UK Gladiators - Series 3 1994 - The Celebrity Challenge

[@AnthonyIanMallon]

I Absolutely Loved This Episode As A 10 Year Kid We Had It On VHS 📼 And Reminds Me Of Christmas 🎄 1994 Fantastic Year 🩵💖❤️

[@caffeinatedtrouble]

I really liked Mike on the International Gladiators shows, great presenter. Also great teamwork with John Sachs in the commentary box!

[@CarlAdams-m7k]

Panther's return after her scary fall at Tilt was a welcome return 33:49

[@AngelicaHuston]

Thank you so much for putting these on here, have loved watching them all again!

[@josephd.2725]

Such good memories! Can't believe it's been 25 years. Good old fashioned fun. Lightning and Ellery on the wall.. lol! I wouldn't mind some of that action, a-thank-you! Lighting is so funny, she's so well spoken like the prime minister lol. What a cutie. These days many would be offended by some of the banter that was going on. It was all in good fun, and all the athletes did really well. Great show!

[@anthonyhardy167]

Absolutely Loved This As A Kid 💪

Thanks for the content mate I loved the gladiators when I was a kid

Can't believe Wolf pulled down Barry's pants!

30 Years ago. Ulrika Johnson final presenting of Gladiators while on a Maternity Leave next week, Until she returns in a 4th Series of Gladiators 1995 next year.

[@MysteryManfrom79]

Scorpio really wanted to let Eddie know she had a fine pair at 21:26! The girls were SO flirty in this episode with the guys they were against!

[@Tubewings]

A lot of rule-bending on the Pursuit course. This definitely shows why they recoloured one of the lanes in future series, though I didn't like that they completely changed the order of the course in the process. We never did get that match between Fash and Derek Redmond. The following year had a Battle of the Champions featuring Australian, Ashes, and International champions competing against each other. The year after that had the only British gold medalists from the Atlanta Olympics, along with several other Olympians, and I think by that point, Redmond had left the show. Oh, and future Gladiator cameo at 7:33.

[@patcrites5274]

Yes there were a lot of rule bending in Pursuit, but since it was for charity I think John Anderson let the rules slide on this episode

[@StFidjnr]

11:25 glad shadow is wishing everyone a merry xmas and a happy new year

[@robertjamesplays9721]

Ive actually met Eddie Kidd total nice guy all round nice chap

[@lojosol]

Im glad Mike Adamlee was not forced to call this event Atlaspheres. Atlaspheres are what the contenders use. Altlasphere without the S at the end sounds better as the name of the event

[@patcrites5274]

I was actually glad Mike Admale was on the Celebrity show & was doing commentary with John Sachs

[@antster1983]

He also co-hosted _International Gladiators_ with Fash (Series 1) and then with Ullie and _Australian Gladiators_ host Kimberley Joseph (Series 2).

[@catlover47842]

that Eddie Kidd.... only 2 years later he had that stunt that left him paralysed :(

[@themoores9817]

Temporarily paralysed . He’s been walking again since 2011. He even walked the London marathon

[@Costas22]

Don't know how much his hamstring could have handled the entire competition, but if Derek gave it a shot as a contender, he could have been champion. He looked even better than Fash did the previous year.

[@josephd.2725]

Derek Redmond! Never forget how fast he went up that travelator! Never saw anyone else destroy the travelator like it wasn't even there. Would have been fantastic to see him go up against International champion Wesley Berry in the Eliminator! Derek could have taken Two Scoops at the end.

[@ashleywallace83]

pretty sure the travelator was turned down for this special.

[@josephd.2725]

@@ashleywallace83 I do believe you are right actually. When I watched the regular show again, featuring a final with Paul Field, it was cranked up to ying yang... even those top guys had to give it all they had!

Wolf man is a legend 🐺

[@c3po626]

I do have a question, what is the name of that song they always teased wolf with when he threw a tantrum?

[@Tubewings]

If you're talking about the one played here, it's called "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf", originally from the 1933 Disney cartoon "The Three Little Pigs".

[@StFidjnr]

but on this occasion the wolf kept all of his toys in the crib and for good reason

[@tourous4life]

Was that future Gladiator Amazon in the clip during Redmens stint on the Wall?

[@beltaaaa]

Yes. She is married to Derek Redmond. Sharon Davies

[@Artesian_mirage]

What a contest it would have been if 2 Scoops and Derek Redmond competed against each other. I think Redmond would have given Mr. Scoops a run for his money

Martin should not had been allowed thoes 10 points after Pursuit, it was unfair to the other guys who were caught. He was the one who went on the wrong wire bridge, causing the mix up and skipping majority of the hand ladder.

[@JackpotButtonLewis]

14:03 Oooh, look at that! It’s Wolf’s favourite song that they’re playing, much to the amusement of Hunter! LOL! 😃😂🤣🤣🤣 #WhosAfraidOfTheBigBadWolf 🐺

just shows how tough an event that pyramid is, even Martin Offiah was blown up after about 20 seconds trying to go up that.

[@davidfearis7335]

During Mark's Interview with Nightshade after Pursuit they edit out the last bit, I guess it was to avoid any racism if you watch the other version of the Celebrity Challenge.

[@marcsheppard1240]

Was very racist looking back and it was a different colour meaning the gladiator was a different race

@@patcrites5274 When did I say I did. Learn how to read, it was a jokey comment about Warrior being reckless on Powerball and them protecting the celebrities. Anyway they may have dropped it after Warrior and Saracen nearly killed Vinnie Jones the year before. Again though that's just a theory in case you're confused.

Why did the Celebrity edition have the hand ladder for the men rather than the hand bike on the Eliminator? The hand ladder is for women on the non celeb Gladiators lol.

[@magicalsenshi8685]

The hand ladder was used instead of the hand bike on nearly all the specials, even on the Battle of the Giants special in 1999. The only exception was the Armed Forces special in 1994, where the hand bike was used.

[@patcrites5274]

I agree with you

[@jonathanhockey9943]

Bit of a mockery of an event with rule breaking and bending left, right and center, Martin Offiah on pursuit was taking the piss, but Redmond would have won anyway whoever he was against I expect. He is actually there often as an official alongside John Anderson in the regular episodes, so he obviously had an inside scoop on tricks and technique for many of the events. and last year Fashanu one, so both times was a bit of a fix and a sham...

[@patcrites5274]

Do you realize this was for charitiy right. So John Anderson did let some of the rules slide on this show,
