There is also a Ministry of Sound club DJ who goes by the name of Mark Knight:

Right. I reckon this one here is the most obscure unintentional Knightmare reference in history. If it isn't, I don't know what is.

A while back, there was a special caption contest, which had the original Eyeshield prop as a prize. The winning caption was "Keith Richards was begining to show his age". A few days ago I was watching a Lordi DVD. Specificaly, the DVD that came with The Arockalypse Special Edition album. The one that features Lordi's live Market Square performance in Helsinki. Anyway, I was watching with the commentary on, and one of the band mentioned Bruce Kulick. (From KISS), and the possibility of involving him in ome of their songs. The camera then cut to a close up of Guitarist Amen, at which point one of the band (I cant tell their voices apart 'cause they're all speaking Finnish) immediately says "There's Bruce now. He's gotten old."

Hows that?

The gentleman in question was in fact Keith Richards. I referred to the caption here, and even went as far as to write a Lexicon entry, here. Every media mention of him reminds me of Knightmare.

I recently became aware of an unintended Knightmare reference within Knightmare, if such a thing is possible. I discovered that a brownie, the faerie creature that Sidriss was trying to invoke during her first appearance, is known in Gaelic as a 'gruagach'. Then again, perhaps it was an intended reference, but it fascinated me either way.

Damn. I'm thinking of The Who. I've fixed it now, anyway. Thanks for pointing out that dreadful faux pas.

Not to worry. At least you didn't put his surname as Flint; that would have been a prodigious error. ;)

MC Frontalot's song It Is Pitch Dark features the line "Adventure to Nightmare". Since it's a reference to the classic game Adventure, may he also be referring to a later fantasy game surreptitiously?

Oh? Which ones? Did it include the goblin horn? If so, can he send it to me? I never got a decent recording of it for the audio play.

(NOTE: I believe this is my 2,000th post at long last. Not an impressive hit-rate recently, given I was around 1,975 about a year ago...)

Maybe I shouldn't smoke so much crack, as I'm no longer sure if they are from Knightmare, but they did make me think of the show anyway.

on iplayer 1:06 into the Tuesday 21/10 show and 3:27 into the next morning's show if you feel the need.

There's a resemblance, but they don't sound like the same ones to me.

Actually one of the effects that reminded me of Knightmare is actually from a hateful money related game show and not Knightmare. The other one, the dongs and wind, was probably a generic effect but is very reminiscent of the life force clock running out death sound.

Car Park Knightmare might not be a bad idea though.

A bit of random searching on Youtube and I was quite impressed to unearth a track called FEAR by DJ Knightmare....
Whilst nothing to do with our own programme, I actually think the tune's pretty decent:
