Happy Birthday Knightmare!
Congratulations Tim Child for creating such a wonderful programme, and well done to all the cast, crew, and of course Dungeoneers and Advisors.
Well done, to you all, and of course to all us fans who have helped keep Knightmare so popular, and such a classic.
Knightmare still remains my favourite ever Children's ITV programme, and I solely credit Knightmare for sparking my great passion for Dark Age and Medieval history, as well as my love for anything Arthurian.
Happy Birthday Knigtmare.
Now Knightmare, what would you like for your 21st Birthday?
A nice DVD release perhaps...?

Hear, hear! Let us all put our feet up stick on a tape, have a pint, pot noodle and watch Knightmare who is 20 today... Lots of love from your fans and your daddy Tim...!
Going into CBeebies mode there, ahem!
Next is its Silver Anniversary (25th) and that'll be something special indeed!

Knightmare is the greatest children's gameshow ever created. The second it launched it changed millions of people's lives forever. Where there was previously no hope, there was now Treguard. Where there was previously no meaning, there was now Monday afternoons at 4:45.
This was the first internet community I ever joined. When I first started posting in the summer of 2000, it had only started 13 years ago - now it ended 13 years ago. Over the last two decades, both while the show was on and off screen, Knightmare has enlightened the lives of so much of this country (and beyond) and even new fans who don't remember the show first time around, or weren't even born when it ended, have found it through the Challenge repeats. It's amazing that a TV show can bring so many people together, but that's the power of Knightmare.
Very very happy birthday, Knightmare, and here's to the next 20 years! I was planning a huge party in the chatroom tonight but it's not worked in over a month, so ah well!

I would like to use my 100th post under this alias to say:
I WILLFOREVER LIKEKNIGHTMARE.
I've also collaborated a visual together to mark this occasion:

I haven't been around for a while, what with the new job and all that - which isn't even all that new. But still, having been alerted to this momentous occasion by the all-knowing oracle (not of confusion) that is Livejournal...

jangly spell noise

Twenty years ago today, a spur-of-the-moment decision not to turn off the TV after the adverts (which I used to enjoy watching) changed my life forever - I've been totally obsessed with Knightmare ever since! It's so great that the show still has so many fans, who are all still obsessed with it too, and I'm especially pleased that there's still plenty of life left in The Eye Shield yet!

Happy Birthday to Knightmare, and hopefully many more years of discussion here!

Merry Christma... I mean, Happy Birthday to Knightmare. And to the Knightmare fan, also born on this day in 1987.
It so happens that none of this forum's members has a birthday today. It's almost as if we've kept the day clear as a mark of respect. So here, for Knightmare, is the forum's birthday cake. (It's not an external image, but if it poses a problem, I'm happy to remove it myself upon request).
