Relly cool site. Loved it. Brought back all the memories. submitted by Bubba Bobobbins on Sun, 1 Aug 99, go to Bubba Bobobbins 's homepage Heh - I watched Knightmare ever since it's first show, and as soon as I was old enough to play the game myself, I applied. submitted by Deej, S.E. UK on Sun, 1 Aug 99, go to Deej, S.E. UK's homepage I am so pleased that i decided to do a
search for my favourite ever show there has ever been. I watched every single series as i was growing up, and i have a
great majority of episodes on tape (sadly not all in the same place) This site is
a brilliant dedication to the series i loved for so long. It was a crime when they took it off, and replaced it with that virtual reality show that lasted less submitted by Danny Reeves - Portsmouth, UK on Wed, 4 Aug 99, go to Danny Reeves - Portsmouth, UK's homepage I just read all of the stuff about series 1 to 4! quite a big change from series 3 to 4, I remember those 2 series so well but never realised they were 1989 and 1990! I was only 7 and 8 then, and it just doesn't seem like that long ago! I thought the dice room was more recent than that! I remember one team said "roll the die" and i was like, what do they mean "die?!" and my older brother had to explain! hahaha. And the boat ride - i thought that was from like series 7 or 8! I can't wait to read about series 5-8 as i seem to have more recollection of 3 and 4 than the later ones! The Block and Tackle room was great, that bloke who said "side-step to the left" - what a fool, I bet he felt so embarrassed when it was on TV, and the other 3 must have wanted to strangle him! submitted by Billy on Sun, 8 Aug 99 Wow, I never knew there was a website on Knightmare. It was such a cool program. I'm 16 years old. What I remember is the way the Dungeon master froze the people at the end of the programme, and the eye-shield sequences in forests where doors were black rectangles. submitted by ACWaller1000@hotmail.com on Mon, 9 Aug 99 Hi, Anyone wanting copies of Knightmare email me and I see what I can do for you. I have episodes Series 1 2-4 and Series 2 2-5. An episode from the last series. The episode featuring Sophia and the very last episode from season 7. I remember when a brick wall used to block a path to the next level and a talking tree. submitted by Droitwich on Sun, 22 Aug 99 Sarah: Knightmare was a great show! Although I was only little at the time it was on, I can still remember it and I wish it was still on at this time! Mark: Had a ninth series been made in '95, I could have made a team that was old enough to apply for the show. submitted by Mark & Sarah Hemingway, Carlisle on Fri, 27 Aug 99 Hi. My name is Paul Boland and I was leader of the first Irish team to apply for Knightmare and to be successful in an application. My team consisted of my sister, Julie, and my two friends, Minhquen and Jerry. We left Waterford, in the south of Ireland, and travelled by ship, trains and bus all the way to Anglia House in Norwich. There we took part in our audition. A Knightmare type problem was described to my team and we had to say how we would deal with the problem. The audition took all of twenty minutes, then it was the 24hour journey back home. Months went by and we awaited word that we had passed the audition, every day watching the postman come and go, but nothing came. At the end of Summer, my dad rang the Knightmare studios to find out what had happened; it turned out that we had passed the audition and were picked to appear on the show but we never received the phone call due to my mother getting ill. However, all was not lost. To make up for the disappointment, we were given VIP status and invited to go to the Knightmare Studios next year as VIP's to see the show been made. The next year, we went. When we got to the Knightmare Studios, it was lunch time so we joined the cast, teams and crew for lunch. As we entered the cafeteria, there, standing in line with a robe on to protect his clothes, was Hugo "Treguard" Myatt himself. I was never so excited in all my life. After lunch, we were given a guided tour of the studios. We saw all the costumes, the make up department, all the computer hardware, all the props, including Smirkenorff and Lord Fears pool of essence. We saw the blue room where the Dungeoneer walks around and anti-chamber where Treguard and co reside. After the tour, we took a seat and watched as a team were filmed working their way through