The usual when Rosie Jones is on anything, she takes over, spends 2 minutes trying to make a joke which no-one can understand, then everyone laughs out of awkwardness a d dear of the harassment if they don't laugh. Painful and not something any normal person would find enjoyable.

Otherwise a good episode, barring the usual made up feminist rant from Sandi, Carried was funny and Alan was his usual goofy, likeable self. It still manages to be funny after all this time, my default feels good, easy watch comedy show. Bridget Christie has become a bit more coherent and less confused and lost, desperately seeking something funny to say.

The show works better than expected by sticking largely to the original format. Pity no wolf, he was a character! The pretend fights are a bit feeble and I do miss John Anderson's Scottish accent and authorititive manner, you'd not question him, though Mark Clattenberg isn't bad. Some gladiators lack the distinct image and personality of the originals and some don't get the gladiators are meant to be imperious and slightly scary, not friendly and chatty and often intimidated by the contestants.

But who does casting for the BBC? A show about youth and athleticism presented by two people making painful cheesy jokes? Must go down with Question of Sport and Doctor Who as the worst casting in living memory. Do they realise it's not just about picking someone who's popular? They have to fit the show. Someone who's good at quiz shows is totally the wrong image for a highly competitive, combatitive sports / fitness show?

Serious, he did his best to ruin this episode, kept talking over others and had nothing worth saying. Why do you keep getting him on? Only person worse than jo brand and rich hall.
