Knightmare Convention
-
Any particular reason why it's January or never?
Go for it then, if you can get enough interest.
Only thing that would stop me from going is work.
Same here! Whatever happens though I hope this can happen.
Ditto, it would be mad not to capitalise on the renewed interest in Knightmare in order to push for this to come back to our screens

Hey all,
Long time lurker here (although I only registered recently) and first time poster. Just wanted to say that I'd be extremely interested in this and if theres anything I can do to help at all I'd be up for that. I'm not quite sure about why it has to be January but theres bound to be good reason for it. The stars appear to have aligned for then it would seem.
Perhaps if someone were able to possibly prod Google and ask them for an annotation on the Geek Week video linking to a post about it on the site in order to promote it that'd help?
I think it's imperative something like this happens, especially given the recent timing of things. It may be beneficial in helping to secure funding for a new series of Knightmare by showing the interest in the program.

Wasn't it the Norwich Sci-fi convention where Dr Who and Star Wars fans 'clashed' earlier this year?
Not sure if there's a fandom KM fans would clash with?
Would it be possible to do a Kickstarter so people are effectively buying tickets in advance? Though I suppose we'd need an agenda in place before that.
Chickens and eggs...

Kickstarter is a possibility.
We're trying to work out costs at the moment.

Nope, it was star was event, some who fans were getting autographs.
The Norwich sci-fi convention happens in September, and will be awesome as always. That incident wasn't really an instant just some people having an argument. They way the press spoke it was a war zone, honesty it wasn't. I wont go into details here because it's not appropriate and the issue has been fully resolved.. thankfully their all playing nicely now and raising lots of money for charity (which is what it's all about)
Fun house.. sound about right, or Virtually impossible, they replaced Knightame for that? what was worse it was a broadsword production. ewwwwww
-
I think funhouse is appropriate in view of the near competition in the children's TV poll.
Wombstar, I think you have your facts wrong.. Knightmare was not replaced by virtually impossible.
-
The Internet tells me that "The Mickey Mouse Club" also ended on October 1994.
Did virtually impossible replace that too?
-
I might be wrong but I'm sure that on Youtube whilst watching virtually impossible, someone made a comment saying 'Knightmare got dropped for this?' (meaning virtually impossible). I don't believe that was the case though as Tim mentioned why Knightmare wasn't going to be shown anymore on ITV.
-
No It wasn't the case, But I never said KM was dropped so they could make VI.
Whenever a tv show ends we all look to see that will replace it the next week.
VI i'm certain took it's place, which is what I was referring to.
However, back in 1994 kid didn't know what was going on behind closed doors, we see our fav show vanish and a new one in it's place.
There must have been some uncertainty about KM future because after the series finial they did put the address for new applicants, which is exactly what I did. lol whoops.
What channel was Fun house on?
-
Let me be clearer:
Virtually impossible was not a replacement for Knightmare.
That was not the intention, plan, or effect. Virtually impossible would have happened, regardless of Knightmare's continuation or otherwise.
The fact that it took over the time slot is irrelevant. There is, as far as I have been specifically told, no link.
-
Anyway is there any updates with regards to a Knightmare Convention? I believe there a lot of likes on Facebook so it seems it would be popular and would attract a decent amount of people!
heh. I need to be careful what I say here, because I don't want to let people down if everything collapses.
At the moment, we are proceeding cautiously. We think there are (just about) enough people, we have a few ideas for venues and some guests have confirmed an interest in attending.
The next step is to get a better idea of costs. From there we can work out what we can/cannot afford to do and make bookings.
