Am I the only one who didn't have a problem with Bradley or Barney at all? I thought they both did a great job.

I just think they didn’t need to use Bradley for this

I think that when they call on Bradley it’s often to hold up a format that might otherwise not quite perform, such as the Blankety Blank reboot. It probably would have done a bit worse with a different host.

Gladiators is a strong enough format that they didn’t need that added Bradley Walsh effect.

Now they’ve used him for this, and with Blank as well, they probably can’t realistically use him for anything else, that may need that boost, or else it might get a bit silly.
