00:00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiators? Do you have the will and the skill? Do you have the
00:00:21speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:25It's time for beginners to get down in your soul. Are you a creator?
00:00:59Are you a gladiator?
00:01:07From Sheffield Arena, this is the semi-final of gladiators.
00:01:12From the world of victory, yeah.
00:01:15Please welcome your hosts, it's Bradley and Barney Walsh.
00:01:27Hello Sheffield!
00:01:31It is the semi-final of gladiators!
00:01:38The contenders are fearless, the gladiators are merciless and he's reckless.
00:01:42Oh yes, I once ate a yoghurt, that was a week past its sell-by date, what a curse, I'm
00:01:46a bit of a maverick, there's nothing wrong, you know?
00:01:48Yeah, if you say so.
00:01:49There's a place in the grand final at stake, so let's meet the contenders hoping to claim victory tonight.
00:01:54It's Millie and Emily!
00:01:56There we are!
00:02:06After tearing through the heats and then smashing through the quarters, we now have our four ferocious female semi-finalists.
00:02:13Tonight, fighting for that one remaining spot in the final, it's the turn of Millie and Emily.
00:02:19Which of these warriors will make it through?
00:02:22First fighting for their spot is Millie, who's had a lot to smile about during her time on gladiators.
00:02:28She was the only contender in the heats to score maximum in hangs-up.
00:02:32Amazing, it felt great.
00:02:34Come a quarter, she took a battering from dynamite on jewel, but remained steadfast to earn five points.
00:02:40Some of them headshots sent me laughing.
00:02:42The firefighter from Cleethorpes looked right at home on the edge.
00:02:46She scored well before getting caught in sabers' claws.
00:02:50Six points, Millie!
00:02:51Well played!
00:02:53And Millie stormed through the eliminator to grab her place in the semis.
00:02:58Now she's up against powerhouse Emily, who's hoping to make her dad proud yet again.
00:03:05In the heats, the multilingual sales consultant sent Mercy to Cyclone for five points.
00:03:10If you make it to the quarters, I'll be there.
00:03:13Emily made it to the quarters all right, and this time beats Cyclone on Unleash.
00:03:18I don't think she's going to be very happy, I can't lie.
00:03:20But I'm so glad I got this flag.
00:03:21And despite starting a second behind on the eliminator, she charged through to the semifinals as the fastest runner-up.
00:03:29It's determination versus power.
00:03:31Who will make it through and earn their place in the gladiators' grand final?
00:03:38Millie, welcome back to the show.
00:03:40Now you're in the semifinals.
00:03:41I think you maybe had a bit of an advantage being a firefighter for heights and stuff.
00:03:45Working at heights, we do that as a firefighter, but nothing gets you ready for just falling off an edge.
00:03:52All right, family in, friends in?
00:03:55Yes, all my friends and family are here all to support me.
00:03:58They've been amazing. Thank you so much.
00:04:01I wish you luck in the semifinals. Give it up.
00:04:02That's Millie, everyone! Yes!
00:04:07Emily, welcome back to the show.
00:04:08You're in the semis. How do you feel about that?
00:04:10Ah! Honestly, I can't even believe it.
00:04:13Glad to be back, enjoying the ride and just having another dance.
00:04:16Let's talk about your quarter-final.
00:04:18Um, Unleash versus Cyclone.
00:04:20It was a fantastic run. You were so quick on that.
00:04:21Thank you. Yeah, obviously, me and Cyclone, we've got history.
00:04:24Stayed up against her, the first contender to do that in Jewel.
00:04:27Um, Unleash beat her again, so I think it felt like 2-0.
00:04:30I'm sure she has got a bone to pick with me today.
00:04:32Any friends and family in?
00:04:34Yeah, I've got my family all here. My family, my boys!
00:04:37We love you!
00:04:37Well, look, we wish you all the very best of luck.
00:04:40That's Millie and Emily!
00:04:46First up tonight is an event that's aggressive, fierce,
00:04:49and will definitely leave a mark on our contenders.
00:04:51Yeah, mainly bruises.
00:04:53It's time for the first event.
00:04:55Everest.
00:04:58Millie, you were knocked off Everest by Cyclone in the quarter-final.
00:05:02Let's see which gladiator you'll face tonight
00:05:04using our gladiator selector.
00:05:11Dynamite!
00:05:12Okay, how do you feel about going up against Dynamite?
00:05:14She's a super strong girl, but I think it'll be a really good battle.
00:05:18Okay, Emily, you successfully pushed off Dynamite in the heat.
00:05:21Let's see which gladiator you'll be taking on tonight.
00:05:27The Sabre, what do you feel about that?
00:05:29I mean, I know she's won an excellent fight, so bring it on.
00:05:33Without further ado, it's time to play Everest!
00:05:39First up on Everest, it's Emily who's facing Sabre.
00:05:42Every week, Sabre spends 19 hours training in the gym.
00:05:46About the same time it takes Mark to do his hair.
00:05:49Look at that silver fox.
00:05:51Joining him this evening are Lee Phillips and Sonya McLomer.
00:05:55Contender and gladiator, step forward!
00:06:05I can't tell if that's composure or confusion from Emily.
00:06:09We're about to find out!
00:06:11Take your positions!
00:06:16Contender, ready!
00:06:21Gladiator, ready!
00:06:263, 2, 1!
00:06:31Different sort of scrum down for rugby-playing Emily.
00:06:34She's got a solid base there, and Sabre is really going to have to work.
00:06:38You can see all the effort she's having to put in.
00:06:41She's inching forward, but Sabre's pushing well over 250 kilos up there.
00:06:46And it's about to get harder!
00:06:48Look at those screens!
00:06:49Here comes the first tilt of the night!
00:06:51It's advantage Emily now!
00:06:54And it's Sabre's turn to try and get a cordon!
00:06:57But she's going to be sent scampering down to earth!
00:07:04Go on, Dad!
00:07:06Go on, Emily!
00:07:09Sabre sent to the vets!
