    Does anyone remember that time on the rings when Wolf jumped at some contender and grabbed him round the waist, he ended up pulling his shorts off and falling to the ground? I can't remember the names of any of the events, but I remember one where they were inside giant rolling balls and had to roll over certain areas for points; one where there was a track shaped like a figure of 8 on the ceiling and the gladiators would try to catch some rope that was hanging out of the contenders; the rings hanging from he ceiling, they got different points for different coloured rings; the one where they were on ropes and had to collect coloured balls to put into baskets; the one where they had to fight their way past three gladiators with obstacles; the one where they were on a platform facing a gladiator on another platform, and they had to fight each other with these big ridiculous two-ended bludgeoning objects; the eliminator, of course - what were the other ones?
    And was there a kids version of Gladiators where they had to climb up pyramids and collect fruit or something, or did I just imagine that?

    " Gladiators has been axed by ITV after six years because of falling ratings.

    The seventh series of the show, hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and Jeremy Guscott , attracted just 5.6m viewers.

    Launched in 1992 with Jonsson and soccer star John Fashanu at the helm, it attracted 11 million viewers at its peak.

    Based on an American format, the London Weekend Television show invited members of the public to test their strength against the programme's resident Gladiators.

    But the programme won't vanish from the channel forever. Controllers are in talks with LWT about developing occasional special Gladiators shows.

    Director of programmes David Liddiment said: "Every show of this kind has a lifespan, and it's now time for ITV to move on." "

    Haha, what a news story
