00:00:09Do 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?
00:00:25It's not for beginners, get down in your soul
00:00:31Are you a mediator?
00:00:59I'm a human mediator
00:01:05Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh
00:01:22Thank you so much, welcome to Gladiators!
00:01:27Yes!
00:01:30Wow.
00:01:31The atmosphere in the arena is electric.
00:01:34Bulging muscles, eye-popping intensity,
00:01:37ferocious competitiveness.
00:01:38And that was just a cue 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.
00:01:51I'm Gail, I'm 32 years old,
00:01:53and I work as a farmer in Scotland.
00:01:57My day begins at 4.30 in the morning.
00:01:59We're 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
00:02:18from carrying two massive 20-litre pails every day.
00:02:23We call that the real farmer's carry.
00:02:27My family are ecstatic, especially 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.
00:02:41My name's Emily Bell.
00:02:43Bonjour, je m'appelle Emily Bell.
00:02:45Tengo 22 años.
00:02:46J'habite dans le sud de 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.
00:02:57When people are like, how many languages do you speak?
00:02:58I'm like, English.
00:02:59Oh, French and Spanish.
00:03:01She's like, oh, yeah.
00:03:01Am I fluent?
00:03:02I'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 it was 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.
00:03:17And 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.
00:03:22I think my family are quite excited.
00:03:23It's quite cool.
00:03:24I'm excited to get their little cousins
00:03:26and sort of cheer me on.
00:03:28I'm not one for cockiness,
00:03:31but I'm here for a reason, aren't I?
00:03:33Speed, strength, agility, power.
00:03:36May the best woman win.
00:03:38Please welcome Gail and Emily!
00:03:42Come on!
00:03:55Gail, welcome to the show.
00:03:58Introduce yourself to the crowd.
00:04:00Hello, Sheffield.
00:04:02My name's Gail.
00:04:03I'm 32.
00:04:04I'm a dairy farmer from Asian in Scotland!
00:04:09How have you set yourself up to Gladiators?
00:04:11Do you train a lot?
00:04:13So I train in the gym six times a week,
00:04:15but the real strength happens on the farm.
00:04:17This isn't just gym strength,
00:04:19this is farming strength!
00:04:22I love it.
00:04:23Can you win Gladiators?
00:04:26Of course I can.
00:04:27Nobody is mentally tougher than me.
00:04:29Come on!
00:04:30Yes!
00:04:32Put your hands together,
00:04:33and it's Gail, everyone!
00:04:39Emily, welcome to the show.
00:04:40Say hi to Sheffield for us.
00:04:42Hi, Sheffield!
00:04:43My name's Emily,
00:04:44I'm 22,
00:04:45and I'm from South London!
00:04:47Yes!
00:04:47South Londoner!
00:04:50You're very brainy.
00:04:51You studied languages at Cambridge.
00:04:53My question to you is,
00:04:55do you have the brawn as well?
00:04:56I'd say I'm a triple threat.
00:04:58We've got brains,
00:04:59we've got brawn,
00:04:59and we've got beauty.
00:05:01Nice!
00:05:03Well, we wish you well.
00:05:04That's Gail and Emily!
00:05:07Brilliant.
00:05:10Recently,
00:05:11the standard has been below five.
00:05:13We've got a plan.
00:05:17I'm sure I mean,
00:05:19it probably makes sense,
00:05:19but any questions,
00:05:20go.
00:05:22You're swinging off bridges?
00:05:24Bridge to bridge, yeah.
00:05:25And we've unleashed you just,
00:05:27you've been doing laps.
00:05:29And then just get put in.
00:05:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:32I'm steel,
00:05:33you made it!
00:05:33You made it!
00:05:34You made it!
00:05:35Come on!
00:05:36I'm steel!
00:05:37Max out of 12,
00:05:38that's what I do.
00:05:40No.
00:05:42First up,
00:05:43it's one of Gladiator's biggest hits,
00:05:45and those hits are normally on the bonce.
00:05:49This is...
00:05:50Jewel!
00:05:53Jewel.
00:05:57On the Jewel podium,
00:06:00for the female contenders,
00:06:01it's Gail!
00:06:05And she is facing...
00:06:08Fury!
00:06:12An intimidating sight for anyone.
00:06:16Fury lives up to her name in Jewel,
00:06:18with only one contender having ever gone the distance.
00:06:24Keeping a watchful eye on this evening's events
00:06:26is our referees team of Sonya McLomer,
00:06:29Lee Phillips,
00:06:30and as always,
00:06:31Big Mark Klattenberg.
00:06:33Contender,
00:06:34ready!
00:06:39Gladiator,
00:06:39ready!
00:06:43En garde!
00:06:52Three,
00:06:53two,
00:06:54one!
00:06:56Well,
00:06:56Gail looks ready,
00:06:57and she's got off to a really good start here.
00:06:59Fury wobbling a little,
00:07:01and rock backwards,
00:07:02but now it's Gail who looks set to tumble,
00:07:04and down she goes,
00:07:06it didn't last long at all.
00:07:14Gail was determined to milk her time on the podium,
00:07:17but was left looking a little pale.
00:07:22Ah, Gail,
00:07:23I'm gutted for you.
00:07:24Now, I thought with your fast strength
00:07:26you might be able to hold yourself on Duel,
00:07:27but up against Fury.
00:07:29I know,
00:07:30Fury is no joke.
00:07:32Fury,
00:07:32this is your game.