00:07:11And now she's getting warmed!
00:07:15It's play 2-1-2 for Emily on Everest!
00:07:18But it's okay, Sabre will land on her feet!
00:07:21She's got nine lives!
00:07:24I cannot believe what I've just seen!
00:07:26You beat Dynamites on the Heat in Everest,
00:07:28and now you've just beaten Sabre!
00:07:30You're undefeated!
00:07:30I love this new game!
00:07:33Wow! Sabre, what a contender!
00:07:36She just gave it everything!
00:07:37And you're right, I was undefeated on this game,
00:07:39but I think now and again a little bit of that is good for everyone!
00:07:42So maybe you're encouraging me now to up my game too!
00:07:46Absolutely!
00:07:4710 points!
00:07:48That's Emily!
00:07:49Thank you to Emily and Sabre!
00:07:53Next hoping to conquer Everest, it's Millie!
00:08:00Who is facing Dynamite!
00:08:08Dynamite's favourite school dinner, sausage and mash!
00:08:11Oh!
00:08:12Banging!
00:08:17Contender and Gladiator!
00:08:18Step forward!
00:08:23Two smiling assassins!
00:08:25I'd love to know what they're really thinking!
00:08:29Take your positions!
00:08:35Contender!
00:08:36Ready!
00:08:40Gladiator!
00:08:41Ready!
00:08:43Gladiator!
00:08:45Three!
00:08:46Two!
00:08:47One!
00:08:49When Millie played Everest in the quarters, she scored nothing!
00:08:53But she's looking stronger now, holding the 220 kilo wall, plus Dynamite steady!
00:08:59It's strength and stamina that wins this event, and Millie showing both of those right now!
00:09:05Rooted to the spot!
00:09:06The Gladiator just can't get Millie moving!
00:09:09You can see the strain in Dynamite's face, and now the tilt, and Millie starts to push!
00:09:16There's no recovery for Dynamite here!
00:09:18It's going to be a maximum for Millie!
00:09:31What a start for our female contenders!
00:09:34Millie follows Emily in scoring a max!
00:09:36Who's pushing me out there!
00:09:39My analysis of that was, it was fantastic!
00:09:45Honestly, I absolutely love that game, it gives you such a thrill!
00:09:49Dynamite, you were totally in control there until the tilt!
00:09:53A little bit annoying, to be honest with you!
00:09:57But, you know, she's a strong girl, and she's got that height advantage.
00:10:01It's a bit tough for us shorties out here, isn't it?
00:10:03What, eh?
00:10:04Ooh!
00:10:06Every inch helps!
00:10:07Yeah, every inch, half inch!
00:10:08So, listen, that is great for you!
00:10:1010 points for Millie!
00:10:16These women aren't here to mess around!
00:10:18There's clearly a fight for that place in the final!
00:10:21Both on 10!
00:10:23Let's meet the male semi-finalists going into battle with our Gladiators!
00:10:27It's Sean and Josh!
00:10:34When you're down!
00:10:35Hey!
00:10:36With you!
00:10:37Oh!
00:10:40After battling through intense heat, and then conquering the quarter-finals,
00:10:44we now have our four magnificent male semi-finalists!
00:10:48Tonight, it's the turn of Josh and Sean to try and secure that one remaining place
00:10:52in the Gladiators' Grand Final!
00:10:54Aerospace apprentice Sean believes preparation is key, studying his opponent's strengths and
00:11:00weaknesses for a triumphant outcome!
00:11:02Sean learned everything from Dad Murray, a 1995 Gladiators' semi-finalist!
00:11:08Calling himself Sean Ado, the Lancashire lad had swatted up on steel in the heat to score
00:11:14points on hands-up!
00:11:15I mean, he's clearly put his homework in!
00:11:17Well done!
00:11:17He came back for the quarters as one of the fastest runners-up and didn't let the opportunity
00:11:22fly by!
00:11:23He rattled Viper in gauntlet!
00:11:25Viper needs some more practice, I think, because I got back to it pretty quick!
00:11:29And even though he started the Eliminator four seconds behind, his game plan and tactics
00:11:34saw him overtake and claim the win!
00:11:37Oh!
00:11:38Semifinals, baby!
00:11:40Tonight, he'll be taking on Sales Manager Josh from Glasgow, who, it's safe to say,
00:11:46has had quite the journey to get here.
00:11:48In the heat, cheered on by brother Max, Josh left legend Ragen, scoring maximum on the edge.
00:11:54I thought he would have gave me a little bit of a harder game.
00:11:57And despite finishing second on the Eliminator, he returned as one of the fastest runners-up
00:12:02to replace the injured Mark.
00:12:04I'll try my best to do Mark round.
00:12:06And Josh did just that.
00:12:08He nailed the wall against Hammers.
00:12:10He's never been on flat wall, I could have held it all day.
00:12:13Even though he started six seconds behind on the Eliminator, Josh battled back to not only finish first,
00:12:19but smash his way to the semis.
00:12:21Got another opportunity, let's go, let's smash it!
00:12:24It's strategy versus speed, Sean versus Josh, for a place in the grand final.
00:12:32Welcome back, Sean.
00:12:34You're in your dad's tracksuit, the game from 1995.
00:12:38Let's quickly talk about Eliminator.
00:12:40This was brilliant.
00:12:41You were behind.
00:12:42You make it level, right at the bottom of the Travelator, and you sell a dummy.
00:12:47Talk us about that.
00:12:48If you go straight away, you can panic, and that's when you fall.
00:12:51He went for it, and fortunately fell for me, so then I took another five seconds and ran up.
00:12:56Yeah, that was a brilliant tactic, I've got to say.
00:12:58Can you do it again tonight?
00:13:00Oh, most definitely.
00:13:01I'm always going to change my tactics up, so you can expect another one tonight, I'm sure.
00:13:04Okay, all right, well, Josh better get on his marks.
00:13:07Right, for now though, Sean, everyone, give it up for Sean.
00:13:12Josh, welcome back.
00:13:14Let's talk about the semifinal.
