ABUK DVD

Okay, and thanks a lot for all your work with this.

It's very odd. It seems that, often as you try, you can't get on for a few days. Then suddenly you can get on all the time with no trouble. And it affects different people at different times. And some people can't get to the forum specifically, whereas others (like me) couldn't get to the site at all.

And as to whether he should change server, I'm sure Nic knows best.

Nothing to do with DVD, but I just remembered sending in a letter to The Quest when KM was still on. I really wanted to see Knightmare put on video, so I sent this in.
Here it is in Volume 3 - Number 2 (Spring 1994) of The Quest. ;D

(The second letter)
For some reason my name is James in that version, but it should be Jason.

I got a nice little Pioneer DVD player for Christmas with both series of Fawlty Towers. Seeing the animated menu and all the extras (interviews, commentary, outtakes and a special documentary) not to mention the pristine quality makes me all the more desparate to see Km on DVD.
Series 1 could fit on one disc (3 hours 20 minutes programme running time out of 4 hours, with the surplus for menus and disclaimers and things) with another disc for the interviews, pilot episodes and maybe some outtakes.
Also, since Km was edited a fair bit, I'm sure there are perfectly valid scenes that were cut to make each programme fit the timeslot (and to free up extra time for later teams). With the time surplus, these could be put back in.
And another thing! The picture quality of the clip from series 1 shown as part of CITVs birthday bash was outstanding. The series must be stored on digital media. This means Anchor Bay wouldn't have to spend lots of money remastering it all.

if you check now, i posted the last message on the forum - marc ot withstanding so he closed it, now i re-opened it, childish games i know, but there ya go

I'd really like to see a history of Broadsword on any DVD release - I always really liked "Virtually Impossible" and "time-Busters" and "Cyberzone" - they were no "knightmare", but at the time, they were interesting programmes.
-
Malefact sir, I had completely forgotton about "Screens up!" I remember, that in addition to the fish (what was its name?), there were a few actors interspersed Knightmare style into the footage (ie in the pinball game). Were any of these people who had appeared in Knightmare? Broadsword do strike me as a company who stick to their favourites (ie David Learner was in "the Satellite Game" before Knightmare; which I have never seen).
-
I don't think there were any ex-Km people in VI. I think that was its undoing!! ;D
I believe, though, that Tim Child would like to have Hugo Myatt and Mark Knight in the new series, although he's having a job trying to track MK down.
I'd love to see ALL the old actors coming back. Some of the old characters could make permanent comebacks (Treguard, Lord Fear, Motley, Sylvester Hands, Hordriss etc.) and the others could make cameo appearances. Heavy on the nostaligia, I know, but I love nostalgia!

Very true.
With this brilliant new technology, there could be all sorts of monsters that move and adapt intelligently to the dungeoneer's actions, as opposed to a bit of filmed footage.
For example, an avatar Ariadne, Catacombite, Scorpian, Snake, plus armies of goblins marching away in the background (the last one would be good for level 3).
-
I've always reckoned that the worst Knightmare special effect was when Ariadne webbed dungeoneers in - it always did look a bit false, even when I was little.
Also, don't forgot the atrocious special effect bolt things that some of the characters used to shoot. Watching Series 3 again and Velda shooting things with completely unbelievable animated missiles made me cringe, although that could also be down to Velda's hideous overacting in parts.
-
The corridor of blades could look fantastic since you could see the dungeoneers from lots of different angles. Mogdred's magic swords and axes could be rendered much more effectively.
I'm sorry I keep posting things, but since I found this forum, I've become a bit addicted to it. I want to shed my Knewbie virginity! I want the full five stars - the Anglia Tv silver spurs! If anyone would ever consider making me some video copies of episodes get in touch - I'd pay them well! I am pretty new to the net and the Knightmare world online so I don't really know who to contact. I sometimes get the feeling when I come on he forum that everyone has copies and is a bit of an expert. My knowledge comes from hazy memories of the series and the excellent clips on this site rejogging them.

Don't be sorry! It's great to hear people's thoughts and opinions!
[edit]
About there being KM "experts": there are certainly people who know a lot. But my personal view is that everyone who posts here has something to contribute. People have different recollections, different sources of information, different talents. Some people are knowledgeable, some analytical, some humorous, some creative. It all works, and the combination of such different people is what makes it a community. And it's a community where all are welcome.