00:07:34Oh,
00:07:34I love it.
00:07:35It's like a boxing match,
00:07:36isn't it?
00:07:37That first hit you got me head.
00:07:38I thought you were going to knock me straight off,
00:07:40but,
00:07:41good battle though.
00:07:41Absolutely,
00:07:42it was a good battle.
00:07:43That's Gail and Fury.
00:07:47Next to Duel,
00:07:48it's Emily.
00:07:50And she is up against Cyclone.
00:08:03There's a Cyclone coming.
00:08:05She's beaten all comers on Duel,
00:08:07so Emily will need to find a way to weather the storm.
00:08:12Contender,
00:08:13ready!
00:08:18Gladiator,
00:08:19ready!
00:08:24En garde!
00:08:32Three,
00:08:33two,
00:08:34one!
00:08:35Well,
00:08:36we know what's coming with Cyclone.
00:08:37A slow start though,
00:08:39she's sizing up her opponent.
00:08:40Now she's got Emily wobbling.
00:08:42Go pushing!
00:08:43But Mark Klanberg quite rightly says no,
00:08:45that's pushing.
00:08:46Go pushing!
00:08:47And he's warning Cyclone again,
00:08:49he's on the ball tonight is Mark.
00:08:50And it all helps Emily's course.
00:08:53Go pushing!
00:08:54A third warning for Cyclone.
00:08:57She seems rattled by that.
00:08:59She can't get swinging.
00:09:00It'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.
00:09:17It barely touched Cyclone,
00:09:18but it stopped Cyclone from swinging.
00:09:20She never got started.
00:09:22That was a fantastic performance.
00:09:24How'd you feel?
00:09:27When we started,
00:09:28she told me you've already lost
00:09:29and she was barking in my face.
00:09:30So,
00:09:31I don't remember that loss.
00:09:33Yeah, well done you Cyclone.
00:09:35What have you got to say?
00:09:39You're doing a lot of this.
00:09:40But if you make it to the Porters,
00:09:43I'll be there.
00:09:44Oh!
00:09:51Cyclone's mood dampened,
00:09:52but a stunning start for Emily.
00:09:54After the first event,
00:09:55she leads Gale 5-0.
00:09:58It's time for the male contenders.
00:09:59Let's see who's brave enough
00:10:01to battle our gladiators.
00:10:03My name's Mark Billings.
00:10:04I'm a PE teacher in Essex
00:10:06and I'm 38 years old.
00:10:08I'm out every single day
00:10:10teaching children how to do a variety of different sports
00:10:12and having fun.
00:10:12Clear to throw.
00:10:14Yeah, some great throws there.
00:10:16The children probably say,
00:10:17a teacher that joins in way too much.
00:10:19Up, kick, up.
00:10:20I have the dream job.
00:10:23At home, I have my beautiful wife Kelly
00:10:26and then I have my son Thomas
00:10:27and then my daughter Ava.
00:10:29Love their sports.
00:10:30Sport and fitness is incredible
00:10:32for just alleviating daily stresses.
00:10:35My brother passed away over three years ago
00:10:37and that massively impacted me
00:10:40in a way that I can't even describe to you.
00:10:44I didn't think anxiety was a thing until I had it.
00:10:47I have a lot of friends that I train with.
00:10:48I think it helps us as a group of men
00:10:50with our mental health.
00:10:51The fact that we have that release
00:10:53and just meeting and talking to each other as well
00:10:55makes a massive difference.
00:10:59The reason that I really wanted to do Gladiators
00:11:01is I want to show children a challenge is a good thing.
00:11:04There's a real buzz around it.
00:11:05A real, real buzz.

00:16:43Oh 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
00:16:55WWE stands for Wrong Way End of Duel
00:17:00That didn't go to plan did it Brad?
00:17:02I don't know I didn't know whether there was a plan or not I'm not quite sure
00:17:05The plan was to not get hit too much and stay on
00:17:08And then I got run over by a bus
00:17:12I'm gonna come over to Nitro
00:17:14What I've got to say about this guy
00:17:16He made me question myself today
00:17:18He's got the most amazing energy
00:17:20Do you know what I mean?
