Exciting news! This popular Australian reality show is making a big comeback in 2024!

Ah, the ‘90s… It was a good time for TV fans with great shows aplenty!

And now, one popular TV show is set to return on Channel 10 next year!


The return of Gladiators, an Australian reality television program that premiered on Channel 7 in 1995 and was briefly revived in 2008, is sure to have fans everywhere rejoicing!

The show was originally hosted by actors Kimberley Joseph and Aaron Pedersen, the latter of whom was replaced by radio host Mike Hammond following the first series.

This time, the show’s hosting gig will be filled by an iconic duo—retired NRL player Beau Ryan and netball great Liz Ellis.


The format of the show involved resident competitors—called the ‘Gladiators’—pitted against one-off Contenders who battled it out in gruelling events in front of an arena audience. The revived series will follow a similar format, and will include newly-created events and fan favourites such as Hang Tough, The Wall, Power Ball, Pyramid, Duel, and The Eliminator.

Filming will start next month in Sydney and will be produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production.

Liz Ellis is 'super pumped' about the opportunity. She said: 'It’s an iconic franchise, and I’m excited about the reboot. It is set to showcase some of my favourite Gladiator challenges from the original series as well as throw up a few new ones for us to fall in love with.'

Meanwhile, Ryan Beau said he grew up watching Gladiators and feels honoured to co-host the reboot.

'I am beyond excited to be hosting Gladiators alongside the great Liz Ellis. Liz is a national treasure, and we are going to have a lot of fun. I grew up watching and loving Gladiators and can’t wait to get into it. It’s going to be spectacular,' Beau said.

In other news, is everyone ready to go back to Ramsay Street?

Neighbours, one of Australia's most iconic drama series, is set to air on Monday, September 18th, on both Amazon Freevee and Network 10.

Last year, the TV show, which had been on the air for an impressive 37 years had to cease production when its production company could not find a new network.
However, Amazon Freevee and Prime Video stepped in just a few months after the star-studded finale aired and saved the show.

They started production in Melbourne earlier this year and it looks as if fans will be in for a real treat when the series airs in a few days.

Beat the Purple Scum. Go you Roosters! As long as James Fraudesco learns to not run across the field. Victor Spudley will probably get sinbinned again - just as long as he takes out Cameron Cunster.

I watch every free to air NRL game there is.

You are correct. They have had a less than squeaky clean history over the years. Drug cheats, salary cap breaches (losing two premiereships in the process) and less than savoury players.
Haven't all teams and worst, you just have to look at the bulldogs and the list go on. Actually bulldogs were bigger salary cap breaches and actually loss all their points in I remember
 
Good on him to greet the kids and I love the dressed up Toyota Camry (?).
Freddy never turned away kids . Neither did Minnie, and still doesn't.

Look what my daughter came home with after the Roosters won their last grand final. A player gave it to her. She sold it 6 months later fir $150.

18 September 1974

Licences Abolished By the 1970s, combined TV and radio licences could be purchased for $26.50. With ongoing pressure about the inequity of the costs across the community and the heavy cost of policing compliance, the federal Whitlam Government decided on 18 September 1974 to abolish radio and TV licences.

The federal Fraser Government tried to introduce TV licence fees in 1975, recommending fees of $70.00 for a colour TV set and $50.00 for a black-and-white set, but this suggestion was met with huge opposition.

WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD?
TV licences continue to exist today in the United Kingdom and selected European and Scandinavian countries. The cost of a colour TV licence in the United Kingdom in 2014 is 145 pounds and 49 pounds for a monochrome licence. The money raised provides the BBC with 75% of its funds.

You had no choice it was payup or else pay the fine.
