00:00 Henry Liston here reporting once again for the Lancashire Evening Post and today we're going to be finding out what the people of Lancashire
00:07 Think about cult classic TV program that is back on the telly
00:12 Gladiators do people love it do people loathe it do people think they could take on a gladiator? Well, we'll find out today
00:19 Right so we're in market the flag market in Preston and we are asking people about gladiators
00:29 It's back on the BBC. It's a big cult show. Are you a fan?
00:33 Do you know the premise of the show
00:42 Okay, so basically people take on these gladiators normal everyday people take on these beasts in different challenges
00:50 So they're like proper hench muscly people. Do you think you could take them on?
00:57 Yeah, it's um, it's Bradley Walsh and his son hosting without temp doing
01:01 Yeah, father and son duo
01:07 So there's a new show back on the BBC it's not really new it's been on before it's called gladiators. Have you ever seen it?
01:15 Okay, what do you know about it
01:26 Yeah, there's a lot of whacking going on and so normal everyday people take on these gladiators
01:31 They're proper beast people proper muscly. Do you think you could take them on?
01:35 So have you been watching the new gladiator
01:45 What do you think of them bringing gladiator back
01:52 I think it's not a bad idea. I think there's worse shows to bring back. It was entertaining back in the day
01:59 What do you think of them bringing old shows back in general do you think it's a good thing or do you think they should
02:06 Come up with new ideas
02:08 I think it's fine because it's easy to say come up with new ideas but then if a lot of the new ideas aren't very good then there's no point
02:16 I mean a lot of the old shows are trying to be trusted. It's not like they're milking
02:20 I think it's been enough time to bring it back where it's not being milked anymore
02:24 Do you think you could take on a gladiator and beat them?
02:27 No chance, not a chance
02:29 Maybe with some training
02:31 Right gladiators is back on the TV for the first time since the 90s I think
02:37 So gladiators is normal everyday people take on these big muscly people basically
02:43 Are you a fan?
02:49 Have you watched the new one? No
02:51 You've never seen it?
02:54 No, no, do you think you could take on a gladiator if push came to shove?
02:59 I would reckon the tequila shots I'd have done
03:01 You would not have
03:03 I would not want out
03:05 Give me a glass of Adelphi wine
03:07 You would take them down
