A rare Knightmare advert for CITV.

Christ, this takes me back! I was watching all the trailers in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Knightmare, exactly like I did when I was 10! And I remembered that it always annoyed me how throughout the opening sequence of Woof, the boy (Rex in this case, but it also happened with Eric before him and Jim after him) would retain his clothes whilst swapping backwards and forwards from his dog form, even though he was always naked when he turned back during the course of the actual show!

I used to think exactly the same thing. Even my Mum used to say that if she ever saw the opening Titles.

I scoured YouTube again today and found some more CITV Advert's and Links from Yesteryear.
This first one is from 1989 and it' features Jerry Foulkes and Scally The Dog, scroll to 1.48 to see Neil Buchanan, Gaby Roslin and Tony Gregory from Motormouth, announce that Knightmare is next. (It's actually the final episode of Series 3). The final 20 seconds of the End Credits are also on. The Quality's a bit bad, but it's still watchable.

This one is from 1992, there's the End Credits for Victor and Hugo and then there's a clip of Tommy Boyd announcing that Knightmare is next. Check out the Frightknight Trophy in the Top Right-Hand corner of the screen.

And this last blink and you'll miss one is from the Steve Ryde Era in 1993 and it's for Season 7, scroll to 0.49 to see a brief clip announcing Knightmare for later on in the week.

While I was on YouTube recently I came across this old High Quality Advert for Knightmare, that is not in the "Knightmare on CITV" section of this site. It's promoting Season 7.
It features Lord Fear and Lissard, and it is shot in the style of a Spyglass Scene. I think the Voiceover is Steve Ryde.
The Dialogue for it goes as follows:
Voiceover - (deep voice) Knightmare
Lissard - Ahem...Lordness.
Lord Fear - Yes what is it Lissard.
Lissard - The Kidsies are here.
Lord Fear - What, it's not Friday is it.
Lissard - No!
Lord Fear - Well then, tell them to shove off, Listen you look I'm a very busy man, trying to be a Seriously Nasty Person, I haven't got time, now if you want to take a few lists. Call back Friday CITV at 20 to 5, and I'll see if I can fit you in, until then BEAT IT!!!.
Voiceover - (deep voice) Just you wait.
If you want to see the Advert, go to YouTube and type in "Knightmare CITV" click on the video named "CITV continuity 1993 including Woof! titles" and fast-forward to 2.44.
OMG, this is awesome! Just when I thought I'd never have a new spyglass scene to enjoy! Thanks so much for posting this.

Lord Fear's dialogue almost matches that of Pickle's infamous "Bog Off" of Series 5.... Top work Ben, great finds.
This one is from 1992, there's the End Credits for Victor and Hugo and then there's a clip of Tommy Boyd announcing that Knightmare is next. Check out the Frightknight Trophy in the Top Right-Hand corner of the screen.
You know, at those end credits for Victor and Hugo, whenever they say "The Baddies" it always reminds me of the voice of Lissard....

I hadn't seen this clip before - Knightmare trailer from 1992, followed by Tommy Boyd doing his best Lord Fear impression.

Thanks for this link, great stuff!

Am I the only one who never watched any of theses other shows? I was probably about 10 so kinda stopped watching CITV and the like other then the odd show.
Although is great to see a Beetlejuice poster in the background.
Same here. Don't remember Grotbag's either! I remember programs like Woof and Bad Influence, I thought they were cool!
I loved seeing the adverts, especially the 1 with Lord Fear and Lissard! Also great to see Tommy Boyd doing the links. Brought back great memories!
-
I remember Grotbag being on and Woof.. never watched them.
Don't recall eve seeing Bad Influence however.
I used to watch Conan the Adventurer lol that first aired in 92, so about the same time as theses other shows. but can't remember what channel it was on.
I can't really remember what else I liked back then, I think half the time the tv was just on the background when I got home from school but there was only a few shows I really liked. (Dungeons and dragons, trapdoor were others but they were a bit earlier)
But that Woof think I hated, I've never liked 'kid actors' never. lol
-
I didn't either; mostly because I was 117 when Knightmare started
Uhm...?
Ahem. Anyway. I've posted this elsewhere on this forum (the Cliff Barry thread, to be exact), but I thought I may as well put it here too since it's relevant. A quick trailer showing a montage of CITV shows from 1993, including a little bit of Knightmare, specifically Lissard.
Exhumed from a tape I have of episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures!

Some nice ads in here.
Aside from the obvious KM content, it is nice to see such shows as Victor & Hugo and Woof! pop up in them. Ahh, such ace times, such ace shows.
I loved them as well. Friday nights were great. I wish I'd had to foresight to tape all the Victor & Hugo episodes since the series is so damn' hard to find nowadays. Thankfully, over the years I collected almost all of them. Same goes for Knightmare of course, though thanks to Challenge and Youtube, we can watch them any time. We need DVDs of all these shows!
