Kids' TV Champ - Radio Times vote
-
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.

Good plan. If only Challenge put a card up after the credits saying to visit the website. But I guess such idea would exist only in the realm of dreams.
That's a nice idea. As you say, it's a doubtful thing (even if we asked them to). However, I do remember a card advertising TES after Sunday morning showings of KM when it was on Sci-Fi, so it's not an impossible suggestion...
One of the things I've noticed is that after the (short) article on the Radio Times website, there's a space to add Facebook comments...
The entire thing smells rather strongly of an attempt by the RadioTimes to increase their social media presence.
...and a lot of the comments appear to be from people I don't recognise community-wise (or didn't notice at KnightmareCon), so that would suggest that new people are bring reminded of KM even now. And that's always good.

How about a Merit medal for David? None of this would have been possible if he hadn't drawn our attention to the poll.
Thanks. No one's nominated me.
There's going to be a massive anticlimax if/when we win, isn't there?
There certainly was after reading the Radio Times article. Underwhelming to say the least.
If nothing else, I look forward to mentioning our Radio Times victory the next time I have a trying-to-explain-Knightmare-to-a-young-whippersnapper conversation. I expect it to lead into a trying-to-explain-Radio-Times-to-a-young-whippersnapper conversation. (We're not supposed to call it 'the' Radio Times apparently.)

I thought that's what I was doing... is there an official process that I've forgotten about? I couldn't see anything on the Medals page or forum thread.

The Bristol Post picked up the story. So, er, that's good...
I did flick through yesterday's new print copy of the RT on the off chance it was mentioned, but there was nothing.
