Kids' TV Champ - Radio Times vote
-
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?

I'd offer to do a write-up, but I need to put the finishing touches to the latest audio play. I've been putting that off for over half-an-hour as it is.
Oh, I've realised what a geek I really am. I'm 40 years old in about seven months, and I actually caught myself dancing my way between rooms of my flat just now, all because of this. Sheesh, that's sad...

Since the Radio Times article might bring a few new visitors to Knightmare.com and/or the Facebook page, may I suggest posting a reminder that KM repeats are currently airing on Challenge? Might help to give their ratings a boost.

Sure, go for it

Sounds like a good idea to me, I'm sure Challenge will appreciate the potential extra viewing figures as well - especially if they're looking to acquire further series as they've recently claimed.... I'll make sure a post on this has been done on the Facebook page by tomorrow morning.

Going back to round 3 - this wasn't the first time KM came up against Duck Tales. This was back in Sep 1987 when they rubbed shoulders in the ITV Monday afternoon schedule!
A personal KM/Duck Tales memory: when CITV ran their 'design a room' competition, my own effort was inspired by an episode of the cartoon which included a scene where columns came crashing down onto flagstones, threatening to squash those below. I didn't win

Now done.

Dang. I was hoping we'd get to see the previous posts break our record of 100,000 views. They were prime candidates

Interestingly, I notice that the Sooty crowd are now somewhat subdued.
They were predicting doom and gloom for us against smtv.