00:17:22I'm the energy guy and I'm thinking he's taken my place
00:17:26Jason and Nitro everyone
00:17:31Oh there you go
00:17:32Neither Contender will be getting actually carried away with that start
00:17:36Both battered both pointless
00:17:39It is now time for our next earth shattering event
00:17:42Let's get ready to rubble
00:17:44It's Destruction
00:17:48Destruction
00:17:50Two Contenders and one Gladiator
00:17:53In a race through four solid barriers
00:17:56Each barrier must be tackled differently
00:17:59And with a head start contenders must smash, ram, climb and crash their way
00:18:05To reach the central button
00:18:07First there picks up ten points
00:18:09The second scores five
00:18:10If the Gladiator reigns supreme
00:18:13The runner up gets five
00:18:15And the last
00:18:15Nothing
00:18:16But dust and defeat
00:18:22Playing Destruction for the female contenders
00:18:25In red it is Gail
00:18:28And in blue it is Emily
00:18:33And they are going to be taking on Sabre
00:18:42Sabre's sharpened her claws for this one
00:18:44She's ready to slash smash and crash through everything in her path
00:18:54Compenders ready
00:18:59Gladiator ready
00:19:03Contenders you will go on my first whistle
00:19:07Gladiator you will go on my second whistle
00:19:093
00:19:102
00:19:111
00:19:14Gail in red
00:19:15Emily in blue
00:19:16Both battering their way through barrier number 1
00:19:19And here's Sabre picking up the battering round to set about number 2
00:19:24Our contenders are doing a pretty good job
00:19:27They are neck and neck ahead of barrier 3
00:19:30Now remember the idea with 3 is to punch and kick holes in those crosses
00:19:36Get some footholds and handholds before climbing over the top
00:19:39And look at Sabre go
00:19:40And look at Gail go
00:19:42Emily struggling a little bit more
00:19:46Sabre bounces off barrier 4
00:19:48As does Gail
00:19:49Number 4 really does take some getting through
00:19:52Sabre has another run at it
00:19:54And the barrier wins
00:19:56The gladiator knocked on her feet
00:19:59Gail's gone for the kicking route
00:20:01Emily trying to catch up by climbing over
00:20:03But Gail is through
00:20:04And she's going to get to the button first
00:20:06And claim 10 points
00:20:09Followed by Sabre
00:20:11A weary walk to the finish
00:20:12And that means the game's up for Emily
00:20:15Nothing for her
00:20:19Sabre ferocious as ever
00:20:21But what about Gail
00:20:23Our fabulous farming phenomenon
00:20:26You started neck and neck
00:20:28But Gail you showed the farmer's strength tonight
00:20:32Come on!
00:20:36Barrier 3 Emily kind of held you up
00:20:38Couldn't get a hold in the wall to get over
00:20:39I thought maybe my height wouldn't be a disadvantage
00:20:41But I'm only little and it's really higher
00:20:45I've got to come now to Sabre
00:20:47I've got to come now to Sabre
00:20:47What I really feel about this game
00:20:49Is it's beautifully poetic
00:20:50It's all about strong
00:20:53Athletic feminine women
00:20:54Breaking down barriers
00:20:57Alright, okay
00:20:59And to be honest
00:21:00I expected to be leading from the front
00:21:02And I expected every little girl in this audience to follow me
00:21:06But maybe we should follow Gail, eh?
00:21:09Oh, that's magnanimous of you
00:21:11I'm sure Sabre
00:21:11But you made it sick
00:21:13She was cut out the points for Emily nonetheless
00:21:15But Gail
00:21:1610 points everybody
00:21:17Thank you so much
00:21:19Gail dancing with delight
00:21:21And no wonder
00:21:2210 points sees her leapfrog Emily into the lead
00:21:25After two events
00:21:26It's Gail 10 Emily 5
00:21:29Playing destruction for the male contenders in red
00:21:32It's Mark
00:21:35And in blue
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
00:21:51And he's ready to crush everything between him and that button
00:21:55Yes
00:21:59Contenders ready
00:22:01Thank you, thank you
00:22:03Gladiator ready
00:22:06Let's go
00:22:08Contenders you will go on my first whistle
00:22:12Gladiator you will go on my second whistle
00:22:423, 2, 1
00:22:44A barge into barrier 4, that was from Mark
00:22:46He's hammered his way through to win
00:22:49Now it's a question of can Jason get second place and earn himself 5
00:22:53And the answer to that question is no
00:22:56Steel is there
00:23:00What fun that was, there was bashing, there was crushing
00:23:04It was absolutely smashing
00:23:08You made it look very very easy, I've got to say
00:23:11I just didn't see it as a wall, I've got to go through the wall
00:23:14So run beyond it, go past it, don't run at it, run through it
00:23:17OK Jason, you look a bit dejected mate
00:23:19I'm giving the all, just this guy is incredible going through there
00:23:23The fella goes running into a brick wall
00:23:26Thank you to Mark, Jason and of course, Steel
00:23:33Mark, sorry Mr Billings, top of the class, his first points of the night
00:23:37He's on 10, Jason yet to score
00:23:41Go on, guess what, next up it's collision
00:23:45And if the gladiators come out on top in this one
00:23:48They'll get to swing while they're winning
00:23:51Yes
00:23:52What does that even mean?
00:23:54Yes
00:23:57Can't believe it
00:24:13I got you
00:24:15I got you
00:24:24Just watch her streak through the sky
00:24:26Our contenders will have to go some to avoid Comet
00:24:29And those one metre long legs
00:24:33And Electro
00:24:35And Dynamite
00:24:39Electro always lights up the arena
00:24:41And she's out to stop the contenders charge across the collision bridge
00:24:47Contenders
00:24:48Contenders
00:24:49Ready
00:24:53Gladiators
00:24:54Ready
00:24:593
00:25:002
00:25:011
00:25:02What tactics will Gale adopt?
00:25:04A little hesitant as Dynamite came flying in
00:25:07But 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
00:25:16Get down, get down, get down, get down, get down
00:25:20Gale got past two and thought she was going well
00:25:23Until colliding with Comet
00:25:25Get down, get down
00:25:28Gale
00:25:30That didn't last long mate
00:25:32Was 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
00:25:45It's Emily
00:25:48Contender
00:25:49Ready
00:25:54Gladiators
00:25:55Ready
00:25:593
00:26:002
00:26:021
00:26:03Emily grabs a blue ball
00:26:05And goes
00:26:05A very different approach to Gale
00:26:07And 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
00:26:15It's not going to change Emily's mind
00:26:17Oh this might
00:26:19She's stopped in her tracks now
00:26:20And she's down
00:26:21Ball out of hands
00:26:22Emily off the bridge
00:26:24Get down, get down
00:26:26Get down, get down
00:26:27Get down, get down
00:26:30Get down
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
00:26:39Emily I'm gutted for you
00:26:41What happened there?
