00:00Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:26It's time for beginners, get down in your soul
00:32Are you a creator?
00:56Are you a gladiator?
01:06From Sheffield Arena, this is Gladiators!
01:12Please welcome your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh!
01:24Thank you so much!
01:26Oh my goodness, welcome to Gladiators!
01:32Where our gladiators are looking stronger than ever, as are the presenters.
01:36I know, Barnes just passed my gladiators' fitness exam, had to do a bleep test.
01:40You did a bleep test?
01:41Yeah, well, I ran 30 metres and swore 52 times, but they said it was a record.
01:46Never changed that.
01:47All right, let's meet our contenders.
01:49Let's do.
01:51I'm Elliot, I'm a gardener and I'm from Devon.
01:55I'm from Lovely Village in Devon.
01:57It's beautiful round there and they breed proper warriors.
02:01You went to see my Total War team.
02:04It is a no-nonsense type of sport, but then after that, big hugs.
02:08All the people, they come together and it makes such a great community.
02:11I've got a beautiful wife Zoe and I've got a lovely pair of twins called Solomon and Lola.
02:15If you want to get on gladiators, you've got to be the best.
02:18So, I've been training with people in my village.
02:20I've had my children running round the garden with me playing Powerball.
02:23Oh, get him back, don't you worry.
02:25I'm not worried about any of these gladiators.
02:27I would love going against Legend.
02:28Yeah, well, I love Legend.
02:29So does my wife, to be fair.
02:30Was all I ever wanted
02:32Everyone in this village is behind me.
02:35It's like the biggest thing that's ever happened to this village.
02:38And I want to go all the way.
02:39I want to make them proud.
02:44I'm Tyler, I'm 30 and I'm a teacher from Wigan.
02:48So I'm a computer science and IT teacher.
02:50The students found out the other day that I was on gladiators.
02:52Do you think I've got what it takes to beat the gladiators and win the show?
02:55Yes!
02:56I just need to last longer than three seconds on dual or I'll not be able to live it down.
03:00I've got personal pride on the line.
03:02I live with my wife Hannah and our crazy cocker spaniel Cooper.
03:06We're really active, we train together.
03:09I'd train every single day if I could.
03:11I'm really into the gym and I have played semi-professional rugby for eight years.
03:16I love playing part of the team but I think I've got to that stage now where I actually want to test myself individually.
03:24I'm five foot six but I thrive in those situations being against someone who's bigger than me.
03:28Pound for pound I know I am faster, stronger, more powerful than any of the gladiators.
03:33So come game day, they're tiredly off and I'll be teaching those gladiators a lesson.
03:36Please welcome Elliot and Tyler!
03:50Elliot, welcome to the show.
03:52Please introduce yourself to the arena.
03:55I'm Elliot, I'm 40 and I'm from Devon!
03:58Now you said that the whole of your village helped you prepare for this show.
04:06How did they do that?
04:07Well, the old ladies give me lots of hugs.
04:09I had some flapjacks and I went running with old Steve.
04:12He's 75.
04:13Brilliant stuff.
04:14Now your wife I understand is a big fan of legend.
04:17Yeah, but a bit more of a fan of you though Bradley to be honest.
04:22What's her name?
04:23Zoe.
04:24Hello Zoe.
04:25Lovely to see you.
04:28Easy.
04:29Alright, now let me ask you this.
04:30If you were a gladiator, what would you be called?
04:31Viking.
04:32Yes!
04:33Absolutely!
04:34Do you think you could beat our resident Viking hammer?
04:49Yeah, I'd use him as a utensil to be honest.
04:52That is Elliot, everyone!
04:55Tyler, welcome to the show.
04:56Say hi to Sheffield for us.
04:57Hi Sheffield!
04:58I'm 30, I'm a teacher and I'm from Wigan.
04:59What age do you teach?
05:00So I teach secondary school.
05:01Okay, what did they say when you were coming on the show?
05:02A lot of them laughed saying that I was going to get beat up.
05:03But I think they know deep down that I'm going to win.
05:04Are you also a rugby player?
05:05How will the rugby help you in the show do you think?
05:07Well, I'm used to running away from big guys so this is just going to be a walk in the park.
05:08I love the confidence.
05:09Well, listen, Tyler, we wish you all the very best.
05:10That's Elliot and Tyler!
05:11Tonight's events are absolutely brutal.
05:12Oh, they really are.
05:13And I have tested every single one of them.
05:14You what?
05:15Yep.
05:16Had to make sure they were safe.
05:17I'm not going to be able to get beat up.
05:18I'm not going to be able to get beat up.
05:19I'm not going to be able to get beat up.
05:20I'm not going to be able to get beat up.
05:21I'm not going to be able to get beat up.
05:22But I think they know deep down that I'm going to win.
05:23Are you also a rugby player?
05:24How will the rugby help you in the show do you think?
05:25Well, I'm used to running away from big guys so this is just going to be a walk in the park.
05:26I love the confidence.
05:27Well, listen, Tyler, we wish you all the very best.
05:29That's Elliot and Tyler!
05:30Tonight's events are absolutely brutal.
05:35They really are.
05:39And I have tested every single one of them.
05:42You what?
05:43Yep.
05:44Had to make sure they were safe, mate.
05:45Absolutely.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Hang on.
05:48You tested on leash?
05:49Oh, yes.
05:50And Dior?
05:51Absolutely.
05:52Even the Eliminator?
05:53Of course, Barnes.
05:54Well, when they said everything was tested by dummies, I didn't realise they meant you.
05:58Time now for the first event.
06:01So disrespectful.
06:03Dior.
