00:00:00Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:26It's time for beginners, get down in your soul
00:00:32Are you a creator?
00:00:56Are you a gladiator?
00:01:06Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh!
00:01:10Thank you so much, welcome to Gladiators!
00:01:28Wow!
00:01:31The atmosphere in the arena is electric
00:01:34Bulging muscles, eye-popping intensity, ferocious competitiveness
00:01:38And that was just a coup to get in
00:01:40I mean Maureen over there had a security guard in the headlock
00:01:43Put him down Maureen, what's the matter with you?
00:01:46Time to be the first of tonight's contenders
00:01:49I'm Gail, I'm 32 years old and I work as a farmer in Scotland
00:01:56My day begins at 4.30 in the morning
00:01:59We milk over 230 cattle
00:02:02The milk then goes into our family business
00:02:05Where we create our very own luxury dairy ice cream
00:02:08Using our very own cow's milk
00:02:10Growing up on a farm, you developed a strong work ethic
00:02:14I train six times a week
00:02:17I would say I developed my strength
00:02:19From carrying two massive 20-litre pails every day
00:02:23We call that the real farmer's carry
00:02:27My family are ecstatic
00:02:28Especially my nieces and nephews
00:02:31One of my nieces calls me Auntie Muscles
00:02:33So I can't wait to show her what Auntie Muscles can really do
00:02:42My name's Emily Bell
00:02:43Hello, I'm Emily Bell
00:02:45I'm 22 years old
00:02:46I live in the south of Londres
00:02:47And I work in sales looking at the French and Spanish markets
00:02:52I graduated last year from the University of Cambridge
00:02:55With a degree in French and Spanish
00:02:57Where people are like, how many languages do you speak?
00:02:58I'm like, English
00:02:59Oh, French and Spanish
00:03:00She's like, oh yeah, am I fluent?
00:03:02Or I've got a degree in it, so I should be
00:03:03And then I did Catalan in my second year of uni
00:03:06And then I did sign language
00:03:09I think of a fate rugby finding me
00:03:11But I genuinely think it is such a great sport for everyone to do
00:03:14In terms of like strength, speed
00:03:16And one thing especially in the women's game
00:03:18Is you need every single body type
00:03:20And it's just a great community
00:03:21I think my family are quite excited
00:03:23It's quite cool
00:03:24I'm excited to get the little cousins
00:03:26And sort of cheer me on
00:03:27I'm not one for cockiness
00:03:30But I'm here for a reason, aren't I?
00:03:33Speed, strength, agility, power
00:03:35May the best woman win
00:03:37Please welcome Gail and Emily

00:04:00Hello Sheffield

00:04:03I'm 32
00:04:04I'm a dairy farmer
00:04:05From Ayrshire in Scotland
00:04:10How have you set yourself up to Gladiators?
00:04:11Do you train a lot?
00:04:12So I train in the gym six times a week
00:04:14But the real strength happens on the farm
00:04:17This isn't just gym strength
00:04:18This is farming strength
00:04:21I love it
00:04:23Can you win Gladiators?
00:04:26Of course I can
00:04:27Nobody is mentally tougher than me

00:04:51You studied languages at Cambridge
00:04:53My question to you is
00:04:54Do you have the brawn as well?
00:04:56I'd say I'm a triple threat
00:04:57We got brains
00:04:58We got brawn
00:04:59And we got beauty
00:05:01Nice
00:05:02Well, we wish you well
00:05:04That's Gail and Emily
00:05:06Brilliant
00:05:10Recently
00:05:11The standard has been below five
00:05:13We've got a plan
00:05:18I'm sure I mean
00:05:19It probably makes sense
00:05:20Any questions
00:05:21Go
00:05:22Glission
00:05:23You're swinging off both bridges?
00:05:24Bridge to bridge, yeah
00:05:25Wow
00:05:26And we've unleashed you just
00:05:27You've been doing laps
00:05:30And then you just get put in
00:05:31Yeah
00:05:32Yeah
00:05:33You made it
00:05:34You made it
00:05:35You made it
00:05:36Come on, South
00:05:38Mass out of the 12
00:05:39That's what I look
00:05:40No
00:05:43First up is one of Gladiators' biggest hits
00:05:46Most hits are normally on the bunts
00:05:50This is
00:05:51Jewel
00:05:54Jewel
00:05:58On the Jewel podium
00:06:00For the female contenders
00:06:01It's Gail
00:06:06And she is facing
00:06:08Fury
00:06:12An intimidating sight for anyone
00:06:16Fury lives up to her name in duel
00:06:18With only one contender
00:06:19Having ever gone the distance
00:06:24Keeping a watchful eye on this evening's events
00:06:26Is our referees team
00:06:27Of Sonya McLomer
00:06:28Lee Phillips
00:06:29And as always
00:06:30Big Mark Klattenberg
00:06:33Contender
00:06:34Ready
00:06:38Gladiator
00:06:39Ready
00:06:40En garde
00:06:42En garde
00:06:43En garde
00:06:523, 2, 1
00:06:53Gail looks ready
00:06:54And she's got off to a really good start here
00:06:55Fury wobbling a little
00:06:56And rock backwards
00:06:57But now it's Gail who looks set to tumble
00:06:59And down she goes
00:07:00It didn't last long at all
00:07:01Gail was determined to milk her time on the podium
00:07:03But was left looking a little pale
00:07:05Ah Gail I'm gutted for you now I thought with your farm strength you might be able to hold yourself on duel but up against Fury
00:07:16I know
00:07:18Fury is no joke
00:07:19Fury this is your game
00:07:20Ah I love it
00:07:21It's like a boxing match innit
00:07:22That first hit you got me head
00:07:23I thought you were gonna knock me straight off but good battle though
00:07:27Absolutely it was a good battle
00:07:28That's Gail and Fury
00:07:29And that's Gail and Fury
00:07:30Ah Geail and Fury
00:07:32Fury this is your game. Oh, I love it. It's like a boxing match in it that first hit you got me
00:07:38I thought you're gonna knock me straight off, but good battle though. Absolutely. It was a good battle. That's Gail and Fury
00:07:47Next to duel it's Emily
00:07:51And she is up against Cyclone
00:08:02There's a cyclone coming she's beaten all comers on duel, so Emily will need to find a way to weather the storm
00:08:18Gladiator
00:08:32Three
00:08:34Two
00:08:35Well, we know what's coming with cyclone a slow start though. She's sizing up her opponent now. She's got Emily wobbling
00:08:43But mark clandberg quite rightly says no that's pushing
00:08:47And he's warning cyclone again. He's on the ball tonight his mom and it all helps emily's cause
00:08:55A third warning for cyclone. She seems rattled by that. She can't get swinging
00:08:59It's as though she doesn't know what to do up there
00:09:02And emily is going to be the first contender ever to go the distance with cyclone
00:09:14Emily hit as hard as she could it barely touched cyclone, but it stopped cyclone from swinging. She never got started
00:09:22That was a fantastic performance. How did you feel?