the dungeon depths of level 3. And luck was smiling on us that day, as the team won! It was the first all girl team to win. I got photos taken with cast and on the sets, I got autographs and I got a special gift pack from everyone at Knightmare. And to top it all off, the following year, I was invited back again as a VIP and I had the time of my life. Unfortunately, that year also marked the end of Knightmare. I miss the show terribly. While I have become a huge fan of Star Trek, I still hold Knightmare in a special place in my heart. I have the photos, the autographs, the gifts and the memories. I would love to see Knightmare make a return. It was, without a doubt, the best television show ever created. submitted by Paul Boland, Waterford, Ireland on Wed, 1 Sep 99 Until I found this site I could only remember that I used to love Knightmare, but not much about it. Now I keep remembering more and more; I distinctly remember seeing the change from drawn/painted backgrounds to real ones and thinking how much better it was before, but I hadn't realised just how long ago it was! I love all the information here, but the more I read, the more I want to see the programme again! submitted by Jodi Bailey, Isle of Wight on Mon, 6 Sep 99 Brilliant, this show moulded my childhood, Bring it back and bring it back now. All those young layabouts need a great sword and sorcery show to stretch their imaginations submitted by Rob Mercel Dunstable on Sun, 3 Oct 99 Congratulations on a brilliant site Nicholas, it's good to see that Knightmare still lives on in the hearts of every true fan. Did anybody else think that the auditions were harder than the actual show? I auditioned twice but was never successful, yet every year while watching it it was blindingly obvious to me what objects to take and where to go but the teams seemed to be so thick. I could have won every year from my bloody armchair, but I suppose there's more pressure onwhen you're in the studio. P.S. I agree with Phil Colvin, Aesandre was also my favourite character (Lord Fear a close second) and I thought it was a shame they didn't make more use ofher during the series, I think she only appeared twice. She should have stayed for series 6 and 7, there were no more truly evil sorceresses after that. I think Knightmare - The Movie should have been the natural progression for the series and would have been really successful if done properly. You should put apetition on your site for this and maybe Tim Child will see it and take the hint submitted by Liz, North Yorkshire/West London on Thu, 7 Oct 99 When I first started watching Knightmare, all those years back, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. It was engrossing, it didn't treat children like idiots (as most kids gameshows did, and still do) and Treguard...his name escapes me....was excellent. I can still remember my heart beating faster as the intrepid dungeonneer entered a new room. Admittedly I preferred the first few seasons, I was never fond of it when they introduced the EYE SHIELD as a regular thing, but still I was a fan.....so what can you do? If only they could bring it back, it surely deserves the time slot more than anything else CITV sling out...Finders Keepers, anyone? Jesus, it makes me cringe that we have to put up with drivel like that. BRING BACK TREGUARD, THE DUNGEONEERS AND KNIGHTMARE!!!! submitted by Allan Kidd, Edinburgh, Scotland on Fri, 8 Oct 99 I grew up watching Knightmare, and just have never managed to get it out of my head. The theme tune, the excellent concept were something else. I'm 17 now, and living in Australia currently for a few more years (am and always will be British and damn well proud of it though. :), but I really hope the rumours of it returning some time are true. It was a key part of my childhood and part of many good memories. Great work on the site! submitted by Stuart in Australia on Sat, 9 Oct 99, go to Stuart in Australia's homepage I couldn't believe it when I found this Web-site! The great pictures you have really bring back memories of the show when I used to watch it. I mostly remember being excited and afraid when the life line of the dungeoneers began to turn into a scull along with the beating sound effects. Seeing the pictures again makes me smile as I remember the times on the settee with my little brother!!! submitted by Lisa, Nottingham. on Thu, 21 Oct 99 Totally amazing website for the