06:06In position.
06:07Fluffy Lollapop in hand.
06:09It's Elliot.
06:12And he's taking on Hammer.
06:15You know what time it is.
06:22Hammer is hairy, humongous, bristling with power and always ready to wreak havoc with a pugil stick.
06:33Overseeing proceedings are head referee Mark Klatenberg and his assistants, Lee Phillips and Sonya McLomer.
06:42Contender, ready!
06:45Gladiator, ready!
06:46Gladiator, ready!
06:55En garde!
06:563, 2, 1!
07:06Hammer strikes first and Elliot didn't seem ready for that.
07:10He's taking the hits now and that's one too many.
07:13Elliot's down already.
07:15But I think the referees will get involved here.
07:18Did Hammer start too soon?
07:20That's what they're looking at.
07:23No doubt Elliot took a hammering.
07:25But was the gladiator's first strike before the whistle?
07:28Well it's definitely like Battle of the Vikings up there.
07:32You both look like Nordic Gods.
07:34Hey you know this is what he gets because he's been walking round Sheffield saying his hammer.
07:38I'm the real hammer.
07:39I'm the real hammer.
07:40I'm the real hammer.
07:45Woah!
07:46There we go.
07:51I'm not pressing back.
07:56We've looked at the video.
07:57Yes.
07:58And what I can see is that hammer hit before my whistle.
08:03Oh!
08:06And therefore under the rules hammer is disqualified.
08:10I can award Elliot five points.
08:15Five points Elliot!
08:17That is Elliot and Hammer.
08:20Next on the dual podium it's Tyler.
08:26And he is up against Nitro.
08:31Nitro's dueling skills are as sharp as his moves.
08:45Those strong legs give an unshakable foundation.
08:48Ideal when on top of that podium.
08:52And it's going to be a tough foundation for Tyler to shake.
08:55Every single stat makes Nitro the favourite by far.
09:01Contender!
09:02Ready!
09:07Gladiator!
09:08Ready!
09:13En garde!
09:14Three!
09:15Two!
09:16One!
09:17Well Tyler said he needs to make sure he lasts more than three seconds on dual.
09:29So that's one ambition achieved.
09:31He's dodging Nitro nicely but maybe not now.
09:33Oh!
09:34He nearly rocked back up the edge.
09:35And a full spin from Tyler.
09:37And now Nitro gets it finished.
09:40Bash!
09:41Bosh!
09:42Bye!
09:48Wait for it.
09:49Wait for it.
09:50Wait for it.
09:51Oh!
09:52There it is.
09:53The Crusher.
09:54The Crusher he's done with one bastard.
09:56That's the day.
09:57Unfortunately, he came and he saw he got Nitro'd.
09:59But look.
10:00It's not his fault.
10:01The reason why it's not his fault is because-
10:03You see me and this pugil stick?
10:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:06We're pretty much like-
10:07We're like this.
10:08Some could say we're dance partners, you know.
10:10Oh.
10:11Even more so to the point where I'm like-
10:13Do you know what I mean, Bro?
10:14I'm just-
10:15This is me and mine so-
10:16You might want to take that and learn a few lessons.
10:18I will, yeah.
10:19I will.
10:20I've got to be honest, that's heavier than I imagine-
10:22That is Tyler and Nitro!
10:26Nitro danced away with that one, but it's a good start for Elliot.
10:30After one event, he leads Tyler 5-0.
10:35Let's meet the female contenders brave enough to battle our gladiators.
10:42My name's Ellie. I'm from Edinburgh.
10:45I'm 37 and I'm a veterinary surgeon.
10:47I now work with dogs and cats and I do orthopaedic surgery
10:51and fix fractures and deal with their bones and joints.
10:55I live in England, but my Scottish roots are really important to me.
10:59I even play the bagpipes.
11:03I've got seven nieces and nephews.
11:05When we get together, it's utter chaos.
11:12My family are really proud of me being on gladiators.
11:15When I was younger, I was diagnosed with idiopathic adolescent scoliosis,
11:18which is a curvature in your spine.
11:20For me, I've always found that exercise has been really helpful
11:23in keeping my back strong.
11:24I love it.
11:27I'm doing gladiators because I want to show people
11:29that you can do anything if you set your mind to it.
11:37My name's Millie. I'm 28 and I'm from Cleethorpes.
11:39I'm a firefighter for Humberside Fire and Rescue.
11:42Since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to be in the fire service.
11:47It's taken a hell of a long time.
11:49It took me eight years to get where I am today.
11:51I could have given up and I never did.
11:53I started CrossFit maybe about two and a half years ago.
11:57I've never felt so fit and strong.
11:59Pull the way, come on.
12:00I've been with my partner for eight years.
12:02Me and Joey train together.
12:03We do challenge each other, but it annoys me because he's stronger than me.
12:05I hate to say it, but I'm getting there. I am getting there.
12:06And we're gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn.
12:07We're gonna let it burn, burn, burn.
12:08I think being a firefighter will massively help me on gladiators.
12:10If I'm willing to run into a burning building, I'm willing to run into the gladiators.
12:27I'm here to win. I'm the strongest I've ever been. It's game on.
12:32Give a warm welcome to Ellie and Millie!
12:47Ellie, introduce yourself to Sheffield Arena.
12:50Hi, Sheffield! I'm Ellie, I'm 37, I'm a vet and I'm from Edinburgh!
12:55Yes!
12:57Now, a vet, as you say, you love animals. Would you be kind to say a big cat like Sabre?
13:04Well, some cats are fluffy and cuddly and some cats need to come to their vets to get their claws clipped.
