans 'woman' beat the living s**t out of the other women athletes I'll definitely watch though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the blokes were roided out monsters, and you just can go giving names like Shadow and Diesel to a big black fella anymore.

Same double standards that say a white man can't say the N-word because it'll be deemed racist but a black man can scream it from the rooftops, record it in a "song" and it's not racist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
