What is your earliest memory Of KM?
-
At series 1 I would've barely been able to read and write at that time yet alone spell (K)nightmare. I don't know how or why I started watching Knightmare regularly or infact even how I came to start watching it. I probably started watching it through finding it from watching a programme which was on before hand. Looking at an old newpaper TV guide cutting for 8.9.89 where the CITV section is under the series guides section, it says that Ghost Train Special was on right before Knightmare. I used to love watching Ghost Train on Saturday mornings, which I used to get up for even though I couldn't get up for school during the week. I believe I used to watch the Ghost Train specials, which were on right before Knightmare and so that's how I may have gotten around to watch Knightmare. But then again it could be the other way around where Knightmare started me off on watching Ghost Train, but I'm not sure which though.

I remember watching it while having my tea with my brother...I've no idea when I started watching it, it can't have been in the early series because I would have been too little - the things I remember are Lord Fear and the spyglass scenes, because the red eyes used to scare me and the Smirkenorff rides, because I loved him, he grooved. I remember really enjoying it, and asking one of my friends if she wanted to go on it with me, which she did - unfortunately, that was 1994, and it stopped - I was gutted. But yeah - the red eyes and Smirky are the things I remember clearly from watching it first time round Oh, and Pickle and Treguard of course, because I thought Pickle was funny

Funnily enough, I seem to remember the purple eye shield sequences the most from s4, then I remember the causeways, the corridor of blades (seem to remember them most from s8 for some reason, even thought they never changed), Lord fear and the spyglass scenes mainly from the latter stages...
I remember the scrolls of s5, the update display from s4-8 (even those peculiar coin display things in s7 +8).
But the earliest is the thing I hated a fair bit on now watching it again. The s4 Eye Shield sequences. Probably because they were shown again and again.
Bits I remember most from s6-8:
Team dying in final causeway s7.
Blockers that still terrified me in s6.
Lissard.
Trial by spikes.
Zillions of flameballs in s7 and 8.
The final scene of s8, with the Smirkenhoff flight (for the last time). Don't remember Lord Fear's closing rant.

I have a memory of switching on the TV and hearing the words, 'OK, Mark - walk forward'. I was rooted to the spot in fascination. After that, I remember a dungeoneer being asked a question about powder colours, and Julian winning his quest, so I must have watched further episodes. It wasn't until I found knightmare.com that I discovered that I'd been watching Series 2.
Another clear memory is watching the first episode of Series 6 with my friend; we laughed ourselves silly at the new opening credits. How on earth does the dungeoneer in them manage to run around with such agility, with the Helmet on? No doubt this has been discussed on the Forum before now.

Series 1, programme 6 - the only episode ever to feature two deaths!
It was two days before my fifth birthday and I have a very good recall of that episode. When someone gets blown up and you're confronted with a Life Force death for the first time and you're not exactly sure what's going on, you tend not to forget.
-
My first earliest memory was seeing series 3 and seeing Golgarach and Brangwen for the first time -> was quite intimidating at age 6 years old lol.
-
I seriously can't remember. I can remember when I was young watching Series 8, however my memory is incredibally vague, all I can remember physically is the last episode, the winning quest which I didn't expect them to win, and some rooms such as the Corridor of Blades and the Trial By Spikes.
However I KNOW I can remember the original life force clock, and I swear I must have seen at least one ep of Series 4 that had Oakley in it.
Wish my memory was better, hmph.

My earliest memory of KM was from the first death of Series 3 (the first I'd seen of it), where my fellow Scot sank into the green bog! I remember seeing a preview for KM a few days before S3 started - I liked what I saw and I think that's why I started watching it. ;D
-
Thinking about it, I may have seen some of Season 1 first time round. That 4-door room with the 2 locks at the back doors that Team 4 were in just before the bomb room where they died does seem mighty familiar (and I mean familiar with the keyholes, not in the multiple other times the room's appeared )...
-
I can remember the quest where they freed the maid. What one was that?
And the bomb rooms/Lillith/Wheel of fortune as well.
-
Watching the pilot episode in '87 and feeling unsure whether it was a gameshow or a series satirising "The Adventure Game". The way that the first dungeoneer said, "I seek knighthood" was so forced it left me thinking for some while that the whole thing was scripted, and not just the set pieces.
-
I started watching during series 7. I recall team 2's death for not having the nightsight, and the green Hordriss also rings a bell.
-
I saw KM from episode 1 but not sure how I knew about it as I was a BBC watcher rather than a CITV watcher. Shows how old I am but I can remember the day CITV started. All my mates were real excited and went home and watched the first day of CITV, where as boring old me went home and stuck to BBC.
Anyway first memories of KM
Mildread is my first charecter memory ( Besides Treguard )
Closely followed by Folly and Mogdred
The serpants tounge room
The room where fires rise from the floor on each side
Wellways
Igneous and the other early wall monsters
My first team memory is the team that tried to cast the wrong spell on Mogdred. the long one insted of the short one. Sorry spell names escaped me now.
Laters

This was in Series 4, and the spells were TRANSFORMATION and BUT (or BUTT). It may forever be a puzzle what each of these uncast spells would have done; the idea of Mogdred being beaten is incredible...
-
I think the BUT spell had somehting to do with what Mogdred said: I consider your presence here a personal insult!