13:10All right. Now, you actually play the bagpipes?
13:14I do. Not well, but I do play them, yeah.
13:17If you were to make it to the final, would you have a piper lead you out?
13:21I feel that's two dreams colliding, that would be incredible!
13:25All right, now, can you win?
13:27Well, it might be delusion, but yes!
13:30Great for you, another bit of confidence!
13:32Millie, everyone!
13:36Millie, welcome to the show. Introduce yourself to the arena for us.
13:40Hi, Sheffield! My name's Millie and I'm a firefighter from Cleethos!
13:44Do you reckon the skills that you've learned being a firefighter are going to help you on the show tonight?
13:50Oh, absolutely. So, you've got to be powerful, you've got to be fit, you've got to be strong, and I'm bringing it all.
13:56Nice.
13:58Listen, which gladiator do you not want to take on?
14:01Cyclone. She is absolutely incredible, but she's also so scary as well.
14:06So, Cyclone, if you see this, be nice.
14:09What about fire? Can you put her out?
14:12It's my job. Of course I can.
14:14Yeah! Fighting words!
14:16That's Ellie and Millie, everybody!
14:20Now we have our female contenders, it's time for them to take on their first event.
14:25Duel.
14:28Playing duel for the female contenders.
14:31It's Ellie!
14:35And she is facing the might of...
14:38Sabah!
14:39Let's go!
14:42Hurring onto the podium, Sabah's hungry for action.
14:54Forget doughnuts, she's got a claw set on a contender-sized snack tonight.
15:01Contender ready!
15:04Gladiator ready!
15:07Gladiator ready!
15:12En garde!
15:21Three, two, one!
15:23Whoa!
15:24Ellie regularly has to deal with troublesome cats, but none like this one.
15:29But she's made a really good start here, and Sabah already knows that she might have a work cut out in getting this done.
15:36Now she does go to work!
15:38She's raining blows down on Ellie, who's managing to absorb them.
15:42Can she land a telling strike of her own on the Gladiator?
15:46Or will she be content on going the distance and claiming five points?
15:50Because she is very, very close to doing that!
15:53Sabah's not gonna finish her up here!
15:55It's all square in the jewel of the Scots!
15:59There was simply nothing more that Sabah could have done.
16:06Ellie, exceptional!
16:08I think that helmet was the only thing keeping my head on!
16:16When you come at this cat, you're gonna get these claws.
16:19But glab your clippers, because it's time for my manicure, baby!
16:23That's Ellie and Sabah!
16:31Next on Duel, it's Millie!
16:35And she is going up against Cyclone!
16:48We know what we're getting with Cyclone!
16:51A one-woman storm that never burns out!
16:56Millie's only two inches shorter than Cyclone,
16:58but look at the difference in weight and strength!
17:01Better batten down the hatches, Millie!
17:06Contender!
17:07Ready!
17:11Gladiator!
17:12Ready!
17:16En garde!
17:21Three!
17:24Two!
17:26One!
17:28Millie absolutely did not want to face Cyclone!
17:30Caught her scary!
17:32She's right there!
17:34And Cyclone's happy to just stand there and take the hits!
17:38She's playing with the contender!
17:40But she's gotta land some blows of her own!
17:43It's a curious tactic, but it might help Millie!
17:46Cyclone, hit!
17:48I don't think Mark's words are gonna help Millie,
17:50because if Cyclone does start to hit,
17:52Millie will fall,
17:53and that's what's happened now!
17:56I think that's called playing the long game!
17:59Millie, quite frankly, looks relieved it's over!
18:03They say you should face your fears!
18:07I'm not sure Millie would agree!
18:11Are you a firefighter, no fear?
18:13What was it like staring into the eyes of Cyclone up there?
18:16Scariest thing ever!
18:19Give it up! Cyclone!
18:21And Millie!
18:24Two determined displays from the contenders,
18:26but after one event it's Advantage Ellie!
18:29She leads Millie 5-0!
18:32It's worth remembering, folks,
18:34that Gladiators is a marathon and not a sprint!
18:37Except for the next event,
18:38which is quite literally a sprint!
18:40Is it?
18:41Yeah!
18:42On your marks!
18:43Get set!
18:44It's Unleash!
18:46Unleash!
18:48It's the ultimate game of chase!
18:51The contender has a head start to make it round the track
18:53whilst being hunted by a mystery gladiator!
18:57Contenders earn ten points if they reach the end
19:00with their back tag intact
19:01and grab the hanging flag!
19:05Unleash!
19:07Track loading!
19:17In position,
19:18on the track for the male contenders,
19:20it's...
19:21Gladiators!
19:26Contender,
19:27you will go on my whistle!
19:28And then the gladiator will be unleashed!
19:31Contender,
19:32ready!
19:36Go, Elliot,
19:37go!
19:38Because here comes the gladiator
19:39and it's Apollo,
19:41who's a lot quicker than old Steve, I'm sure!
19:44Elliot round the bend,
19:45but it looks as though Apollo's got him already!
19:47And he takes the tag!
19:49Oh no!
19:50I can't remember ever seeing Unleash end that early!
19:55Apollo was an absolute rocket here!
19:59And you know what?
20:00I reckon old Steve might have caught Elliot!
20:03I've got to say that's the quickest anyone's ever been caught,
20:07before the wall!
20:08Sorry to do it to you buddy, great one!
20:10Look, I've been training so hard for this season, this event!
20:13You said to me in the interview,
20:16the whole village had come to help you!
20:19Steve, who was 75, gave you running advice!
20:22Obviously, Trevor's someone a bit younger baby!
