Challenge WILL show series 5!
-
Isn't it just sir. Hehe, you part-time fan, you!
I remember vividly when the announcement was made for the showing of S4 in April, for a group of us were in the final days of the RPG filming, and nobody had access to computers or anything - and when Emii went home, I think it was, she sent the news through. Gave Ali, the creator of our interactive quests, a big hug. Clentched fists, celebratory shouts were the order, at least from me.
And now, I was lolling around on the KM and Challenge forums to get the news first hand - and feel totally over the moon about it - it's so like we're making a difference! There's a real feeling of our influence now. Great stuff, absolutely fantastic.
-
Indeed.
Three series of Km shown inside of a year. Not only is this great for us (well, those of us who have Challenge! ::)) in the short term but it's strengthening the general fan base, and raising Km's profile - which is exactly what is needed now that a new series is being developed.
-
Absolutely. Have always thought, and perhaps once or twice said, on the prospect of the DVD releases, that KM can be absolutely huge, because of this extra time that's passed, which means KM keeps all of its existing fans, now a little 'older' than the program was originally designed for, and now it can catch up on that mini-generational gap, attracting lots and lots of young people, who either missed the chance to see it, were too young back then to see it, and fans who can reignite their passion for the show.
So right on the importance of grabbing popularity for the new series that are being produced. Can all be absolutely massive, and wouldn't we be proud to see that happen?
-
It's gonna be shown in October, so we have a good month to just relax, suffer selective amnesia, and re-watch every episode between here and then.
Challenge, the Floaty White Skull is now appeased - go in peace. :-X

It's possible that they view series 1 and 2 to be prototypes of a kind - where everything was still being worked out and that by series 3 the show had found its feet. As a result, I'd imagine that they'd only get series 1 and 2 when all the others have been exhausted and there is still demand.
As for what happens after ALL the series are shown and there is still demand... well, who knows?
-
It is indeed good news.
I'm slightly surprised at the days they'll be showing it. I suppose it heralds the possibility that they therefore won't show it to death within a few months, which is good. However, I do hope they make sure to keep their GJs' comments geared to telling people the day of the next episode, since it will be less obvious than before. More informative comments, less comments about fake tan. Oh, and I hope that once they've shown it once or twice they act a little quicker in deciding whether or not they intend to buy another series than they have in the past.
But, at the same time, yay.
-
I don't think that they will take as long to purchase another series when series 5 appears, due to the popularity I beleave that it will get. I believe it will be a lot more popular than series 4 was, one reason because of it not being shown every day and so it lasts longer. Also another due to Lord Fear and the opposition, which provides the tension. I also believe that Takeshis Castle will have died out slightly by then.
-
Ooh, Takeshi's dying out, we can only dream! hehe
Perhaps someone should start up a thanx challenge thread on the challenge forum?!
Makes a change from the 'challenge is a pile of pants' threads!
hehe

I havn't managed to look at the Challenge scheduales for next week, but I have got a tv magazine which my mum got free with another and was looking through it to see what's on Challenge next week. I noticed that it says thet Takeshis Castle is on at 10am all next week and I couldn't find Knightmare listed at all anywhere. 100% is on at 5am also. I havn't managed to watch Knightmare for the past couple of weeks due to work. I havn't minded so much since it's repeats of series' 3 and 4.
-
I've just checked the schedules for next week at www.challengetv.co.uk and its got Knightmare down on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7.30pm. I don't know if this will be regular from now until Series 5 starts, but it's a pretty good slot for it now that the school holidays are over.