00:13:15What events are you looking forward to tonight?
00:13:17So I'm really hoping for a collision.
00:13:18I'm fast, I'm agile, so I think I could get some big scores on that.
00:13:21Okay, that being...
00:13:22Sheffield Arena, you guys are in for a treat.
00:13:25You're simply the best.
00:13:28You're simply the best.
00:13:30You're simply the best.
00:13:32You're simply the best.
00:13:32You're the best.
00:13:32You're the best.
00:13:33You're the best.
00:13:33You're the best.
00:13:35Legend, what are you doing?
00:13:36I couldn't spend another minute back there listening to these two absolute dweebs just talking
00:13:42rubbish.
00:13:44You've got Sean, the shornado.
00:13:48More like the yornado.
00:13:52Now, Josh, I've actually got an award for you here tonight, mate.
00:13:55You deserve this.
00:13:56Put that on, mate.
00:13:59Josh is the worst contender we've ever seen on this show.
00:14:05Boo or not.
00:14:06The joke is on you.
00:14:08You're the ones that have got to sit and watch this absolute garbage.
00:14:12I'm going home.
00:14:13It's a bargain hunt or something.
00:14:15See you later.
00:14:16See you later, legend.
00:14:17Up you pot.
00:14:19Well, look, back to the plot.
00:14:21Josh, are there any gladiators you want to avoid apart from legend?
00:14:25The only gladiator here that intimidates me is Cyclone.
00:14:29Cyclone's everyone's worst nightmare.
00:14:31Oh, 100%.
00:14:32Well, look, we wish you all the very best of luck.
00:14:35That is Sean and Josh.
00:14:37Now we've met our male contenders, it's time for them to take on Everest.
00:14:44Okay, Sean, let's see who you're taking on tonight.
00:14:57Okay, Phantom, what do you feel about that?
00:14:59Yeah, I've taken on two big boys already, so what's the third big boy?
00:15:02Yeah, I totally agree, totally agree.
00:15:04Josh, you ready?
00:15:15That's quite frightening, isn't it?
00:15:17Oh, you're telling me I'm going to have to fight him on that?
00:15:18But let's go, let's hope for a good game.
00:15:20Okay, it is time, gentlemen, to play Everest.
00:15:25First up on Everest, it's Josh, who's facing the almighty giant.
00:15:29Good grief, 1,000 squats are his idea of a warm-up.
00:15:34Warm-up to me, he's putting a coat off.
00:15:38Tender and gladiator, step forward.
00:15:45V501, I smell the sweat to the Scottish mind.
00:15:49I'm not surprised it can smell him.
00:15:51I'd be doing more than sweating if I were Josh.
00:15:54Take your positions.
00:15:58Contender, ready!
00:16:03Gladiator, ready!
00:16:083, 2, 1.
00:16:12It is Josh's first time playing Everest.
00:16:16And Giant has already got him on the back foot.
00:16:19Look at the back foot, it's sliding away.
00:16:21Giant is getting into full power here.
00:16:24And Josh is going down!
00:16:34Josh enjoyed the dizzying heights of Everest for just 12 seconds before Giant brought him crashing 16 feet back down
00:16:41to Earth.
00:16:44I don't call him Giant for no reason, he is an absolute monster.
00:16:47But as gladiators are at the semi-finals, to be honest, when I knew I was coming up against Giant,
00:16:51I was buzzing.
00:16:52You want to come up against the best, that's why we're here, so, yeah, happy with how it went.
00:16:56I think it's extremely hard to appreciate what these guys go through.
00:17:00And the song of the gladiators is very true.
00:17:02You have the courage, the will, the skill, the strength, the speed, and the heart to be a winner.
00:17:08And Josh and everyone here today has got that, and I wish you all the best.
00:17:11That's really lovely sentiment from Giant there.
00:17:14Unfortunately, Josh, no points to you.
00:17:17That is Josh and Giant.
00:17:21Next, hoping to conquer Everest, is Sean.
00:17:27Who will be taking on Phantom.
00:17:34Phantom's first time on Everest.
00:17:36But those thighs give this gladiator a rock-solid foundation.
00:17:44Contender and gladiator, step forward.
00:17:56Oh, this is getting intense.
00:17:59Take your positions.
00:18:08Contender, ready.
00:18:14Gladiator, ready.
00:18:183, 2, 1.
00:18:22Sean's third time up on Everest.
00:18:24He hasn't won one yet, but he has taken the gladiator a fair distance.
00:18:29It's been pushed back quite a distance here by Phantom.
00:18:33Digging in, Sean.
00:18:34That's it.
00:18:34Oh, but now Phantom's got the momentum.
00:18:37Sean takes the backward tumble.
00:18:40See you, Salton Tepper.
00:18:47In his last two goes on Everest, he took it all the way to the second tilt of the platform.
00:18:52This time, just 15 seconds.
00:18:57Third time on Everest.
00:18:58Third loss.
00:18:59Yeah, I know.
00:19:00It's tough up there, man.
00:19:01It's really tough.
00:19:02To be fair, that was probably the toughest yet.
00:19:04I mean, I didn't last the tilt, so I was pretty upsetting, but it is what it is like.
00:19:09He's a strong guy.
00:19:10I'll give it to him, you know.
00:19:12Sadly, no points for you, Sean.
00:19:14On to the next event.
00:19:15Unless you're well.
00:19:18A terrific result for the gladiators, as both male contenders failed to score anything in their first event.
00:19:26Next up, the gladiators will be swinging into action like circus trapeze artists.
00:19:31Clowns more like.
00:19:32There's only one clown on this show.
00:19:33Yeah, giant.
00:19:35What makes you think that?
00:19:36Have you seen the size of his shoes?
00:19:39Collision.
00:19:42Plane collision for the female contenders.
00:19:45Give it up for Millie.
00:19:48And she will lead to dodge Cyclone and Fury.
00:19:55Cyclone can recite all the US states in alphabetical order.
00:19:58Della, where does she find the time?
