I'd like to think it applies to all things Knightmare and Tim Child's idea and production to make it a reality that continues to this day.
It's such a shame the series not only didn't survive beyond the early / mid 1990's and that a DVD collection release never seemed obtainable.   We've had spin offs and online parodies that while fun and offer a certain intrigue, just can't match the enthralment or experience of the original series.    Maybe it's down to age perspective as things just aren't the same as you remember them but for what's it worth I take the opportunity to offer and provide all things Knightmare a sincere anniversary mention.
Surely there's an event planned for next year to mark the 40 year turning.   Hugo Myatt and all surviving cast members hopefully get together and provide something like a fan access day.   It sounds plausible but not sure how far they'll actually get with it.

These are often from the original broadcast on CiTV. These span many years of Knightmare's history; some episodes also include the CiTV wraparound host sections in addition to the episode itself. From my viewing, it seems that episodes available to view include the first ever from Series 1 and one from each subsequent series. There are no successive episodes, however, meaning that some quests are only partially shown. One winner is shown - Julie, from Series 7.
We've all seen Knightmare episodes by now, but I was quite excited to see these presented in their original broadcast form! If you're ever near the Southbank I'd recommend availing yourself of free Knightmare!
Knightmare's entry on the BFI archive search is here. Information about the Mediatheque itself is here. I also wrote a Lexicon article about this!

It's wild that can be possible.
Thinking back to those times; seeing the community that still survives all this time later, and learning that all those special memories of care-free childhood, glued to the TV watching the latest Dungeoneer taking on the dungeon; and you realise all those memories aren't just your own. Many, many others up and down the country have the same memories.
Cheers to Knightmare; to Tim, Hugo and indeed every single person involved in the show, in front of and behind the camera.
I said to Hugo today when I met him at Fan X Live that Knightmare is one of a kind. There was nothing else like it at the time, and there's been nothing quite like it since, either.

As for being too young, yes I can see Knightmare being a bit much for a 2 and a half year old, although I was still 5 when I watched episode 1 (It aired a week before my 6th Birthday) and some it was scary, but I guess it was supposed to be!
So maybe wait another yaer of two before setting her on "The Path"

A comprehensive, tangible history would indeed be a fantastic thing to have.
Several excellent points have been made however, as to why this would seem unlikely.
Cost is one thing and time is another.
As much as we all adore Knightmare, sometimes a show has simply just "had it's time" despite how good or even groundbreaking and influential it was.
Sadly, Knightmare hasn't become a 'Mr. Men', 'Thunderbirds', 'Sooty' or 'Thomas The Tank Engine' which keep being repeated and even today have new episodes in regular production.
Even GamesMaster has been revived and rebooted a time or two.
While Knightmare has been repeated on a couple of channels over the years, and has plenty of clips on the ITV Children's Classics youtube channel, it has received next to no mainstream support.
There was a great amount of buzz surrounding the showing of two episodes as part of CITV'S 'Old Skool Weekend', the 'Geek Week' episode and of course the convention, but this was all a decade ago and very little has happened since.
Series 4 appearing on BritBox Was also wonderful, but that too seems to have been rather quickly forgotten about.
I say all that to say while Knightmare does indeed have many old fans, who I'm sure would want to buy the book and perhaps even support it's production without it being readily available (Officially at least) it might be more expensive than it's worth if Knightmare isn't creating/getting any new fans or isn't anything more than a faint, if pleasant memory.
Though I don't wish to appear negative, so it would be an amazing project, and with next year being the 30th anniversary of the final "Time Out" who knows what could happen.

Even though a few elements that I love about older Knightmare are lost by Series 6, I do think the series as a whole has become slick and interesting by this point. The episodes are faster-paced, the quests contain longer running "plots" that continue through numerous rooms, and the introduction of the atmospheric/tension music really helps to kill the "boring" feel of some of the earlier episodes. Some of those early episodes are so still and quiet, that when a dungeoneer is being slow it's painstaking. With the introduction of the sinister music it really helps to make the adventure feel more exciting.
I think for a modern 2023 person who'd never seen the show before, they'd really struggle getting through more than a couple of episodes of Series 1.
However, if you could make them fall in love with the "higher production value" of Series 6 then they'd be more likely to want to go back and see how it all began.

In general that's probably true, but I wouldn't say so with Lillith; the path still went through the Serpent's Mouth Cavern in season 3, but Lillith had gone.

Oh true she was a bad example haha. Maybe she was in the toilet.

The interviewer was Tim Pollard (who also contributed illustrations to White Dwarf); the issue is unknown but I'm guessing it was between 1987 and 1994 i.e. when Knightmare was originally on. I can't recall this interview being mentioned elsewhere.
There doesn't seem to be a complete online archive of White Dwarf magazine scans from the relevant period. If any of you have a collection of back issues, or just a memory of Tim's interview that might help in tracking it down, it would be great to know more about it.

I'm visiting Norwich next year in May, and i was wondering if there were any locations worth visiting for Knightmare-related events, like can you find the prop helmet anyone to see or general filming locations, or even merchandise if its possible.  It's a bit of a loose thought, but I rather make the most of it whilst I'm there if anyone has any suggestions.

Aside from the TV studio, the only filming location in Norwich itself is Dragon Hall (the interior of the Crazed Heifer pub and other scenes), which is open for guided tours on the third Monday of each month: http://nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/dragon-hall/tours/
There are other places you can visit in Norfolk and Suffolk if you're able to take a day trip: http://tinyurl.com/KMlocations

Began watching again last night, but this time, starting from Season 5. Every September when I begin watching episodes, life gets busy, and I usually tail off around Season 4. So to combat that, I am starting on a later season for 2022.
The problem with this time of year also, is I begin counting down to Christmas super early. 1st September is when it all begins for me. To that I begin watching shows which remind me of Christmas, and those would be primarily shows which have a Christmas Special. It's too early to watch the actual Christmas Special episodes, so the regular seasons of Father Ted, The Office, The Royle Family, BlackAdder and others will suffice up until November.
Add to the above, that I also begin watching episodes of Gamesmaster at this time too, for the exact same reasons I would rewatch Knightmare at this time of year too. September 1st to December 25th is easily my favourite time of year.
