      It doesn't matter what the programme is. As long as the distributors know it's a money-spinner it will be released.

        And there's no advert breaks, dodgy challenge logo or nasty video jockeys talking over the end credits!

        Challenge losing money is also a large plus though.

        Very catty, but after 8 or 9 months of trying to gently push Challenge, ChallengeTV, Challenge?, Challenge!!!, Challenge$&{<[/*, or whatever they've branded themselves this week, in the right direction, I can understand the frustration of some people. So add my muted 'Miaow', although I doubt a DVD would hurt their viewing figures much. Anyway, they lose most of them on their own through lapses into hapless inadequacy. Oh, Grimwold, stop it, you agreed to be nice.

            There are only so many episodes of Knightmare to watch, if they were on DVD would you just watch them all over and over again?.  Its odd but having them avalible at spaced intervals somehow keeps interest alive.

            DVD's should have extras and be released in series at staged intervals.

              i hope the DVD's will be released in all one go, but i do agree they should have bonus material on the DVDs so we can find out how the show was made....

              Mrs Grimwold

              Let loose Festus on Challenge and see if we cant persuade them to stop changing their name..

              On a more realistic note has anyone got any idea why they do keep changing their name? Seems pointless to me...

                Ta!  ;D

                I think GM could release series 1 only, to test the water. As I say, series 1 can fit onto one disc, which would allow for another separate disc to be crammed with goodies. If it's a big enough success, then the following series can be progressively released. The BBC are releasing the series of Red Dwarf progressively over time. They have already released series 1 and 2. Series 3 is coming out soon, I think, if it hasn't come out already. I think it will take a couple of years for all of them to come out. Then again, that's probably because of organising cast commentaries, remastering, design etc. It's possible a similar time-frame would be observed with the release of Km onto DVD, too, if a similar style is adopted.

                  I must admit I was a little catty with the whole woohoo, challenge is gonna lose money! thing but I think I'd just been looking at all the rubbish on their forum and was feeling a tad peeved,

                  Although I'd love to get all the series on DVD in one go they're probably gonna stagger them, if only for the fact that most people wont realise what they're spending on the entire eight series if it's spread out over a longer period.

                  Lets see, £15 (approx) a series times 8 series.....

                  If my maths right (doubtful) that's £120

                  Actually that's not that bad, hmmmm......

                  Anyway, it's a lot easier on the pocket if it's split over two years...

                    well it depends, they may release 4 parts to each season  😮   and most full season dvds come between £20-£40

                    but the list price for dvds now is £16-£20  unless u find one of them backyard stores who will give u a great deal lol

                      Well, that's not too bad for a DVD.  I saw someone pay over £40 for a DVD in my local video store...  Besides, I'd pay that to watch Knightmare again!

                              well it really depends...the box set of buffy DVD's (1 season) cost £70 however that's 22x45mins rather than 16x25maxmins.

                                And Buffy is a very popular series around the world while Knightmare is a brittish game show. Buffy and the likes can be marketed far better than Knightmare can. I can imagine it being £19.99 each series.

                                  I concur. £20-25 sounds about right to me