00:20:01Hawaii, does she do it?
00:20:03This is Fury's first time playing collision this series.
00:20:06But just like riding a bike, this gladiator won't have forgotten how to be a human wrecking ball.
00:20:14Electro and fire!
00:20:18She's not yoking around.
00:20:20Fire loves snacking on boiled eggs.
00:20:23So that's why this gladiator is so hard to beat.
00:20:28Finally, it's Electro, who's only missed one game of collision across all series.
00:20:33She's got the spark for it.
00:20:37Contender, ready!
00:20:43Gladiators, ready!
00:20:48Three, two, one!
00:20:52Millie's first time playing collision, and she's right to be cautious up against the queens of the bridge.
00:20:58Fire and Electro, but she's past them.
00:21:01Not Cyclone though.
00:21:03Ball knocked out of her hands.
00:21:04Go again, Millie.
00:21:05She's focused on the finish here, isn't she?
00:21:07Millie.
00:21:08Eyes only on the other side, and she has got there for her first score.
00:21:12The ball gleefully thrown into the net.
00:21:16The tactics are definitely tentative rather than tearing it up.
00:21:20But she's got to keep a grip on those balls.
00:21:23Reminded of that by Mark Klatenberg.
00:21:27And now Millie's regained the all-important balance that's needed for this event, and she goes again.
00:21:32Strategy and speed are key, and she's keeping a sharp eye on those gladiators.
00:21:36Win to accelerate, win to hold back.
00:21:39Keen coordination again from our contender.
00:21:42There's another two points as Electro was sent spinning.
00:21:46And time is now against Millie.
00:21:49The crowd is counting down, and another one's gone.
00:21:52Millie left stranded in the middle of the bridge on four points.
00:21:58Well, Millie managed not to get knocked off, but wasn't prolific at scoring points.
00:22:03I think the headline is Butterfingers.
00:22:07That was pretty tough for you.
00:22:09When you've got such strong girls coming at you, you don't really know what to do.
00:22:13I lost a hair extension as well.
00:22:16Oh, there it is.
00:22:18Well, you know, hair today gone tomorrow, that's the way it is.
00:22:21So, that is Millie, and four points, everyone.
00:22:27Next on Collision, it's Emily.
00:22:34Contender, ready!
00:22:39Gladiators, ready!
00:22:443, 2, 1.
00:22:49So, here goes Emily, who's clearly had to think about this.
00:22:52And come to the conclusion that the best way is head down and charge.
00:22:56And she's going again.
00:22:57Oh, no.
00:22:59Gladiators in the way this time, those pesky gladiators.
00:23:03But another score, and she's on to four.
00:23:06Managing to duck out of the way of Electro and Fire.
00:23:09And she's ignored the Cyclone warning as well.
00:23:13This is good gameplay from Emily, and she's polite as well.
00:23:16After you, she says.
00:23:18I'm not sure that's a good tactic in the long run.
00:23:21Even if Dad seems happy about it.
00:23:23That will only wind up the gladiators to want to take her down even more.
00:23:27You've got to keep moving.
00:23:29Keep moving, says Mark.
00:23:31But Fury has knocked the ball out of her grasp that time.
00:23:35Emily now does move again.
00:23:37And she's going to go on to 10 points.
00:23:40There's still time to make it 12, you know.
00:23:42Dad's absolutely loving this.
00:23:44But Emily is now looking just a little bit jaded.
00:23:48She's dropped the ball again.
00:23:50That's where it has to end.
00:23:5210 points, though.
00:23:53High five.
00:23:56Well, it's always nice to see some courtesy brought into gladiators.
00:24:00It doesn't really work on collision, though.
00:24:04That was a great run from you.
00:24:07I can't believe I just did that, obviously.
00:24:09I've done collision in my heat.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:10Wasn't the best, but that was a way better second run.
00:24:13I'm happy with that.
00:24:14You're just the full package.
00:24:16You know, strength, speed, agility.
00:24:18And, yeah, you put a tough battle for us, so well done.
00:24:21She snuck past me a few times, so I wanted to make sure she got a taste of the cyclone.
00:24:26That's what I was trying to do.
00:24:27Well, she didn't get knocked down, so I think she survived the cyclone, if you don't mind me saying.
00:24:32That's 10 points to Emily!
00:24:37After two events, it's advantage Emily.
00:24:40She's on 20, Millie on 14.
00:24:44Playing collision for the male contenders.
00:24:46It's Sean.
00:24:49And he needs to avoid Viper and Apollo.
00:24:56Vipers typically wait for their prey to come near before striking.
00:25:00But on collision, this snake flies in for the kill like a hawk.
00:25:06And he's on the podium with Apollo, who is strong.
00:25:09One hit from him, and contenders are tired out.
00:25:14And Nitro and Phantom.
00:25:18We've already seen Phantom crush Sean tonight.
00:25:21Meanwhile, Nitro, well, this might be only his second time ever on collision.
00:25:24But let's face it, this gladiator has an annoying ability to be good at everything.
00:25:32Contender, ready!
00:25:36Gladiators, ready!
00:25:40Three, two, one!
00:25:44Sean is off and running and manages to get past Nitro very quickly.
00:25:48And he's given Viper the slip.
00:25:50Good bit of dodging there from Sean.
00:25:52And Apollo went too soon.
00:25:55Sean's got the Techers here.
00:25:56He's in for another score.
00:25:58He's on to four.
00:25:59When he was in the heat, he scored six points in total.
00:26:02He's on that now.
00:26:04Can anything stop the contender?
00:26:06Well, Sean has beaten Apollo once again.
00:26:09Now for Nitro and Phantom.
00:26:10And boom!
00:26:11He's on to eight!
00:26:13Now has he got another crossing left in him?
00:26:16Apollo's got a piece this time!
00:26:18And Viper knocks him down!
00:26:20Down, down, down, down!
00:26:23Looks like party time for Nitro and Phantom.
00:26:26Poor Apollo.
00:26:27He's stuck with the party pooper.