00:26:43Those legs are stronger than they look
00:26:44Oh my goodness
00:26:46Comet
00:26:47Good contender?
00:26:48She's a very good contender
00:26:50Listen this game is all about perfection
00:26:52And I'm a perfectionist
00:26:53And that was perfect timing
00:26:54It certainly was perfect timing
00:26:57Look, she goes away with something
00:26:58That's two points to Emily
00:27:02Two points for Emily
00:27:04See's her eat into Gale's advantage
00:27:06Gale has the lead
00:27:07Ten points to seven
00:27:08After three events
00:27:10Rain collision for the male contenders
00:27:12It's Mark
00:27:16And he's going to need to dodge
00:27:18Viper and Apollo
00:27:22Here he is
00:27:23Here he is
00:27:24Everyone's favourite
00:27:25The only thing more dangerous than a poisonous snake
00:27:27A flying poisonous snake
00:27:32At six foot six
00:27:34Apollo is a lethal weapon in collision
00:27:36A seventeen stone human wrecking ball
00:27:41And Hammer
00:27:42And Nitro
00:27:44And Hammer
00:27:45And Nitro
00:27:45He loves taking down contenders
00:27:48So they better watch out as Hammer swings in
00:27:50They'll have to move quickly
00:27:56Contender ready
00:28:02Gladiators ready
00:28:07Three
00:28:09Three
00:28:09Two
00:28:09One
00:28:11Thanks to Gladiators who are getting set and going
00:28:14And on Mark
00:28:15And Mark's a little hesitant
00:28:16He's struggling here
00:28:18And he's dropped the ball
00:28:20Nothing for that first crossing of the collision bridge
00:28:22He got past Viper there
00:28:24In fact he's getting past the ball
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
00:28:31That was a super run
00:28:33Dodging
00:28:34Ducking
00:28:34Weaving
00:28:35And going
00:28:35Look at those legs
00:28:37He's even got time for a little dance up there
00:28:39And he shrugs off an ever-smiling Nitro to score again
00:28:43Six 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
00:28:50Viper has got him
00:28:52And he's bitten him
00:28:54Get down
00:28:55Get down
00:28:56Get down
00:28:57Get down
00:28:59Get down
00:28:59Get down
00:28:59Get down
00:29:00Get down
00:29:01Really good from Mark
00:29:02Up to the point where Viper remembered
00:29:04He really doesn't like teachers
00:29:06Goodbye sir
00:29:08And thanks for trying
00:29:11Unbelievable mate
00:29:12How do you feel?
00:29:13Some big hits there
00:29:14Especially Apollo's legs
00:29:16Who was it that took him out at the end?
00:29:19Viper
00:29:19Listen
00:29:21Come in Viper
00:29:22Let me ask you this
00:29:24You'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 everybody
00:29:41Next on Collision
00:29:42It's Jason
00:29:48Contender
00:29:49Ready
00:29:54Gladiators
00:29:55Ready
00:29:59Three
00:30:00Two
00:30:01One
00:30:02Oh I like Jason's starting position
00:30:05He looks really keen here
00:30:07And 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
00:30:16He didn't think about this one though
00:30:18And the second run comes to nothing
00:30:21Get down
00:30:22Get down
00:30:25An event that was always likely to give Jason problems
00:30:29Wrestling ring
00:30:30Collision bridge
00:30:31Two very different things
00:30:35Jason what happened there?
00:30:37I don't know what to say
00:30:38Ah
00:30:42Pipe yourself down big lad
00:30:44Pipe down in you
00:30:45York cards are marked big lad
00:30:47Oh!
00:30:49Listen, what it looked like to me was you tried to get under Apollo
00:30:52and then you just misjudged it.
00:30:55Have you seen the length of his legs?
00:30:57I mean, yeah, they come up to...
00:30:58Oh, look!
00:31:01Apollo?
00:31:02Yeah, it was hard to see down there.
00:31:03Yeah.
00:31:05Give it up for Jason and, of course, our gladiators.
00:31:10Apart from Viper, I 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. It's 16-2.
00:31:19Time for one of our new events, Everest.
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.
00:31:27It's Everest!
00:31:29Everest.
00:31:31A brand new event featuring the highest freefall ever on gladiators.
00:31:38Contender and gladiator must push a 220kg sliding wall
00:31:43across a 10m platform.
00:31:45Each trying to shove their opponent over the edge
00:31:48into a chilling 16-foot drop.
00:31:52When the siren sounds, the platform tilts,
00:31:55first giving the contender the advantage
00:31:57before shifting in favour of the gladiator.
00:32:01Who 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!
00:32:11Facing Everest first is Gale.
00:32:14But which gladiator will you be up against?
00:32:17Let's find out using our gladiator selector!
00:32:25Oh, Cyclone!
00:32:27You will be taking on Cyclone, Gale.
00:32:31How do you feel about that?
00:32:32Oh, good grief!
00:32:35That says it all.
00:32:36Good grief.
00:32:37Now let's find out who you'll be taking on, Emily.
00:32:42Who will it be?
00:32:43It is...
00:32:45Diamond, no!
00:32:46Oh!
