The Series 8 ending was disappointing. Dunstan and company finished with half an episode remaining leaving hardly any time for a "proper" ending.
It was due to Virtually Impossible starting the eighth series was shorter. After 5 minutes of VI I was bored.

Even though Series 8 was the only one i saw i cant remember it, being so long ago and all...
It seems to me like a bad ending to something great

I think the particular wording is:
"When the time turns one more, and the fire burns as more, and the gauntlet is held down, then, will the age of Knightmare be found." [Tregaurd - End of Series 3]
OR
"Well you lot, are you going to let him scare you off, or are some of you brave enough to pick up the gauntlet?"
"We'll be waiting for your answer, don't keep us waiting too long, will you?" [Tregaurd - End of Series 5]
OR
"Hmm, he means it you know. The comforting thing is, that whenever the loud challenge rings out, wherever the bully hurls his abuse, there are always a few quiet moments prepared to simply stoop, and pick up the gauntlet. And it will be thrown down again, you can count on that." [Tregaurd - End of Series 6]

Ah, but yes - Series 8 was a bad ending to something great. It's a shame really, because the series itself had some wonderful features incorporated, and yet when many people, including myself, speak relatively ill of it, it's partly because of that ending, and partly because it's such a real big disappointment on what could have been great. When you've watched series 6 and 7, in my op, better by fr than 4 or 5, you can allow yourself a certain air of anticipation and expectation for a brilliant series 8 - and it became a little bit of a let down.
What I did like, was the instant 'difficulty' assumption that became of it. The first team falling at the end of level one seemed a long past tradition, and it did look like a rather harsh way around things at first. Then, we saw the traditional palace of Goth now as level 2. Given how scary and difficult this proved to be in S7, it's quite something, considering relative difficulty levels, to have that sort of challenge 'relegated' to level 2, and expect something more difficult to follow as well!
Saying that, I don't see the harm in difficulty, and the one thing that I did like about S8 was the depth of Level 3; Linghorm and Marblehead - split into a level 3 'a' and level 3 'b' as it were. Also, I felt that it got a little bit out of proportion when the 'reach' wand appeared. Yes, it was used quite well at times (argh - exposing short-cuts) but along with the eye-shield, it was another aid, and started to complicate things a tad. I won't say anything about the ending, since I've already whinged about that, but it was a tremendous let down, and the big pity was that KM was to end like that - it didn't have a chance to rectify that blemish ~ such a shame

I think it would have been really great if Series 8 finished on a winning quest, but then again at the end of that series they advertised for contestants for Series 9 (which of course, sadly never happened) so to be fair, the production team wasn't sure on how to finish Series 8, even if it was a tad sudden.

Yeah we tryed to get on after season 8 and got a letter back saying after 8 years we have brought the show to a close.. i wasn't the happy for many reasons.. we could have been in the line of winners LOL. atleast we knew are left and right lol.
But The reach wand..Bah. Hated that.. took Soooo long.
Nice idea bit didn't have to used quite as much as it was. But can't help but wonder what a season 9 would have looked like.. maybe taking it off the year gave it alittle pride.. was did start to become a little silly and after its long break off the air its time to bring it back with new and fresh idea without forgetting what made it in the 1st place. can't wate to see how this live thing un folds.

The End Of Season 8 Should Of Been More Complex
And Also Series 8 Should Of Been About 14 Episodes Long
And They Should Of Keeped The Costumes From Season 6-7
And Also Have Some Of The Old Chracters Like Mogdred Making A Return To Be Lord Fear's 2nd In Command Because He Can Help Kill The Dungeoneers Off That Would Of Been Great