00:09:25She told me you've already lost and she was barking in my face, so I don't remember that loss. Yeah
00:09:33Well done to you, cyclone. What have you got to say?
00:09:39They're doing a lot of this, but if you make it to the quarters, I'll be there
00:09:51Cyclone's mood dampened but a stunning start for Emily after the first event she leads Gale 5-0
00:09:56It's time for the male contenders. Let's see who's brave enough to battle our gladiators
00:10:03My name's Mark Billings. I'm a PE teacher in Essex and I'm 38 years old
00:10:08I'm out every single day teaching children how to do a variety of different sports and having fun
00:10:12Clear to throw. Yeah, some great throws there. The children probably say a teacher that joins in way too much
00:10:19Up kick up. I have the dream job
00:10:21At home I have my beautiful wife Kelly and then I have my son Thomas and then my daughter Ava love their sports
00:10:30Sport and fitness is incredible for just alleviating daily stresses
00:10:35My brother passed away over three years ago and that massively impacted me in a way that I can't even describe to
00:10:41Mama said don't give up
00:10:44I didn't think anxiety was a thing until I had it. I have a lot of friends that I train with
00:10:48I think it helps us as a group of men with our mental health the fact that we have
00:10:52that release and just meeting and talking to each other as well makes a massive difference
00:10:59The reason that I really wanted to do gladiators is I want to show children a challenge is a good thing
00:11:03There's a real buzz around it a real real buzz
00:11:15My name is Jason Melrose. I'm 40 years young. I'm a gym owner from the land of the gods Newcastle
00:11:22So I've had my gym now since 2018
00:11:25And our mission statement is to make people a bigger fit a faster stronger version of themselves
00:11:29I've also got a group of kids who literally light up the room competing against you that even they
00:11:36tell them a million times the warm-up isn't a competition they're running backwards and forwards
00:11:40bouncing off the walls that they're so infectious they're great
00:11:46I was a wrestler with the WWE got to travel the world I got to wrestle some of the biggest names in
00:11:52wrestling wrestling character was the primate
00:11:55A half man half gorilla didn't speak a word of English grunted and growled a lot like a Geordie
00:12:03so it wasn't too hard to get into character
00:12:06Every single cell in my body knows I'm gonna win and I will win
00:12:11The primary is on the hunt
00:12:13The gladiators you are the hunted
00:12:18Give it up for mark and Jason
00:12:25Welcome to the show, Mark.
00:12:33Great to see you, mate.
00:12:35Please introduce yourself to Sheffield.
00:12:37Hi, Sheffield. I'm Mark.
00:12:39I'm 38 years old, and I'm a PE teacher from Essex.
00:12:43Yes! Come on!
00:12:46Let me ask you this.
00:12:47Are any of your pupils in tonight cheering you on?
00:12:49Yeah, there's a few students up there tonight.
00:12:52Oh, brilliant. Lovely to see you. Welcome.
00:12:54Now, let me ask you this.
00:12:56Why are you doing Gladiators?
00:12:58Why are you on this show?
00:13:01The main reason is my two little beautiful children over there,
00:13:03Thomas and Ava, but a big one for me is we see a lot of children today
00:13:07that are scared to take that step forward,
00:13:09scared to do something because they're scared of failing.
00:13:11And for me, I'm coming on a show like this,
00:13:13I'm going to get knocked down, I'm going to lose at times,
00:13:15but it's about picking yourself up
00:13:16and trying things that you're scared of doing.
00:13:21That is fantastic, I've got to say.
00:13:22Let's hear it from Mark.
00:13:27Jason, welcome to the show.
00:13:28Introduce yourself to the arena.
00:13:30My name's Jason, I'm a gym owner,
00:13:33and from Land of the Gods, Newcastle!
00:13:38Oh, wow.
00:13:39You certainly know to get the crowd hyped up.
00:13:41Oh, I'll tell you what, it's me second name,
00:13:43Crowd Pleaser.
00:13:44Crowd Pleaser.
00:13:46And now, listen, you're here on Gladiators,
00:13:48you used to watch the original as a kid, right?
00:13:50Yeah, yeah, me and me family, dad, you sit on the sofa,
00:13:52jumping around, sweat dripping from everywhere,
00:13:55but now I'm here, more importantly, on Gladiators!
00:13:58Yes, you are!
00:13:59Jason, I wish you all the very best of luck, mate.
00:14:02Show some love for Mark and Jason!
00:14:06So those are tonight's male contenders,
00:14:08and it's time for their first event.
00:14:11Duel.
00:14:15Playing duel for the male contenders,
00:14:18it's Mark.
00:14:20And he is facing the might of...
00:14:23Phantom.
00:14:24I'm going in for the kill.
00:14:29Phantom is a nightmare for any contender on that podium.
00:14:33Eight duels, eight wins.
00:14:35He wants to make Mark number nine.
00:14:37I'm standing...
00:14:38Contender, ready!
00:14:44Gladiator, ready!
00:14:49En garde!
00:14:57Three, two, one!
00:15:01Away we go, then.
00:15:03Phantom hits Mark.
00:15:04Mark falls off.
00:15:05Game over!
00:15:06Goodness me!
00:15:09Still missed 100%,
00:15:11so laid back that he's horizontal too.
00:15:17Replays normally just show the key bits.
00:15:19Well, this was all of it.
00:15:23I'm gutted for you, I've got to tell you,
00:15:25that was three seconds.
00:15:27Talk me through that event.
00:15:27And then, it was a blur.
00:15:29He just kept me with a blow, lost my balance,
00:15:32another blow, and off we went.
00:15:34Phantom.
00:15:35I have to say, I do like this guy so much,
00:15:37because I came from a single-parent household,
00:15:40and it was the teachers, people like you,
00:15:42who made it possible for me to be here today.
00:15:44Next on Duel, it's Jason...
00:15:50Next on Duel, it's Jason...
00:15:52...versus...
00:15:53...Nitro!
00:15:54...versus...
00:15:55...Nitro!
00:15:56...versus...
00:15:57...Nitro!
00:15:58...
00:15:59...
00:16:00...
00:16:01...
00:16:02...
00:16:04...
00:16:05...
00:16:11...
00:16:12...
00:16:13...
00:16:35...
00:16:40...
00:16:42...
00:16:44...
00:16:45Oh, it's a strong start from both Contender and Gladiator,
00:16:47but now Jason has stepped onto Nitro's podium,
00:16:50he'll be disqualified for that.
00:16:54WWE stands for Wrong Way End Of Duel.
