The advantage of this is that it has enough scope to draw upon many different projects of interest, for both Knightmare fans specifically and for broader fans of fantasy and TV. It also means we can use a number of core community contributors but without getting too bogged down into personalities.
We could go back to the origins (Atik Atac, etc) and plot a timeline of how the show fitted into a technological shift that has moved away from TV.
The interesting part comes afterwards. Knightmare ends - to much confusion and anguish. Its fan base grows. Inspired by a sense of injustice, they come together to launch a number of Bring Back Knightmare campaigns and commemorative projects, including an RPG. By the turn of the century, TC’s VR project gathers momentum and funding. KMVR is piloted, along with TimeGate (I still believe a large number of fans are unaware of these two projects, and would benefit from understanding them as part of a documentary rather than in isolation, where they tend to get poorer response.)
The RPG efforts become more ambitious, but ultimately fade into the distance, as does the memory of KMVR. We launch Knightmare.com anew, in hope rather than expectation.
But it seemed that all hope was gone.
AND THEN:

Geek Week.

Knightmare Live.
Knightmare Convention.
We’ve even got a clip of David Rowe saying ‘watch this space’!)
There’s all sorts of stuff we can go into for the latest revival. We can also mention the Crystal Maze Experience as another successful TV revival and Bewilder Box as an example of fantasy interactive gaming.
I don’t think there are too many downsides to this chronological structure. It gives us the opportunity to avoid making it too Knightmare-specific or too single-person orientated. I think it has the sort of ambition to blast the 25th anniversary out of the water, and it’s thoughtful enough that we could probably get some old faces willing to say something that’s not just answering the question ‘what was it like?’ or ‘when’s it coming back?’.
Is there something here that will work?

I found it watchable.  Aside from a couple of demonstrations of how someone was strangled it was mostly people saying "we're gangsters, we killed people".  No gore and no violence.
It was nowhere near what I was expectin- I had my mouse hovering on the pause button - and is again a very different style the other documentaries.  I recommend watching it if you can.
