Kids' TV Champ - Radio Times vote
-
Well done team, we’ve won!
I thought that would never end! Thanks to everyone who voted - a wonderful community spirit gets what it deserves.
To think the Teletubbies nearly killed us in round 1 – thanks to David for bringing this vote to our attention.
Having spent most of my free time over the last fortnight voting in this poll this is a real feel-good moment - vindication
Though I suspect I’m now going to have some kind of post-exam comedown!

Yeeeeeessss, it's official! Can't believe we beat Ant & Dec! Have the armchair adventurers finally earned their spurs?
Round 1: Time for Tubby bye-bye!
Round 2: Chip & Fail
Round 3: Duck off
Round 4: Shaun the Sheepish
QFs: That's all folks
SFs: Sooty swept away
Final: SM:TV dead!
We are the mighty Knighties!!!
How about a Merit medal for David? None of this would have been possible if he hadn't drawn our attention to the poll.

Heh, the announcement on Facebook is one of the fastest growing messages I have ever seen

I wonder if they have tried to hide the result so as to do a "big reveal" of the final result. If so, we have rather stolen their thunder

I'll try a bit harder. Cue theme music...
A vote has been in progress, so here's a progress report; -
Knightmare has faced the test,
To prove itself to be the best.
Faced rival shows from far and wide,
Knightmare it seemed would not be denied.
Beating puppets and cartoon foes,
It was soon one of just two shows.
SMTV its final threat,
Or so we thought, but in fact, no sweat.
Quick from the blocks from moment one,
Knightmare had it seemingly won.
Right from the first few hours fought,
SMTV in its wake was caught.
One brief fightback narrowed the chase,
But never did SMTV get near to first place,
As Knightmare's share was seventy or more
For most the time they were keeping score.
And so Knightmare, with over eighty per cent,
Has the prize on which its fans were bent.
Victory decided, no further contest,
Knightmare - the Kids Show that is the best.
And now time turns,
The fire burns,
The polling is gone,
The time for a good, Lord-Fear-style gloat is ON....

Thank you, Annie.
Heh, love the way the website says there were 18,000 votes. I get the feeling there may have been somewhat fewer actual voters.
Halo-head
Indeed.
The entire thing smells rather strongly of an attempt by the RadioTimes to increase their social media presence. The fact that the final article actually says very little about Knightmare indicates the piss poor level of research that they subsequently carried out (i.e. very little, because the actual winner doesn't matter to them).
Ah well, the title is indeed a weighty one and might have some future value. Who wants to write up an article for the main site?