00:32:47Dynamite!
00:32:50Right, Dynamite for you, are you happy?
00:32:52Yeah, two explosive powerhouses, let's have it.
00:32:55Perfect.
00:32:56All right, without further ado,
00:32:57it's time to play...
00:32:58Everest!
00:33:01First 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, step forward!
00:33:31Bonjour, says Emily.
00:33:33Oh, this is going to be good.
00:33:36Take your positions!
00:33:43Contender, ready!
00:33:46Gladiator, ready!
00:33:50Three, two, one!
00:33:53It's a crash into the wall,
00:33:55and I just wonder if this event
00:33:57will suit Emily's rugby background
00:34:00down to the ground,
00:34:01if you'll forgive the pun.
00:34:03That wall tips the scales at 220 kilos.
00:34:07Add the weight of the contender
00:34:08and 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
00:34:18against the gladiator!
00:34:20And I don't think Dynamite
00:34:21will be able to arrest this slide!
00:34:24She's going down!
00:34:30Time for a worm on Everest!
00:34:33Gladiators, we give you everything!
00:34:36Emily showed fantastic strength
00:34:39before exploding into action
00:34:41to blow Dynamite's fuse!
00:34:44You've got to be proud of yourself there!
00:34:46I can't believe what has happened!
00:34:47I mean, like,
00:34:48Massa Kudos!
00:34:49That was a challenge!
00:34:50She is strong!
00:34:53And Dynamite,
00:34:54despite the result,
00:34:55I mean, the crowd was going wild!
00:34:56You've got a lot of your fans in here tonight!
00:34:58Yeah!
00:34:59I'm the smallest gladiator,
00:35:01and this is probably the biggest game,
00:35:02and it just kind of shows that
00:35:04no matter what size you are,
00:35:06whether you're big and small,
00:35:07you can honestly do anything
00:35:08you set your mind to!
00:35:09Brilliant!
00:35:10Emily, it's a massive win for you!
00:35:12All I've got to say is...
00:35:1410 points!
00:35:15Yes!
00:35:18Next, hoping for victory on Everest,
00:35:21it's Gail!
00:35:24And she is facing Cyclone!
00:35:27Get it, get it, get it, get it!
00:35:37Contender and gladiator,
00:35:38step forward!
00:35:47Is it me,
00:35:48or is it getting windy in here?
00:35:52Take your positions!
00:35:59Contender,
00:36:00ready!
00:36:03Gladiator,
00:36:05ready!
00:36:08Three,
00:36:09two,
00:36:10one!
00:36:11Oh, I've been waiting for this!
00:36:13It's Gail against Cyclone!
00:36:15But the way that the gladiator started,
00:36:17it might not be a storm that lasts long!
00:36:20Look at it go!
00:36:21Gail goes down!
00:36:23The wind has been knocked out of our contender!
00:36:30Another event in which to fear facing Cyclone!
00:36:33That was a breeze!
00:36:36That is a tough, tough, tough task!
00:36:39I mean, Cyclone,
00:36:40just awesome!
00:36:41Yeah, it was so scary,
00:36:42watching her running towards me,
00:36:43I was like,
00:36:44oh dear!
00:36:46And I'm a bit like that,
00:36:47whenever she's near me,
00:36:49I tell you,
00:36:49oh, oh, hello!
00:36:52Better luck in the next event,
00:36:53I have to say,
00:36:54but please give it up for Gail, everyone!
00:36:5910 points for Emily!
00:37:01And with Cyclone blowing Gail away,
00:37:03look at the scores now!
00:37:05Emily leads 17-10!
00:37:09Up on Everest tonight is Mark,
00:37:11but which gladiator will you be battling?
00:37:24Giant!
00:37:25He is giant!
00:37:27How do you feel about that?
00:37:27I want the biggest,
00:37:29I want the best,
00:37:29let's get out of it!
00:37:30Okay,
00:37:31fighting words from Mark!
00:37:33Now,
00:37:33let's find out who you'll be playing,
00:37:34Jason!
00:37:46Bionic!
00:37:47Oh,
00:37:47you ready to go head to head with Bionic?
00:37:49Nothing much to say,
00:37:50let's get after it!
00:37:51Yes!
00:37:52Yes,
00:37:52let's get after it,
00:37:53he says,
00:37:53okay,
00:37:54here we go,
00:37:55it's time to play Everest!
00:37:59First up,
00:38:00it's Jason versus Bionic,
00:38:01who's ready for his Everest debut,
00:38:04and he'll be looking to play a blinder!
00:38:08Contender and gladiator,
00:38:11step forward!
00:38:22take your positions!
00:38:26Contender,
00:38:28ready!
00:38:31Contender,
00:38:33ready!
00:38:36Three,
00:38:37two,
00:38:39one!
00:38:40Oh,
00:38:41I hope that glass is tough,
00:38:43they have smashed into the wall,
00:38:45and look at Bionic now,
00:38:47he's starting to make Jason slide,
00:38:50but,
00:38:50Jason's grip is true,
00:38:52he knows the tactic,
00:38:54he's gotta just stay up there,
00:38:55give it all he's got,
00:38:57until that platform starts to tilt,
00:38:59and here it comes!
00:39:01Now 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,
00:39:11and the Primate is winning!
00:39:14Bionic's functions aren't computing,
00:39:17it's a system error!
00:39:18Jason wins!
