Contenders Ready? Gladiators is back tonight at 5.50pm on BBC One and iPlayer!

Watch, record or stream it on a Humax set-top box.

Bradley and Barney Walsh host the iconic competition show, re-imagined for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Get set for all the classic action packed battles alongside jaw dropping new events and sixteen mighty Gladiators. Four contenders must face our resident superhumans across five brutal events before going head to head in the legendary Eliminator.

Who has the will and the skill to conquer the infamous travelator and win a place in the quarter-finals?

Tonight, Legend makes a statement on Hang Tough, Sabre gets her claws out in The Ring and contenders feel Viper’s venom on the Collision Bridge.

Host Bradley Walsh says: “It’s pretty much true to the original with some changes and brought into the modern era. It’s a fantastic spectacle, I was so excited to work on the show. It’s very easy to say, “it’s fantastic”, but it really is. Production have done their best to stick to the original and have run with the ball as hard and as fast as they can, and they’ve done a fantastic job”.

Barney Walsh says: “I'm thrilled that Gladiators is coming back and hosting it with Dad was incredible. We're paying homage to the original series because it's like the original. What I love is that we're now at a point where the people who watched Gladiators when they were younger are now grown up and have children of their own so it's a real generational family event and I’m very excited for everyone to see it.”
