Japanese Gladiator-style obstacle course gameshow? "Ninja" or something.

That's managed to supercede my love for bald men running round with teams of hapless yuppies trying to win "a bike trip to the midlands".

Imagine Prince of Persia in real life but with less saw/spiked pole death. There's a show floating around on teh internetz right now that shows the first person to ever win it.

The final round is a 30sec limit to climb 100ft up a free-hanging rope