00:39:28Bionic started well,
00:39:30but it was all about the tilt,
00:39:31and when it came Man Beat Machine,
00:39:34time beat Tees!
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,
00:39:41oh, 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,
00:39:50I've got a little bit more,
00:39:52and we did it!
00:39:53You certainly did!
00:39:55Bionic is the battle of the North East up there!
00:39:58I'll tell you what,
00:39:59when that tilt comes,
00:40:00it's extremely difficult,
00:40:02so well done Jason!
00:40:03Thank you!
00:40:07Next hoping to conquer Everest,
00:40:09is Mark!
00:40:12who is facing Giants!
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,
00:40:28from the mountain!
00:40:30And that's going to be no mean feat,
00:40:32the difference in size and strength between these two is gigantic!
00:40:38Contender and Gladiator,
00:40:40step forward!
00:40:44Come 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 your positions!
00:40:58Contender, ready!
00:41:03Gladiator, ready!
00:41:07Three!
00:41:09Two!
00:41:10One!
00:41:11I can't think of anything more frightening,
00:41:14than seeing a Giant through the glass screen!
00:41:16No wonder Mark's not looking at him!
00:41:19He's pushing hard,
00:41:20but 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,
00:41:31and then he'll try and get those leg muscles up and moving,
00:41:34to push Giant back!
00:41:37And now Giant's going!
00:41:41Mark knows he's got to get this finished,
00:41:44before the platform starts to tilt the other way!
00:41:48Inch by inch,
00:41:49step by step,
00:41:51time's running out for Mark!
00:41:52He's got to do it now!
00:41:54This is his last chance!
00:41:56And he has done it!
00:41:58Push it through!
00:41:59It's not David,
00:42:01it's Mark who's beaten Goliath!
00:42:05Well Giant looks stunned,
00:42:07but ultimately Mark takes the victory,
00:42:09and ten points!
00:42:13We're pushing real good!
00:42:14That is extraordinary!
00:42:17All I can say is just,
00:42:19thank you to the fans!
00:42:20As soon as I heard you screaming,
00:42:22tilt, tilt, cheer!
00:42:23I knew I had an opportunity!
00:42:25But Kly's a strong man,
00:42:26a real strong man!
00:42:27Come on big man, tell us!
00:42:29Oh Brad,
00:42:30I thought I played the perfect game!
00:42:31Yeah, yeah!
00:42:32I heard the tilt,
00:42:33I felt the thing starting to go,
00:42:35I was one second away from it!
00:42:36Yeah!
00:42:37But it's too late!
00:42:38Yeah!
00:42:39Love it!
00:42:39Ten points,
00:42:41and a teacher!
00:42:44So 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!
00:42:53Come on!
00:42:55Our next event is The Edge!
00:42:57And for the gladiators,
00:42:58this is all about the tackles!
00:43:00You betcha Barnes,
00:43:00yes, tackles are vital!
00:43:02We're looking for technique,
00:43:03accuracy,
00:43:04and most of all...
00:43:07Timing!
00:43:07This is The Edge!
00:43:10The Edge!
00:43:13Contender and gladiator are about to face off
00:43:15on this formidable steel structure,
00:43:18suspended 30 feet above the arena floor!
00:43:21One slip up,
00:43:22one 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?
00:43:33First on The Edge for the female contenders,
00:43:37it's Gail!
00:43:40And she is hoping to dodge Fury!
00:43:53Three!
00:43:58Three!
00:43:59Two!
00:44:00One!
00:44:01Gail!
00:44:03Seven points down on Emily,
00:44:04so she needs a good score here, and with a leap at the end she gets her first two points.
00:44:10Going right down the left hand edge, and she does the same the other way,
00:44:14and evades Fury's push to score another two, and she's taking on this game quite literally.
00:44:20It is all about the edge for Gayle, and she's got her timing right. That's six points,
00:44:25this is a great run, and she's going again really quickly. Fury's there to stop her now though,
00:44:31and to stop her fully.
00:44:38Gayle started with a real spring in her step, whilst Fury played a game of three Ws, wait, watch, wallop.
00:44:49You did fantastic Gayle. So I had to time it perfectly, I knew she was there like, iron me up,
00:44:55I was her prey, but I just had to take the leap of faith and get over to the other
00:44:58side,
00:44:59and luckily I managed a few times, so absolutely buzzing.
00:45:03Fury, happy with the tackle? Yeah, I mean, coming into this, I never expected to enjoy that game as much
00:45:08as I do,
00:45:09because you know, many deaf people struggle with balance, so I surprise myself every time I get up there anyway.
00:45:14Yeah, absolutely. That is Gayle and Fury. Brilliant. Well played everybody.
00:45:21Next, 30 feet up above the arena, it's Emily. And she is up against Dynamite.
00:45:37Contender, ready.
00:45:42Gladiator, ready.
00:45:50So 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. That left Dynamite all of her days.
00:46:03Four points already for Emily. She's bouncing across the edge.
00:46:08Dynamite cannot get anywhere nearer. They're not speaking the same language up there.
00:46:13It's going to be a maximum for Emily. 10 points.
00:46:1610 points. 10 points. 10 points. Magnifique. You get the idea.
00:46:22So for the second time tonight, Emily defeats Dynamite. What a performance.
00:46:30Wow. Do you know what? That was one of the quickest edges I've ever seen. You were so fast.
00:46:35Oh, that is absolutely terrifying. I'm a land mammal. Don't put me in the air.
