UK Gladiators - Series 5 1996 - Sport Celebrity Challenge

[@MrMatthias]

I wasn't paying attention for a bit there in the intro, so the Contender Intro Fanfare playing to an ambulance slowly driving through was both jarring and hilarious to me.

[@carsilk2492]

Ulrika Jonsson is funny as hell, I love how she kind of ribs people while she's talking to them

[@sarc87]

46:17 delighted to spot myself pop out from behind the girl in yellow 😀

[@davidfearis7335]

2:20 So that's where they store THE PENDULUM

[@Tubewings]

How fitting that it came down to the only UK Gold Medalists from the Atlanta Olympics in the Eliminator.

[@dubiouscaesar3709]

When you see Steve Redgrave's training regime it's no surprise how he was so dominant at atlaspheres.

[@dingwei7]

41:50 - one of the best duels ever. Cobra the legend!

[@CarlAdams-m7k]

11:47 John Sachs think on Warrior "Incidentally carrying an injury" In the first series in 1992. 13:34 Panther "One serious elderly, 4 Olympic Gold Medals wow, Goodness me" And it was also panther's last ever time as a Gladiator. 29:37 Hunter "This guy is awesome, No wonder he's got 4 Gold medals"

[@Tubewings]

BTW, of the six sports celebrities, only two of them won Olympic Gold medals, while all but Neil Back competed in an Olympics. Incidentally, Nick Gillingham won gold at the Commonwealth Games, European Championships, and World Short Course Championships, but not the Olmypics (he won silver in Seoul and bronze in Barcelona).

[@1002l]

matthew pinsent could have been a gladiator if he wated to, such a natural athlete

[@ashleywallace83]

Rare appearances on Duel by Wolf and Cobra.

[@GladiatorsBoy]

So strange to see male and female glads together on Atlaspheres. I wonder what Warrior’s injury was. Not many games more physical than Atlaspheres. The male and female mix Happened again in the Series 6 celeb special when Rio joined the boys on Hit and Run.

[@davidfearis7335]

I think it was around this time Warrior starts getting in trouble with The Fire Arms Offence, I could be wrong of course

[@gezatherton1071]

3:15 I think by the time of broadcast Steve decided to continue on to Sydney! :)

[@porcupinefizzy2908]

Sad to see Trojan and Panther leave after this episode.

[@justinhillenburg9286]

Trojan was wanting to focus more on Hollywood.

[@gftyhify]

And John Fashnu’s last episode until 1999

[@neilberry1552]

The beginning of the end losing both them and fash and previously losing jet nightshade shadow etc

[@Mitjitsu]

I thought Panther left after her injury on Tilt.

[@Artesian_mirage]

@@Mitjitsu No she came back but was never the same, much like Nightshade who had contracted some kind of virus whilst away at the ashes in Australia, she came back but just couldn't compete anymore.

[@deandavies9576]

Fairplay steve true champ!

[@davidfearis7335]

39:57 Wolf went before the whistle there, not it was going to make any difference to who would do the Eliminator! Maybe Ace went before the whistle as well, I'll let you decide.

[@nicoladale1668]

I was going to say that I'd never seen Trojan knocked off Duel so quickly but actually that's not true because Paul Field knocked him off equally quickly in his quarter final two years earlier.

[@nicoladale1668]

Naturally it was the rowers that made the Eliminator - and it was Steve who won

[@StFidjnr]

panther one of the best climbers of the wall but she has drawn the short straw because she is chasing the baddest olympic rower of them all

[@Tubewings]

And this was also her last appearance on Gladiators.

[@adamjones5459]

StFidjnr really? I liked her but historically she didn't win a single wall race that I can remember? Lovely lady but win/loss was pretty uneven

[@gquinn4159]

Oh she did win once on the wall. Season 4 1995 heat 8 and it was her first time on the wall. But she must had been up against the crappest contender ever, I forget her name.... She was rubbish... Anyways Panther was on it a 2nd time in Q Final 4 of that season and lost.... She had her 3rd outing in the 96 season just finished and lost and now her 4th and final time in this show..... Ah bless, Panther is no more... Her charm, cheek and chrisma got her far. She was a great favourite with fans and it was her own choice to leave the show due to some medical condition.

[@RoyStantz]

Panther deserves a "Leave the Memories Alone"-esque music video, and so does Trojan.

[@Freddie1980]

Watching Sumo it's clear the producers had setup the whole show so Steve and Matthew would meet in the finals

[@MrGriser]

Which episode came next?

[@ukgladiatorsfan]

MrGriser ashes 2 heat 1

[@MrGriser]

Great can't wait for that :)

[@mikeykm1993]

Seems strange that it isn’t ‘Sir’ Steve Redgrave!

[@KaiserRika]

I know. Sounds weird.

[@MultiVince95]

Saturday 11th January 1997

[@daedralord1]

They are all events that the sportsmen couldn’t get hurt. Not one contact event

[@MultiVince95]

Nice

[@rewind2020]

wow getting awayn from lightning on the wall, hes so lucky

[@ljgarrison6910]

I'd rather be caught by her if i'm honest.

[@acesfn7316]

Didn't affect the score but there was no block. The Gladiator just decided to go round the contenders helmet

[@sapphireblue8930]

Trojan's last episode!! 😢

[@nicoladale1668]

And Panther's.

[@nicoladale1668]

And Fash's until 1999.

[@neilberry1552]

Was the beginning of the end once jet panther shadow trojan nightshade etc weren't there

[@jessepascualventura588]

Saturday 11th January 1997 Bonus Episode.

[@gquinn4159]

Laser doesn't normally do well on The Wall. She was only on it once in the Northern Final and lost. She was useless.

[@nicoladale1668]

Clearly Rebel was NOT going to get him!
