Gladiators: The Ashes 1

For other meanings of "The Ashes", see The Ashes (disambiguation).

The Ashes 1 was the first Ashes series for the UK Gladiators and the Australian Gladiators. The UK team travelled to Australia to battle it out on Aussie soil. It was seen as a great move as it was a chance to see how another country handled the show.
