To Judy Simpson aka Nightshade, you are a great tae kwon do champion!

[@timewyrmrevelations7700]

It’s hard to believe that Eunice went from this to turning down being a gladiator and now a highly respected stunt woman even working on Star Wars.

[@SpecializedRider249]

She didn't turn it down. She became a Gladiator.

[@nicoladale1668]

Eunice's debut on Gladiators - she was the best contender ever

[@nicoladale1668]

Of the women I mean. If you add the men then Phil Norman, Mark Everitt and Dave Walters could give her serious competition.

[@soultiger9119]

Maybe, but did you know she was caught using baby oil on her legs which is illegal in gladiators

[@nicoladale1668]

@@soultiger9119 I don't think they caught her doing it or they would've DQ'd her but I do remember that she admitted it two years later.

[@soultiger9119]

@@nicoladale1668 oh yeah, forgot, lol, but if they had caught her, like u said instant disqualification, she was a brilliant competitor and all credit to her

[@paulouk83]

Judy Simpson aka nightshade was such a great athlete. Before Jessica ennis kat Johnson Thomas she held the British heptathlon record and she was a huge talent!

[@alexhawkey6017]

Lorraine was one of the most likeable contenders - very capable too. Wish we'd seen more of her TBH.

[@dingwei7]

28.23 - Listen to Cobra on this game 😂 he admitted he was drunk and making funny noises while playing. You can hear him!! Lmao

[@LeighJT]

Love Cobra!

[@UKenn78]

First time in the Atlasphere since his knee injury and he did that? Well done, Warrior.

[@davidfearis7335]

I was beginning to wonder where do we see Eunice in the domestic series of Gladiators and now I know the answer!

[@danielannett1019]

When I was a kid back in the 90's as soon As i heard that iconic theme I rushed downstairs to watch one of my faviorate t.v shows of all time

[@Soxaldinho]

34-37min Was there anything better on a Saturday night than watching Shadow batter the shit out of someone with a pugel stick?

[@RexBanner_]

Glad I'm not the only one who took sheer delight in this 😂😂 Shadow with the pugel stick was pure poetry. Incredible Gladiator!

[@RexBanner_]

36:25 My guilty pleasure on a Saturday night, watching Shadow pummel contenders in Duel. 😂😂🔥

[@darylcastillo1439]

From contender to champion to Gladiator to Hollywood stuntwoman, this is Eunice Huthart's origin story.

[@RoyStantz]

Eunice is one of the many Iconic Sequel Characters for British Gladiators.

[@rudysalasiii210]

Wolf was the best heel of the show

[@patcrites5274]

I would actually say he was a entertaing heel, but he was good Gladiator

[@nathanbyberg]

I loved the fact they played War, what is it good for, when Shadow won on Duel. That’s a good song!

[@chrisj8074]

I like the extra bit of chat at the bottom of the wall on this episode. Andy looked about ready to throw up!

[@davecommentator]

As said below - this episode was a seminal one as it saw the debut of the most successful Gladiators contender ever.

[@3275Dan]

Lightning soooo gorgeous, and she very good gladiator to :)

[@atifakhtar4944]

Eunice was my favourite

[@davemurray3203]

Eunice went on to become a gladiator. It's a shame they never did a recorded show with her

[@Lulabellexd]

It's a shame what happened to Shadow in his personal life. He was the best male gladiator imo

[@simisimisimi]

what happened to him 😢

[@Lulabellexd]

@@simisimisimi He got into drugs and blackmailed someone and went to prison

[@nicoladale1668]

Atlaspheres needed some new spheres. The old ones looked like they had taken some quite heavy knocks by the end.

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

“More hits than take that “ I died🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LeighJT]

Was just about to post! Hilarious.

[@Tubewings]

Skytrak also had a change for this new series. The start/finish portion is now chequered to make it easier for the viewing audience.

[@lloydnewman4158]

9:46 wolfs tantrum on skytrak 😂😂😂😂

[@gladfan1989]

Thus began Eunice's run to the IG title.

[@michaelvidal1971]

What Lee was saying at 9 mns reminded me of the collision in Australian Gladiators when Fury stopped in the cross section.

[@davidfearis7335]

Wolf kicking THE SKYTRAK at the end imagine if that caused the clips on his harness to break, he'd then crash 40 ft to the floor!!!

[@antster1983]

43:37 Lightning mentioning a game that hasn't aired yet...

[@Kat-mu8wq]

spoilers lightening.. spoilers..

[@dingwei7]

29.16 - you can hear Cobra 😂

[@visionist7]

Lmao!

[@neilrennie4677]

I liked nightshade but she wasn't in every episode 😢

[@benglasspool2166]

Anyone noticed that the cameramen film upwards whenever the hosts interview the gladiators to make them seem larger?

[@patcrites5274]

No

[@jackjackson3769]

Did you notice Lightning put on a different helmet to what she played with in Swingshot

[@daedralord1]

As a teen I loved jet. But as a man I think panther is absolutely gorgeous and she still is at 60

[@Kat-mu8wq]

That's good because Jet has just married a woman

[@nobodylikeskev]

Eunice looks like a young danny dyer

[@clarealdam6358]

Hahaha...

[@acesfn7316]

Eunice only came in Second In Australia but came in first elsewhere and became a gladiators coach

[@Costas22]

Not Lee's day. One of the many times this season that a contender had a massive lead on the Eliminator.

[@classicsportclassictiyl8547]

The Sole Man it just didn't happen for him Andy could afford the dodgy high hurdle his plan of being 10 points down going into the eliminator 5 second headstart well and truly went out of the window he dominated this heat

[@StFidjnr]

26:25 Des O'Connor once said just before we came onto air

[@bluesmobilehire4053]

Anyone got the full end song ? I had it on cd but lost it.

[@timewyrmrevelations7700]

It’s on I tunes.

More Gladiators gameshow on you tube please and when is gladiators gameshow back on challenge and I am missing this programme 😢

[@acta739]

Jet married 2 men and recently 1 woman .

I was 1.

[@danielledewitt1]

Think I was about 9 years old.

[@nathanbyberg]

War! What is it good for?!

[@BroskiRIP]

As Lee's son, I want to challenge Andy's son to a rematch in 2021. Dad's business was never the same after you beat him and he started drinking heavily, I blame you. I've been training for 10 years, since I watched this, to avenge this. Are you brave enough? Your Dad lost the audience in that first sentence about his dull job.

[@DARKDAVIDZ1]

Damn this takes me back. I was only about 3 years old when this was aired. I was so young but somehow I remembered watching this back when I was a kid. Ahh good times, also I'm sorry to hear what you've been though. Nearly 30 years ago now though. I actually can't remember what happened to this show. Did they axe it or something?

[@WinstonSmith685]

@@DARKDAVIDZ1 Yeah it ran for about 5 series. They did a few international specials and it was eventually axed to make way for Pop Idol or some other such shite. They did bring it back around 2009 on Sky One but it wasn't quite the same.

I will have you know they're very comfortable and easy to wear. Or perhaps he just didn't like the full suit outfit and decided a 2piece was better.
