CITV documentary

The Series 7 episodes of Knightmare that were transmitted over the weekend are now available to watch on the ITV Player:

Perhaps people are less bothered by Pat Sharp's haircut than they are by Hugo Myatt's shave.
There was a clip of Hugo Myatt scarily wishing CITV a happy birthday, just before Fun House!
Hugo's birthday message appeared far fewer times than many of the others, but did have the distinction of being the last to be shown before the Old Skool Weekend drew to a close.
I was pleasantly surprised that CITV kept credit squashing to a minimum. Where the Knightmare episodes are concerned, Series 7 does not have high nostalgia value for me; but Knightmare is Knightmare, and I will admit to a racing of the heart as I sat there on Saturday, watching the S6-8 opening sequence as it was being broadcast for the first time since 1994, and possibly for the penultimate time. Barry and co have reminded us that while many may seek, to win takes heart.
As for the Old Skool weekend as a whole, I will simply say that my TV did not have a barrier of anti-magic in front of it.
Just looking back at the last sentence of my second paragraph. Seek... win... heart. Seek win heart. Did I just say... oh no. No. I er... do excuse me. I feel a little unwell and am going to find a troll to hide under.

Do have to admit I did like funhouse, was good watching it as well as the Sooty show and Childrens Ward. It's a shame CITV didn't show an episode from series 3 but I can see why they showed the last 2 episodes of series 7. Wonder if Barry, his brother or the rest of his team watched the episodes?

The CITV Old Skool Weekend was a real treat, it was worth it just to see KM back on TV. Definitely one of the most feel-good weekends of Television ever, it brought back so many memories.
Before the years up, I'd like to think that CITV could do this one more time. This time with the shows that were left out from January. I'm talking about Zzzap!, Out of Sight, Harry's Mad, Bernard's Watch, Wizadora (with Wendy van der Plank), Wolf It, Virtually Impossible, ReBoot etc. They should show some KM episodes from the 80's (preferably Series 3) this time. Somebody should start a petition.

Ahead of the Old Skool Weekend, I would like to make some small updates to my '30 Years Of CITV' article on the website, but I've been unable to get into it for a week and a half. Please, Powers That Be, may I have access to it?
Four months on and I still cannot edit my article. Again, please may I be allowed access to it, if only to correct the typos?

I'm not entirely sure who you're addressing - can you clarify?
Better yet, I would suggest making the request directly to the person concerned rather than publicly, as a PS, in a forum, on a topic that is completely unrelated, where you have no guarantee at all that the relevant person will even see your request, let alone remember to act on it.

The episodes are series 7, episodes 14-15.
CITV schedule coordinator and self-confessed "gameshow geek" David Cooper picked the episodes to be shown! Very good choices, IMHO, with all the key elements of Knightmare - clue objects, spells and potions, riddles, spying on Lord Fear, various character interactions, the two scariest physical challenges (Corridor of Blades and Trial By Spikes), a truly great team and the most exciting series finale.
Sad to read that David Cooper, who selected the Knightmare episodes for CITV's Old Skool Weekend, has died suddenly.