20:27Big hand for Apollo and the brilliant Elliot!
20:32Next on the track,
20:34with no idea which gladiator he's up against,
20:37it's Tyler!
20:38Contender, you will go on my whistle!
20:39And then the gladiator will be unleashed!
20:40Contender, ready!
20:41Three, two, one!
20:42Tyler's away!
20:43Who's it going to be in hot pursuit?
20:44It's Phantom!
20:45But Tyler's looking pretty quick, he's ran the bend already!
20:48And sent to crash through the high wall!
20:52Oh didn't he just?
20:53It's no match for him!
20:54Now he has his sights set on the steps,
20:55he must take them one at a time!
20:57This might be Phantom's chance!
20:58But Tyler has a leap for the flag!
21:02And misses it, would you believe!
21:04And Tyler has a leap for the flag!
21:06And misses it!
21:07Would you believe?
21:09And this is the final goal!
21:12Oh, I am going to be the final goal!
21:16Would you believe maximum points for Tyler only just out of reach?
21:23Well, the gladiators will have noted this for later. Tyler very very fast not very very tall
21:31You are so quick
21:33You're a winger of rugby, right? So that definitely came into play. Yeah, I just need to catch a flag instead of a bar
21:41Phantom quick guy, right?
21:43And he's more than quick. I think he's the quickest guy we've had by saying that I'll get you next time mate
21:50Phantom you were quick but Tyler you were quick and that's five points to Tyler everybody
21:56Tyler's so close to ten points, but look at that. He's closed the gap and now Elliot and Tyler both have five
22:04Time now for the female contenders. It's Ellie
22:07And then the gladiator will be unleashed contender
22:21Ellie is off and running
22:24And here comes electro who is a rapid charger
22:27Over the hurdle made sure she didn't stumble Ellie has a good distance between herself and the gladiator
22:33Oh, but that was awkward. That's a big crash into the wall a look behind her tells her that electro is coming
22:40She can't afford a single mistake on the steps
22:43Just evading electro just the flag now. Oh dear me
22:47Ellie was flying round just didn't fly high enough to take the flag
22:56A dramatic unleash it looked as though it might be game over for Ellie there, but what a response fingertips away from 10 points
23:06I come to electro you look like some of the time you were tick-toeing around the edge frightened of losing your footing
23:12Well, you see with this game. Yeah, it's one of them ones
23:14You got a pat in it early from the beginning. Otherwise, it's a flop. That's kind of what happened to me a little bit
23:21What does that even mean I have no idea what any of that means
23:25Say it in old people's language, please
23:27You've got to execute the ting early Brad. Do you know what I mean?
23:29Yeah sick
23:32Go wild there for Ellie and electro
23:39Next on the track, it's Millie
23:46Contender you will go on my whistle and then the gladiator will be unleashed contender ready
23:53I'm not sure Millie was entirely ready
24:00A hesitant start and here comes diamond
24:04It's a debut on unleash and she will want to quickly catch the contender
24:09Millie approaching the wall. This is where the problems can happen
24:12It's a bit of a stumble through a clear route for diamond, but she slipped and that gives millie safe passage up the steps
24:21Now for the all-important leap and she claims the flag ten points for millie
24:31Diamond well and truly polished off by a terrific run from maximum millie
24:36You got the flag that's ten points
24:42Is that scary not seeing who's coming out the smoke yeah petrifying
24:47Diamond this is your first time playing unleash how do you find it amazing it's because our legs are just too long
24:52Yeah, but she's so quick she's so good
24:55That is millie and diamond
25:00Unleash was unreal for millie it's brought a level with ellie on ten points each
25:05Now it's time for the contenders to take on
25:08destruction
25:12Two contenders and one gladiator in a race through four solid barriers each barrier must be tackled differently and with a head start contenders must smash
25:23ram
25:24Climb and crash their way to reach the central button
25:28First there picks up ten points the second scores five
25:31Five if the gladiator reigns supreme the runner-up gets five and the last nothing but dust and defeat
25:38Destruction
25:42Red
25:43Activating
25:45Three
25:46Two
25:47One
25:57Playing destruction for the male contenders in red it's elliot
26:04And in blue it's tyler
26:09And they are smashing against giant
26:22Mountain of muscle giant has been building his strengths in school watch contenders crumble and barriers battered on his destruction debut
26:31Contenders ready
26:45Contenders you will go on my first whistle
26:49Gladiator you will go on my second whistle
26:53Three
26:54Two
26:55One
26:57Elliot's in the red Tyler's in the blue
27:01And now here comes giant and he's crashed through the human battering ram picks up the battering ram and sets about barrier number two
27:11It's proving a difficult barrier to break through but tyler's managed it here comes elliot
27:16He's got some ground to make up oh and here comes giant only just behind he'll need to kick and punch his footholds quickly
27:23Doesn't look as though tyler needs any he's hauled himself up and over barrier number three
27:29But giant's right behind tyler can he break through number four first time giant bounces off
27:35Tyler might have got enough of the gap here he's through it gets to the button first and giant follows him
27:42Where's elliot left way behind it's ten points for tyler
27:51Crash bang wallop teacher tyler a class act in destruction
27:56That was amazing
27:58He actually beat giant to the button yeah that's my game that brad
28:02I was having a joke with him saying that his hole is going to be bigger than mine so just had to make it work
28:08Giant that event looks like it's made for you how do you find this
28:12Mate it's amazing fantastic game and he was always going to be quick you know look at him
28:17He's built for power and those tackles got a good set of gnashes on him as well so couldn't have been too nice
28:23And i think um elliot was still potting plants behind door number four
28:27Ten points to tyler everybody
28:29absolutely brilliant giant praise for terrific tyler and his teeth he's on 15 points to elliot's five
28:39playing destruction for the female contenders in red it's ellie
28:44And in blue it's millie
28:51And they are going to be taking on fire
29:00With skill blazing speed and strength fire's ready to rip her way through destruction namaste
29:08Contenders you will go on my first whistle gladiator you will go on my second whistle
29:30three two one
29:32It's ellie in the red millie in the blue and millie having a bit of a problem with barrier number one
29:40Ellie's already on barrier number two and so is fire who has started as though she really means business here
29:47I don't think barrier two will last long