00:17:00Darkëtime got a plan, did it?
00:17:02Rob, I- Yeah.
00:17:03I don't know, I didn't know whether there was a plan or not,
00:17:04I'm not quite sure the plan was to not get hit too much and stay on and and then I got run over by a bus
00:17:12My come over tonight. Oh, what I've got to say about this guy. He made me question myself today
00:17:18He's got the most amazing energy. Yeah, I mean I'm the energy guy and I'm thinking he's taken my place
00:17:24Jason and Nitro everyone
00:17:32Neither contender will be getting actually carried away with that start both battered both pointless
00:17:39It is now time for our next earth shattering event. Let's get ready to rubble. It's destruction
00:17:46Destruction
00:17:50Two contenders and one gladiator in a race through four solid barriers
00:17:56Each barrier must be tackled differently and with a head start contenders must smash
00:18:02Ram climb and crash their way to reach the central button
00:18:07First there picks up ten points the second scores five if the gladiator rate supreme the runner-up gets five and the last
00:18:15Just nothing but dust and defeat
00:18:22Playing destruction for the female contenders in red it is Gail
00:18:29And in blue it is Emily
00:18:33And they are going to be taking on Sabre
00:18:37Sabres sharpened her claws for this one. She's ready to slash smash and crash through everything in her back
00:18:48She's ready to
00:19:04You will call my first whistle gladiator you will call my second whistle
00:19:14Gailin red Emily and blue both battering their way through barrier number one and his saver picking up the battering ram to set about number two
00:19:24Our contenders are doing a pretty good job. They are neck and neck ahead of barrier three
00:19:30Now remember the idea with three is to punch and kick holes in those crosses
00:19:35Get some footholds and handholds before climbing over the top and look at saver go and look at gail go
00:19:42Emily struggling a little bit more
00:19:45Save the bounces off barrier four as does gail number four really does take some getting through
00:19:52Save the has another run at it and the barrier wins the gladiator knocked off her feet
00:19:58Gail's gone for the kicking route
00:20:01Emily trying to catch up by climbing over but gail is through and she's gonna get to the button first and claim ten points
00:20:09Followed by saver a weary walk to the finish and that means the game's up for Emily nothing for her
00:20:20Saver ferocious as ever, but what about gail our fabulous farming phenomenon
00:20:27Connect but gail you showed the farmers strength tonight
00:20:36Barrier three Emily kind of held you up couldn't get a hold in the wall to get over
00:20:39I thought maybe my heart wouldn't be a disadvantage, but I'm only little and it's really high up
00:20:44I've got to come now to saver
00:20:47What I really feel about this game is it's beautifully poetic. It's all about strong
00:20:53Athletic feminine women breaking down barriers
00:20:56And to be honest I expected to be leading from the front and I expected every little girl in this audience to follow me, but maybe we should follow gail
00:21:07Hey
00:21:09Oh that's magnanimous of you. I'm sure saver, but you made it sick. It was cut out the points for me nonetheless
00:21:15But gail ten pints everybody. Thank you so much
00:21:19Gail dancing with delight and no wonder ten points sees her leapfrog Emily into the lead after two events. It's gail ten Emily five
00:21:27Playing destruction for the male contenders in red. It's mark
00:21:36It's Jason
00:21:40And they are going to be taking on steel
00:21:46Racing against the contenders is 101 kilos of solid steel and he's ready to crush everything between him and that button
00:21:57Contenders
00:21:59Contenders ready
00:22:09My first whistle gladiator you will call my second whistle
00:22:20Mark in red Jason in blue and barrier one is no match for them
00:22:24Here comes steel and barrier one wasn't even there for him
00:22:28Mark is already through number two
00:22:30So is Jason this is mightily close between our contenders and steel is catching them
00:22:36Mark already over the top of barrier number three
00:22:39He's got a clear lead on Jason is still climbing
00:22:43Oh, what a barge into barrier four that was from Mark
00:22:46He's hammered his way through to win
00:22:48Now it's a question of can Jason get second place and earned himself five
00:22:53And the answer to that question is no
00:22:55Steel is there
00:22:57What fun that was there was bashing there was crushing it was absolutely smashing
00:23:03You made it look very very easy I've got to say I just didn't see it as a wall I've got to go through the wall so run beyond it go past it don't run at it run through it
00:23:15Okay, Jason you look a bit dejected mate
00:23:17I'm giving me all just this guy is incredible going through there that felt like I was running into a brick wall
00:23:22Thank you to Mark Jason and of course steel
00:23:27Mark sorry Mr. Billings top of the class his first points of the night he's on ten Jason yet to score
00:23:34Guess what what next up it's collision and if the gladiators come out on top in this one they'll get to swing while they're winning
00:23:51Yes
00:23:53What does that even mean?
00:23:54Yes
00:23:55Oh my God
00:23:57I can't believe it
00:24:02Plane collision for the female contenders it's Gale
00:24:06Yes
00:24:09And she needs to avoid Athena and Comet
00:24:14Enter Athena named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare and handicrafts
00:24:19With her power she's more than handy at collision
00:24:24Just watch her streak through the sky
00:24:27Our contenders will have to go some to avoid Comet and those one metre long legs
00:24:33And Electro and Dynamite
00:24:39Electro always lights up the arena and she's out to stop the contenders charge across the collision bridge
00:24:46Contenders
00:24:48Contenders
00:24:49Ready
00:24:54Gladiators
00:24:55Ready
00:24:563
00:25:002
00:25:011
00:25:02What tactics will Gale adopt?
00:25:04A little hesitant as Dynamite came flying in
00:25:08But she's managed to dodge past Electro
00:25:10Now Comet puts those legs to work
00:25:12And grabs a hold of Gale
00:25:14She didn't even get across once
00:25:21Gale got past two and thought she was going well
00:25:24Until colliding with Comet
00:25:26Get down, get down
00:25:28Gale
00:25:30Gale
00:25:31That didn't last long mate
00:25:32Is it worth it?
00:25:34Oh my god
00:25:35That was shocking
00:25:36But I'll be back for the next one
00:25:38Bet you believe it
00:25:39Give it up for Gale everyone
00:25:42Next to face collision
00:25:44It's
00:25:45Emily
00:25:48Contender
00:25:49Ready
00:25:54Gladiators
00:25:55Ready
00:26:003
00:26:012
00:26:021
00:26:04Emily grabs a blue ball
00:26:05And goes
00:26:06A very different approach to Gale
00:26:08And it's worked for her
00:26:09Two points straight away
00:26:10She's going for the same again
00:26:12But Dynamite has managed to knock the ball from her hands
00:26:16It's not going to change Emily's mind
00:26:18Oh this might
00:26:19She's stopped in her tracks now
00:26:20And she's down
00:26:21Ball out of hands
00:26:23Emily off the bridge
00:26:30Another good round for the gladiators
00:26:32Emily disrupted
00:26:33And then dispatched
00:26:34Two out of two for Comet
00:26:40Emily I'm gutted for you
00:26:41What happened there?
00:26:43The legs are stronger than they look
00:26:44Oh my goodness
00:26:45Comet
00:26:47Good contender?
00:26:48She's a very good contender
00:26:49Listen
00:26:50This game is all about perfection
00:26:51And I'm a perfectionist
00:26:52And that was perfect timing
00:26:54It certainly was perfect timing
00:26:56Look
00:26:57She goes away with something
00:26:58That's two points to Emily
00:27:03Two points for Emily
00:27:04Sees her eat into Gale's advantage
00:27:05Gale has the lead
00:27:06Ten points to seven
00:27:07After three events
00:27:08Playing collision for the male contenders
00:27:12It's Mark
00:27:17And he's going to need to dodge Viper
00:27:19And Apollo
00:27:23Here he is, everyone's favourite
00:27:25The only thing more dangerous than a poisonous snake
00:27:27A flying poisonous snake
00:27:29At six foot six
00:27:34Apollo is a lethal weapon in collision
00:27:36A seventeen stone human wrecking ball
00:27:39And hammer
00:27:42And macho
00:27:44He loves taking down contenders
00:27:48So they better watch out as hammer swings in
00:27:50They'll have to move quickly
00:27:52And move quickly
00:27:56Contender
00:27:57Ready
00:28:02Gladiators
00:28:03Ready
00:28:08Three
00:28:09Two
00:28:10One
00:28:12It's the gladiators who are getting set and going
00:28:14And on Mark
00:28:15And Mark's a little hesitant
00:28:17He's struggling here
00:28:18And he's dropped the ball
00:28:19Nothing for that first crossing of the collision bridge
00:28:23He got past Viper there
00:28:24In fact, he's getting past them all
00:28:26Two points for Mark
00:28:28That should do his confidence the world of good
00:28:30Oh, he's getting the hang of it now
00:28:32That was a super run
00:28:33Dodging, ducking, weaving and going
00:28:36Look at those legs
00:28:37He's even got time for a little dance up there
00:28:40And he shrugs off an ever-smiling nitro to score again
00:28:44Six points for Mark
00:28:45As he keeps his balance before setting off on another run
00:28:48I don't think he's going to get across this time
00:28:51Viper has got him
00:28:52And he's bitten him
00:29:01Really good from Mark
00:29:02Up to the point where Viper remembered
00:29:04He really doesn't like teachers
00:29:07Goodbye, sir
00:29:08And thanks for trying
00:29:11Unbelievable, mate
00:29:12How do you feel?
00:29:13Some big hits there
00:29:15Especially Apollo's legs
00:29:16Who was it took him out at the end?
00:29:19Viper
00:29:21Listen
00:29:22Come in Viper
00:29:24Let me ask you this
00:29:25You're a man of very, very few words, Viper
00:29:27Please talk us through that moment
00:29:33Yeah, thanks Viper
00:29:34So
00:29:35Mark
00:29:36Six points
00:29:37Everybody
00:29:41Next on Collision
00:29:42It's Jason
00:29:48Contender
00:29:49Ready
00:29:54Creators
00:29:55Ready
00:29:56Three
00:29:59Three
00:30:00Two
00:30:01One
00:30:03Oh, I like Jason's starting position
00:30:05He looks really keen here
00:30:06And he dodges nitro nicely
00:30:09Then hammer
00:30:10Then Apollo
00:30:11Then Viper
00:30:12Two points for Jason
00:30:13That was a really well thought out run
00:30:15He didn't think about this one though
00:30:18And the second run comes to nothing
00:30:20An event that was always likely to give Jason problems
00:30:25Wrestling ring, collision bridge, two very different things
00:30:31Jason, what happened there?
00:30:33I don't know what to say
00:30:35Pipe yourself down big lad, pipe down in you
00:30:37Your cards are marked big lad
00:30:38Oh
00:30:40Listen, what it looked like to me
00:30:41Was you tried to get under Apollo
00:30:42And then you just misjudged it
00:30:44Have you seen the length of his legs?
00:30:45I mean, yeah, they come up to
00:30:46Look, look
00:30:47Apollo?
00:30:48Yeah, it was hard to see down there
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:50Give it up for Jason
00:30:51And of course
00:30:52Our gladius
00:30:53I don't know what to say
00:30:54I don't know what to say
00:30:56I don't know what to say
00:30:57I don't know what to say
00:30:58Pipe yourself down big lad
00:30:59Pipe yourself down big lad
00:31:00Pipe down in you
00:31:01Your cards are marked big lad
00:31:02Oh
00:31:03Listen, what it looked like to me
00:31:04Was you tried to get under Apollo
00:31:05And then you just misjudged it
00:31:06For Jason
00:31:07And of course
00:31:08Our gladiators
00:31:10Apart from Viper
00:31:12I think they all like Jason
00:31:13He's got his first points of the night as well
00:31:15But Mark has gone further clear
00:31:17It's 16-2
00:31:19Time for one of our new events
00:31:21Everest
00:31:22And I think it's going to make a big impression on our contenders
00:31:24And a bigger impression on the crash map
00:31:26It's Everest
00:31:28Everest
00:31:31A brand new event
00:31:33Featuring the highest freefall ever
00:31:35On gladiators
00:31:37Contender and gladiator must push
00:31:40A 220 kilogram sliding wall
00:31:43Across a 10 metre platform
00:31:45Each trying to shove their opponent over the edge
00:31:48Into a chilling 16 foot drop
00:31:53When the siren sounds the platform tilts
00:31:55First giving the contender the advantage
00:31:57Before shifting in favour of the gladiator
00:32:00Who will conquer the summit
00:32:02And who will face the terrifying plummet
00:32:06It's time to push it
00:32:08Push it real good
00:32:10Facing Everest first is Gale
00:32:14But which gladiator will you be up against?
00:32:17Let's find out using our gladiator selector
00:32:20Oh
00:32:26Cyclone
00:32:28You will be taking on Cyclone Gale
00:32:30How do you feel about that?
00:32:32Oh good grief
00:32:33That says it all
00:32:36Good grief
00:32:37And now let's find out
00:32:38Who you will be taking on Emily
00:32:40Who will it be?
00:32:42Who will it be?
00:32:43It is
00:32:44Diamond though
00:32:46Or
00:32:47Dynamite
00:32:49Right
00:32:50Dynamite
00:32:51Pia are you happy?
