00:00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiator? Do you have the will and the skill? Do you have the
00:00:21speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:25It's time for beginners to get down in your flow. Are you a creator?
00:00:59Are you a gladiator?
00:01:08Sheffield Arena, the home of gladiators.
00:01:11Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh.
00:01:17Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:01:28Welcome to Gladiators!
00:01:31Yeah!
00:01:32Alright!
00:01:33The show with the fittest contenders, the fittest gladiators, the fittest referees, and the fittest presenters.
00:01:48Tough crowd.
00:01:50Yeah.
00:01:51Let's meet tonight's contenders.
00:01:57I'm Sean, I'm 20 years old, I'm from Lancashire, and I'm a degree apprentice in the aerospace industry.
00:02:04Ever since I was at school, I've always loved airplanes, and when a degree of apprenticeships came up, I had
00:02:10to apply and I managed to get a role there.
00:02:13I discovered fitness from my dad, really. Growing up, he was always on the chin-up bar, he was always
00:02:18training. My dad was on gladiators in 1995, he got all the way to the semi-finals.
00:02:23You've obviously got the edge on me with youth, but just remember, your old dad will still beat you at
00:02:29an arm wrestle.
00:02:31He's gonna be the loudest person in that arena. Honestly, we might have to kick him out, I'm worried about
00:02:36that.
00:02:36I'm feeling dangerous!
00:02:38I call myself a bit of a hybrid athlete, but I'm driven, I'm strong, and I'm ready to take on
00:02:43all these gladiators and win this show.
00:02:46My name's Hindley, I'm 25, I'm from Cheshire, I'm a baker.
00:02:51I've been running an Asian fusion bakery for the last two years in Newcastle.
00:02:54They're all Asian fusion-based, so our sandwiches, we use Italian focaccia and the Korean beef.
00:03:01I grew up around Asian food all my life, my mum's a massive foodie, and so I think it was
00:03:05inevitable that I did something in food.
00:03:07I train every single day, but my biggest strength is my problem-solving skills.
00:03:12Also lifting that really heavy mix there.
00:03:15If I didn't think I could win this, I wouldn't have entered. I didn't do anything half-baked.
00:03:21Please welcome Sean and Hindley!
00:03:38Please introduce yourself to everyone in the arena.
00:03:42I'm Sean Stephen, I'm 20 years old, and I live on a farm in Lancashire!
00:03:45Yes!
00:03:49Now this is interesting, this isn't our normal gladiators outfit. What's going on there?
00:03:53Yeah, sure, my dad was actually a contender in 1995.
00:03:58And this is this track, this is his track, yes.
00:04:00This is the original track, so only about ten people may have this in the world, so it's from his
00:04:05series.
00:04:06And I thought I'd do him proud and wear it today.
00:04:08As he got all the way to the semi-finals and, you know, we're quite competitive.
00:04:11I'm ready to take it one step further and beat him and get to the finals at least.
00:04:15That is great, I love it!
00:04:17That is Sean, everyone!
00:04:22Hindley, welcome to the show. Say hi to Sheffield Forest!
00:04:25Hello, my name's Hindley, I'm 25. I'm originally from Cheshire. I'm a baker, but now I live in Newcastle!
00:04:33Yeah!
00:04:34Your mum says she's very proud of you. Is she here tonight?
00:04:37Yes, she's just all the way over there.
00:04:40You're also into your CrossFit?
00:04:42Yeah, I've been doing that for the past ten years, since I was fifteen,
00:04:44and I've competed all around the UK and Asia and Europe as well.
00:04:48And you told us that you can do a handstand.
00:04:51Now, I've got to ask you, in front of everyone here, do you think you can do a handstand for
00:04:55us?
00:04:56Absolutely.
00:04:56Let's see it!
00:04:58Let's go, guys! Yeah!
00:05:01What about that?
00:05:03Dad, you can stand on your hands, can't you?
00:05:06Absolutely!
00:05:11That is Sean and Hindley!
00:05:16Now we've met our male contenders, it's time for them to take on...
00:05:20Condition!
00:05:22Playing collision for the male contenders, it's Sean!
00:05:27And he needs to avoid Phantom and Hammer!
00:05:31Yeah!
00:05:32Going in for the kids!
00:05:35Phantom's specialist skill is his stealth. Watch how he floats through this event!
00:05:41I won't be nice!
00:05:44Meanwhile, Hammer has the longest legs of all the gladiators.
00:05:47Great for collision, unless you're a contender!
00:05:52And Bionic!
00:05:54And Giant!
00:05:56Standing at six foot six, Bionic wears size 14 shoes and weighs 19 stone.
00:06:02Imagine that crashing into you.
00:06:05Completing the club of absolute giants is Giant!
00:06:09Everything about him is massive, including the problem he'll give contenders.
00:06:15To kick off the evening, let's hand over to our refereeing team of Lee Phillips, Sonia McLomer and the boss
00:06:21man, Mark Clattenburg.
00:06:23Contender!
00:06:24Ready!
00:06:29Gladiators!
00:06:30Ready!
00:06:34Three!
00:06:35Two!
00:06:36One!
00:06:37Away goes Sean, and straight away Bionic has a swing but misses.
00:06:42And Sean is doing some very handy dodging with his first round to score two points.
00:06:47He's sprinting across to try and get another two.
00:06:50Little bit of a problem, but he's evaded the legs of Giant, well played.
00:06:54Hammer gets a touch.
00:06:56Sean, he's wrapped up now and he stumbles, but he's upped the score again, he's on to six.
00:07:01This is really good from Sean, he gives Phantom the slip, he gets past Hammer.
00:07:06In comes Giant, who's in the way and bumps him to the floor.
00:07:11All over for Sean, but he's done pretty well.
00:07:20It's not just contenders and gladiators who take the hits in this show.
00:07:24The equipment isn't safe either.
00:07:27Sean's helmet cam takes a hammering.
00:07:29Anyone got the tape?
00:07:31Yes!
00:07:32Come on, champion!
00:07:34Now, let's have a look at the moment when you were taken down by Giant.
00:07:39Look at this, here we go.
00:07:40Boom!
00:07:41I think it was Giant's rear end.
00:07:44Yes.
00:07:46Yeah, that's it.
00:07:48That's it.
00:07:49Oh, that's a...
00:07:51Yeah, show's gone a bit weird there.
00:07:54That is Sean, everyone, and our brilliant gladiators.
00:07:59Next-to-face collision, it's Hindley!
00:08:06Contender, ready!
00:08:12Gladiators, ready!
00:08:16Three, two, one!
00:08:20Well, Hindley gave us a confident wave before the start, and look at that!
00:08:24He's caught the gladiators on the hop!
00:08:26Now Mark Klanberg says, put the ball in the net, not in the basket, that'll confuse things.
00:08:31He's going for the same technique, this time they're onto him.