00:46:40Yeah, she said she was scared of heights. She's not very scared up there.
00:46:43You didn't look scared. Did you look down? Good grief, no.
00:46:47I mean, I don't have anything to say other than 10 points.
00:46:54Emily's incredible efforts on the edge means that she's got even more of an edge over Gayle now.
00:46:59An 11-point lead for the Eliminator.
00:47:02Up on the edge for the male contenders, it is Mark.
00:47:08And he's got to avoid Apollo.
00:47:17Contender, ready.
00:47:22Gladiator, ready.
00:47:31Down the outside has been the key to scoring points so far tonight. And that's the route Mark's taken as
00:47:36well.
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. He gets into that spot in the middle.
00:48:06And then there looks like there's no space at all.
00:48:08Yeah, okay. Now this is your game. I think the stat is you've got seven takedowns out of ten now.
00:48:15Pretty good stats, can't lie, yeah. But look, he's a fantastic competitor, Mark.
00:48:19One crossing, two points. Brilliant stuff!
00:48:27Next on the edge, it's Jason.
00:48:32And he is up against Steele!
00:48:39Let's go!
00:48:41Contender, ready!
00:48:47Gladiator, ready!
00:48:52Three, two, one!
00:48:55We know the deal by now. The 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. In fact, make that six!
00:49:06And Steele's going! He got that badly wrong!
00:49:10And while Steele lays dented all the way down there, Jason can hop across to his heart's content
00:49:18and score a maximum ten. Jason just too fast. And it was at this moment, Steele knew he'd messed up.
00:49:30Oh, wow! You've got to be so happy with that.
00:49:33Oh, that was fantastic. Nerve-wracking.
00:49:35What people do understand when you watch it on TV, it doesn't look that high.
00:49:39When you're up there, oh, it's another story. Another story.
00:49:43Yeah, it is very, very high up. Steele, you went for a Hail Mary tackle and just missed him.
00:49:48Yeah, he was a little bit too quick. My time was a little bit off. I'll learn and move on.
00:49:52But yeah, fair play, well done. You 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, the final chance for our contenders to show us everything they can do.
00:50:12Well, are we talking about balance? Not actually everything.
00:50:15I'm like, we're not going to make them like boiling egg, are we?
00:50:17What? Although to be fair, an egg and spoon race would make a very good twist on the balance beam.
00:50:22Enough with the eggs. Pop Scratch? No! This is the 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. Gale has it all to do.
00:50:41Contenders ready!
00:50:44Emily, you will go on my first whistle. Gale, you will go on my second whistle.
00:50:51Three, two, one!
00:50:54Emily is away, and a five and a half seconds lead is more than healthy for any Eliminator.
00:51:01Now it's Gale's turn. She's got to go, and she's got to go mightily fast.
00:51:06Oh, a problem here, though, for Emily. She's swinging helplessly on that rope, and look at Gale.
00:51:11She's caught up. Emily's lead has melted like the ice cream that Gale makes.
00:51:17She can only concentrate on looking forward. Gale's got her own problems on that pesky rope.
00:51:24Emily takes to the trapeze. But she had a struggle getting it unclicked. She made a circus out of that.
00:51:30A step onto the cargo net. I think Emily's got her lead back just about.
00:51:35Gale trying to make progress. Oh, there's a slip! There's a slip from Emily, and Gale will have seen that!
00:51:41Now, can't she take advantage? Oh, first the slip, then the cliff again!
00:51:46Very steady swing from Gale. Come on, you can't hang about, Gale! It was a nervous jump onto the cargo
00:51:52net.
00:51:53Emily already at the top, and with time to adjust her knee support before going across to the zip wire.
00:52:01It looks as though she's flying through to victory in this Eliminator.
00:52:05Gale's got a safe 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. Where has Gale gone?
00:52:17Emily effortlessly across the beam. Gale's way behind. And now it comes down to Emily versus the Travelator.
00:52:26She is just a few steps away from a place in the quarterfinal, but that's a misstep.
00:52:31Luckily for Emily, she's still got time to have another go before Gale is on the scene.
00:52:38Deep breaths for our contender in blue. Gale's getting a hurry on now. She's got Emily in her
00:52:44sights. Emily with another trip there, and down again she goes! It is agony for Team Emily. Oh,
00:52:52but look at Gale! She's stumbled off the beam! It's back to the start for her. She's going to try
00:52:58that
00:52:59again as Emily focuses on trying the Travelator again. This time, surely it has to be! Her time lucky
00:53:07for Emily! No, she can't hold on! And now there's a bigger question. Can she hold on to the lead
00:53:15that
00:53:15she's had all Eliminator? Because here's Gale! They're neck and neck! Emily sticks her neck out first and
00:53:23goes again. She has to do it this time, but she's tiring. Oh, it's Gale! Gale's going to grab the
00:53:30glory
00:53:30here, but she's out of steam as well. We've never, ever seen an Eliminator finish like this, if they
00:53:38can finish. This time they go together. It looks as though Emily has got the momentum. And finally,
00:53:46she makes it to the top and makes it through to the quarterfinals. Elation for Emily and all her fans.
00:53:54And here comes Gale for second place. I don't think we all need an ice cream.
00:54:02What an Eliminator that was! Unbelievable!
00:54:11Full credit to Emily. She had the lead. She lost the lead. But through it all,
00:54:16she kept the resolve to reach the finish first. You're a quarter-finalist on Gladiators!