00:32:52Yeah
00:32:53Two explosive powerhouses
00:32:54Let's have it
00:32:55Perfect
00:32:56Alright
00:32:57Without further ado
00:32:58It's time to play
00:32:59Everest
00:33:02First up Emily will take on Dynamite
00:33:05And there's nothing babyish about her skills
00:33:07She's ready to use her explosive power
00:33:10To shove Emily off the mountain
00:33:12She might be a big rugby player
00:33:14But the stats suggest
00:33:16That Emily will need all of those skills
00:33:18To withstand this blast
00:33:21Contender and gladiator
00:33:23Step forward
00:33:31Bonjour says Emily
00:33:33Oh this is going to be good
00:33:37Take your positions
00:33:42Contender
00:33:43Ready
00:33:46Gladiator
00:33:47Ready
00:33:513
00:33:522
00:33:531
00:33:54It's a crash into the wall
00:33:55And I just wonder if this event will suit Emily's rugby background down to the ground
00:34:01If you'll forgive the pun
00:34:02That wall tipped the scales at 220 kilos
00:34:06Add the weight of the contender and the gladiator
00:34:09And that's some serious force to reckon with
00:34:12And the tilt is coming
00:34:14And here it is
00:34:15The wall starts to move
00:34:17And now the odds are stacked against the gladiator
00:34:20And I don't think Dynamite will be able to arrest this slide
00:34:23She's going down
00:34:25Down
00:34:30Time for a worm on Everest
00:34:32Gladiators
00:34:33We give you everything
00:34:34Emily showed fantastic strength before exploding into action to blow Dynamite's fuse
00:34:42You've got to be proud of yourself there
00:34:45I can't believe what has happened
00:34:47I mean like
00:34:48Massive kudos
00:34:49That was a challenge
00:34:50She is strong
00:34:51And Dynamite despite the result
00:34:54I mean the crowd was going wild
00:34:56You've got a lot of your fans in here tonight
00:34:57Yeah
00:34:58I'm the smallest gladiator
00:35:00And this is probably the biggest game
00:35:02And it just kind of shows that
00:35:04No matter what size you are
00:35:05Whether you're big or small
00:35:06You can honestly do anything you set your mind to
00:35:08Brilliant
00:35:09Emily it's a massive win for you
00:35:12All I've got to say is
00:35:13Ten points
00:35:14Yes
00:35:15Yes
00:35:16Yes
00:35:19Next hoping for victory on Everest
00:35:21It's Gail
00:35:24And she is facing Cyclone
00:35:36Contender and gladiator
00:35:38Step forward
00:35:45Is it me or is it getting windy in here?
00:35:51Take your positions
00:35:59Contender
00:36:00Ready
00:36:03Gladiator
00:36:04Ready
00:36:08Three
00:36:09Two
00:36:10One
00:36:11Oh
00:36:12I've been waiting for this
00:36:13It's Gail
00:36:14Against Cyclone
00:36:15But the way that the gladiator started
00:36:17It might not be a storm that lasts long
00:36:19Look at it go
00:36:20Gail goes down
00:36:22The wind
00:36:23Has been knocked out of our contender
00:36:29Another event in which to fear facing Cyclone
00:36:32That was a breeze
00:36:34That is a tough, tough, tough task
00:36:38I mean Cyclone just awesome
00:36:40Yeah it was so scary watching her running through
00:36:42Towards me
00:36:43I was like
00:36:44Oh dear
00:36:46I know
00:36:47I'm a bit like that
00:36:48Whenever she's near me
00:36:49I tell you
00:36:50Oh hello
00:36:52Better luck in the next event
00:36:53I have to say
00:36:54But please give it up
00:36:55For Gail everyone
00:37:00Ten points for Emily
00:37:01And with Cyclone blowing Gail away
00:37:03Look at the scores now
00:37:04Emily leads 17-10
00:37:06Up on Everest tonight is Mark
00:37:11But which gladiator will you be battling?
00:37:13Giant! He is giant, how do you feel about that?
00:37:27I want the biggest, I want the best
00:37:29Let's get out of it
00:37:30Okay
00:37:31Fighting words from Mark
00:37:32Now let's find out who you'll be playing Jason
00:37:34You'll be playing Jason
00:37:45Bionic!
00:37:47Oh are you ready to go head to head with Bionic?
00:37:49Nothing much to say, let's get after it!
00:37:51Yes, let's get after it he says
00:37:53Okay here we go
00:37:54It's time to play Everest
00:37:59First up it's Jason versus Bionic
00:38:01Who's ready for his Everest debut
00:38:03And he'll be looking to play a blinder
00:38:08Contender and gladiator
00:38:10Step forward
00:38:11Step forward
00:38:16Here we go
00:38:17Here we go
00:38:18Here we go
00:38:19Here we go
00:38:23Take your positions
00:38:27Contender
00:38:28Ready
00:38:32Gladiator
00:38:33Ready
00:38:373
00:38:382
00:38:391
00:38:41Oh, I hope that glass is tough
00:38:44They have smashed into the wall
00:38:46And look at Bionic now
00:38:48He's starting to make Jason slide
00:38:50But Jason's grip is true
00:38:52He knows the tactic
00:38:54He's got to just stay up there
00:38:56Give it all he's got until that platform starts to tilt
00:39:00And here it comes!
00:39:02Now it should be advantage Jason
00:39:04And his supporters know it
00:39:06Bionic is sliding
00:39:07It's man machine against the primate
00:39:10And the primate is winning!
00:39:13Bionic's functions aren't computing
00:39:16It's a system error!
00:39:17Jason wins!
00:39:18Bionic's functions aren't computing
00:39:19It's a system error!
00:39:20Jason wins!
00:39:21Bionic's functions aren't computing
00:39:22It's a system error!
00:39:23It's a system error!
00:39:24It's a system error!
00:39:25It's a system error!
00:39:26It's a system error!
00:39:28Bionic started well
00:39:30But it was all about the tilt
00:39:32And when it came
00:39:33Man beat machine
00:39:34Time beat T's
00:39:35T's
00:39:36You held on
00:39:37You held on
00:39:38There was one moment where I thought
00:39:39It's over for Jason
00:39:40Then I heard tilt
00:39:41And I was like
00:39:42Oh it's about to change here!
00:39:43Oh credit to the crowd
00:39:44Thank you so much!
00:39:46When I thought I couldn't go any further
00:39:49And you started shouting
00:39:51I got a little bit more
00:39:52And we did it!
00:39:54You certainly did!
00:39:56Bionic is the battle of the North East up there
00:39:59I'll tell you what that
00:40:00When that tilt comes
00:40:01It's extremely difficult
00:40:02So well done Jason
00:40:03Thank you!
00:40:08Next hoping to conquer Everest
00:40:09Is Mark!
00:40:13Who is facing
00:40:15Giants!
00:40:20An irresistible force
00:40:22And Giant will look to be an immovable object on Everest
00:40:26Mark has to somehow move this man mountain
00:40:29From the mountain
00:40:31And that's going to be no mean feat
00:40:32The difference in size and strength between these two is
00:40:36Gigantic!
00:40:38Contender and Gladiator
00:40:40Step forward!
00:40:45Come on!
00:40:46You're in detention with Giant!
00:40:48School's out!
00:40:50You're going home
00:40:52Come on!
00:40:53Take out positions!
00:40:54Take out positions!
00:40:59Contender!
00:41:00Ready!
00:41:04Gladiator!
00:41:05Ready!
00:41:08Three!
00:41:09Two!
00:41:10One!
00:41:11Two!
00:41:12Two!
00:41:13Two!
00:41:14I can't think of anything more frightening than seeing a Giant through the glass screen
00:41:17No wonder Mark's not looking at him
00:41:19He's pushing hard but Giant is pushing even harder
00:41:23Mark is not giving way though
00:41:25Amazing strength shown by the contender
00:41:28He's just waiting now for that platform to tilt
00:41:32And then he'll try and get those leg muscles up and moving
00:41:35To push Giant back
00:41:38And now Giant's going
00:41:42Mark knows he's got to get this finished
00:41:45Before the platform starts to tilt the other way
00:41:47Inch by inch
00:41:50Step by step
00:41:51Time's running out for Mark
00:41:53He's got to do it now
00:41:54This is his last chance
00:41:56And he has done it
00:41:59It's not David
00:42:01It's Mark who's beaten Goliath
00:42:05Well Giant looks stunned
00:42:08But ultimately Mark takes the victory
00:42:10And ten points
00:42:12That is extraordinary
00:42:17All I can say is just
00:42:19Thank you to the fans
00:42:21As soon as I heard you screaming
00:42:23Tilt, tilt, tilt
00:42:24I knew I had an opportunity
00:42:26But Koi is a strong man
00:42:27A real strong man
00:42:28Come on big man, tell us
00:42:30Oh Brad, I thought I played the perfect game
00:42:32I heard the tilt
00:42:33I felt the thing starting to go
00:42:35I was one second away from it
00:42:37But it was too late
00:42:39Yeah, love it
00:42:40Ten points
00:42:41And a teacher
00:42:45So Jason deactivated Bionic
00:42:47And Mark took Giant to school
00:42:49After four events
00:42:50Mark leads by 26 points to 12
00:42:54Come on
00:42:56Our next event is The Edge
00:42:57And for the gladiators
00:42:58This is all about the tackles
00:43:00You betcha Barnes, yes
00:43:01Tackles are vital
00:43:02We're looking for technique
00:43:04Accuracy
00:43:05And most of all
00:43:07Timing
00:43:08This is The Edge
00:43:10The Edge
00:43:13Contender and gladiator are about to face off
00:43:16On this formidable steel structure
00:43:18Suspended 30 feet above the arena floor
00:43:21One slip up, one wrong move
00:43:23And it's a devastating drop down to defeat
00:43:26Can they conquer it?
00:43:27Or will they be cast off the edge?
00:43:29Off the edge
00:43:34First on the edge
00:43:35For the female contenders
00:43:36It's Gail
00:43:38And she is hoping to dodge
00:43:43Fury
00:43:44Contender
00:43:50Ready
00:43:51Gladiator
00:43:54Ready
00:43:55Three
00:43:56Two
00:43:57One
00:43:58Three
00:43:59Two
00:44:00One
00:44:01Gail
00:44:02Gail
00:44:03Seven points down on Emily
00:44:04So she needs a good score here
00:44:06And with a leap at the end
00:44:08She gets her first two points
00:44:10Going right down the left-hand edge
00:44:12And she does the same the other way
00:44:14And evades Fury's push
00:44:16To score another two
00:44:18And she's taking on this game quite literally
00:44:20It is all about the edge for Gail
00:44:23And she's got her timing right
00:44:24That's six points
00:44:25This is a great run
00:44:27And she's going again really quickly
00:44:29Fury's there to stop her now though
00:44:31And to stop her fully
00:44:38Gail started with a real spring in her step
00:44:41Whilst Fury played a game of three W's
00:44:44Wait, Watch, Waller
00:44:45You did fantastic Gail
00:44:51So I had to time it perfectly
00:44:52I knew she was there
00:44:53Like eyeing me up
00:44:54I was her prey
00:44:56But I just had to take the leap of faith
00:44:57And get over to the other side
00:44:58And luckily I managed a few times
00:45:00So absolutely buzzing
00:45:02Fury
00:45:03Happy with the tackle
00:45:04Yeah, I mean
00:45:05Coming into this
00:45:06I never expected to enjoy that game
00:45:08As much as I do
00:45:09Because you know
00:45:10Many deaf people struggle with balance
00:45:11So I surprise my son
00:45:12Every time I get up there anyway
00:45:14Yeah, absolutely
00:45:15That is Gail
00:45:16And Fury
00:45:17Brilliant
00:45:18Well played everybody
00:45:22Next
00:45:2330 feet
00:45:24Up above the arena
00:45:26It's Emily
00:45:29And she is up against
00:45:32Dynamite
00:45:33You're in the middle of the arena
00:45:35Virtually
00:45:36Whop hub
00:45:39Contender
00:45:40Ready
00:45:41Gladiator
00:45:43Ready
00:45:44Three
00:45:45Two
00:45:46One
00:45:47Three, two, one.
00:45:51So as on Everest, it's Emily against Dynamite again.
00:45:55Emily won that particular event and she started really well here.
00:45:59Oh, what a good change of direction.
00:46:01That left Dynamite all of her days.
00:46:03Four points already for Emily.
00:46:05She's bouncing across the edge.
00:46:08Dynamite cannot get anywhere nearer.
00:46:10They're not speaking the same language up there.
00:46:13It's going to be a maximum for Emily.
00:46:15Ten points, DIPOIS, 10 puntos, magnifique, you get the idea.
00:46:22So for the second time tonight, Emily defeats Dynamite.
00:46:27What a performance.
00:46:30Wow.
00:46:31Do you know what?
00:46:32That was one of the quickest edges I've ever seen.
00:46:34You were so fast.
00:46:35That is absolutely terrifying.
00:46:37I'm a land mammal.
00:46:39Don't put me in the air.
00:46:40Yeah, she said she was scared of heights.
00:46:41She didn't look very scared up there.
00:46:43You didn't look scared.
00:46:44Would you look down?
00:46:45Good grief, no.
00:46:47I mean, I don't have anything to say other than...
00:46:50Ten points!
00:46:54Emily's incredible efforts on the edge
00:46:56means that she's got even more of an edge over Gail now.
00:46:59An 11-point lead for the Eliminator.
