How did they manage that? Bringing back Gladiators was a real flop the last time they tried it, but the new BBC series does it absolutely perfectly, capturing the excitement and sheer coolness of the original that got us all worked up back in... 1992. Wow. That was a long, long time ago when you look at it like that.
But the new range of gladiators show some real character - Legend had some great one-liners, he's definitely my favourite. I feel like I'm sixteen again and need to get practicing with my pugil-stick!
And what's more, we should TOTALLY do this with memory sports! Young memorisers today are always calling me 'the legend' - get some of us old-timers dressed up in fancy costumes and cool noms-de-guerre and have us go up against contenders in memory-themed challenges! It could be the next generation of memory competitions!
Who's up for it? What's your Memory Gladiator name?