29:49No, there's a gap there now and fire will crawl through and she'll go into the league where are our contenders
29:56Ellie gets through finally takes a first hit at number three
30:01Millie is catching up on ellie now
30:05But i don't think there'll be any catching fire at this stage
30:08She is over number three and ready to set about the ultra resistant for farrier
30:16This has been phenomenal from fire she has blazed her way through the destruction course
30:22And he's going to get to the button first in emphatic style
30:27Now it's about the race for five points for the contenders
30:31Millie's only just over barrier three
30:35That fourth barrier is extra tough and at the moment it is advantage ellie
30:41She's crashing into barrier four repeatedly oh and millie's on her now millie might have a chance
30:46This would be a remarkable comeback and she has gone through five points for millie
30:56Fire ripped through the course with such ferocity leaving the contenders to thrash it out in a race for second place
31:05This is a new event like how did you find yourselves getting through those barriers was that tricky but yeah
31:10It's tough it's gassy yeah ellie what about you um i know i lost but i absolutely loved that that was amazing it was such an energy
31:21Well look fire got there first which means that millie you got five points ellie unfortunately you got zero points
31:27But congratulations to both of you i think you did a stellar job there
31:30Yeah
31:32That was an extraordinary display it really was you were like a knife through a butter that game is absolutely
31:40amazing
31:44And this one said that she fights fires for a living she wasn't afraid of me
31:48The only thing that you actually most destroyed was like my lipstick
31:51But that is a fire everyone and
32:00And millie's made up too she's edged ahead of ellie and leads by 15 points to 10
32:07Barnes yes what is sweaty stressed and gradually losing their grip is it you correct three points no no it's our contenders playing
32:14Hang tough
32:19On the rings for the bell contenders it's tyler
32:24And he's gonna be taking on legend
32:27Evangelists dream hang tough opponent is danny devito but big doesn't always beat little you show him tyler
32:45and tough not always about speed as legend beckons for tyler to come to him
33:08it's all about strategy and strength with this
33:11and maybe just hanging on to those red zone rings to get five points isn't the worst possible move
33:18getting all the way across for 10 well that's a stretch legend stretches out his legs and makes
33:25contact with tyler but he wasn't close enough for a full lock he's getting closer all the time though
33:30and tyler looks as though he's worried and now he's in trouble he's wriggling but legend has got him
33:36and he won't let go the question is will tyler it's a real battle up there but the end is coming
33:44and it is all over for tyler wrestled down by legend's leggends
33:50well legend locked on but look how high his legs were is that allowed
33:56here comes the ref in you come ref
33:59any second he's here now he's coming the ref is on his way
34:05oh you're there sorry legend take this as a warning
34:11you deliberately tackled high with your feet therefore that's not allowed take that as a
34:17warning next time you will be out
34:18just a warning i think that was bang out of all the tactic actually
34:23did he hurt you no i thought he'd be stronger to be fair
34:26oh here we go the thing is tyrone is it what's your name again i'm joking no one cares what your name is
34:40last time i checked you're a contender on my show
34:47so listen enjoy your five seconds of fame
34:53but remember i will literally always be better than you
34:59next it's elliot
35:07and he's swinging against steel
35:13steel flies into hang tough for the very first time
35:24and he'll be hoping for a stainless start
35:27once again it's time to start swinging
35:47a patient start from elliot as a gardener
35:50he'll be happy to grow into this slowly and flower at the finish
35:54but he's not blossoming just yet he's struggling to get momentum on those rings
35:59and steel
36:01is closing in
36:02elliot's seen him and has started to go backwards i'm not sure that's a good idea
36:06he's got to at least move into the red rings if he's going to get any points from this
36:11steel's first go is defended by our contender
36:15and the second using his knees and his feet
36:18but he's got to use his arms
36:19he's got to move and get away from steel if he possibly can
36:23and now steel's got a hold of his vest
36:25and he has elliot in his full metal jacket
36:28between them that's 200 kilos hanging from those rings
36:33something has to give
36:35surely gravity will win
36:38and elliot falls
36:39well he struggled from the start but for a while elliot showed an iron grip
36:48with steel hanging off him
36:49his grip strength is incredible
36:53that's all it's about
36:56giving it everything you've got
36:57yeah come on
36:58come on
36:59were you nervous when you saw steel was up against you
37:03not particularly
37:04you know i got a tug of war guys is just as big as him
37:07see him every day but credit to him he's a machine
37:10he's not called the man of steel for nothing right guys
37:12yeah
37:16yeah
37:17that's elliot and steel
37:20dude that was a sticky moment though
37:24i know what you're gonna say
37:25you're around that waistline yeah you're hugging those shorts tight
37:28yeah i know you're mr nice guy
37:30would you have let go if they were gonna come down
37:31no way
37:32if they ran his ankles i was holding on
37:35i was climbing back up the legs
37:37there's no chance
37:38he's going off those rings no matter what
37:41shorts or no shorts
37:43exactly
37:44hangtough was tough
37:47no score for either contender
37:49means it's still tyler who leads 15-5
37:52hoping to hangtough
37:54it's melee
37:56who's swinging against
37:58thiene
38:00nobody saws through the sheffield skies quite like a thiene on hangtough
38:15She's never lost in this event
38:34Undefeated Athena always ready to take on the hand tough rings
38:39But Millie is a really good crossfit all-rounder and should have all the right attributes to give her a really good contest
38:45She certainly looks more than confident up there
38:49Really good action swinging from ring to ring from gladiator and contender who withstands the first attack
38:55And now Athena is a little bit out of control
38:58She's spinning and the rings have got tangled up and look at the excitement of the arena because all of Millie's friends and family know
39:06She has potentially got an uncontested route across here
39:11Two more swings might do it
39:13Athena has sorted herself out
39:15She's coming to try and get back at our contender
39:19Who has dropped to the podium and gets maximum points
39:24Oh, she's had a swinging time
39:29Athena left in a spin and beaten on hand tough for the first time ever and Millie made it happen
39:35That was extraordinary. I mean you absolutely wrong-footed the gladiator. How do you feel?