00:47:02Up on the edge for the male contenders,
00:47:05it is Mark.
00:47:06And he's got to avoid Apollo.
00:47:11And he's got to avoid Apollo.
00:47:12And he's got to avoid Apollo.
00:47:14Two points!
00:47:18Contender ready!
00:47:21Gladiator ready!
00:47:263, 2, 1!
00:47:30Down the outside has been the key to scoring points so far tonight, and that's the route Mark's taken as well.
00:47:37Apollo takes guard and tells Mark which way to go, and then goes there himself!
00:47:43But now he's only going one way, and so is Mark! He follows Apollo into the net!
00:47:52Apollo saw his chance and went for it, but oh, what a lucky strike! Only, only just!
00:48:00Mark, intimidated by Apollo.
00:48:02He's just such a big man when he's up there.
00:48:04He gets into that spot in the middle, and then there looks like there's no space at all.
00:48:08Yeah, okay, now this is your game.
00:48:10I think the stat is you've got seven takedowns out of ten now.
00:48:14Pretty good stats, can't lie, yeah.
00:48:16But look, he's a fantastic competitor, Mark.
00:48:19One crossing, two points, brilliant stuff!
00:48:22Next, on the edge, it's Jason!
00:48:30And he is up against Steel!
00:48:36Let's go!
00:48:40Contender, ready!
00:48:44Gladiator, ready!
00:48:50Three, two, one!
00:48:54We know the deal by now.
00:48:56The Gladiator's only too happy to let the contender score the first two points,
00:49:01but look at Jason going back and forth for four already.
00:49:04In fact, make that six, and Steel's going!
00:49:07He got that badly wrong!
00:49:10And while Steel lays dented all the way down there,
00:49:14Jason can hop across to his heart's content and score a maximum ten!
00:49:22Jason just too fast, and it was at this moment, Steel knew he'd messed up.
00:49:29Oh, wow, you've got to be so happy with that!
00:49:32Oh, that was fantastic.
00:49:34Nerve-wracking, heart was two miles.
00:49:35What people don't understand when they were shot on TV,
00:49:37it doesn't look that high.
00:49:39When you're up there, it's another story, another story.
00:49:42Yeah, it is very, very high up.
00:49:44Steel, you went for a Hail Mary tackle and just missed him.
00:49:47Yeah, he was a little bit too quick.
00:49:49My time was a little bit off.
00:49:50I'll learn and move on.
00:49:52But yeah, fair play, well done.
00:49:53You were quick up there.
00:49:55Jason, that is ten points to you, my friend!
00:50:00Ten points that could be crucial for Jason, cutting Mark's lead to six.
00:50:06It's time now for the Eliminator,
00:50:08the final chance for our contenders to show us everything they can do.
00:50:12Well, what are you talking about balance?
00:50:13It's not actually everything.
00:50:14We're not going to make them, like, boil an egg, are we?
00:50:16What?
00:50:17Although, to be fair, an egg and spoon race would make a very good twist on the balance beam.
00:50:21Enough with the eggs.
00:50:22Hopscotch?
00:50:23No!
00:50:24This is the Eliminator!
00:50:26The Eliminator!
00:50:29Going into the Eliminator, Emily holds an 11 point lead over Gale,
00:50:33which converts to a five and a half seconds head start.
00:50:36Gale has it all to do.
00:50:37Contenders!
00:50:38Ready!
00:50:39Emily, you will go on my first whistle.
00:50:40Gale, you will go on my second whistle.
00:50:41Three!
00:50:42Two!
00:50:43One!
00:50:44Emily is away, and a five and a half seconds lead is more than healthy for any Eliminator.
00:50:46Now it's Gale's turn.
00:50:47She's got to go, and she's got to go mightily fast.
00:50:48Oh, a problem here, though, for Emily.
00:50:49She's swinging helplessly on that rope, and look at Gale.
00:50:50She's caught up.
00:50:51Emily's lead has melted like the ice cream that Gale makes.
00:50:52She can only concentrate on looking forward.
00:50:53Gale's got her own problems on that pencil.
00:50:54Three, two, one!
00:50:55Emily is away, and a five and a half seconds lead is more than healthy for any Eliminator.
00:51:00Now it's Gale's turn.
00:51:01She's got to go, and she's got to go mightily fast.
00:51:05Oh, a problem here, though, for Emily.
00:51:07She's swinging helplessly on that rope, and look at Gale.
00:51:10She's caught up.
00:51:12Emily's lead has melted like the ice cream that Gale makes.
00:51:16She can only concentrate on looking forward.
00:51:19Gale's got her own problems on that pesky rope.
00:51:23Emily takes to the trapeze.
00:51:25But she had a struggle getting it unclicked.
00:51:27She made the circus out of that.
00:51:29A step onto the cargo net.
00:51:31I think Emily's got her lead back just about.
00:51:34Gale trying to make progress.
00:51:36Oh, there's a slip.
00:51:37There's a slip from Emily, and Gale will have seen that.
00:51:40Now, can't you take advantage?
00:51:42Oh, first the slip, then the clip again.
00:51:45Very steady swing from Gale.
00:51:48Gale, come on.
00:51:49You can't hang about, Gale.
00:51:50It was a nervous jump onto the cargo net.
00:51:53Emily already at the top, and with time to adjust her knee support
00:51:58before going across to the zip wire.
00:52:00It looks as though she's flying through to victory in this eliminator.
00:52:05Safe landing as well, but the balance beam can wreck any contender's hopes.
00:52:11And she's got to be so careful despite being so far in front.
00:52:15Where has Gale gone?
00:52:17Emily effortlessly across the beam.
00:52:20Gale's way behind.
00:52:21And now it comes down to Emily versus the Travelator.
00:52:25She is just a few steps away from a place in the quarterfinal.
00:52:30But that's a misstep.
00:52:32Luckily for Emily, she's still got time to have another go
00:52:35before Gale is on the scene.
00:52:37Deep breaths for our contender in blue.
00:52:40Gale's getting a hurry on now.
00:52:42She's got Emily in her sights.
00:52:44Emily with another trip there.
00:52:46And down again she goes.
00:52:48It is agony for Team Emily.
00:52:51Oh, but look at Gale.
00:52:52She's stumbled off the beam.
00:52:55It's back to the start for her.
00:52:57She's going to try that again as Emily focuses on trying the Travelator again.
00:53:02This time, surely it has to be her time lucky for Emily.
00:53:07No, she can't hold on.
00:53:10And now there's a bigger question.
00:53:12Can she hold on to the lead that she's had all Eliminator?
00:53:16Because here's Gale.
00:53:18They're neck and neck.
00:53:20Emily sticks her neck out first and goes again.
00:53:24She has to do it this time.
00:53:26But she's tiring.
00:53:27Oh, it's Gale.