00:08:34Hindley has to stop and go again, but he does score to make it four.
00:08:39How about equalling Sean's total of six?
00:08:42Well, he's steadily got it in him, but he's got a problem now.
00:08:44He must keep moving, that's part of the rules!
00:08:47And now he's moving down to the floor.
00:08:50Get down, get down!
00:08:52Get down, get down!
00:08:54Get down, get down!
00:08:55This was the moment that Hindley lost his balance, and got whisked away.
00:09:01Put it there Hindley, good job man!
00:09:04Guys, Hindley is a contender, what'd you make of him?
00:09:06I am so sorry for hitting you in the head about four times.
00:09:10No, I thought he was excellent, but one of the things about him that I know is that he's a
00:09:13baker.
00:09:14Yes.
00:09:14And I love cake.
00:09:15So I have to get you down as soon as possible.
00:09:17We need a cake from you.
00:09:19Can we do that?
00:09:20Can we do that?
00:09:20Absolutely!
00:09:23Hindley the baker might be hoping to rise to the top, but after one event it's Sean who leads by
00:09:28six points to four.
00:09:31It's time now to meet the female contenders for tonight.
00:09:36My name's Ella, I'm 28, I'm from Bournemouth, and I'm an army doctor.
00:09:43I'm very proud to be an army doctor.
00:09:45It's a privilege to be able to see patients in the way that I do.
00:09:49I get to see people and support people out when they're doing their job on exercise or on deployment.
00:09:55I do think I have a cool job.
00:09:57I've done lots of different sports over the years, so I did like athletics at school.
00:10:01Gymnastics was one of my main sports growing up.
00:10:03I started doing rugby about the same time.
00:10:07I'm doing gladiators because the breadth of skills that it covers is very much within my comfort zone.
00:10:13I can't wait to just get in the arena and show them what I can do, because I can beat
00:10:16them, because I know I'm stronger.
00:10:23My name's Ciara, I'm 29, I'm a beauty therapist from Derry in Northern Ireland.
00:10:31I think it's so important to look good.
00:10:33Always have to make sure the hair is slicked back, jewellery on, bit of makeup, blusher, perfume.
00:10:38There's a routine, but it works.
00:10:41If I look good, I feel good, I train good, I win.
00:10:47I love throwing heavy weights above my head.
00:10:49It's just so much fun.
00:10:50It feels empowering to be strong as a woman.
00:10:53I think my clients will be terrified.
00:10:55They'll see this different side to me on gladiators.
00:10:58They'll never come back.
00:11:00People might underestimate me because I'm a beauty therapist and I like to look good,
00:11:05but I'm stronger than a lot of people think.
00:11:07The gladiators better watch out, because behind the beauty, there's a beast.
00:11:12Please give a warm welcome to Ella and Ciara.
00:11:30Ella, welcome to the show.
00:11:33Please introduce yourself to the arena.
00:11:35I'm Ella, I'm 28, and I'm an army doctor from Bournemouth.
00:11:39Yes!
00:11:41You're a bit of a natural sportswoman, eh?
00:11:43Yeah, I'm from a very active family.
00:11:45My mum and dad, who are both in the audience.
00:11:46My dad does taekwondo, parkour.
00:11:49My mum does a bit of parkour as well.
00:11:51And, yeah, we grew up in a house.
00:11:52There was, like, ropes to get upstairs,
00:11:54and, like, bars on every window to swing through and everything.
00:11:57I think you'll find that's a prison.
00:11:59It's not a prison.
00:12:01Everyone, give her that for Ella!
00:12:03There you go!
00:12:06Ciara, welcome to the show.
00:12:08Introduce yourself to Sheffield.
00:12:10Hi, Sheffield.
00:12:11My name's Ciara.
00:12:12I'm 29.
00:12:12I'm a beauty therapist from County Derry in Northern Ireland.
00:12:15Yeah!
00:12:18You're a beauty therapist.
00:12:20Yeah, but I'm rough and ready too,
00:12:21so I'm ready to give it my all.
00:12:23Now, we're here at Gladiators.
00:12:25My question to you is, who do you want to take on?
00:12:28I really want to take on Cyclone.
00:12:30I may be a beauty therapist,
00:12:33but things are about to get ugly.
00:12:35Ooh!
00:12:36Fighting words from Ciara.
00:12:38We wish you all the very best of luck.
00:12:39That's Ella and Ciara!
00:12:43Now we've met our female contenders,
00:12:45it's time for their first event.
00:12:49Collision.
00:12:51Playing collision for the female contenders.
00:12:54Give it up for Ella!
00:12:55Yes!
00:12:58And she's going to need to dodge Sabre and Fire!
00:13:05Sabre's no copycat when it comes to collision.
00:13:08She's fierce, wild and untameable.
00:13:15When fire comes flying through the air,
00:13:17contenders won't be breathing easily.
00:13:19They'd better keep moving.
00:13:23And Athena and Electro!
00:13:29Electro has taken part in collision more times than any female gladiator.
00:13:33The energy she supplies is electrifying!
00:13:37And it's Athena who completes this ferocious line-up.
00:13:41Apparently she'd love to be an eagle.
00:13:43Golden!
00:13:48Contender!
00:13:49Ready!
00:13:53Gladiators!
00:13:54Ready!
00:13:58Three!
00:13:59Three!
00:13:59Two!
00:14:00One!
00:14:02Go on then, Ella.
00:14:03Show us what you're made of.
00:14:04She's managed to escape the first two gladiators,
00:14:07but Sabre's in her way now.
00:14:08Can't take her down.
00:14:10Two points on the board and quickly racing back across.
00:14:13She's managed to evade Electro.
00:14:16And it's going to be another two-point score for Ella.
00:14:18She looks determined.
00:14:20She looks quick.
00:14:20But now she's hit the floor.
00:14:22And she's got to recover quickly.
00:14:25Bouncing back to her feet.
00:14:26She's across the score again.
00:14:28Six points thrown into the net, that one.
00:14:31Ella's now enjoying herself.
00:14:33She's fighting off Electro's legs.
00:14:36Beating Athena with ease.
00:14:38Oh, this is wonderful to watch.
00:14:40Go on, Ella, keep going.
00:14:41She's got such strength.
00:14:43But even though she keeps going down to her knees on the bridge,
00:14:46she will not be deflected away from her goal.
00:14:50Down again.
00:14:52But if she gets up, we could be talking records here.
00:14:54She's going through.
00:14:56And it's another two points.
00:14:57Ella's on to 12.
00:14:59Time is against her now.
00:15:01But it is 12 points for Ella.
00:15:04And that is the highest score on collision ever by any contender.
00:15:11Just brilliant from Ella, the army doctor who left the gladiators needing treatment.
00:15:16She's here to win.
00:15:20You took a few blows.
00:15:21I got a bit in the nose.
00:15:23Yeah.
