USA pilots

Very good point indeed.
Series 1 is sufficiently short enough to fit onto a single disc. This would another disc solely for extras such as the Chromakey experiment, the two pilot episodes, deleted scenes and outtakes.
Such a huge hoard of goodies would make it as attractive as possible to potential buyers - and thus snare as big a sale as possible, justifying the release of all the other series.
If Granada really want to push to boat out, they could even make a short documentary to accompany the DVD release - possibly in eight small parts, one for each series. They could contain clips of the foreign formats.

Hey all, thanks for the information. Its a shame the USA pilot was only 30 mins, they would be lucky to get to level 3 even if it was only one team. I'll go sign the DVD petition now and see what comes of age.

As far as the American version was concerned, no wonder it didnt get past the pilot without Hugo Myatt! He was what made the show so good. Apparently the dvds can be bought direct from the maker, but as its a single order its rather expensive. Maybe if a group of people got together, they would drop the price?

DVD's and VHS brought direct is very expensive and i doubt the price would be greatly dropped for bulk orders unless they reached HUGE amounts...at which point it becomes more cost efficient for them to release the dvd/video commercially. its got somthing to do with actors getting payed for recordings as it wasnt included in their original contract. not sure completely but at £80+ quid PER EPISODE on DVD i'm certainly praying for a commercial release.

Having said that one wonders what a Knightmare series one episode one would make on somwhere like Ebay. I can see the mails now .... What do you mean, origianl?
-
Man ..... I never had the investment money.

...until September!
I'm off to the USA tomorrow for three months...I wonder how many series ahead challenge will be by then? I will attempt to get on here, and check the board, I especailly can't wait for Skip's game, which sounds wonderful!
Anyway, bye for now I guess!

Your mission it to get everyone in the USA interested in Knightmare.

How can I get hold of the pilot version of the American Knightmare?
If we knew that we'd all have copies!
Seriously, it's been suggested that if there's ever a DVD release of KM, the Lords Of The Game pilot would be included in it. But don't hold your breath, there's little sign of a DVD release any time soon...

Weeeeelllll....
Not so long ago, people were looking dejected because getting repeats shown ANYWHERE looked far off.....
We can live, learn and hope.

There is always a chance, the fact that KM has come back to TV and a new series is on the horrizon goes to show that anything is possible.
Back in the early days of this website nobody really thought KM had a chance in hell of getting repeats, let alone a new series. We just kept hoping and hoping, and BBK-ing and BBK-Ing!
A DVD is not too far fetched after all that
-
one day.... if we had dvds.... my sky+ would no longer be full of knightmare and then i could record other crap of the tv.....one day....sighs
Go easy Mog!
If I was able to get it elsewhere and save ye the trouble. I WOULD!!
Anyway, You wouldn't have met this pack of lovely nutters if you hadn't followed me down the rabbit hole wellway...
