Best Series
-
everyone has their own seris you cant just have a go at someone jut cos they like one over another, though seris 1-3 was very good and how it intended with the medivevil feel and the lack of people gave it the atmosphere that the dungeon was the enemy not a particular baddy. brilliant showing some great cliff hangers in seris 3 (excuse the pun team 6 an 11).
-
I have said for a looong time now, my avourite season overall is S3, yet all other seasons are generally on equal levels as thy all have something unique about them.
There is no harm in saying S4 is your favourite, or if S8 is your favourite, it down to perception and taste, and no differing opinion is necessarily wrong, yet claiming someone elses opinion as being 'wrong' certainly is.
-
I think that series 3 has a lot of strong features, which seem to be lost until series 8. In series 3 the computer generated effects were quite good as it was all set in the dungeon (OK the corridors needed working on in terms of effects). After series 3 something was lost when it was taken out of the dungeon and into the forest.

each time this is discussed i still say series 6, wiht the differnt death sequences and the drednaught and some very goood teams! very entertaining!!!
-
I have to say that I think my favourite series was 7. I guess this is because there were a coupl eof great quests (the winning ones!) and also series 7 and 8 are mainly the ones I remember watching.
-
My personal favourite Questing sessions would be the 5th and 6th. Granted the experiments with the technology lost some of the 'feel' of the earlier seasons but it was the first time that the 'Dungeon' had properly grown into a believeable space with locations and characters that you can follow rather than a series of seemingly random rooms and puzzles.
getting ready to duck and run AT THE TIME, I actually quite liked the Eye-shield wanderings because they helped to enhance the continuity from one room to the next.
On the other hand, the worst IMHO would be series Four and Eight. I simply don't like the 'pseudo-quakeness' of the CG dungeon (WAY to clean and geometric) in series 8.
Not forgetting to mention the fact that the S4 quests were nearly all cookie-cutter identical! The puzzles only changed slightly and the actual progression of the quest early-on practically didn't change at all!
-
I say series 2. Simply because it's so much harder and more dangerous than later series's.

Favourite:
-
Series 6
-
Series 3
-
Series 2
-
Series 4
-
Series 1
-
Series 7
-
Series 8
8 ) Series 5
Easiest: Most definitely series 8 I think, which makes Team 1 look all the more embarassing.
Hardest: Series 3
I think the show reached it's peak at Level 3 from what it started as. However it went through two transition series's and eventually brought us the brilliant Series 6. I think Knightmare went downhill from there. It was still good but it was in decline and the ideas were running thin.

Series 5
Having said that, it's all Knightmare, and each and every one of those 8 series make up the reason why this community even exists. I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to watch any series of KM.
However, when I watched them originally on CITV, I was disappointed with S4 and 5 in many ways.

I think Series 6 was excellent, very haunting and had a genuinely dangerous feeling in it which was lacking in S4 and 5.
I didn't like 4 or 5 - although 5 was my first series and got me hooked, and it had lots of good characters in it, I suppose. 4 was just so repetitive - seen one quest: seen 'em all.
I liked 7, not sure why - I just did - probably because of Julie and Barry - and I really liked 8. I think the only problem with 8 was the fact that it was too short and a lot of quests needed to be sped up or killed off quickly in order to fit them all in. But I liked it. The CGI-type changes were a little skewed, but with the advance of the technology at the time, who can blame them for trying things out?
Which leaves me with the first three. Now, Series 3 is really good, but I've seen it all so many times it's getting boring - I prefer watching series I haven't seen for a long time so I'm not quite sure what's coming up next! Series 2 is perhaps the most underrated series, because it's as good as 3 (IMO) and not given the recognition it deserves.
And Series 1 - slightly repetitive (although not as much so as 4), so somewhat boring in some respects. Although you have to like Series 1 - after all - it started everything!

My opinion on best series I always find hard, but here is how i would rate my top three
- Series 3
Most would seem to agree, it has everything a knightmare fan could dream of (except of course the corridor of blades). All the characters in this series provide convincing oscar winning performances. The fact no one won gives this series the undefeated element which is quite unique. There were some very memorable moments, and some brilliant nail biting quests. I think Leo's quest is possibly my favourite of all time. Almost a shame only three teams reached level three as it was thrilling to watch when they did.
- Series 7
Probably a very controversial choice- but series 7 was exciting and, and although level one was far easier than it should have been, i still love this series for things such as the rift of angar, play your cards right and bulstrow the troll. I remember series 7 well from when I first watched it (so i'm a bit biased), and I don't think I've ever been so glued to a tv programme before! Riveting stuff.
- Series 2
Fast paced, action packed, sometimes averaged a death an episode. What more can you want?
-
Ah, it's the series that introduced me to Knightmare for me, series 2, closely followed by 3, then 6, 4,5,7,1,8. Series 2 and 3 taken together are kind of a golden age, but I see why it had to expand. I'd actually forgotten how much I loved series 2 till I got hold of the videos again in 1999. And now it's all constantly on Challenge. Hurrah!!!

I would say, out of the first three (hand-drawn chamber) series, Series 3 was the best as it was the culmination of them, so I'm going to eliminate series 1 and 2.
However, I liked the way the game evolved in a gradual manner during those series, because it made the show seem familiar - as if you understood it well.
I also like the way you can fairly easily watch the pre-Spy Glass series (1-4) and generally know what the challenges are, without having to keep track of the clues and stories as they built up, as they were more localised.
Out of the Eye-shield-series-in-the-UK, namely series 4-6, Series 6 apparently had the highest viewing figures of any series at the original time of transmission and seems most cinematic of 4-6, although the gameplay has changed significantly from Series 3 and the dreadnort (a robot) seems anachronistic. The Lord Fear Spyglass seequences were overused in my opinion and I would have preferred a replacement wizard to Mogdred.
In series 7 and 8 we see the use of Eye-shield sequences in Spain rather than the UK, and the introduction of computer-generated chambers. For these reasons, I personally eliminate series 7-8 from being the best or most classic.
That leaves us with the range of series 3-6. Series 4 is interesting (despite the relative lack of variety between quests and the over-done discoloration in some places) because - in many ways - it is as if Series 3 has been projected into the outdoors, particularly with some of the characters (e.g. Motley now has an inn, and more authentic audience, for his entertainment; and Ariadne has her lair in the forest clearings). Yet it is also balanced in that it comprises 1) hand-drawn scenes by David Rowe (e.g. the Place of Choice, the exterior to the Crazed Heifer, the Bridge of Decision, the Transporter Pad Room), 2) Eye shield sequences in the UK, and 3) Computer-generated chambers (such as the Block and Tackle and the Corridor of Blades).
Series 3, if you prefer how it started (it does have the outdoors in a way and could even have incorporated some Series 4 outdoors scenes without the Eye Shield).
Series 4, taking Series 3 into the outdoors as an all-rounder that sums up Knightmare very well.
Series 6, visually very good and an understandable choice if you like the Lord Fear era.
For me, series 4 followed by series 6 and then series 3. But all of them have their sunshine and shade.

i loved all of them........ so to me they were all the best for different reasons.........
