Knightmare on BBC Four

[Drassil]

I'm a bit surprised that Children's TV On Trial hasn't been mentioned on knightmare.com yet, either in the Knews Section or within an Update. I think it deserves to be, as it is arguably the KM news event of 2007. Ideally, I believe it should eventually have a page of its own on the Infosite, consistent with the CiTV Birthday Bash and The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows, programmes which also showcased KM clips and discussion - but I know that that would take time, and appreciate that you may not have enough spare at the moment, Illusion.

Please may I also strongly suggest the following for the next Update, seeing as it will be the 20th anniversary Update, and mention of these significant items hasn't made it onto knightmare.com yet?

The YouTube clip of Michael Cule on Knightmare and The People Versus (mentioned here);

Bolt Action Five's Knightmare-themed single, Tree Friend Tree Foe (mentioned here);

The new Tim Child interview (mentioned here).

Thanks.

Thanks. These will all be mentioned in the next update. I bookmark things I want to include in an update, but forgot to do these in the last update.

Fab footage - Nice to see the ol' Dungeon Master's still got the nastiness...

i love charlie brookers screenwipe its gret nie to see a bit of knightmare and hes right they were burnt alive

[Eyeshield]

I love Charlie Brooker because he sits there swearing at his telly because the programmes are all so bad, just like I do sometimes, except the BBC pays him to make a show about it. The man's a genius! His show is very eye-opening too.

It would have been great if he did a show entirely on Knightmare. Seeing him effing and blinding at Lord Fear, Romana etc.

[Eyeshield]

Ha-ha, yeah, I'd like to see him commentating on that first episode of series 8, which was the one he had the clips from. "Oh, why don't you pick up the fing knife and the bird st like the f*ing scroll says, you tt!" That's what I always yell at the screen!

I've missed virtually all of this season of programmes on BBC4 and they looked so interesting

Oh well, sure to be repeated sometime

It's not uncommon for BBC Four programmes to be repeated several months later on BBC Two. I hope this will be the case with the Children's TV On Trial documentaries.

That has yet to happen. However, Children's TV On Trial: The 80s is presently available on BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007m4fq/Childrens_TV_on_Trial_The_1980s/.The 90s episode is also there. Thank you to Billy for prompting this discovery.

Just thought I'd mention that the Knightmare footage on "Children's TV On Trial" is currently available on Youtube should anyone like to see it once more:

I didn't realise the whole episode (and indeed series) was on YouTube. Though to watch the Knightmare segment, and indeed to download it, one need go no further than the website we are on.

Ideally, I believe it should eventually have a page of its own on the Infosite, consistent with the CiTV Birthday Bash and The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows...

And thank you to Keith for meeting my shameless demand.
