        I also watched it when it was screened on Saturday evening (but had limited internet access back then so couldn't post anything).

        However, I just tuned in to the repeat on ITV2, if only to catch the 30-odd seconds for which Knightmare was featured. Nice to hear Hugo say "Enter Stranger" and "Ooooh Nasty" (to this day, I'm still kicking myself for not asking him to say "Enter Stranger" for the 25th anniversary documentary). And as already mentioned, good to see a scope of Series 1 to 8 (although not all eight series) covered during that space of time.

        If anything, its appearance most certainly helped to generate some further interest for Knightmare once more.

          The Guardian's reviewer describes Knightmare as "One of the best kids' shows of all time" and "Easily the highlight of the entire weekend" on CITV.

            "30 Years of CITV" is currently available to view on the ITV Player for anyone who missed it (or just wants to watch it again).

              Cool, will have to watch it again. Will be amazing to watch Knightmare on TV since the last time it was shown on Challenge TV. I hope it can generate a lot of interest and that the whole 8 series can be shown again sooner or later.

                      Lets hope so! This goes to show how popular The Old Skool weekend is proving to be. Already enjoying it and not long to Knightmare now!

                        There was a clip of Hugo Myatt scarily wishing CITV a happy birthday, just before Fun House!

                              I noted #knightmare was the 2nd highest trend for some time this afternoon! Ace stuff.

                                It's encouraging, but I wonder how many of the tweet-seekers are nostalgics, and how many are newcomers curious about the series' history. When considering whether KM has a future, my worry is whether the visuals, always one of the great strengths when the series was current, can really cut it for a modern audience, and whether the gameplay is fast enough.

                                  I understand what your saying. If anything it was positive to see so many people say how much they enjoyed it. I believe Knightmare could be released on DVD. Or hopefully Challenge TV will show it again. Either way, i don't think we will see the last of Knightmare after tomorrow.

                                    Oh indeed not. Those of us making fan projects are making sure of that. It's just a question of how big a following KM gets will affect the chances of official material being re-released.

                                      It's all a bit up in the air at the moment.

                                      The DVD project ran in to its own problems of not really having enough support and the rights holders not getting back to me. However, with Challenge currently (allegedly) pursuing the rights, there doesn't seem to be any point in pushing things - and I doubt there would be much support if the entirety of Knightmare were to be re-shown on TV.

                                      But then, Challenge have presumably also been stalled while CITV show the two series 7 episodes.

                                      Add to that, the fact that it's never going to be clear whether Challenge have given up or not, and it's all very difficult to tell what the situation is with anyone, except to say that the demand for something clearly still exists.

                                        Hopefully the level of interest shown on twitter may lead to good news sooner or later. Until there is official news we can still be optimistic. Thanks for the update Alan.

                                          Perhaps this weekend is the perfect time to start pushing the DVD release idea on Facebook groups and the likes? And Aegis Quest and other media projects?