00:15:23I feel all right, yeah.
00:15:24Yeah, okay, well, luckily you're a doctor.
00:15:26You can sort yourself out after.
00:15:27But that is a collision record.
00:15:30Six crossings.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:3312 points.
00:15:36Fantastic.
00:15:39Next on collision, it's Kira.
00:15:47Contender, ready.
00:15:53Gladiators, ready.
00:15:583, 2, 1.
00:16:01Kira with the same approach as Ella.
00:16:04Watching carefully but using her speed and agility too.
00:16:07The ball kicked out of her hand though by fire.
00:16:09So no score on the first crossing.
00:16:12Second crossing is a freeze.
00:16:15A cross for her first point in the net.
00:16:18Watching carefully again.
00:16:19Oh, they've got her.
00:16:20Two of them to take her down.
00:16:23Just two points for Kira.
00:16:29Well, she might be a pro with the eyebrow tweezer.
00:16:32Welcome to the gladiator leg squeezer.
00:16:37One crossing, two points.
00:16:38That's a good start.
00:16:39Yeah, I'm buzzing with that.
00:16:40We'll take that.
00:16:41It's only the first game, so.
00:16:42Onwards and upwards, that is Kira and of course our gladiators.
00:16:48A record score on collision sees Ella on 12 points to Kira's two.
00:16:52But there's plenty of events remaining for her to rack up some more.
00:16:57Next up, we've got a brand new event named after a famous mountain.
00:17:01Now that is summit.
00:17:03Was that a mountain pun?
00:17:04Yep.
00:17:04Any more?
00:17:05No, peaked.
00:17:06Right.
00:17:07This is Everest.
00:17:08Good joke, Kira.
00:17:09No, not a good joke.
00:17:12Everest.
00:17:14A brand new event featuring the highest free fall ever on gladiators.
00:17:20Contender and gladiator must push a 220 kilogram sliding wall across a 10 metre platform, each trying to shove their
00:17:29opponent over the edge into a chilling 16 foot drop.
00:17:35When the siren sounds, the platform tilts, first giving the contender the advantage before shifting in favour of the gladiator.
00:17:43Who will conquer the summit and who will face the terrifying plummet?
00:17:48It's time to push it.
00:17:51Push it real good.
00:17:54Facing the mighty Everest is Sean, but which gladiator will you be up against?
00:18:02Who are you going to take on?
00:18:04Is it Apollo?
00:18:07It's Hammer!
00:18:10There you have it.
00:18:12You'll be taking on Hammer.
00:18:14I'm excited to be strong.
00:18:16We'll see how it goes.
00:18:17Now, let's find out, Hindley, who you are taking on.
00:18:30How do you feel about taking on Viper?
00:18:36Buzzing, I'm ready.
00:18:37Buzzing, ready.
00:18:38Let's see how it goes.
00:18:40Without further ado, it is time to play Everest.
00:18:46And time for Sean to face off against Hammer, who might be 29 kilos heavier, but Sean has youth on
00:18:54his side and gladiator's heritage in his blood.
00:18:57This should be some battle.
00:19:01Contender and gladiator, step forward.
00:19:08Sean walking slowly.
00:19:11Not surprised.
00:19:13He looks terrified.
00:19:14My arena!
00:19:15This is the lion's stand!
00:19:17I'm terrified.
00:19:20Take your positions!
00:19:26Contender, ready!
00:19:30Contender, ready!
00:19:31Radiator, ready!
00:19:36Three, two, one!
00:19:40It's important for Sean to start well as they both third into the screen.
00:19:45And look at Hammer already driving.
00:19:47Sean's clinging on.
00:19:49These first few seconds are vital because if he can just stay there and stand his ground, that's easier said
00:19:55than done.
00:19:56Soon the platform will tilt in his favour.
00:20:00Hammer!
00:20:00Hammer is trying his best to shove him off the end before that happens, but here we go!
00:20:06It's tilt time!
00:20:07And this is where Sean might be able to gain some ground and push that screen back.
00:20:12Listen to the squeals of anguish that are coming from Sean.
00:20:16Hammer's more the strong, silent type.
00:20:19And Hammer's pushing back, despite being at a huge disadvantage.
00:20:24I can't help but wonder if Sean screaming like that is using up all of his energy.
00:20:29Because here we go!
00:20:30The tilt goes the other way!
00:20:32And it will be time for Hammer to finish the job!
00:20:38Sean is cooked with salt and pepper.
00:20:42A very happy prancing Hammer.
00:20:45And this is why the contender stood strong for as long as he could.
00:20:49But once everything shifted, there was only one outcome.
00:20:53I would ask you how you'd prepare for an event like this, but I don't really think you can.
00:21:00It's tough man, that's 220 kilos or something, so yeah, I really enjoyed it.
00:21:05Well, Hammer, it certainly was Hammer time.
00:21:07Yes, you put a real shift in, that was tough up there.
00:21:10But this is Hammer's event.
00:21:12Oh!
00:21:13That is Sean, and of course, Hammer!
00:21:20Next up, hoping to conquer Everest, it's Hindley!
00:21:26And he is up against Viper!
00:21:33The Viper has the edge in height and weight, but also in cunning and trickery.
00:21:38Can Hindley avoid being bitten and defang the Viper?
00:21:45the parts.
00:21:46Contender and Gladiator!
00:21:48Step forward!ì±…!
00:21:54Viper
00:21:55gives it the raw! Is Hindley
00:21:58bothered? Nah!
00:22:02Take your positions
00:22:06Contender, ready
00:22:11Gladiator, ready
00:22:153, 2, 1
00:22:18Here comes the crash
00:22:20Kindly straight away using his lower center of gravity
00:22:24To try and get full force on that screen
00:22:26A word of warning for Viper
00:22:30He's clinging onto the side rail
00:22:31He's at it already, you can't do that
00:22:33Players can only have hands and bodies
00:22:36Against the wall
00:22:38Viper inching Hindley towards the edge
00:22:40But that might change now
00:22:42Here comes the tilt
00:22:44And look at Viper going
00:22:45He's sliding towards oblivion here
00:22:48If Hindley can keep on pushing
00:22:50And he'll do just that
00:22:52There's no stopping him
00:22:53He's roared on by his friends and family
00:22:56It's going to be a win for Hindley
00:23:01And pure joy for mum
00:23:05V really is for victory
00:23:07Not Viper
00:23:11There was no stopping our baker
00:23:13He was on a roll
00:23:19How do you feel?
00:23:21You're great
00:23:22You're a bit under pressure right from the off
00:23:24You pulled it back
00:23:25Absolutely, just don't give up
00:23:26Yeah, absolutely
00:23:28Sort of very slippy up there
00:23:30Viper lost your footing a bit
00:23:33Bradley
00:23:35What do you still here?
