Australian Gladiators 1995 Pilot

[@juliaw9835]

This is the best episode of them all. So much weirdness, it feels like the Full Frontal sketch! Hosts misnaming Delta and Taipan and their reactions, Kimberley sticking a mic under Blade's nose after a non-sequiteur and Blade going, "RAAH"... I also love the male challengers looking just like blokes off the street. Like the producers saw them hanging out outside the Brisbane Entertainment Centre having a smoke and went "hey guys wanna be on a tv show"?

Very interesting, thanks! The male host, Aaron Pederson, is much more relaxed and effective here than with a live audience.

An interesting peek behind the curtain there.

No Commentator, It's a quiet heat tonight. All the Challengers are introduced so fast.

They used the American Gladiators music for the events

1:13 Kimberley’s bangs have left the chat

16:02 you can hear Fury asking the contestant if she’s alright after bumping into her

I might be wrong, but the "Jane" that ran the Eliminator looks like future champion Bernie Withers. Also, that was quite a bad landing by "Lisa" at 40:28.

You're more than likely to be right about the blue challenger running in the Eliminator being Bernie Withers. Interestingly, the red challenger running the Eliminator (they have on the occasions mixed up the names) was Bernie's trainer (who appeared at the end of Series 1 Semi Final 2), who funnily enough, was named Lisa. Another interesting thing about this episode is that the blue female challenger playing Wall, Hang Tough and Duel is Heather Marychurch, who appeared in Series 1 Heat 1, who lost to Gina Good.

This is a very slow credit roll XD