39:41Yeah, I thought she had me. I genuinely thought she had me, but yeah amazing. It felt great
39:48Athena, we saw you trying to untwist yourself there
39:51Yeah, it was definitely I think it was almost an audition for Strictly Come Dancing there
39:55Once I was in that spin, I knew I was in trouble. Thank you so much
39:59Ten points for Millie and Athena
40:03Next on the rings, it's Ellie
40:07And she is up against Fury
40:10A furious tackler, a serious sled puller
40:21And Fury is always ready to slay the opposition
40:24Sorry, not sorry
40:26Contender, ready
40:30Gladiator, ready
40:33Gladiator, ready
40:35Gladiator, ready
40:373, 2, 1
40:41So it's Fury against Ellie
40:47Both having a good long look at each other before starting
40:50Fury clearly tried to vet her opponent
40:53Ellie doesn't look in total control
40:56A bit of a glitch there
40:58Whilst Fury glides across the rings
41:01And is already just about within touching distance
41:04Ellie's got herself into the red zone
41:07Staying there, a completely different proposition
41:10Looks as though it's all too much for some of her supporters
41:13And it'll prove too much for Ellie very quickly
41:16First one hand
41:18Then none
41:19Then the floor
41:21Ellie reaching out in vain
41:24Not the first to find Hangtuff too tough
41:31Ellie, you gave it a serious go there
41:33I mean, you got into the red zone
41:34But just couldn't hang on
41:35I was trying to channel my inner orangutan
41:38But it didn't quite work out for me, guys
41:41And Fury, I've got to say
41:42We haven't seen you Hangtuff since Series 1
41:44You've come back on Hangtuff for Series 3
41:46That was clinical
41:48I've got to be honest
41:49My heart was thumping
41:51I just wanted to get across
41:53But contact is what I do best
41:55And I thought as soon as I get my eyes on Summit
41:57You're going down
41:58That's Ellie and Fury
42:00A massive result for Millie extends her lead
42:05After four events, she's got 25 points to Ellie's 10
42:08This next event is one contender versus five gladiators
42:14Is it fair?
42:15No
42:16Is it medically safe?
42:17Absolutely not
42:18Is it amazing to watch?
42:19You betcha
42:20This is...
42:21Gauntlet!
42:23Gauntlet
42:25Daring to take on the Gauntlet
42:27It's Elliot
42:28And we will be facing these fearsome five
42:35Bionic
42:37Legend
42:38Apollo
42:39Viper
42:40And Phantom
42:41What a terrifying troop to face on Gauntlet
42:46Contenders will need real mastery to get past these mighty gladiators
42:50Viper loves to sink his teeth into Gauntlet
42:54His volatile and vicious nature makes him an unpredictable threat
42:58Contenders beware
43:00Fast and furious
43:02More like fast and fearless
43:04With Bionic's power and speed
43:06You always get a blockbuster performance
43:08Contender ready!
43:12Gladiators ready!
43:183
43:212
43:221
43:24Elliot needs the points
43:25It's got to be a successful run through the Gauntlet
43:28He is successfully past Viper
43:30And Mark Klanberg tells Phantom to let go
43:34To allow Elliot to continue with his journey
43:36Which takes him past Legend into Zone 4
43:39Apollo off balance
43:41He's been beaten just by Oli to get through now
43:44And Elliot goes all the way
43:46Oh he needed that!
43:48Maximum!
43:50Elliot's best event yet
43:52Outmanoeuvring the gladiators
43:54Until he cleared all five zones
43:56Brilliant performance I've got to say
43:59You must be thrilled with that
44:00These guys
44:01They're strong man
44:02Legend
44:03How did you find that?
44:04Oh here we go
44:06I've got to say Brad
44:08He's a big guy
44:09Very strong
44:11And he's incredibly attractive
44:15Is what Elliot's wife was thinking
44:17Watching me out there
44:19Zoe
44:21You have to join the queue like everyone else mate
44:25And that's the big queue
44:27I think you can find I'm in Zoe's better books than you
44:31Thank you very much
44:33Thank you very much
44:35The gladiators got more importantly
44:37Elliot ten pints
44:39And next to run the gauntlet
44:45It is Tyler
44:47Contender
44:51Freddie
44:53Gladiators
44:57Freddie
44:59Three
45:01Two
45:02One
45:03Rugby playing Tyler should be made for this event
45:06And look at the way he easily dodges Viper
45:08And gets past Phantom
45:10And he's away from Legend too
45:12And it is on fire
45:13A desperate throw from Legend
45:15But nothing can stop Tyler
45:18Goodness me that was rapid
45:23The gauntlet torn apart by Tyler the Tornado
45:28That entire gauntlet was done in ten seconds
45:35That's phenomenal
45:36You have to bring your air game against these guys
45:38So that's what I did
45:40Bionic how's he for you?