00:23:37Do us a favour
00:23:38Just retire
00:23:40Just retire
00:23:49It's every time I've ever heard him speak
00:23:54Well done mate
00:23:55Ten points
00:24:04Right, calm thoughts
00:24:05This is what helps me
00:24:06When I'm sad
00:24:07And upset
00:24:08And angry
00:24:08Please look after
00:24:18I mean
00:24:22He's just retired
00:24:23The panda
00:24:25Don't worry kids
00:24:26The medics made sure
00:24:28That panda was fine
00:24:29After two events
00:24:30Hindley's lead is black and white
00:24:32He's got 14 points
00:24:33Sean's got 6
00:24:36Facing the mighty Everest
00:24:37Is Ella
00:24:38But which gladiator
00:24:40Will you be up against?
00:24:47Cyclone
00:24:48How do you feel about that?
00:24:49She was the one I didn't want
00:24:50Really?
00:24:51Out of all of them?
00:24:52I'll put her in her place now
00:24:53It's fine
00:24:54Oh
00:24:54Fighting words
00:24:56Okay
00:24:56Now let's find out
00:24:58Who you'll be playing Kira
00:25:07You're up against Diamond
00:25:10Do you know what?
00:25:11She's an amazing gladiator
00:25:12So I'm ready for it
00:25:13Here we go then
00:25:14It's time to play Everest
00:25:20A cyclone
00:25:21On a mountain
00:25:22A terrifying combination
00:25:24But Ella must face this storm
00:25:27Head on
00:25:32Contender and gladiator
00:25:34Step forward
00:25:37Ella meet Cyclone
00:25:39Cyclone meet Ella
00:25:43I think that means hello
00:25:46But it could be goodbye
00:25:49We're about to find out
00:25:51Take your position
00:25:59Contender ready
00:26:04Gladiator
00:26:04Ready
00:26:083
00:26:092
00:26:101
00:26:12Cyclone looks as fierce as ever
00:26:13As she slams into the screen
00:26:15And Ella's got to get
00:26:17Some sort of traction in her legs
00:26:19Cyclone howling like a gale force wind
00:26:21And she's pushing like 1-2
00:26:24Ella's going to be thrown off the edge
00:26:26There's going to be no time for the tilt
00:26:29Blown away
00:26:38Well Cyclone made that look as easy as pushing a trolley around the supermarket
00:26:46Straight away she put you on the back foot
00:26:48Yeah I couldn't find a fitting for my feet so I couldn't stop it
00:26:51Okay Cyclone
00:26:52Your first mistake
00:26:54You said you're going to put me in my place
00:26:56I played that in my head
00:26:58Over
00:26:58And over
00:27:00And over
00:27:01And over
00:27:03And that's what gave me the power to get her off
00:27:05How many overs exactly?
00:27:08About 36
00:27:1036 overs
00:27:11Well thank goodness we've edited that
00:27:15Sadly no points
00:27:16But please put your hands together for Ella
00:27:18And Cyclone
00:27:22Next hoping to conquer Everest
00:27:24It's Kira
00:27:28And she's up against
00:27:29Diamond
00:27:36Diamond
00:27:37Diamond stands 7 inches taller than Kira
00:27:39And the power generated by those legs
00:27:41Surely makes her the favourite to stay on the mountain
00:27:47Contender and gladiator
00:27:49Step forward
00:27:59Don't be fooled by the smile Kira
00:28:02She's not up there to play nice
00:28:04Take your positions
00:28:10Contender
00:28:10Gladiator ready
00:28:14Gladiator ready
00:28:183
00:28:192
00:28:211
00:28:23Oh they have both raced into action there
00:28:26Diamond gets the wall moving first
00:28:29Weight lifter Kira though
00:28:31Planted well
00:28:32She's resisting
00:28:33She's got to stop the slide if she can
00:28:36Look at Diamond's technique
00:28:38Using all of her body weight
00:28:39Now trying to push with the knees
00:28:41And she is making progress
00:28:43She's got to do more though before the tilt comes
00:28:46And here it comes
00:28:48Now the odds have shifted
00:28:51They are hugely in Kira's favour
00:28:53And she's pushing hard
00:28:55Diamond hopes up slipping away
00:28:58And she's getting ready to take the jump down to defeat
00:29:03Brilliant Kira
00:29:04Just fantastic
00:29:09Well Diamonds are formed under pressure
00:29:11But when it gets too much
00:29:12They can be crushed as well
00:29:18Congratulations
00:29:19Just so happy
00:29:20I just thought hold on
00:29:21Until we get the tilt
00:29:23And then just give it my all
00:29:24And just push
00:29:25Well look
00:29:26You got the gladiator off
00:29:27That's 10 points
00:29:28Congratulations
00:29:28Oh hello Diamond
00:29:30Wow hi
00:29:32You don't look happy
00:29:33I'm not happy Barnes
00:29:35But well done
00:29:36Fair play
00:29:37You're a beauty
00:29:38I'm a beauty
00:29:39Looks like we're both beasts as well
00:29:4110 points to Kira
00:29:43And of course our gladiator Diamond
00:29:46What about that
00:29:50Give it a round of bone everyone
00:29:54A big win for Kira
00:29:56Brings her back level with Ella
00:29:58They're on 12 points each
00:30:00Okay folks
00:30:01We have a special announcement
00:30:04One of our gladiators has been injured
00:30:06And we're going to bring him out to talk about it
00:30:09Please welcome
00:30:10Legend
00:30:34Okay
00:30:35First things first
00:30:36Let me ask you
00:30:38What's happened
00:30:39To the arm
00:30:41Unfortunately I've damaged my bicep tendon
00:30:44And I'm going to be out for a little while
00:30:48How are you feeling about it Ledge
00:30:49I'll be honest Barnes
00:30:50I'm pretty devastated
00:30:54Devastated for you guys
00:30:58Because everyone knows
00:30:59You literally only come here to see me
00:31:11It is obviously very frustrating
00:31:14Not being able to take part in the event
00:31:16Mainly because we did testing this morning
00:31:18And even with one arm
00:31:20I'm still easily the strongest gladiator
00:31:24Thank you
00:31:32Thank you
00:31:33Well
00:31:35His arm may not work
00:31:37But his mouth still does
00:31:39But don't worry about Barnes
00:31:41Because he'll be back
00:31:42He will
00:31:42He's not going anywhere
00:31:43You'll see him in the arena
00:31:44During the series
00:31:45But for now
00:31:46On with the next event
00:31:48Hang tough
00:31:52Playing hang tough
00:31:54For the male contenders
00:31:56Here's Sean
00:31:59And he is swinging against
00:32:03Steel
00:32:11This is only Steel's second appearance
00:32:13On hang tough
00:32:14But he's in his element
00:32:16With a 100% record