00:26:31A terrific effort from Sean.
00:26:33He was careering across the collision bridge with real confidence.
00:26:37Until the snake got his fangs in.
00:26:40So we have Phantom, we have Apollo, and we have Nigel.
00:26:43Happy Harry can't be bothered to come down up there.
00:26:47Viper, I've got to say, that was a sensational move.
00:26:50Oh, yeah.
00:26:51I think that means well done, Sean.
00:26:53Congratulations.
00:26:56Viper, all the training that you do and everything,
00:26:58it's finally come to fruition that you've drop-kicked someone off,
00:27:01so that must be good for you.
00:27:04Thank you for that, Viper.
00:27:06Sensational stuff.
00:27:07But more importantly, it's Sean.
00:27:09Eight points, everyone.
00:27:12Next up, facing Collision for the very first time, it's Josh.
00:27:23Contender, ready.
00:27:29Gladiators, ready.
00:27:35Three, two, one.
00:27:39So eight points for Sean.
00:27:41What is Josh going to score?
00:27:42This is his first time on Collision,
00:27:44and he's quickly finding out that this is no walk in the park.
00:27:48Well, no, it's a sprint across the bridge,
00:27:50and that's what he's just done.
00:27:52Pairing across onto four.
00:27:55And here he goes again.
00:27:56Excellent.
00:27:57Excellent.
00:27:58All right, praise from Mark Thunberg, and he's right.
00:28:00This is excellent.
00:28:02Gosh, Josh, I've not seen a Collision debut as impressive as this before.
00:28:06Josh did say that he wanted to have a go at Collision tonight,
00:28:09and we can all see why.
00:28:12Just getting a bit of treatment there.
00:28:13Apollo with a second kick,
00:28:15but he's up off the floor to take his total to ten.
00:28:19Josh's supporters are loving this.
00:28:21A duck, a dive, and now it's kicked out of his hand.
00:28:24He won't be scoring this time.
00:28:26There is still time, though, to score again.
00:28:29Deep breaths, Josh.
00:28:30Oh, there it is.
00:28:32The Gladiators have finally got their match.
00:28:40No, fellas, you can't party after that.
00:28:43Apollo knows.
00:28:46Well, we need to slow down the footage of that game
00:28:49just to see Josh at normal speed.
00:28:51He was rapid.
00:28:54You watch it on TV,
00:28:55you think you've got a bad distance
00:28:56between yourself and the Gladiators,
00:28:58but they're right on top of you.
00:29:00Well, look, you know you're doing something right
00:29:01when Mark Thunberg says excellent mid-game.
00:29:04Oh, I don't know.
00:29:04I thought cheers, man.
00:29:07Apollo, look,
00:29:08you want to know why this is my favourite show?
00:29:10Because of contenders like this.
00:29:11Yeah.
00:29:12No matter the size of the obstacle
00:29:14or what's in front of them,
00:29:16how many times they get knocked down,
00:29:17they just get back up.
00:29:18So, as an example to everyone at home,
00:29:20if you're down an hour right now,
00:29:22you better look up,
00:29:23you better get up,
00:29:24and you better never give up.
00:29:26Great words for Apollo there.
00:29:29Ten points to Josh!
00:29:34Look how tight this is.
00:29:36Eight points to Sean,
00:29:37ten to Josh.
00:29:38I've got a feeling
00:29:39that's going to be a theme all evening.
00:29:43In this next event,
00:29:44our contenders need nerves of steel,
00:29:47like me.
00:29:47You, nerves of steel?
00:29:48Yeah.
00:29:49I don't get rattled by anything.
00:29:50Nothing fazes me, Barnes.
00:29:52Next!
00:29:55You didn't tell me about that, did you?
00:29:57You didn't tell me about that.
00:29:59Time for the next event!
00:30:03The ball.
00:30:06Time for the female contenders.
00:30:08On the wall,
00:30:09for the very first time,
00:30:10it's Millie.
00:30:14Trying to climb away from Saber.
00:30:20Also scaling the wall for the first time,
00:30:23it's Emily.
00:30:25And she's hoping to get away from Comet.
00:30:31Comet's favourite karaoke track
00:30:33is Defying Gravity.
00:30:35Exactly what she looked to do
00:30:37as she chases Emily tonight.
00:30:39Wicked.
00:30:42Contenders,
00:30:44ready!
00:30:48Gladiators,
00:30:49ready!
00:30:52Contenders,
00:30:53you will go on my first whistle.
00:30:55Gladiators,
00:30:56you will go on my second whistle.
00:30:59Three,
00:31:00two,
00:31:01one!
00:31:02Neither of these two contenders
00:31:05have taken on the wall before,
00:31:06but it's a very confident climb from Emily.
00:31:10Millie finding it a bit more of a struggle
00:31:12to get her hands and feet in sync.
00:31:14Oh, Comet's got a hold of Emily's left leg
00:31:16and been booted off!
00:31:18Saber, meanwhile,
00:31:19is just having the time of her life up there.
00:31:21She knows what's about to happen.
00:31:24And it's happened!
00:31:25Millie's down!
00:31:27Emily is nearly at the top,
00:31:28but Comet is closing in!
00:31:30What a recovery from the Gladiator!
00:31:32Can she get a grab before Emily gets over the top?
00:31:35No, she can't!
00:31:38Ten points for Emily!
00:31:41Saber was grinning like a Cheshire cat on the wall.
00:31:45Meanwhile,
00:31:45the Fallen star Comet
00:31:47failed to catch back up with Emily
00:31:48at Supernova.
00:31:50Ten points for her!
00:31:53Emily, you're made of the world!
00:31:55Oh, my God!
00:31:56I can't believe it!
00:31:58Yeah!
00:31:59I'm the queen of the world!
00:32:04Listen,
00:32:04you've got to be ecstatic about that.
00:32:06That's the first time you've played the wall.
00:32:07You absolutely smashed it.
00:32:08Any words for Comet downstairs?
00:32:09I mean,
00:32:10she is lovely,
00:32:10but better luck next time, darling!
