An Idea

It's illegal. You are NOT allowed to sell ANY copies of Knightmare whether on videotape, CD or DVD. There used to be a group of traders working to provide people with KM but that had to be stopped when copyright issues arised after somebody tried to sell episodes of Knightmare on Ebay for £40 each, or something along those lines.
It was all very upsetting for Knightmare fans, frightening for the traders and a lot of hassle for Tim Child who, unfortunately, had to be involved to help pass on the message, so however good the intentions are it really isn't advisable

ok then i didnt know bout tht case lol
has any1 ever seen a dvd range called cult classics or cult selection? titles such as rainbow are made in this series. how about finding out the publishers info and posting them the petition for the dvd release as most of the titles previously were on citv.

Ah... hadn't appreciated that.
Guess that means I'm stuck with my sh*tty copy of Season 1...

Don't worry - if your series 1 copy is an original broadcasting and has a few of the old adverts inbetween its all good a snippet of the TV past, if you like - as it was! I'm sure they'll show series 1 again at some point
Sadly not... it was a sh*te copy I got from one of the traders a couple of years back. It's almost entirely in balck & white, the sound quality's mostly terrible (don't even try listening to what the Wall Monsters are saying), and it's generally lacking in quality on the whole.
Oh well... guess just having a copy of it should be enough to be grateful for...

ok just found the name of the producers of them dvd sets i was on about....they are called freemantle media and are linked with thames production...........
also sometimes challenge play 3/4 hrs back to back of takeshi castle.......maybe a request for knightmare to be played series by series could be put forward and to be played at an off peak time (i.e. 11pm onwards) coz lets face it i think they are over killing takeshi as i have seen episodes repeated several times within a month and its getting quite lame.
just before the xmas cult thing they had going last yr i made several emails to challenge requesting knightmare and i always got writen responses that my comments will be noted (which is bull*hit lol) but hey if we all get together and bug them a bit i think something may come of it!

This may sound a little abrupt but no malice or flame intended.....
Best idea of the lot :- Avoid ANYTHING that involves copying/pirating actual episode recordings!!!!!! :-[
It's too much of a copyright minefield to be worth attempting (any of the 'old guard' remember NKTP?) . Also, the paranoia that it would kill a commercial release is to great.
Tie-ins like fanfic, screensavers, themes, 'remixes' of the KM theme, any of the poems and such like that appear here at the forum ETC ETC ETC
THAT is worth trying!

There's still a snippet about tape trading on there, but probably safe to say that such things have been stopped on this site for good.