00:32:23Contender ready
00:32:28Gladiator ready
00:32:323, 2, 1
00:32:36And they're away
00:32:38Hold on tight everybody
00:32:39That's what contender and gladiator
00:32:41Will have to do
00:32:42And remember
00:32:44This game isn't just about strength
00:32:46Even though it does take
00:32:47An awful lot of it
00:32:48To keep on those rings
00:32:49And keep on swinging
00:32:51You've got to try
00:32:52And plot your way across
00:32:53And avoid the gladiator
00:32:55And Sean made a bit of a mess
00:32:57Of that very early on
00:32:58And Steel's got him again here
00:33:00Sean's got to get rid of Steel
00:33:02If he can
00:33:03Steel is not letting go
00:33:04He's clamping his legs around now
00:33:07And Sean's got a real problem
00:33:10One hand for Steel
00:33:11No problem at all
00:33:12Sean's lost his shoe
00:33:14That normally happens on the wall
00:33:15What he mustn't do
00:33:17Is lose his grip
00:33:19Steel's giving him a bit of time
00:33:21Now to compose himself
00:33:22He's not going anywhere
00:33:23Sean
00:33:24He's just going to try
00:33:25And hang around
00:33:26Make sure he gets 5 points
00:33:29Steel's be calmed
00:33:30He can't get any momentum at all
00:33:32This is looking really good
00:33:34For the Sean Ado
00:33:35One last grab from Steel
00:33:37But he's out of time
00:33:39Sean gets 5 points
00:33:43Look at this
00:33:44Full credit to Sean's strength
00:33:45And determination
00:33:46But also the stitching
00:33:48In his costume
00:33:49Well done wardrobe
00:33:50A quality garment
00:33:52Wow
00:33:53That was sensational
00:33:54It was so good
00:33:56I've watched this game
00:33:57Since I was about 5 year old
00:33:58And I went in there
00:33:59With the mindset
00:34:00Of what I need to do
00:34:01And I did exactly that
00:34:02But fair play
00:34:03You're a big guy
00:34:04And I nearly went at 1 point
00:34:07I mean he's clearly
00:34:08Put his homework in
00:34:09We both lost a little bit of momentum
00:34:11But you kept your calm
00:34:12And he did a few more seconds
00:34:14And I would have managed
00:34:15To have him off
00:34:15But big up to yourself
00:34:16Mate well done
00:34:17That's Sean and Steel
00:34:21Next on the rings
00:34:22For the male contenders
00:34:23It's Hindley
00:34:26And he is taking on
00:34:29Nitro
00:34:37This is Nitro's first appearance
00:34:40In hanged up
00:34:41Since series 1
00:34:42And knowing this gladiator
00:34:44He'll be strictly focused
00:34:45On making sure he wins
00:34:49Contender
00:34:50Ready
00:34:55Gladiator
00:34:56Ready
00:35:00Three
00:35:01Two
00:35:03One
00:35:05Nitro straight into his groove
00:35:07Hindley looks more uncertain
00:35:10He's staring more at the gladiator
00:35:11Than the rings
00:35:12He's got to try and plot a path
00:35:14Through to the other side
00:35:15If he possibly can
00:35:17Look at the smoothness
00:35:18In Nitro's swing
00:35:20He's edging ever closer
00:35:21To the contender
00:35:22Watch out Hindley
00:35:23And hang on Hindley
00:35:25He nearly went
00:35:26With no gladiator
00:35:27Interference at all
00:35:28It's coming though
00:35:30And it's coming soon
00:35:32Hindley's legs
00:35:33Doing more work
00:35:34Than his arms
00:35:34Now it's Nitro's legs
00:35:36That are doing
00:35:37The business for him
00:35:39He's locked on
00:35:40All Hindley can do
00:35:42Is try and
00:35:43Keep the grip tight
00:35:45But I think
00:35:46There's only one outcome
00:35:47Here with 18 seconds
00:35:48To go
00:35:48Go on Hindley
00:35:50Can you do it?
00:35:52No you can't
00:35:55I've got a feeling
00:35:56Nitro might be mum's favourite
00:36:01For the first time tonight
00:36:02Hindley looked worried
00:36:04Nitro
00:36:05Well he's always a happy Harry
00:36:10I thought it was a C first swing
00:36:12And then I was like
00:36:13Hesitating straight away
00:36:14Yeah
00:36:15Yeah
00:36:15And I think
00:36:16He straight away
00:36:17You sensed it
00:36:18We had a bit of a moment
00:36:19Up there
00:36:19I gave him a little cuddle
00:36:21I then said
00:36:22Look
00:36:23Me and you together
00:36:24We're gonna fall
00:36:25One, two, three
00:36:26He came down perfectly
00:36:27I take care
00:36:28Of my contenders
00:36:30Hindley
00:36:30And Nitro
00:36:34A big result
00:36:35For Sean there
00:36:36As he cuts the deficit
00:36:37To three points
00:36:38Hindley on 14
00:36:39Sean 11
00:36:42First off
00:36:43For the female contenders
00:36:44Hoping to hang tough
00:36:45It's Ella
00:36:49And she
00:36:50Is up against
00:36:51Fury
00:36:59Whether on the ground
00:37:01Or in the air
00:37:01Where this gladiator
00:37:02Specialist skill
00:37:03Is always
00:37:04Always tackling
00:37:11Contender
00:37:12Ready
00:37:17Gladiator
00:37:18Ready
00:37:21Three
00:37:22Two
00:37:23One
00:37:26Can Ella
00:37:28Get all the way
00:37:28Across
00:37:29And gain
00:37:29Ten points
00:37:30From hang tough
00:37:32Look at
00:37:33Fury's technique
00:37:34Not just about
00:37:35The arm strength
00:37:36You've got to use
00:37:37Your legs as well
00:37:38To get swinging
00:37:38And she's doing
00:37:40Just that
00:37:41But Ella's making
00:37:41Good progress
00:37:43Looking really nice
00:37:45Up there
00:37:47Fury
00:37:47With a bit of a
00:37:48Misjudgment
00:37:48That she started
00:37:49To swing
00:37:50You could see
00:37:51The panic in her eyes
00:37:52And it's still there
00:37:53She's out of control
00:37:54Here
00:37:54That gives Ella
00:37:55A really good opportunity
00:37:56Can she make that ring
00:37:58Can she make that ring
00:37:59And keep going
00:37:59And make the platform
00:38:01Fury nowhere nearer
00:38:02Oh
00:38:03Ella could have
00:38:04Dropped
00:38:04I'm sure
00:38:05But she didn't want
00:38:06To take that gamble
00:38:07And now Fury
00:38:08Is back in defensive
00:38:09Position
00:38:10Might be time for
00:38:12Ella to have a rethink
00:38:13She's got a bit of a wobble
00:38:14Going on there
00:38:15Just stay in that red zone
00:38:16Ella
00:38:17Never mind the ten points
00:38:18Take the five
00:38:19For hanging tough
00:38:20Five seconds to go
00:38:22Fury's not going to get nearer now
00:38:24Ella's done half the job
