Update from Tim Child
-
Star Trek came back, Family Guy came back... and both of them had fans who never let the flame go out, welcomed them back with open arms, and used too many clichés in one sentence. But here's one more: never say never. In the meantime, however long it may be, there are episodes from Series 1-8 to treasure, along with the books etc., and the positive aspects of the Knightmare legacy that so many of us feel in our lives.

I was hoping that with Challenge showing KM again they might've been interested, or at least shown some interest, maybe there is still hope though. I am also a little surprised that Channel 4/T4 didn't show any slight interest as some of their broadcasting, particularly T4 is aimed at older Children and teenagers. I believe that this also looks bad for a possible dvd release. I hope that there is interest someday.
Just slightly off, but does anyone agree that bva's post should be on the main site/knews section?

That's a real shame. I know BBC2 want a new family show to be on either before or after Dick and Dom as it'd be a hour of family programming! Surprisingly (sarcasm), the nature programme hasn't got a lot of viewers and they need a replacement. I expected KMVR to take this place.

Man, some people just cant see the potential in shows. I reckon TV is in a state of shock ATM, there arnt very many Decent new shows out ATM, only repeats, Cheesy Talk Shows, and Rather Stupid Childrens shows, which bear as much intellect as a well dried peanut. Work their brains I say! Hyah!

This is sad news, I only just noticed it. But I understand te situation, and that Knightmare is not dead yet. However, it certainly means the project has taken a few steps backwards, having made lots of progress, or at least a concept which could have worked well.
I certainly hope Knightmare has a future still, and that something else can be worked out.. We must never give up, not now we've come this far.

Anything can come back at any given time. Shows written off as being long dead have come back to massive success, it is never over, it is only ever preparing to come back. I feel it shall the day television companies stop pretending reality TV is the best thing to show on prime time slots. That day might be far away, sadly.
Either way Knightmare has been kept alive by everyone here for 6 years, and even longer in some sections.
Maybe KM is 'back' regardless, it is right here.

Pfft Haha???! What sort of coment is taht
If only I had a blue room I could make some internet based episodes with..........
THinks about stealing brothers room as he is at university.....

Let's keep nice and smiley. No need for any nastiness - particularly in a thread like this.
I think what a few people are driving at is that there is no substitute for actual episodes of Km, despite the nice fact that Km has brought us all together here (with a full nod, wink and gratitude for Illusion for being responsible for providing the 'here' in question).
-
It's a pity that any new KM may be sleeping or possibly even in a coma, but to be fair we're always going to keep the original alive, so in my eyes Tim did a bloody good job first time round, and I applaud him for giving it another go.
Whatever happens in the future, we're all right behind him, yes?

Emerges out of cave
Ah, this is a shame- it was looking good, the pilot- particularly with all the familiar faces around.
Children's TV could still do with a good kick up the backside- or should that just be Dick and Dom (actually, musn't be too unkind to them, they did show Hugo Myatt...in a cage...briefly...looking a tad confused...)?
It's amazing that the general public (or perhaps in this case the big cheeses at television towers) will tend to favour the inane and idiotic. Look what's been top of the music charts, for example...shudder.
Keep faith, Lord Tim of Childshire, and hopefully you may find a big cheese willing to take the plunge. Until then, we've still got 8 classic series still being broadcast today.

Darn it, I'm late as usual.
It's saddening to hear that the VR project has ended so soon, but high hopes for the future of Knightmare, as it deserves a ressurection.
I'd just like to thank Tim Child for creating such a great program that had me hooked in my childhood and then making the best attempt to bring it back.
Thanks for everything Tim!

So is this finally the end for Knightmare? I really couldn't say. Somehow it keeps coming back. Maybe it's just sleeping?

I think it's awake.
