THANK GLAD IT'S SUNDAY

By Graham Young on May 18, 2008 8:58 AM |

ONE consequence of yesterday's awful weather was that I finally introduced Gladiators to my three youngsters.

I'd secretly kept a recording of its return last Sunday to Sky One ready to reward them with some good behaviour at the right time.

And, guess what... they absolutely loved its larger-than-life moments.

They enjoyed it in much the same way as I used to love It's a Knockout when I was a nipper (if only the verbally-challenged Ian Wright had Stuart Hall's eloquence, eh?).

Hopefully, by looking forward to it at 6pm on Sundays - what good scheduling! - they'll be determined to show me they deserve to see it on the night.

Any bad behaviour and they might have to wait for a few days.

Or I can always press 'delete'.

* Gladiators is back on Sky One tonight at 6pm.
