Worst series?

You're welcome to her.
I have Melis these days. Mid you, What exactly did u shoot me with? Nothing too damaging I hope, she won't be impressed!

That's alright then. The pain will subside. Seen anything of Melisandrinoff recently? The castle is getting quite cold and lonely without her.

err... I think that series 4 was one of the worst, as it was a shock after series 3 being so good.
On the other hand, allthough I would never say a bad word about the show itself, I personally think that series 5 was terrible in most ways. The graphics were abserlutely crap, and I mean crap. There was nothing good about the scenes, exept for the rare settings of the coridoor of blades. The eye shield sequences in series 5 were awful too. Somehow, they improved a great deal for series 6. I also don't know how you can call some of the S5 characters good. I can't help but cringe when I see series 5, because I think about anyone who is switching on for the first time ever, to see what Knightmare is like. if you were seeing Knightmare for the very first time, and it was series 5, how inclined would you be to tune back in?
My favourite was series 3 (obviously! )... But I really want to see series 1 and 2, because although I have never seen much of them, the screenshots look really good, and lets be honest, series 1 2 and 3 are the only 'pure series'... the way Tim Child first dreamt it up.

Is there such a thing a a worst series of Knightmare?
The series can be summaried as:
1 - 3: Mainly all hand-drawn based rooms.
4 - 5: Introduction of recorded footage used to link between rooms.
6 - 7: Returning to passage ways in the form of 'real' dwarf tunnels (not computer generated). Starting to use computer generated environments.
8: Almost totally computer generated environments I think.
Each series is different and to those who want to find a worst series...
...GOBLIN FODDER!

I used to love series 1-4 and I found 5-8 to be big dissapointments. That is to say I don't think they wre rubbish but they had strayed too far away from the original theme of knightmare. That a sub-teranian realm consisting of dungeons and caverns rather than places like Wolfenden or Witch-haven etc. Granted much of series 4 was out of doors, but it was a good mixture of the old and the new.

I have to say that my least favourite series is series 8. It wasn't overly bad as such, it did have some redeeming features. But I think the main problem with it for me was that the rooms were pretty much all CG, and I did like the inclusion of the images of real locations that had been treated with that weird CG effect, used in earlier seasons. That's not to say that the CG wasn't good, it was very good and still looks good to this day, but I guess the old style had a special place in my heart!
I think series 7 was the perfect compromise for me because it had the mix of the two (Alas without Pickle! ). But things have to move on, don't they.

According to knightmare.com Challenge have brought the rights to series 1 & 2 and will be showing them from June. That will be interesting to see, after series 8.

Man why all this series 4 hate I quite like it its dark and moody unlike series 5 which doesnt seem moody and dark at all.
And series 6 is one of the best if not the best series of KM there is.
The reason 4 gets so much stick is because after series 3 people can't take it that its enitrely different and its been made much easier granted that is true however what you need to remember is series 4 was just the begging of the build up for series 6.
series 1 2 & 3 are similar concept inside the dungeon and all rooms are in the 3 series at some stage.
Series 1 begins it all series 2 added improvements and series 3 took everything good from 1 and 2 plus its own features to make it th best of the original km trilogy If ya like.
Then the second era begins the pickle era new technology has come present and they are experimenting new ideas including outdoor surroundings using real life locations and then adding colour edits to sharpen the mood series 4 and 5 were experiements in a way and the good things from series 4 and 5 (Ie causeways etc though the B n T should have seen another season or two) were all improved and put in series 6 along with that series other own new features it made it the overall best of that outdoor trilogy.
Series 7 technology has really come on along way there and we see alot of scenery for outdoors now is actually computer generated and completly fictional this is kinda of a outdoor series all in its own right and nothing really obstacle wise is in it from the previous 3 seasons has new challenges instead.
Series 8 is a indoor series all in its own right too since nothing from the original 3 is in series 8.
