"Broadsword produces The Satellite Game for The Children's Channel on BSB Satellite"
There was no "Childrens Channel" on BSB. The five channels were Galaxy (entertainment), Now (women), The Sports Channel (guess :p), The Movie Channel (ditto), and The Power Station (music). However, Galaxy had a childrens strand called 'Galaxy Club', sort of like their version of CITV. It's likely, then, that "The Childrens Channel" should be "the Galaxy channel".
There was a Children's Channel on satellite TV many years ago, it came to the Astra satellite in 1989, though it had started in 1984 on cable. It spent the last five years of its life deciding whether it wanted to be TCC, Children's Channel or THE Children's Channel before deciding to say "sod it" and dying, giving its entire program output to Trouble which has since dumped pretty much all of it, some of which has been bought up by other channels.
Lots of TCC presentation on TV Ark:

Therefore it is incorrect to say that this reference should be changed to "The Galaxy Channel" as TCC was never Galaxy but a separate channel in its own right. Anyway BSB didn't launch until March 1990 and merged with Sky eight months later.

Yeah, I remember it, but that wasn't a BSB one, and Tim Child definitely mentions it was for BSB in the History.
You'd be surprised the number of people who still use the term BSB where they should be using the term Sky. People did actually buy BSB equipment you know Apparently you can still use the square aerials and boxes if you point them in the right direction.

On the Series 3, Level 1 page, 'Layer of the Dreaded Kar' should be 'Lair of the Dreaded Kar'.

"Brief look at Hugo Myatt's appearance as a vampire on Chucklevision."
(SPOILER)The big twist at the end of the episode is that Hugo's character isn't a vampire at all, and his assistant (Igor) is. So 'a vampire' should be changed to 'the master of a castle'.(/SPOILER)

"He played a vampire"
See above. (Sorry about the spoiler thing, just that people might read this thread who haven't seen the episode).

Both these pages contain mildly amusing references to ghosts being killed. Surely impossible! I'd suggest changing 'ghost' to 'cavern wraith' (for the sake of accuracy), and 'kill' to something with less of an implication of mortality, like 'banish' or 'destroy'.

The FAQ question 8 points to the old address of www.talkknightmare.co.uk. Also, series 1 page 1, 'silver proceeds gold' should be 'silver precedes gold'.

A thabulous threesome:

"However, the original episodes broadcast on ITV in 1987 showed this older Anglia production logo."
The Challenge repeats also feature this logo.

Sometimes, idents and voiceovers were used instead of presenters, as demonstrated here at the end of episode 1 of series 6 of Knightmare.
The announcer in this clip is Philip Elsmore, a Thames continuity announcer.

Useful Knightmare listing by Billy Hicks on this free encyclopaedia.
The idea of Wikipedia is that anyone can add to it at any time, so it'd be unfair to say that I wrote the whole thing (I wrote 95% of it, but other people are also adding to it). I suggest just "Useful Knightmare listing on this free encyclopaedia.".

I did a bit of hunting around, and here's what I found:
- The Sci-Fi Channel started on the 1st November, 1995. So it seems Knightmare was part of the schedule from the very start- it was certainly being shown by the 9th.
- By mid-1996, it was shown at 9.20am weekdays, and 11.30am weekends. I don't know if it changed from mid '96, but it had changed by that time.
- By the 27th October 1996 (again, not sure if it changed then or earlier) it was being shown at 10:00am Sundays only. This continued until the 22nd December (29th December was a Battlestar Galactica marathon).
- From the 4th January 1997, it was shown at 7.30am Saturdays and Sundays, and 10:05am Sundays. Before then the listings started at 8am, so presumably it coincided with the channel's broadcast hours being extended. The times were still the same by October 1997.

"18.11.94"
Sorry, seems I miscounted. It should read 11.11.94.
(Spookily, it happened 11 years ago today!)
http://www.knightmare.com/series/8/winners.htm
"Episode 10 : Friday 18th November 1994"
Again, since it started on the 9th September, the 18th should read 11th.

in thge pictures section of the website, there are two pictures of John Woodnutt as Merlin, but the pictures are credited as Clifford Norgate.

Fixed for the new verison, something I had already picked up when working on that page.

Some Series 4 ones:

The same style corridor was used for the corridor of blades in the level 3.
The third 'the' shouldn't be there.
http://www.knightmare.com/series/4/index.php?page=l3
This would be started off my either Mogdred or Malice
'by', not my.

Also saw a Pooka for the first time ever.
It was the second. The first time was during Simon's quest.
http://www.knightmare.com/series/4/index.php?page=teams2
Oakley scares Fatilla away, and gives the team some clues to the clue objects.
The "Also saw a Pooka for the first time ever." should be put after this sentence.

On the Series 1 first page, if you click on the links at the bottom to the individual teams (not the ones along the bottom row, the ones above it, with each link on its own line and a description with it, as well as the 'Continue to the First Quest' link), it comes out on a white background, but if you click on the links on the bottom row (all on one line), it works as (I think) intended. The links shoud be pointing to http://www.knightmare.com/series/1/index.php?quest=1, (numbers going from 1 to 6), but the links at the bottom of the series 1 'start page' for each team instead go to http://www.knightmare.com/series/1/q1.htm.