00:53:28Gale's going to grab the glory here.
00:53:30But she's out of steam as well.
00:53:33We've never, ever seen an Eliminator finish like this.
00:53:37If they can finish.
00:53:39This time they go together.
00:53:41It looks as though Emily has got the momentum.
00:53:44And finally, she makes it to the top.
00:53:47And makes it through to the quarterfinals.
00:53:50Elation for Emily and all her fans.
00:53:53And here comes Gale for second place.
00:53:56I don't think we all need an ice cream.
00:53:59What an Eliminator that was!
00:54:02Unbelievable!
00:54:11Full credit to Emily.
00:54:12She had the lead.
00:54:13She lost the lead.
00:54:14But through it all, she kept the resolve to reach the finish first.
00:54:20You're a quarterfinalist on Gladiators!
00:54:22The travelator's a nasty one, right?
00:54:28That is awful.
00:54:29It doesn't matter what height you are, but my little legs.
00:54:31My little legs could only take me so far.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:35But that was absolute graft.
00:54:36Like, gave it everything.
00:54:37We're going head to head twice.
00:54:39I am tired.
00:54:42Tired you may be, but you gave it your all.
00:54:45And look, we'll see you in the quarterfinals!
00:54:48Yeah!
00:54:49Congratulations!
00:54:50OK, it's time to Gale.
00:54:53Emily was leaving you behind, and all of a sudden,
00:54:56you came from nowhere right at the end, and it was neck and neck.
00:54:59It was so tight, I promise you, at the bottom of the travelator.
00:55:02And then it just did the damage.
00:55:05The travelator is the killer, is it not?
00:55:07Yeah, I did my best.
00:55:08I just tried to run my own race a full time.
00:55:11But yeah, Emily is just a great confessor.
00:55:14It's been an absolute brilliant day.
00:55:17Thank you so much to everyone of you.
00:55:19I'm just a wee ice cream girl from Ayrshire,
00:55:21but you've really melted my heart tonight.
00:55:23Brilliant!
00:55:24Thank you, Gale.
00:55:25Thank you, quarterfinals.
00:55:27Emily, everyone!
00:55:32As Gale and Emily reunite with their families for commiserations and celebrations,
00:55:41it's over to the male contenders.
00:55:44Mark leads Jason by 28 points to 22,
00:55:47and that converts to a three seconds head start.
00:55:50We've seen Mark's speed tonight, and he'll need it to stay in front.
00:55:56Contenders, ready!
00:55:59Mark, you will go on my first whistle.
00:56:02Jason, you will go on my second whistle.
00:56:06Three, two, one!
00:56:08A really fast start by Mark, leaping over the first hurdle.
00:56:14Here comes Jason, and he looks pretty jaunty too.
00:56:17I think this might be a very fast eliminator.
00:56:20Mark's made really short work of the rope.
00:56:23A few more problems for Jason behind him.
00:56:26And look at Mark go, taking on the overhead ladder two runs at a time.
00:56:31It looks as though our teacher from Essex has done his eliminator homework.
00:56:36Hang on, though, have a look at this.
00:56:38Jason is closer than I thought until then.
00:56:42He's collapsed into the bottom of the net there.
00:56:44It was a bad jump, and it just gives Mark all the extra impetus he needs for a solid and quick climb.
00:56:52Kelly, Thomas and Ava roar him across to the zip wire.
00:56:57Mark is flying, and it's a textbook landing, as you might expect.
00:57:01Jason is summoning up his spirit from those years in the wrestling ring.
00:57:06He's not out for the camp just yet.
00:57:09Now, how's your balance, Mr. Billings?
00:57:12He's taking it very slow and steady, making sure his foot makes contact with the red parts of the beam.
00:57:18He's finished, but look at this.
00:57:21Jason is there, and they're going to be going up the travelator together.
00:57:25I really don't know how Jason has made up the ground like that.
00:57:29Mark has to do this in one, but he can't hold on.
00:57:33And Jason can't take advantage.
00:57:36He's down at the bottom again as well.
00:57:40It's take two.
00:57:42The hare and the tortoise, the teacher and the wrestler, both absolutely bushed.
00:57:47Here goes Jason.
00:57:49And there goes Jason.
00:57:51And here comes Mark.
00:57:53This time he's got the speed to get to the top and swing through to victory.
00:57:59Well, for a brief moment, Jason had it, but it's been wrestled from his grasp.
00:58:07Here he comes to the top to finish.
00:58:10What an effort.
00:58:11What an eliminator.
00:58:13This was it, the moment when Jason's chances hit the floor, whilst Mark powered past him to hit the jackpot.
00:58:27That was extraordinary again.
00:58:33Jason, how do you feel?
00:58:35It's been incredible.
00:58:36I don't give anything a heart.
00:58:37Mark was incredible.
00:58:39The gladiators are monsters.
00:58:41It's been a fantastic time.
00:58:42Thanks to you, to Brad, and to everyone that's travelled from around the country to come watch us.
00:58:47Thank you so much.
00:58:49Thank you, Jason.
00:58:51You've been a brilliant contender.
00:58:53And we wish you all the best.
00:58:55That's Jason, everybody.
00:58:56Brilliant.
00:58:57An emotional day for you, I guess, too, Mark.
00:59:01All the kids you teach.
00:59:02All the stuff you're trying to teach them.
00:59:04Go in for stuff.
00:59:05Don't be afraid to do stuff.
00:59:07And here you are, mate.
00:59:08You are in the quarterfinals.
00:59:13Can someone pinch me?
00:59:15Honestly, the whole day is just, it's felt like a dream.
00:59:18I can't explain it to you.
00:59:20From watching Gladiators as a child to then being here on myself.
00:59:24And then seeing my beautiful children over there, screaming and shouting all the way.
00:59:28I just, I can't explain the emotions.
00:59:30I actually feel like I'm dreaming.
00:59:31It's incredible.
00:59:32It's been a great day, mate.
00:59:33You've been an unbelievable competitor.
00:59:35Congratulations.
00:59:36You are in the quarterfinals.
00:59:39Corley and staff, what about it?
00:59:41Give it up.
00:59:42Jason and Mark, everyone.
00:59:50What a show.
00:59:51What a show.
00:59:52Oh, look at this.
00:59:53What a show.
00:59:54And listen, guys, I've just got to say I've seen some great banners.
00:59:57All of your banners are incredible tonight.
00:59:59They are brilliant, Barnes.
01:00:00Look, someone's even made a banner for me, eh?
01:00:03Look at that.
01:00:04Pretty good.
01:00:05This crowd just can't get enough of me.
01:00:06The crowd love me, Barnes.
01:00:08They love me.
01:00:11Anyway, we'll see you next time in the arena for more Gladiators.
01:00:15I love them.
