“Designing for live TV brings a different kind of pressure - everything needs to be safe, fast to build, and ready for whatever the production throws at it. For Gladiators, that meant making sure every platform, access route, and structure could handle the action.”

MJ Consulting Engineers provided the structural design for the BBC’s Gladiators set at Sheffield Arena – including the elevated catwalk and full set support structure.
From crowd safety to performer access, our engineers ensured every element stood strong under pressure (and under the spotlight).
With offices in London and Manchester, MJC has been quietly shaping the UK’s live entertainment scene since 1996 – from stadiums and theatres to headline TV productions.
The work, in plate order.
