Gladiators v The Apprentice

Haha - I’ve just read the funniest and most fab news… Sky One is set to resurrect that staple of 90’s saturday night entertainment - Gladiators!

They’ve got a new set of ‘glads’ - well I guess they’d have to really… some of them would be well past their duelling best by now! - and if you read Sky’s hype its gonna be BIG! The best bit though is that the annoyingness that was John (AWOOGA) Fashanu will NOT be reprising his presenting role (thank heavens for small mercies!)

I’m thinking though that maybe the beeb and Sky are missing a trick here… they should combine elements of BBCs The Apprentice with the more - shall we say ‘combatative’ (is that even a word) - sections of Gladiators… who wouldn’t just love to see the awful Jenny having to go up against a gladiator with a pugel stick? Already the viciousness of her attacks on other contestants certainly have an element of ‘arena bloodshed’ to them!