00:32:14That's a well-deserved ten points!
00:32:16That's Emily!
00:32:18So, after soaring to maximum points,
00:32:21Emily gains a 16-point advantage.
00:32:24She's on 30.
00:32:25Millie on 14.
00:32:28Climbing the wall for the male contenders in red
00:32:31is Sean.
00:32:34And in blue,
00:32:35it's Josh.
00:32:38And hunting them down
00:32:40will be
00:32:40Hammer and Nitro!
00:32:52This gladiator's favourite toy of the trial
00:32:55was Buzz Lightyear.
00:32:56And on the wall,
00:32:57he'll be going to infinity
00:32:58and knowing Hammer
00:32:59way beyond.
00:33:06Contenders,
00:33:07ready!
00:33:11Gladiators,
00:33:12ready!
00:33:15Contenders,
00:33:16you will go on my first whistle.
00:33:18Gladiators,
00:33:19you will go on my second whistle.
00:33:22Three,
00:33:23two,
00:33:24one!
00:33:26Both Sean and Josh
00:33:27have form on the wall.
00:33:29They both previously got
00:33:30to the top
00:33:31and they're trying to scale
00:33:32the heights again
00:33:33but look at that!
00:33:34Josh has already been caught
00:33:36and Nitro does not want to let go.
00:33:39Sean's climbing well
00:33:40on the left-hand side
00:33:40just staying out of the reach
00:33:42of Hammer
00:33:42but that might be about to change.
00:33:44There was a slip of the feet
00:33:45from Sean.
00:33:46Look how close Hammer is!
00:33:48And he's got a hold
00:33:49of the harness!
00:33:51Nitro's nearly got the job done
00:33:53as well
00:33:54and there's one completed!
00:33:57And there's two!
00:33:58Brilliant work by the Gladiators.
00:34:00That's a win
00:34:01for Hammer
00:34:01and Nitro!
00:34:04Nitro had Josh
00:34:05within reach
00:34:06very early.
00:34:07Hammer always had Sean
00:34:08in his sights.
00:34:09The Gladiators
00:34:10going up a gear
00:34:11for the semis!
00:34:13I think he slipped
00:34:15the harness guy
00:34:15a tenner
00:34:16to get me all tangled up
00:34:17and I realised
00:34:17I would have been away
00:34:18but you're coming up
00:34:20against the best.
00:34:21It was a difficult fight.
00:34:22So I took my time
00:34:23on a bit of a speed limit
00:34:24with this wall.
00:34:25I can't go too fast
00:34:25otherwise I'll go past him.
00:34:28Unfortunately
00:34:28that's no points for you
00:34:29but round of applause
00:34:30to Josh and Nitro!
00:34:32Almost got away from him.
00:34:34I felt him tickling me
00:34:35the whole time
00:34:36it was pretty scary.
00:34:37I got under that pressure
00:34:39and I fumbled a bit
00:34:40and that's when I got caught.
00:34:41Well no points for Sean
00:34:43but thank you very much.
00:34:44Sean
00:34:44and Josh everyone
00:34:45and of course Nitro
00:34:47and Hammer everybody!
00:34:51So no change
00:34:52to our contender scores.
00:34:54Sean on eight
00:34:54Josh on ten.
00:34:57Dad, what?
00:34:58Could you describe
00:34:59our next event in one word?
00:35:00Yeah, no problem.
00:35:01Go on then.
00:35:02Ouch!
00:35:04Actually, that's pretty spot on.
00:35:05It's time for the next event!
00:35:08Suspension Bridge.
00:35:10A game of swaying,
00:35:12swinging
00:35:12and survival.
00:35:14The contender
00:35:15has to cross
00:35:16the suspension bridge
00:35:17to the opposite podium
00:35:18but to get there
00:35:19they'll need to engage
00:35:20in a hammerhead battle
00:35:22against a gladiator
00:35:23who's determined
00:35:24to block their path
00:35:25and knock them off.
00:35:27Make it to the gladiator's podium
00:35:29and it's ten points.
00:35:31Fall
00:35:32and it's nothing.
00:35:33In the ultimate test
00:35:35of balance and brawn
00:35:36it's suspension bridge.
00:35:40playing suspension bridge
00:35:42for the female contenders
00:35:43it's Millie.
00:35:47And she is facing
00:35:49the might of
00:35:50Electro!
00:35:58Contender
00:35:59ready!
00:36:04Gladiator

00:36:14at Electro
00:36:15over on the other side
00:36:16of the bridge
00:36:16but now they come together
00:36:18and the sparks are flying
00:36:20and so is Millie!
00:36:24Electro
00:36:25on full power!
00:36:29Well her full voltage strike
00:36:31dazzled Millie so much
00:36:32she thought the bridge
00:36:33was wider than it is.
00:36:35Talk about being shocked!
00:36:37that was the worst performance
00:36:39I have ever done.
00:36:41I just don't know
00:36:41what happened
00:36:42I was so confident
00:36:43and I think that first hit
00:36:44it just
00:36:44it sent me west.
00:36:46Yeah I thought it was a good one.
00:36:47This game
00:36:47I want to describe it
00:36:49it's like dual
00:36:49but in your dreams
00:36:50you know what I mean?
00:36:50Right.
00:36:50Everyone's a little bit weird
00:36:51everyone's a little bit wobbly
00:36:52I feel quite stable up there
00:36:54but yeah
00:36:55sorry babes.
00:36:56Sorry to Millie
00:36:57sadly zero points
00:36:58but best of luck
00:36:58in the next one
00:36:59that is Millie
00:36:59and Electro!
00:37:03Next on the bridge
00:37:04it's Emily
00:37:08versus Cyclone.
