Wiki.

Gladiators is a British television game show centred around sports entertainment activities. It is an adaptation of the earlier American television programme and its format, American Gladiators. The British version was produced by London Weekend Television (LWT) for commercial television network ITV.

The programme's format sees four contestants, two male and two female, compete in a series of physically challenging events against the show's resident 'Gladiators', eventually competing in one final event. The contestants aim to secure a place in the grand final, and ultimately be crowned champion for their respective series. There were no prizes awarded to the winner in any episode, only in the grand final. Gladiators was presented by Ulrika Jonsson throughout its original run, alongside John Fashanu (1992–96, 1999–2000) and Jeremy Guscott (1997–98), with John Sachs providing commentary on each event, and John Anderson refereeing the contests. A group of cheerleaders also accompanied the show, known as the 'G-Force'.