45:41I've got to say
45:43That was the most impressive content I've ever seen on gauntlets
45:46So fair enough mate
45:49Big words from Bionic
45:50As Tyler finishes with 25 points
45:53To Elliot's 15
45:54That could make all the difference in the eliminator
45:57Taking on the gauntlet for the female contenders
46:02It's Ellie
46:06And she's up against the power of
46:08Diamond
46:10Fury
46:11Comet
46:12Dynamite
46:13And
46:14Cyclone
46:19A truly sensational group of gladiators
46:22Trying to push contenders to their limits
46:24Lightning fast and packed with strength
46:28Dynamite is always an explosive opponent
46:33Comet finally lands in gauntlet
46:35Ready to shine with her gymnastic precision
46:38And flawless composure
46:39Contender
46:44Ready
46:45Gladiators
46:49Ready
46:50Three
46:51Two
46:52One
46:53And Ellie is away
46:54Collides with Diamond but gets through and flies past Fury
46:57Or she's shot past Comet and dodged Dynamite
46:59That's a big hit from Cyclone though
47:00Really good spin from Ellie
47:01And she's over the line
47:02Ten points
47:03Congratulations
47:16That was a fantastic performance
47:18Didn't think you were going to make it past Cyclone in the end
47:21She is such a strong woman
47:23And I tell you what
47:24The caller Cyclone
47:25I was in the eye of the storm there
47:26Oh my god
47:27Yeah
47:28You really were
47:29But I've got to say
47:30That's a brilliant performance
47:31Ten points for Ellie everybody
47:33And next to run the gauntlet
47:37It's Millie
47:38Contender
47:43Ready
47:44Gladiators
47:47Ready
47:48Three
47:51Two
47:52One
47:53What can Millie do in reply to Ellie
47:57Diamond is causing her a real problem
47:59But she's got a hold of her with her arm
48:01And that's why Mark Clannber's got involved
48:05Now for Fury
48:06And that is a monster tackle from Fury
48:09And the referee has called a halt
48:13This is why Gladiator and Contender grappling with one another
48:18I'm going to warn the both of you
48:20Fury
48:21Millie
48:22Not to use your arms
48:23It's not a game of rugby
48:24It's a game of gauntlet
48:25Ooh
48:26Cold
48:27But crystal clear Mark
48:29Millie
48:30You have nine seconds remaining
48:34Three
48:35Two
48:36One
48:37Nine seconds
48:38Not a lot of time to get past Fury
48:41Comet
48:42Dynamite
48:43And then at the very end of it all it's Cyclone
48:46And Time and Cyclone both against Millie
48:52Millie manages a smile
48:54But that was a bruising encounter
48:56First a hit from Fury
48:58And then one to finish from Cyclone
49:00From Cyclone
49:01Ouch
49:03That was a very controversial gauntlet
49:05Lots of holding there
49:06What was going on there?
49:07I mean I think we just both got into it
49:09We were both going out hard
49:10And then obviously got a bit carried away
49:12Yeah
49:13So I do apologise
49:14And then got to the end there
49:15I mean Cyclone you held her off brilliantly
49:17The girls did most of the work for me
49:19The girls did most of the work for me
49:20So fair play to them
49:21But if we hit you hard
49:23It's a compliment
49:24Yeah
49:25You take it
49:26That's eight points for Millie
49:28Thank you to Millie and the Gladiators
49:33So there we have it
49:35It'll be Advantage Millie and the Eliminator
49:3733 points to Ellie's 20
49:41And now it is time for the moment
49:43Our contenders have been dreading
49:45You're going to do the next bit naked
49:46I wish
49:47Well thank goodness for that
49:48Because it's time for
49:50The Eliminator
49:52The Eliminator
49:55Here it is
49:56The final challenge
49:57Any points advantage
49:58Any points advantage
49:59Now converts into a head start
50:00Tyler is ten points clear of Elliot
50:02And with each point worth half a second
50:04He's earned a five second lead
50:09Contenders
50:10Ready
50:13Tyler
50:14You will go on my first whistle
50:16Elliot
50:17You will go on my second whistle
50:19Three
50:20Two
50:21One
50:22Two
50:23One
50:24Tyler sets off quickly
50:25One thing we've discovered from tonight
50:27Is that Tyler does everything very quickly indeed
50:31Now away goes Elliot
50:32And that was a really difficult landing over the first obstacle
50:37Unorthodox Elliot but at least he's on his way
50:40Tyler absolutely flying across the overhead ladders
50:43And Elliot
50:44A tug of war enthusiast
50:46Struggling with the rope
50:48Would you believe that?
50:50Tyler's lead still a very healthy one as he commences the cargo net climb
50:56All of his pupils back in Wigan will be willing him on
51:00Where's Elliot?
51:01Just swinging across of the trapeze very carefully indeed
51:05He's only just at the bottom of the net as Tyler runs across to the zip wire
51:09Is there any way that Elliot can haul himself back into contention?
51:14Only the beam and the travelator to go for Tyler
51:18Now the beam is a lot more difficult this series
51:21He's got to be careful on that downward stretch
51:23And make sure his feet touch the red parts of the beam
51:27He did that didn't he?
51:28He did that with ease
51:29How about the travelator?
