Who has seen the gripping documentary Gladiators: Back from The Dead?

The documentary is very popular in the UK on Channel 4.
It shows the bloody savagery of gladiatorial battles of 6 Roman gladiators whose skeletons were found at a York archaeological dig.
Investigations that the men were gladiators, based on evidence which included the fact some had injuries which may have been inflicted fighting at an amphitheatre, one of the most telling being a bite mark from a large carnivore such as a tiger or bear.
The men were also all buried with some respect and their final resting places included grave goods as well as large joints of meat – making it less likely they were executed criminals.
