"Why would Knightmare being on BBC2 prevent the show being exported to the US any more than if it were broadcast on BBC1?"
How did you come to this conclusion? I never said anything of the sort.
I said BBC 2 might be the more appropriate than BBC 1, for the reasons that Mystara expressed earlier in the discussion.
It was this paragraph that led me to that conclusion:
I agree it wouldn't sell in the US. But they could have another go at making their version.. thankfully we wouldn't have to watch it.. lol (been watching those Spanish/French versions on youtube... )
I'm maybe reading between the lines here way too much. You mentioned the US making their own version, just after you pointed out the show wouldn't sell in the US - surely if the US were wanting to make a version, given the current era post Doctor Who, wouldn't they prefer the original version, British charm intact?
I got a bit confused, and so considered that you may be saying the BBC can't or won't export BBC2 programming for some reason. That's the only way I can think of where there would be a good marketing opportunity that can't be catered for, though it would be the first I'd heard of this, and considering your response to my post, completely incorrect to begin with

The BBC Three target demographic is 16-34 and I wouldn't want it to lose its appeal to children. That's why I think a family show would be better. BBC Three tries very hard to be young and trendy and I can't really see KM fitting in there unless they made awful changes to the tone of the show!
To be honest I just can't imagine my fav ever tv show on a channel I find largely unwatchable!
I fear that only BBC One would have the money to do the show justice and then only with some commercial funding as well. But perhaps the S9 in my head is unrealistically high budget.

That's why I said BBC 3 because of the age range you mentioned. There would be more potential for Knightmare to fit into the schedule too I think.
It also depends on the target audience the series would aim at. If it were to be a family show, maybe it could be on BBC 1 or 2 but it would have to be on late morning or early afternoon (upto 3 or 4). I can't see it working as an evening programme because I don't think it would fit in with the schedule. Plus I think it would have to be on a Sunday as it could attract a better audience.

I don't agree that online it the best way, In my opinion that would be a step down.
BBC 3 I would think is the least likely, most of the stuff they show seems a bit juvenile. BBC 2 gives us the best of both worlds. Trouble with the family slot on BBC1 we don't want it to be become a Total wipe out type.
It seems ITV or channel 4 being the most realistic. (Dunno about C5, unlikely)
Personally I think if there is a series 9 and it's on tv it will return to ITV, in all honesty I can't see it anywhere else.

I don't really understand that question.
The schedule always changes, the same shows aren't on all year round.
If they want it they will fit it into the schedule, other wise nothing new would air.
What I meant was is the type of programmes they show. Would Knightmare fit in alongside programmes like x factor? No. The point I'm trying to make is I can't see any particular timeslot they could fit it in to. I would love to see Knightmare on ITV more than any other channel but I can't see where they could fit it in.