51:30There's a hop, a skip, but a surge to the top
51:34And Tyler is going to walk to the finish
51:37And swing through to the quarterfinals
51:41Team Tyler celebrates
51:43He has been fantastic tonight
51:46Now what about Elliot?
51:47Remember, the fastest runners up will have a chance at a place in the quarterfinals
51:52A big stride to complete the beam
51:55That was expertly done by Elliot
51:56Now for that iconic travelator
51:59Look at the determination etched across Elliot's face
52:03Down he goes
52:05But Zoe, Solomon and Lola still believe
52:08Can our Devon Gardner dig deep one last time and get himself up there?
52:13Elliot's done it
52:15Now he has to keep his fingers crossed
52:18That he's been fast enough to give us the chance to see him again
52:22Well, Tyler seized his head start and never looked back
52:27But Elliot showed real heart and courage
52:29He was determined to make it to the finish
52:32I've got to say, you have been fantastic today
52:38You really, really have
52:39Have you enjoyed it?
52:41Oh, it's made my dreams come true, so thank you
52:43You must have heard everyone cheering your name on it
52:45And the roar for you mate
52:46Seriously Elliot, it was amazing
52:47Well, I wouldn't have done it without them, so thanks everyone
52:51Elliot everyone
52:53Great contender
52:55Tyler!
52:56You're in the quarterfinals of Gladiators
52:59Yes, come on
53:01Oh, what an experience
53:03I'm just glad I get to come back again
53:05Amazing
53:06Hardest part?
53:07The cargo net
53:08It's tough, it's tough on the body
53:10Well, you got through it mate
53:12It's Tyler everybody, our quarterfinalist
53:13Yes
53:14Come and see your families
53:16That is Tyler and Elliot everyone
53:26Now for the female contenders
53:28Millie's 13 points ahead of Ellie
53:30Which gives her a six and a half second head start
53:33As they race for a spot in the quarterfinals
53:38Contenders, ready!
53:40Millie, you were going my first whistle
53:46Ellie, you were going my second whistle
53:49Three
53:50Two
53:51One
53:53So away she goes
53:54It is advantage to Millie from Klee Forbes
53:57And now Ellie from Edinburgh will start the big chase
54:01Athletically over that
54:03As Millie just struggles a little bit on the rope
54:05She's swinging helplessly there just for a second
54:08Oh, look at this!
54:09The gap has closed already
54:11Millie will sense that
54:13But can't afford to glance over her shoulder
54:16That was a little look
54:17But she's got to focus on what's in front of her
54:19That's the trapeze
54:21Ellie is closing all the time here
54:24Just one or two problems unclipping
54:26As Millie jumps onto the cargo net and starts the climb
54:30That's the view from Ellie Cam
54:32And there's now nothing between them
54:33Remember at the start there was a six and a half seconds lead for Millie
54:39Ellie is now level with her
54:41Who's going to get to the top of the net the fastest?
54:44It's Ellie!
54:46She's overtaken Millie, I can't believe this
54:48It is a stunning performance from Ellie we're seeing
54:51Millie is clearly tiring
54:54Whilst Ellie is literally flying
54:55Even finding the chance to have a look back to see if Millie's got herself started yet on the zip wire
55:02Here she is and now for the two toughest tests of the Eliminator
55:07That beam is tricky, look at the wobble there from Ellie
55:11And Millie is skipping her way into the lead again
55:14There's nothing in it as they take on the Trevelator without a second thought
55:17Oh Millie can't get there with Ellie already down
55:21And it'll be take two, still neck and neck
55:26What have they got left?
55:28Who's got the strength to get to the top of the Trevelator first?
55:32It's Ellie!
55:34What a terrific comeback win!
55:36An epic Eliminator that swung one way and then the other
55:45Two outstanding contenders
55:50Millie lost her advantage on the net
55:53Ellie surged clear
55:55But the Trevelator proved the great equaliser
55:57And after slips from both
55:59It was Ellie who fought her way through to the quarterfinals
56:03Millie, you absolutely gave it everything up there
56:07You're so out of breath I can tell
56:09Yeah, it was difficult
56:12But Ellie absolutely shines at the Eliminator
56:15She's incredible
56:17Did you feel her coming up there behind you?
56:20Did you feel a bit of panic set in?
56:22As soon as you get on the net
56:24As soon as Ellie jumped on it made it a lot harder
56:26Right, well look, you absolutely gave it your all
56:29That's Millie everybody
56:30Is extraordinary
56:34Ellie, how do you feel?
56:36I'm in shock
56:38Millie is an amazing contender
56:40She's so strong, she's incredible
56:42I was just doing my best
56:44I have to say, I got rope burn in a place you should never get rope burn
56:48So that was pretty traumatic, but it was worth it
56:51When you get put down, you get back up again and you keep trying
56:54Absolutely brilliant stuff
56:56You, Ellie, are through to the quarterfinals!
56:58Go and see your friends and family, go then, congratulations
57:04Give it up, Millie and Ellie!
57:12Wow! Extraordinary scenes in the arena here tonight, don't you think?
57:15Yeah, incredible, yeah
57:18What are you doing?
57:20Giant asked me to help him with his laundry and I'm just folding his pants
57:24And you shrunk him?
57:26Yeah, he used to do that to my jumpers and all
57:28Anyway, see you next time on Gladiators!
57:31Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
57:35Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
57:39Do you have the will and the skill?
57:44Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
57:49It's not for beginners
57:50It's not for beginners
57:53Get down in your soul
57:56Are you a gladiator?
57:58Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:00Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:01Yeah, that's why
58:03You must have a free Championostat
58:05And you can aim to stay
