    A documentary as well?! This is VERY good!  ;D

    btw, it is imperative to get good quality recordings of this series (eg highest quality DVD recordings from whoever has a DVD recorder) as these will be invaluable for tape trading later on, should Challenge decide not to show any more.

    If Km is a big success, then Challenge might just put the show on regular rotation...  😉

      so that's what dan was hinting at....

      dan is a friend of mine who works for one of the producers (he told me which one when he was drunk).  friend of a friend played the samurai and the giants foot (he is now a kendo instructor).

      anyway, dan posted this on one of my boards the other day:

      'Inside information allows me to imply, if not state, that Knightmare might just be repeated on digital TV some time soon...

      Will keep Games Soc posted.'

      tis all very very good...

      yes, i know, i have contacts and i forgot to tell you, i am a bad bad person.

                  If Challenge? get the ratings they're after in January, then they said they will commission Series 8. btw Debz, we never did find out what a Wood Elf was did we?  😕

                    a wood elf is basically a sub species of elf, mostly popular because it is found in bloodbowl etc (fantasy wargaming armies).

                    a wood elf is so called because they live in forests.  they are also known as sylvan elves.  they are highly skilled with bows and tend to wear a green coloured, tight fitting armour that appears to be made of bark.

                    there are many subraces of elf.  the most notable being high elves (often found in sithicus in ravenloft), aquatic elves (sea elves), drow (dark elves), known for their darkvision and often evil alignment, gray elves and wild elves (grugach).

                    More information (including a picture) can be found on pages 20 - 22 of the 3rd ed D&D monster manual.

                    spot the roleplayer.... i could do almost all of that off by heart.

                      Wow...nice one Rachel! But how many of us simple folk who watch KM religiously knew what a Wood Elf was? The only elves I know of are Elita and Pickle...oh and the woman from series 3, Velda or summat! I know Elita was a Cavern Elf or whatever, but what about the other two?

                        Um, Pickle was a wood elf, I think Tim Child said to in The Quest.

                        Elita was a cavern elf, that was pretty much obvious as she - uh - went about in caverns, and was rarely (if ever) seen outside. Again, Tim Child said she was a cavern elf.

                        Velda would be much more difficult to classify. Again, I'd say she had cavern-elvish tendencies (we never saw her outside - but then in series 3 we never saw ANYTHING outside!). She is, however, obviously a warrior elf - frequent referrals to her clan and very skilled at being armed show this...

                        I'd have liked to see some half-elves in Knightmare actually. That'd have been good.

                          I think series 7 and 8 were the best because of the improvement of graphics. Having looked at series 3, the scorpian only had a five frame animation which looks a bit cheap!

                                 But thats just me

                            The graphics may have been poor compared with todays standards, but when you think about it the graphics in series 3 were rather good considering it was 1989.

                            The Mine Cart is a prime example of this, it was amazing!

                                I'm very happy about all this, but I'm disappointed that only Series 3 has been commissioned so far. Of course, I know this is great news, but I'm a perfectionist, and unless the entire series rights are obtained by Challenge, I won't be totally satisfied.

                                I'm looking forward to the documentary, even though Treguard tells me it will only be about two minutes long. I shall purchase some high quality video tapes and record the lot. I also hope that Challenge doesn't play adverts or voice-overs during the intro/end credits of the episodes...although they probably will.

                                  I'm not sure about the documentary. I never wanted to see one about Knightmare. I think it would totally detract fron the fantasy, which, after all, is what drew me to Knightmare in the first place...

                                    I just got the Sky Customer Mag this morning, and it says about Challenge? Cult Christmas as being on December 26th. Has any one else seen this??

                                      Challenge? will apparently be making their presenters digital (Whatever that means) as they too hated putting presenters over the credits. As far as the logo is concerned, they don't seem to have any intention on removing it. Also don't forget they'll most likely put long breaks between.

                                      I'm looking forward to the documentary, even though Treguard tells me it will only be about two minutes long.

                                      Don't forget we talked about the full uncut version I'd be getting the rushes from them (almost a good hour) and as Hugo told Debz and I, Tim gave some very interesting points.

                                        Whatever that means, it does sound good. I'm one of the sad people who likes to watch an episode in it's entirety, from the opening music to the ending credits. It just makes everything that little bit more special.

                                        I'm not bothered about the logo being there. At least I'll be able to watch Knightmare without muffled sound (That wink is directed at Treguard, obviously).

                                          Hehe. Series 3 Don't know why, either the original recording or the sound on the original master when broadcast on Sky was really bad
