Knightmare DVD Petition
-
Yes, the second half was always best. I didn't care much for the Go-Cartiness, but the actual Fun House part was great fun. To be honest, I can't even *remember *much of the first half, but that in itself probably tells a story as to how good it was.

For the sake of it...
If any-one is THAT desperate for the F**-H**** Go-Karts, They were supplied and run by Knockhill racing circuit (east of Stirling, Central Scotland).
I'm told that they still have the original karts and use them for hire on the Karting circuit at the track.
There a helluva site quicker than on TV as well (presumably the engines were restricted for Studio H+S)!!!!!

Ah, yes, Knockhill..used by Touring Cars and British Superbikes, if I'm not mistaken.
The circuit is very twisty....would only use the Horsepower restricted go-karts on there.
Knockhill is a weeny bit far from Preston, however...

Mutton dressed as lamb, perhaps?
British TV is on a little rocky road, at the minute, isn't it? Ol' Lord Hutton causes an earthquake at the BBC, ITV still aren't getting the figures (financial or viewers) they want, Channel 4 is lost in a sea of Salons and unfunny rubber-mask 'comedians' (Note to Avid Merrion: Your show is not good. Please remove it.), and only five is quite cheerful. Sky has problems with its management 'dealings'...but I'll happily declare any of them to be champions of TV if they give a go-ahead to something KM-related and good.
I think I should be on the radio Times forum, here...

Well, on the subject of DVDs and the petition I have both good and bad things to say, so I'll start with the bad: In general, online petitions are equivalent to p*ssing in the wind. The folk in charge just don't CARE.
However, I wouldn't give up hope of a DVD release. If Dogtanian and 80 Days Around The World With Willy Fog can be released on DVD and have enough demand for more volumes to be released, I'm sure people will realise they can milk some cash out of Knightmare. (And if they're going to release poorly animated 80's epics, I want Mysterious Cities Of Gold too dammit!)

I think I heard something slightly positive today. I was just watching a programme off and on about inventions with Jeremy Clarkson on BBC2 and it was all about the television. The positive thing I heard on it was where he was talking about what could happen in the future. He said something about people probably being able to watch every single channel being broadcasted on the computer, whilst doing other things such as browsing the internet, word processing, etc. He also said that we will probably be able to watch every single programme that has been broadcasted ever. So if that becomes the case, we will all probably be able to watch every single ep and series of Knightmare and we wont have to purchase a video or dvd. But when will this happen though? Probably not for a few years although it could end up being sooner than we think though. How many other people saw the programme?
-
Well, "rawr" to ITV Sales or whatever they're calling themselves today.
Is that true about *80 Days Around The World With Willy Fogg, *oh most filthy mouthed Elita? I might actually buy that, if it is. I used to love watching that, poor sad fool that I am. I wouldn't touch Dogtanian and its awesomely annoying theme music with an aluminium coated bargepole, however. *shudder *

Yes, I guess a bit would depend on how the merger affects things. I would guess it would put a lot of these "possible" projects one or the other branch had been planning out of the window, at least until the organisation is properly consolidated and such. Sadly something this we're asking is probably pretty low priority.
Still, would have been nice to know they even received the petition, but bleh.
-
I used to love that Dogtanian show, all for one and one for all muskethounds are always ready... :-[ . I do agree with Philly Fogg though, such a ladies man for a tiger?!
Ahh mispent youth
b.t.w If anyone is interested Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses 31 and M.A.S.K are currently doing the rounds on Fox Kids late night ;D Love it!

Hello all and apolergies for my extended leave of absense. During this time i've been trying to study maths at newcastle uni so i hope you can see why i've been out the game for a while.
the goods:
I sent both the petition and covering letter with numerous contact addresses (including the site) to granada and recieved..nothing.
After consultation with illusion a polite letter was sent asking if they recieved the petition. Again...nothing.
I wondered if it was worth asking BVA if he's heard anything about it and if not re-send the petition. I was thinking it may help if we had an actual person to send it to at granada...someone in their releases department for preference.

Well, not sure what the situation is since the merger and all, but BVA did seem previously to have some contact with some of the relevant people. If he doesn't mind, I guess it can't really hurt to ask him.

Sorry if there's a hint of Forrest Gump to this but ain't BVAs little claim to fame true?
There's 2 ways it could push this whole thing:-
-
it verifies the reality of any petitions and letters etc by having 'official' endorsement. or least input from those on high. IE good
-
Knowing how petty some big corps can be. Could it be mis-interpreted as 'programme maker squeeze old success dry' syndrome. IE BAD.
Please no-one think that dissing TC!
I'm looking forward to seeing what else KM VR will bring (and the RPG, and the site returning, and t........).Come on Granada! Extract the digit and at least let us now yer there!
