Dungeoneer Halloween costume 2001 or 2003

Experiences

Several contestants and applicants have written to us to tell us about their experiences of the show


The process of applying to be on Knightmare was a long one, requiring an initial application process, interviews, shortlisting, and finally coming to the studio to film. Filming could easily take several (three or four) days during which teams would have to wait long stretches of time (45+ minutes) between filming each room.