00:38:27But it is a very good job
00:38:29Well done
00:38:32Look at how close
00:38:34Ella was
00:38:34To taking maximum points
00:38:36The full win
00:38:37Was literally
00:38:38At her fingertips
00:38:41Fury
00:38:42What happened there
00:38:43That was a disaster
00:38:44On my end
00:38:45It's a shame
00:38:46Because we're both rugby players
00:38:47I feel like we could have had
00:38:48A good battle
00:38:49And if we made contact
00:38:50It would have been
00:38:51A big contact
00:38:52Which is one of them things
00:38:53Isn't it
00:38:53Well look
00:38:54You're in the red zone
00:38:55That's five points
00:38:59Next to take on the rings
00:39:01It's Kira
00:39:03And she is hoping
00:39:05To avoid
00:39:06Dynamite
00:39:15Our youngest gladiator
00:39:17Has never been beaten
00:39:18On hanged up
00:39:19Kira needs to brace herself
00:39:20For dynamite
00:39:21It's boom or bust
00:39:26Contender
00:39:27Ready
00:39:32Gladiator
00:39:33Ready
00:39:36Three
00:39:37Two
00:39:39One
00:39:41So how do you end
00:39:43An undefeated record
00:39:44Held by a gladiator
00:39:46That's the task
00:39:47In front of Kira
00:39:49Dynamite sets off
00:39:50With a plan
00:39:51Firmly in place
00:39:52In her mind already
00:39:54The first timer
00:39:55On hanged up
00:39:56Kira
00:39:56It's a whole lot
00:39:57More difficult
00:39:59She's doing well
00:40:00Enough so far
00:40:01Always mindful
00:40:02That dynamite
00:40:03Is getting closer
00:40:05And listen to the crowd
00:40:07They can sense it as well
00:40:09They know what's coming
00:40:11Kira managing somehow
00:40:13To stay just out of reach
00:40:15There's enough time left
00:40:17But I'm getting an increasing feeling
00:40:19This is getting a bit desperate
00:40:20For dynamite
00:40:21She just cannot
00:40:23Get herself latched off
00:40:25And gets a warning
00:40:27From the referee
00:40:28You can't kick
00:40:30You've just got to try
00:40:31And lock on
00:40:31And bring the contender down
00:40:33And that's surely
00:40:34What's about to happen here
00:40:35Dynamite has slipped
00:40:37No
00:40:37Dynamite has gone
00:40:39And Kira holds on
00:40:41For five huge points
00:40:44A gladiator gracious in defeat
00:40:46A contender
00:40:47Who can't believe it
00:40:50Well dynamite
00:40:51Just simply slipped away
00:40:53Her only prize
00:40:54A pair of shoes
00:40:57I could feel
00:40:58Starting to slip
00:40:59And I thought
00:40:59Just give a wiggle
00:41:01And hopefully she'll
00:41:02Give a wiggle
00:41:02That's a good tactic
00:41:03You slipped off
00:41:05You hung on red zone
00:41:07Five points
00:41:09Kira
00:41:13Both contenders
00:41:14Hunt off to claim
00:41:15Five points
00:41:16Which means
00:41:16They're still level pegging
00:41:18It's 17 all
00:41:20For this next bit
00:41:21You need power
00:41:22Speed and agility
00:41:24Really?
00:41:25It's just reading
00:41:25Auto-Q
00:41:26It ain't that hard
00:41:27No
00:41:27I meant the next event
00:41:28This is Powerball
00:41:30Good agility
00:41:30Proud of some
00:41:36Playing Powerball
00:41:37For the male contenders
00:41:39It's Sean
00:41:40And Hindley
00:41:44And they will be taking on
00:41:46Bionic
00:41:47Steel
00:41:48And Apollo
00:41:51Here they come
00:41:53All together
00:41:58We've already seen
00:41:59Bionic and Steel
00:42:00Tonight
00:42:00But look at these
00:42:02Stats for our
00:42:02Greek god
00:42:03He's a good boy
00:42:04A really good boy
00:42:09Contenders
00:42:10Ready
00:42:15Gladiators
00:42:16Ready
00:42:22Three
00:42:23Two
00:42:24One
00:42:26Oh I do enjoy
00:42:27Powerball
00:42:28It's always mayhem
00:42:29It's always manic
00:42:30From the start
00:42:31There goes Hindley
00:42:33Running round the edge
00:42:33He does know
00:42:34He's got to pick up balls
00:42:35And put them in the pots
00:42:36Doesn't he
00:42:36He's not got far
00:42:37With that one
00:42:38Mind you
00:42:39Sean grabs a red ball
00:42:40And goes for the throw
00:42:41That's a great tackle
00:42:43Stopped in his tracks
00:42:45By Steel
00:42:46Hindley gives Apollo
00:42:47The slip
00:42:48But he still hasn't
00:42:48Got any points
00:42:49On the board
00:42:50And the same goes
00:42:50For Sean
00:42:51Great defensive work
00:42:53By the Gladiators
00:42:54It's all getting
00:42:55A little bit anxious
00:42:56Now for the contenders
00:42:57Sean with another
00:42:59Throw that misses
00:43:00Bionic never misses
00:43:02Are either of them
00:43:04Going to get a ball
00:43:04In a pod
00:43:05At any point here
00:43:06Sean tries to
00:43:07Shimmy his way through
00:43:09And you can see
00:43:09His disappointment
00:43:10Has been foiled again
00:43:12Hindley stopped
00:43:13Once more
00:43:14Sean
00:43:15Arms moving
00:43:16Oh he's got one
00:43:17Two points for Sean
00:43:18Well played
00:43:20Persistence plays off for him
00:43:22I think Hindley's had it
00:43:23One last run
00:43:25But he's had a dime
00:43:26And the game's up
00:43:291990s contender
00:43:30Murray
00:43:30Sees son Sean
00:43:31Take a 2-0 win
00:43:34A lesson to us all here
00:43:36If at first you don't succeed
00:43:38Try
00:43:38Try again
00:43:39And then try again
00:43:41And again
00:43:43And again
00:43:46You like a bit of contact
00:43:47I thought this would have been a bit of you
00:43:48But the Gladiators are tricky aren't they
00:43:50Exactly
00:43:50I feel like the two of them
00:43:51Were definitely both marking me
00:43:52Yeah
00:43:52And they're on me all the time
00:43:54But yeah
00:43:54One of those things
00:43:55Yeah
00:43:55How did you feel coming into this event
00:43:57I knew it was going to be tough
00:43:59I tried my best
00:44:00And that's all I can do
00:44:01Sean you got one ball in
00:44:02Which means two points for you
00:44:04Unfortunately
00:44:05No points for you Hindley
00:44:06But congratulations to both Sean and Hindley
00:44:11Oh
00:44:12That's
00:44:13Two more Jeff world
00:44:14Two more Jeff world
00:44:14One
00:44:15Two
00:44:15One
00:44:16One
00:44:16One
00:44:17One
00:44:17One
00:44:18One
00:44:18One
00:44:19One
00:44:21One
00:44:21One
00:44:27Oh sorry
00:44:28I thought we were all doing it
00:44:29With that score
00:44:30Sean has narrowed the gap
