    In the early series, there seems to have been a definitive, specific, laid out path. An item was used in a particular location and if you didn't have the item (for whatever reason) when it was needed then you died. The problem is that this lead to the situation where you can do badly in the clue room and still get through the dungeon by being lucky with your selection of items. On the other hand, if you did well, picked up exactly the right items, but missed a clue (or didn't understand the advice given) you were certainly dead. So bad teams could progress and good teams could fail, and it wasn't necessarily clear why. Later series seem to have eased up on this and there always seems to have been an alternative approach available for taking the wrong items (at least in level 1).

    Could someone please help? I'd really like to see the extended version. You can now watch the original upload of the extended Geek Week episode here. There's also a later upload here. Let us know what you think of it. Something I've only just noticed: the first thing to happen in the episode is a facing-away-from-the-camera sidestep (by Veruca). Surely deliberate? Thank you! Great to see the extra stuff! Also nice to hear the opening theme tune fade out naturally without the door-creaking-open sound effect at the end.

    Hugo has been known to make a few cameo appearances at Knightmare Live performances - both he and Mark Knight featured at the Leicester Square Theatre performance in November last year.

    I wonder if the Lords Of The Game pilot will forever remain a convention exclusive or if there might still be any future opportunity to see it. (And the pilot eps of Knightmare, for that matter. Would be cool if Tim could dig them out for the 40th anniversary next year!) I fear it’s unlikely. The pilot was filmed as “not for broadcast” so I imagine that legally it cannot be distributed. We did ask if we could include it on the DVD but although he gave it serious consideration, Tim said nay. I fear the pilots may have the same status

    Hey guys, I uploaded a video to the post section on the Knightmare Facebook page. Its a quick minute video on the on the helmets up close and a fan enjoying the moment too. Obviously it's just a montage video for the time being. The original plan was to email a full on video and a few other snippets to Mystara but unfortunately GMail wouldn't allow me to send anything that was larger than 20MB which is pathetic in all honesty and I'm not a big fan of uploading to YouTube for certain reasons. It's not brilliant, but for the time being it's all I can muster. Like I said though, it is located on the main Knightmare Facebook page and look under "Visitors Posts" and it should be there. Hope you guys like it

    that is good. i'm not the only one. others are like me too. I was remembering something that happened about 12 years ago. when I found a knightmare convention by chance. 10 years before I got to see the knightmare tv show by chance. sometimes a small thing causes a big long story to spill out. has anyone heard any more about this knightmare convention that's meant to be happening soon?. has anything been decided yet?

    I would like to wish Knightmare a very happy 29th birthday. Hope you have lots of good wishes and dungeoneers and hope that you have a new series soon. I'm excited at the Knightmare convention that is happening soon. Has anything been confirmed yet? I'm telling my dad [Joe] about Knightmare and that there's one happening soon. Looking forward to it.

    It's the start of Series 5 episode 11. And yes, both things are from the same scene (where Pickle wakes from a nightmare about Lord Fear sitting in Treguard's chair).

    Part of my plan is to film it as if it were an new episode/series kind of thing ............as if Knightmare never left. With stop frame filming possibly. Some of the cast of old will return as a younger Lego version. As if twenty years haven't passed by sort of thing. I plan for Lissard to appear in it as Lord Fear's helper/henchman/same role he played after Skarkill left. Skarkill will also appear. As will Pickle. Also GOBLINS. I plan to make the sound effects myself. All of them. Imitates goblin horn. You can only make adults and children with Lego figures. Children are the smallest size with Lego figures that you can build yourself. Talking of Lego figures...... I have made a Lego version of Tim Child. If he's on Facebook i can show him a picture of his Lego self. One quick question do you think Skarkill will be able to walk now or should i build him a wheelchair out of Lego? Lord Fear might have been studying the equal rights act and taken some notes.

    Chat really needs, as Mashibinbin put it, a landlord. Someone who knows the regulars, who can get people talking, be there most weeks, and run events that keep people coming back. It's a job that needs someone to be in contact with most of the community. None of the current knightmare.com staff have the time, and nobody has volunteered, so at the moment, chat is bumbling along. As usual, the community's apathy is its own undoing.

If the Knightmare Top Trumps cards are accepted as canon, Pickle is supposed to be 356 years old. Which is still relatively young by elf standards, of course! I get the impression Elita is very young and immature. By elf standards he's only a 25 year old based on his youthful looks and how mature he appears to be. Elita is not even seventeen yet and is still in detention at school and has been since she was seven. I think Pickle is the youngest male in his family and has at least two siblings. He and seven old me would have been playmates i reckon. When i was two years old until i was 5 i kept having dreams about this brightly coloured castle with brightly coloured rooms and there was an elf there who i know now looks like Pickle but I called him Patches. Not sure Patches was his real name though. Perhaps he is one of Pickle's siblings. Maybe i met Pickle then and didn't know it.

    Wait a minute! I've got the most splendid idea! If everybody who gets aggressive in pubs did that then there'd be no violence in high streets up and down the country on a Friday and Saturday night, right? The NHS would save money and everything! If we can get today's impressionable youth to watch Knightmare and tell them* that's* how mindless violence works, nobody'll ever get glassed, punched or stabbed again! The victim would be half way home by the time the aggressor lands a punch! BRING BACK KNIGHTMARE! Genius idea...... would work in my home town.......

    I thought Legolas was related to Pickle cause they look quite similar to each other. I'd heard of Lord Of The Rings when i was younger and had no idea of all the mentions of Lord Of The Rings in Knightmare until i found this forum by chance. I think elves are quite nice. Read somewhere once that elves can play tricks on humans. So can fairies. One little question...... You're walking along in your local town... Where you live... On a windy day.... When what looks like a folded ten pound note catches your eye..... A brown ten pound note...... You run away after it and find it has gone under a motor..... You look under the motor to see where the money went..... After bending down and looking underneath you find...... A brown leaf. The question is...... Have you not been playing attention and chased a simple folded up leaf.... Or is there an elf nearby? Can elves make their own money out of leaves? Always keep your wits close and your smarts even closer...... Friends.

That was Virtually Impossible. My seven year old self hasn't forgotten that fish. Shudders. Hope he was cookable. I still feel that i would have loved Knightmare more then that Virtually Impossible even as a seven year old. Knightmare would have made more sense. Some of the challenges in Virtually Impossible were good but i think it was missing something. Like a better back story for that fish for a start. I only remember seeing a couple of episodes of it. Mostly because i didn't trust that fish as it didn't make sense with the way it talked and believed rightly or wrongly that the fish had done away with his original human crew. Art Attack was good. Singing Kettle News was good. Knightmare is up there with Raven. I loved Raven when it was on. Virtually Impossible...... Just needed a lot more work done on it. A lot more. And that fish to make sense. Talking under water......what? Then seven year old me might have enjoyed it more. As it is... seven year old me...... if i had had seen Knightmare as a seven year old that is..... wants Knightmare more ....... As Knightmare makes sense. I think looking back they rushed it through. That's why it made little sense. But Knightmare is still better [my own opinion based of what i have seen so far of both programmes] at this point in time. I might have liked Virtually Impossible if the fish hadn't spoiled it for me.