00:37:11Emily and Cyclone
00:37:12meet face to face
00:37:13for the third time
00:37:14Emily leads the feud
00:37:16having previously
00:37:17stayed up on duel
00:37:18and one at unleashed
00:37:19Cyclone is one gladiator
00:37:21with an axe
00:37:22and a hammerhead

00:37:44wielding that hammerhead
00:37:45which is over
00:37:46two metres long
00:37:47and that hasn't lasted
00:37:49very long
00:37:50Emily chose to attack
00:37:52from the side
00:37:53and that's when
00:37:54it's very easy
00:37:55to be unbalanced
00:37:57as demonstrated here
00:37:59by Super Cyclone
00:38:02there's a bit of
00:38:03previous between you two

00:39:34at Sean
00:39:34I'm not sure
00:39:36that was within the rules
00:39:40what happened there then
00:39:41well I think it was
00:39:42pretty self-explanatory
00:39:44Mark will have something
00:39:45to say about it
00:39:46I'm sure
00:39:47the rules state
00:39:49that the gladiator
00:39:50cannot charge
00:39:51and push
00:39:52the content
00:39:53off the bridge
00:39:53therefore
00:39:54I'm disqualifying

00:41:53like all of our events
00:41:55this next one requires both brains and brawn
00:41:58which would you use
00:41:59neither
00:42:00I'd fake an injury and go home
00:42:01very wise
00:42:02time for the next event
00:42:04hammy
00:42:04got a hammy
00:42:05hang tough
00:42:08hoping to hang tough
00:42:09it's Emily
00:42:14who is hoping to avoid
00:42:16dynamite
00:42:27contender
00:42:33gladiator
00:42:33ready
00:42:373
00:42:382
00:42:401
00:42:41it's Emily
00:42:42against dynamite
00:42:43part 3
00:42:44another rivalry
00:42:46which goes back to the heat
00:42:47and the current scores on the doors
00:42:491-1
00:42:52last time Emily played hang tough
00:42:53she didn't score anything
00:42:55she'll be determined to put that right here
00:42:58dynamite though
00:42:59has got her
00:43:00now this will spell trouble
00:43:02surely
00:43:04Emily's family enjoying it a whole lot more than she must be
00:43:07might help if she gets two hands on one ring
00:43:10preferably a red one
00:43:11so much time still remaining
00:43:15but not now
00:43:21well I loved hearing that chat
00:43:24dynamite actually asked
00:43:25do you want to go
00:43:26and Emily said
00:43:27yeah I do I think
00:43:30I'm not a fan of this one
00:43:32I was doing some thumb walls to get my thumbs going
00:43:34ready to grip on
00:43:34didn't do the job
00:43:35but I sort of just go as I please
00:43:37sing a little song
00:43:38enjoy the ride
00:43:39and I get to meet lovely dynamite in the middle
00:43:41next up
00:43:44it's Millie
00:43:46and she is up against
00:43:49fire
00:43:59contender
00:44:00ready
00:44:05gladiator
00:44:06ready
00:44:14so what an opportunity for Millie
00:44:16with Emily taken down
00:44:17she's got the chance to close the gap here
00:44:19and she has hand tough form
00:44:22she got maximum points in the heat
00:44:25now
00:44:25facing the heat of fire
00:44:28and what's the golden rule
00:44:30you should never
00:44:31ever
00:44:32get too close to fire
00:44:35looks as though she might get away
00:44:36with a scorching there
00:44:38try a different route now Millie
00:44:40oh dear
00:44:41she's done it again
00:44:42straight back in
00:44:44to feel the heat
00:44:45of the gladiator
00:44:46once more
00:44:46fire trying to coax
00:44:49the contender down
00:44:50Millie's got a strong grip there
00:44:52over 130 kilos
00:44:54pulling on Millie's arms
00:44:56her shoulders
00:44:57her forearms
00:44:58they'll be burning now
00:44:59hard for the gladiator too
00:45:01fire must make sure
00:45:03she doesn't slip away to the floor
00:45:04without the contender going with her
00:45:07I think fire's gonna have to try something different here
00:45:10only four seconds to go
00:45:12Millie
00:45:13hanging
00:45:14very tough indeed
00:45:16and going all the way
00:45:21that was some performance from firefighter Millie
00:45:26fighting fire
00:45:27and winning
00:45:28just another day at work
00:45:32what a performance
00:45:33I mean you are a firefighter
00:45:34and you fought fire
00:45:36and you come out on top
00:45:37finally
00:45:38I needed to get my comeback
00:45:39fire
00:45:40what a contender
00:45:41probably the only person that can take me down
00:45:43as a firefighter
00:45:44so
00:45:44well done for giving me
00:45:45the best firefighter I could have
00:45:48congratulations
00:45:49that is
00:45:49five points to Millie
00:45:51at the end of five events
00:45:52Millie finishes on 19
00:45:54Emily's on 30
00:45:55we'll find out what that means for the eliminator later on
00:46:00playing hang tough for the male contenders
00:46:02it's Josh
00:46:05and he is taking on Apollo
00:46:08and he is taking on Apollo
00:46:34it's Josh's debut on hang tough
00:46:36and it's his first time facing Apollo
00:46:39in a head-to-head battle
00:46:41Apollo's getting his groove on
00:46:44Josh wobbling a little bit
00:46:45and it can be hard to rectify the situation
00:46:49when you start to shake
00:46:50it might well be about to get even harder
00:46:53because Apollo will now set about the business
00:46:56and try to shake Josh off those rings
00:46:59and business is good
00:47:04Josh never really got to grips with that
00:47:06such a shame
00:47:07looks like Apollo
00:47:08isn't the only god of poetry around here
00:47:12I've been looking forward to doing that game
00:47:14it's a lot of fun
00:47:15it's quite hard to change direction when you're up there
00:47:17you've got a god like Apollo coming at you
00:47:19with thunder thighs
00:47:20there's no really place you can go
00:47:21so thunder thighs
00:47:23how is it?