00:44:32After four events
00:44:33He's on 13 points
00:44:34Hindley 14
00:44:35Playing Powerball
00:44:37It's our female contenders
00:44:40Ella
00:44:42And Kira
00:44:45But
00:44:46Standing in their way are
00:44:48Diamond
00:44:49Fire
00:44:50And Dynamite
00:44:56Strength
00:44:57Speed
00:44:58And of course
00:44:59Power
00:44:59The trio you don't want to see
00:45:02Before playing Powerball
00:45:05Oh
00:45:07Contenders
00:45:08Ready
00:45:12Gladiators
00:45:14Ready
00:45:19Three
00:45:21Two
00:45:22One
00:45:24Ella grabs the red ball
00:45:25And goes
00:45:26Kira does the same with the blue
00:45:27And scores with her first attempt
00:45:29That's a brilliant start for her
00:45:32Ella
00:45:32Oh superb dodging
00:45:34She got past fire so easily
00:45:36And scored
00:45:36As Diamond gets to grips with Kira
00:45:39Now Ella starting for the middle pod
00:45:42And she's got it
00:45:42Three points for Ella
00:45:44That's Magnificent
00:45:46Ella tries to go again
00:45:47But he's shackled by Diamond
00:45:49The order comes to release
00:45:51And the contenders
00:45:52Go back for another ball each
00:45:54Kira tries to get through
00:45:56Ella does get through
00:45:57And scores
00:45:58But there is a problem
00:46:00On the other side
00:46:01Diamond is hurt
00:46:09Well the medical team
00:46:11Are coming to the gladiators aid now
00:46:13And there's real concern
00:46:15Right around the arena
00:46:19Diamond getting help back to her feet
00:46:21And getting great support from everyone
00:46:27It's good to see her managing a smile
00:46:32Well that was looking like a perfect game of Powerball
00:46:35But as we know
00:46:36Anything can happen
00:46:37And whilst Diamond is getting treatment
00:46:39We'll head back to hear from Mark Clattenburg
00:46:42Yeah unfortunately due to Diamond's injury
00:46:45The game has ended
00:46:47And as we look at the scores
00:46:49Ella has seven points
00:46:50And Kira has two points
00:46:57Girls
00:46:57Girls
00:46:58Uh
00:46:59Our girl Diamond
00:47:00She's gonna be okay
00:47:01She's so so strong
00:47:02And we're with her
00:47:03Every step of the way as well
00:47:05Well said
00:47:06Thank you very much
00:47:07Fire
00:47:07And Dynamite everybody
00:47:11Wishing Diamond a very speedy recovery
00:47:14So with one event left to go
00:47:16Before the Eliminator
00:47:17Ella's on 24
00:47:18Kira 19
00:47:20Next up
00:47:21It's the wall
00:47:22Yes
00:47:23And as we all know
00:47:25When it comes to the wall
00:47:26Legend
00:47:27Is the absolute best
00:47:29He is the goat
00:47:30Never forget
00:47:31Legend is more than just a gladiator
00:47:34He's a born leader
00:47:35He carries the entire team on his shoulders
00:47:38And what muscular shoulders they are
00:47:41Hey?
00:47:42Who's written that?
00:47:44Just do your job
00:47:45Read the... just read it
00:47:49He's a clown
00:47:50It's
00:47:52The wall
00:47:56Climbing wall for the male contenders
00:47:58In red
00:47:59It is Sean
00:48:02And in blue
00:48:03It's Hindley
00:48:07And hunting them down are
00:48:10Nitro
00:48:11And Apollo
00:48:18Now here comes a dangerous duo
00:48:22Rapid
00:48:23And absolutely fearless
00:48:29Nitro talks for talk
00:48:30Apollo
00:48:31Well he's on another level
00:48:37Contenders
00:48:38Ready!
00:48:42Gladiators
00:48:43Ready!
00:48:48You will go on my first whistle
00:48:51Gladiators
00:48:51You will go on my second whistle
00:48:53Three
00:48:54Two
00:48:56One
00:48:57A quick sprint to the wall
00:48:59And now the climb begins
00:49:00And
00:49:01Hindley found his feet
00:49:02Very quickly
00:49:03He is charging up there
00:49:04Apollo
00:49:05Nearly got him with his first leap
00:49:07And now Nitro sets off
00:49:09He gave Sean a head start
00:49:10But it hasn't lasted long
00:49:12Hindley meanwhile is nearly at the top
00:49:14Apollo struggling a bit to catch him
00:49:17Nitro's got a hold of Sean
00:49:18But only Sean's shoe
00:49:20And both contenders climb over the top
00:49:27Great climbing from both
00:49:29Apollo had one last desperate grab
00:49:32But didn't make any contact with Hindley
00:49:35Nitro thought he had Sean
00:49:36But was left looking sheepish
00:49:39It was a very close race
00:49:41But I gotta say
00:49:42Hindley you made it up just before
00:49:44So it's ten points to you
00:49:45And Sean is five points to you
00:49:47That is Hindley and Sean
00:49:51Nitro
00:49:52I saw you grab the suck
00:49:53He's been working hard today
00:49:55Look at these
00:49:55Yeah
00:49:56Oh
00:49:56I know
00:50:00Look at me
00:50:02Woah
00:50:03Oh no
00:50:11I think we should just leave them to
00:50:13Whatever this is
00:50:15And take a look at the final score
00:50:17What a battle these two have had all evening
00:50:20And they headed to the eliminator
00:50:22With Hindley on 24
00:50:23Sean on 18
00:50:26On the wall for the female contenders
00:50:28In red it's Ella
00:50:33Climbing away from Sabre
00:50:38And in blue it's Kira
00:50:41Hoping to get away from Comet
00:50:48Comet
00:50:48Comet loves arm day
00:50:50And it's that sort of training that leaves her opponents
00:50:52Starry-eyed
00:50:54And it's that sort of thing
00:50:54And it's that sort of thing
00:50:57Contenders
00:50:59Ready
00:51:03Gladiators
00:51:05Ready
00:51:12Gladiators
00:51:13Ready
00:51:153

00:52:032
00:52:033
00:52:032
00:52:173
00:52:183
00:52:193
00:52:212
00:52:343
00:52:383
00:52:393
00:52:405
00:52:415
00:52:443
00:52:454
00:52:465
00:52:475
00:52:475
00:52:475
00:52:475
00:52:485
00:52:505
00:52:515
00:52:515
00:52:516
00:52:519
00:52:5110
00:52:5110
00:52:5211
00:52:5411
00:52:5411
00:52:5611
00:53:0012
00:53:18We have plenty of
00:53:18To make up
00:53:19Especially with Ela
00:53:20Alright
00:53:21At the top of the rope climb
00:53:22And onto the overhead ladders
00:53:25And she may be even further in the lead soon
00:53:27Because Kira's having a real struggle with the rope
00:53:30She's got there now
00:53:31But look at the catching up she has to do
00:53:34Ella swings across towards the cargo net
00:53:37And steadies herself before a really solid jump
00:53:40And then the climb can begin
00:53:42Where's Kira?