00:54:22Oh no! The travelators are nasty one, right? That is awful. It doesn't matter what height you are,
00:54:30but my little legs, my little legs could only take me so far. Yeah. But that was absolutely
00:54:36grass. Like, gave it everything. We're going head to head twice. I am tired. Tired you may be,
00:54:45but you gave it your all. And look, we'll see you in the quarter-finals! Yeah! Congratulations!
00:54:50Congratulations! Okay, well, it's time to go. Emily was leaving your plan, and all of a sudden,
00:54:57you came from nowhere right at the end, and it was neck and neck. It was so tight, I promise
00:55:01you,
00:55:01at the bottom of the travelator. And then it just did the damage. The travelator is the killer,
00:55:06is it not? Yeah, I did my best. I just tried to run my own race full-time. But yeah,
00:55:12Emily is just a
00:55:13great confessor. It's been an absolute brilliant day. Thank you so much to everyone of you. I'm just a
00:55:20wee ice cream girl from Ayrshire, but you've really melted my heart tonight. Brilliant. Thank you,
00:55:25Gail. Thank you, quarter-finalist. Emily, everyone!
00:55:36As Gail and Emily reunite with their families for commiserations and celebrations,
00:55:41it's over to the male contenders. Mark leads Jason by 28 points to 22,
00:55:47and that converts to a three seconds head start. We've seen Mark's speed tonight,
00:55:52and you'll need it to stay in front.
00:55:57Contenders, ready! Mark, you will go on my first whistle. Jason, you will go on my second whistle.
00:56:07Three, two, one.
00:56:11A really fast start by Mark, leaping over the first hurdle. Here comes Jason, and he looks pretty
00:56:17jaunty too. I think this might be a very fast eliminator. Mark's made really short work of the
00:56:23rope. A few more problems for Jason behind him. And look at Mark go, taking on the overhead ladder,
00:56:30two runs at a time. It looks as though our teacher from Essex has done his eliminator homework.
00:56:37Hang on though, have a look at this. Jason is closer than I thought until then. He's collapsed into
00:56:43the bottom of the net there. It was a bad jump, and it just gives Mark all the extra impetus
00:56:49he needs
00:56:50for a solid and quick climb. Kelly, Thomas and Ava roar him across to the zip wire. Mark is flying,
00:56:59and it's a textbook landing, as you might expect. Jason is summoning up his spirit from those years
00:57:05in the wrestling ring. He's not out for the camp just yet. Now, 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.
00:57:19He's finished, but look at this. Jason is there, and they're going to be going up the travelator together.
00:57:26I really don't know how Jason has made up the ground like that. Mark has to do this in one,
00:57:31but he can't hold on, and Jason can't take advantage. He's down at the bottom again as well.
00:57:40It's take two. The hare and the tortoise, the teacher and the wrestler, both absolutely bushed.
00:57:47Here goes Jason, and there goes Jason, and here comes Mark. This time he's got the speed to get to
00:57:56the top and swing through to victory. Well, for a brief moment, Jason had it,
00:58:05but he's been wrestled from his grasp. Here he comes to the top to finish.
00:58:10What an effort, what an eliminator.
00:58:19This was it, the moment when Jason's chances hit the floor,
00:58:24whilst Mark powered past him to hit the jackpot.
00:58:30That was extraordinary again.
00:58:33Jason, how do you feel?
00:58:35It's been incredible. I don't give anything a heart. Mark was incredible.
00:58:39The gladiators are monsters. It's been a fantastic time. Thanks to you, to Braden,
00:58:44to everyone that's travelled from around the country to come watch us. Thank you so much.
00:58:50Thank you, Jason. You've been a brilliant contender, and we wish you all the best.
00:58:55That's Jason, everybody.
00:58:56Brilliant.
00:58:58An emotional day for you, I guess, too, Mark. All the kids you teach,
00:59:03all the stuff you're trying to teach them, go in for stuff. Don't be afraid to do stuff. And here
00:59:07you are, mate. You are in the quarterfinals.
00:59:15Honestly, the whole day is just, it's felt like a dream. I can't explain it to you. From watching
00:59:21Gladiators as a child to then being here on myself, and then seeing my beautiful children over there,
00:59:28screaming and shouting all the way. I just, I can't explain the emotions. I actually feel like I'm
00:59:32dreaming. It's incredible. It's been a great day, mate. You've been an unbelievable competitor.
00:59:36Congratulations. You are in the quarterfinals. Brilliant stuff. What about that? Give it up.
00:59:43Jason and Mark, everyone.
00:59:51What a show. Oh, look at this. What a show. And listen, guys, I'm just going to say,
00:59:56I've seen some great banners. All of your banners are incredible tonight. They are brilliant bans.
01:00:00Look, someone's even made a banner for me, eh? Look at that.
01:00:04Pretty good. This crowd just can't get enough of me. The crowd love me, bans. They love me.
01:00:11Anyway, we'll see you next time in the arena for more Gladiators.
01:00:15I love them.
01:00:20Could you take on the Gladiators? If you've got the strength, speed and skill to be a contender for
01:00:27the next series, then go to bbc.co.uk slash gladiators to apply. Are you ready?
01:00:36Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? Do you have the will and the skill? Do you have the
01:00:48speed,
01:00:49the strength, the heart to be a winner? It's not for beginners. Get down in your soul.
01:00:59Are you a gladiator?