00:47:24well what a compliment
00:47:25Apollo Airways doesn't get out there a lot
00:47:26but so enjoyable
00:47:28but I think every game I've played
00:47:29I've won now
00:47:30so look if you're just tuning in at home
00:47:32welcome to the Apollo show
00:47:37sadly no points
00:47:38it's Josh everyone
00:47:42playing hang tough for the male contenders
00:47:44it's Sean
00:47:47and he is swinging against Steel
00:47:50Steel has always loved hanging around
00:47:57but last time against Sean in this event
00:48:00it was the contender who proved tough enough
00:48:02he stayed on those hanged up rings for the full minute
00:48:05the last time he took on Steel
00:48:07delighting Dad Murray
00:48:09who faced the gladiators himself in 1995
00:48:11not Steel though
00:48:13he was only five
00:48:17contender ready
00:48:22gladiator ready
00:48:263, 2, 1
00:48:30oh I'm rubbing my hands with anticipation for this one
00:48:33Sean against Steel in hang tough
00:48:36it's the grudge match we've been waiting for
00:48:39Sean's making good progress
00:48:40but he's got to be careful not to swing too close to Steel
00:48:43who has one grub at him
00:48:45and now uses his legs and locks on
00:48:48oh look at Sean
00:48:49he's floundering around like a salmon caught in a net
00:48:52and Steel is going fishing
00:48:55Team Shornado urge their hero to hang on
00:48:59he's trying desperately to wriggle free
00:49:02but Steel has got his hooks in
00:49:0425 seconds still to go
00:49:06Sean is really taking the name of the game to the limit
00:49:10he is hanging tough
00:49:12really tough
00:49:13but it's only going to get tougher
00:49:15look how hard Steel's working
00:49:19the countdown's on from 10 now
00:49:22Sean is showing us all
00:49:24that he's got a grip of
00:49:25well Steel
00:49:263, 2, 1
00:49:29he's hung on for 5 points
00:49:33absolutely magnificent
00:49:38these two give us a brilliant battle every time
00:49:41a showdown like their first
00:49:43which ended in Sean once again scoring 5
00:49:49you've got to be happy with that
00:49:51I'm absolutely buzzing with that
00:49:52obviously I had my back to him and he wrapped me up
00:49:54and I thought no no I'm gone I'm gone
00:49:56but yeah I managed to just hold on for a day of life
00:49:59we were both screaming
00:50:00what have you got on your hands
00:50:02this you and your grip is insanely strong
00:50:05it felt like we were on there for ages
00:50:07you're by far the hardest and toughest contender
00:50:10I've got on hang tough
00:50:11so well done bro
00:50:12yes
00:50:135 points to Sean
00:50:17what a fight this is
00:50:19for that place in the final
00:50:20after 5 events
00:50:22Sean finishes with a massive 8 point lead
00:50:24which could be key
00:50:25going into the eliminator
00:50:28this is it
00:50:29it's time for the ultimate end game
00:50:32the winner of this will be racing
00:50:34into the grand final
00:50:35with a shot at gladiators glory
00:50:36oh yes
00:50:37our contenders must draw on all their physical strength
00:50:40and sporting prowess
00:50:41what about us?
00:50:42we just put our feet up
00:50:43and crack out the old popcorn
00:50:46I love this job
00:50:48it's the eliminator
00:50:50the eliminator
00:50:54so first off
00:50:56it's the female contenders
00:50:57fighting it out
00:50:58for a place in the grand final
00:51:00Emily is 11 points ahead of Millie
00:51:03and with each point being worth half a second
00:51:05it means Emily has a 5.5 second advantage
00:51:09for a place in the grand final
00:51:12contenders
00:51:13ready
00:51:18Emily you will go on my first whistle
00:51:20Millie you will go on my second whistle
00:51:233
00:51:252
00:51:251
00:51:28Emily is away
00:51:29a little shake of the hands
00:51:30to get herself loose
00:51:31for the challenge ahead
00:51:33and it's a really bright start
00:51:35now here comes Millie
00:51:37Emily is already halfway up the rope
00:51:39but that's proving to be a bit of a struggle for her
00:51:42wonder if Millie's seen that
00:51:44she has alright
00:51:44she's catching up on Emily
00:51:46who now moves sweetly across the overhead ladders
00:51:50but there really isn't much in this
00:51:53the form is with Emily
00:51:55in their quarter finals
00:51:57Emily went through the eliminator
00:51:59in a much faster time than Millie
00:52:01but then again Millie has previous experience
00:52:03of winning the final event of the night
00:52:05and she will not be giving this up
00:52:07as she jumps onto the cargo net
00:52:10Emily's still in her sights
00:52:11but very nearly at the top
00:52:13here she goes
00:52:14hauling herself up
00:52:15to go across to the zip wire
00:52:17now as ever
00:52:18we start to think about the final two things in a way
00:52:22the balance beam
00:52:23and then the travelator
00:52:24because that's all that stands between Emily
00:52:27and a place in the grand final
00:52:29and she seems to have extended her lead
00:52:31over Millie here
00:52:32skipping across the balance beam
00:52:35well done
00:52:36that was wonderful
00:52:38now taking deep breaths
00:52:39if she can do the travelator
00:52:41in a wanna
00:52:42a place in the final is hers
00:52:45here goes Emily
00:52:46keeping her balance
00:52:47trying to keep up with the power
00:52:49but she can't cling on
00:52:52and Millie's lost her balance on the beam
00:52:55the pressure is getting to both of them
00:52:57they're really tired as well
00:52:59it's been a grueling night up against the gladiators
00:53:02Emily goes again
00:53:05this time
00:53:06a straight run
00:53:07she's gonna get there
00:53:09and it will be Emily
00:53:11who will get the shot at final glory
00:53:16sheer joy for her family
00:53:18and it's being matched on the arena floor
00:53:21by the sheer determination of Millie
00:53:24to complete this semi-final
00:53:26as quickly as she can
00:53:27second place
00:53:29but she deserves a hearty cheer as well
00:53:36well Emily speaks several languages
00:53:39and knows the language of winning
00:53:41trivia on Emily
00:53:42wunderbar
00:53:43time to say

00:53:57I thought right
00:53:57this is my time
00:53:59but I put too much pressure on myself
00:54:01right