00:53:44She's been having awful problems unclipping the trapeze
00:53:47She's only just done it and swings across now, but she's going to have to climb with everything that she's
00:53:53got.
00:53:54Ella is already just about at the top.
00:53:57This has been a tremendous run so far for the Army Doctor.
00:54:02Just showing a few signs now of tiring as she travels down the zip wire and a heavy landing.
00:54:10She still has a really healthy lead, though, as she gets set to tackle the all-new, much more difficult
00:54:16balance beam.
00:54:17Oh, nearly went.
00:54:19Has to make sure she touches the red sections there in the middle, then one at the end.
00:54:24It's where it can all fall apart, but it hasn't done for Ella.
00:54:28Kira is now hot on her tail, which means that Ella absolutely must get up that travelator first time.
00:54:35Here she goes. Legs pumping. She's going to do it.
00:54:39She's managed it with ease, and it is a win for Ella, Ella, Ella.
00:54:46Now all eyes back on Kira as she tries to complete the eliminator as quickly as she can.
00:54:51Oh, nearly went off the side, but her eyes are now focused on the top, and she will swing through
00:54:57to finish.
00:55:00What about that?
00:55:03What about that indeed? A faultless eliminator run from Ella, and we'll see her again in the quarterfinals.
00:55:14Kira, you said inside the beauty there's a beast, and you certainly proved that tonight.
00:55:19Yeah, I just gave everything I had, really.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:23And, yeah, I loved every minute of it, so it's been an amazing day.
00:55:26Well, you have been an exceptional contender.
00:55:29That's Kira, everyone!
00:55:33Ella, I've got to tell you, you're in the quarterfinals!
00:55:41Congratulations. All your family and friends are here, of course.
00:55:43Anyone you want to mention, obviously?
00:55:44Yeah, my girlfriend was on deployment, so she couldn't make it today,
00:55:48but she will be able to make it to the next round, so I did it for her.
00:55:50Yeah, good for you. All right.
00:55:52That's it, you're through to the quarterfinals.
00:55:54Our thanks to Ella and Kira!
00:55:59Come and see your families.
00:56:04So we have our female quarterfinalist.
00:56:06Now it's time to find out who'll go through from our male contenders.
00:56:10Hindley is six points ahead of Sean, which converts to a three-second head start.
00:56:14Here's Mark Klatenberg.
00:56:18Contenders, ready!
00:56:20Ready!
00:56:21Hindley, you've got my first whistle.
00:56:24Sean, you've got my second whistle.
00:56:27Three, two, one!
00:56:30Three seconds isn't much at all,
00:56:33and that's probably why Hindley has hurled himself over the first optical in his way.
00:56:38Sean will soon be right up there with him.
00:56:41It's a good climb, that, from Hindley.
00:56:43Oh, a little bit stuck at the top.
00:56:44Look at the gap now. It's not three seconds anymore.
00:56:47Hindley's got to fly!
00:56:49And he misses the last rung of the overhead ladder.
00:56:52That's got Sean even closer.
00:56:54A few problems on clipping for Hindley as well.
00:56:57He can't afford any more mistakes now.
00:57:00Oh, big mistake from Sean!
00:57:01He left for the net, and the way that he was swaying after Hindley got on it,
00:57:06it made it more difficult, and he nearly missed it altogether.
00:57:09It's a good climb now, though, and it really is close, this.
00:57:13It's an eliminator that could be decided by the thickness of the paper finish.
00:57:19Hindley's up first, and races across to the zip wire.
00:57:22He's breathing heavily, but he looks really determined, still, and full of confidence.
00:57:27And that was smooth.
00:57:29Sean has a bit of momentum.
00:57:31He bounces off the mat.
00:57:32He's not far behind.
00:57:34Hindley being very, very careful.
00:57:36First part of the balance beam ticked off.
00:57:39Sean has slipped.
00:57:40Sean's going to have to start again.
00:57:42That could make all the difference here.
00:57:44Hindley has a free run first time at the Travelator.
00:57:47Oh, but he's all over the place.
00:57:49It's absolutely all over.
00:57:51Arms and legs were not in sync, and down he goes.
00:57:54And here comes Sean, for the first time in the eliminator.
00:57:58He takes the lead, and he takes on the Travelator.
00:58:02But all of the power is gone.
00:58:05The Seanado extinguished.
00:58:08Now it's head-to-head.
00:58:10The baker against the aeroplane maker.
00:58:12Who will rise?
00:58:13Who will fly?
00:58:14It's Hindley!
00:58:16What a race that was!
00:58:21Unbelievable!
00:58:23Absolutely amazing!
00:58:26Hindley claws his way through in a nail-biting eliminator.
00:58:30Phew!
00:58:31I need a cup of tea after that.
00:58:33And maybe one of his cakes.
00:58:37That was so tight.
00:58:39Absolutely.
00:58:40You are exhausted, correct?
00:58:42It's very overwhelming.
00:58:43I mean, I'm absolutely gutted, to be honest, but I hope I make the fastest winner up.
00:58:49And I'll smash whatever's next.
00:58:51Absolutely.
00:58:52Give it up, everyone, for Sean!
00:58:55Hindley, you are through to the quarterfinal of Gladiators!
00:59:03I feel so good.
00:59:05Yeah?
00:59:05Absolutely ecstatic.
00:59:06Have you got any words for your mum over there?
00:59:09I just want to say thank you very much for travelling down.
00:59:12And another round to go.
00:59:14Another round to go, says Hindley is our quarterfinalist!
00:59:17Round of applause for Hindley and Sean!
00:59:20Go and see your families, fellas.
00:59:29What a night!
00:59:30An incredible performance!
00:59:32Hey, it's such a joy to watch someone at the very peak of their talent.
00:59:35Thanks, Barnes, but we really should focus on the contenders, mate.
00:59:38I know.
00:59:39Yeah, I'll remember that in the future.
00:59:40See you next time on Gladiators!
00:59:45Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
00:59:50Do you have the will and the skill?
00:59:55Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
01:00:01It's not for beginners.
01:00:04Get down in your soul.
01:00:07Are you a Gladiator?
01:00:12Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
01:00:13Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
01:00:14Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
01:00:14Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
