Hit 1990s show Gladiators returned to British TV screens on Saturday, 24 years after its last series. And a whopping 6.4million people came out in force to watch the BBC reboot.
The popular game show, which was originally broadcast on ITV from 1992 to 2000, sees contestants battle highly trained athletes called 'gladiators' in gruelling physical challenges. According to BBC ratings, an average audience of 6million, with a peak of 6.4million, tuned in to see how the contenders fared against the new superhuman Gladiators - Fury, Apollo, Fire, Legend, Dynamite, Giant, Sabre, Steel, Electro, Phantom, Athena, Nitro, Diamond and Viper. The first of the 11-episodes found viewers take a trip down memory lane, with some getting very nostalgic, calling for other popular shows to come back, including Blind Date and Noel's House Party.