greatest children's TV show ever. This site is so thorough it's untrue. I am soooooo impressed. I actual can't remember ever seeing
a more informative website. But heck, I can still quote half
the things Treguard used to say, and Folly's insults "...when your father saw
your face, he left at once for the crusades", and the progress reports at the
start of some of the shows "through the threat of spearpoint bright, came Simon,
who's from Heckmondwyke..." etc. submitted by (Mr) Keli Richards, the Netherlands on Thu, 21 Oct 99 I have been a fan of Knightmare since the first series. I have bought all of the books and even the Amiga game. I am having serious trouble playing the game - as i can't get of the first level !! Any Cheats greatfully accepted !! This website is really excellent and helps to keep Knightmare alive !! submitted by Susan Hubble, Sheffield UK on Fri, 22 Oct 99 I watched Knightmare first when i was just 7. ITV should never have scrapped it. submitted by Michael Woodiwiss Southampton on Sat, 23 Oct 99, go to Michael Woodiwiss Southampton's homepage It was just last night I was talking to various other people on the internet about this great show. Between the eight of us we could only remember the one team actually winning it. Well done on a accurate site which has brought the memories flooding back of many a Friday afternoon in front of the TV! submitted by Phil, U.K on Sun, 24 Oct 99, go to Phil, U.K's homepage Just to say that Knightmare ruled. It was the greatest show in ITV and they should never have got rid of it. I wanted to be on it but I was to young. submitted by Jacen Mikolecy UK on Sun, 24 Oct 99 I MUST SAY THIS: KNIGHTMARE WAS, IS AND WILL BE GREAT IF IT CONTINUES... submitted by ROBIN JOHN BARLOW, WALLASEY on Tue, 26 Oct 99 I remember cold autumn nights watching Knightmare whilst at primary school and they were simply brilliant.Knightmare is my all time favourite kids show, better than grange hill and byker grove by a long way submitted by Ben Ricketts on Sat, 30 Oct 99 I remember watching Knightmare on CITV. It was my all time favourite show. It brings back so many memories. Brilliant internet page. Keep it up! submitted by Gareth Lankshear, Mountain Ash on Sun, 31 Oct 99 Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou!! I thought I had seen the last of Knightmare, I have only just started using the web and I am delighted to find a page on my favourite TV show. It's really good. submitted by Sidriss in England on Sun, 31 Oct 99 Knightmare is the best TV show there ever was and there ever will be. Treguard is God! submitted by Apocalypse Nam on Mon, 1 Nov 99, go to Apocalypse Nam's homepage Hello there! Just wanted to say I think this a superb web site - keep up the great work. I had watched Knightmare since the first series and the show remains as my favourite ever! Im 23 now (!) but I still miss Treguard, the music and the dungeon. I especially want to know more about the French and Spanish Knightmares - would you be able to get pictures and other details? submitted by Harjinder (London) on Thu, 4 Nov 99 I haven't seen much of it, since I live
in cali, but, hey, I was pretty impressed by what I saw on the sci-fi channel... submitted by Kelly, California on Sat, 6 Nov 99 I remember when the hobgoblin appeared in series 3 (one of the later episodes), my brother and I were totally freaked for the rest of the evening. I also remember taping the later episodes of that series (none left now) and rubbing the end of the series off because back then it was soooo scary!!!!! submitted by Andrew Buckley, Keighley on Sat, 13 Nov 99 I'd forgotten all about this, thanks it brings back loads submitted by Anna Newcastle on Mon, 15 Nov 99 Absouloutly Fab website, very well
desinged and good use of the HTML website, also v.quick to load. submitted by Sam Harvey (Madape) Leicester UK on Tue, 16 Nov 99, go to Sam Harvey (Madape) Leicester UK's homepage Come on! We have to launch a campaign to bring back knightmare! Being 16, I was practically brought up on the show - I watched it all the time. Such a wonderful idea so well executed, surely we can't leave it dead? anyone got any thoughts on this? submitted by Craig Laycock, Lancashire on Wed, 17 Nov 99 I am at university now, but I can still
remember rushing home after school to see how the dungeoneers were progressing. We were not successful, but
at least I can say we tried. submitted by Steven Lee, London on Thu, 18 Nov 99 |
