This looks amazing! I just found your YouTube channel with the game videos. Are there any plans to return to it in the future? Or make it open source perhaps (so other developers can add to it)?

I'm hooked on this now! I hope they make new episodes!

I just saw this (years too late)! I'm a game developer and wondered if you'd be willing to open source this project? Or team up and build a version for modern VR (or anyone else wanting to build something)? I primarily work in Unreal Engine on 3D games, as blueprints can handle most of the complex logic (I trained as an artist before jumping into level design, then development, and still prefer the visual method). I loved Knightmare as a kid and have waited (unsuccessfully) for it to be rebooted since the 90s! A VR game would work even with Knightmare newbies (I've shown the TV show to my young relatives and they loved it). You don't need to have seen the original to understand the concept of wandering alone through a dark and mysterious dungeon and solving puzzles.

I wonder if the Lords Of The Game pilot will forever remain a convention exclusive or if there might still be any future opportunity to see it. (And the pilot eps of Knightmare, for that matter. Would be cool if Tim could dig them out for the 40th anniversary next year!) I fear it’s unlikely. The pilot was filmed as “not for broadcast” so I imagine that legally it cannot be distributed. We did ask if we could include it on the DVD but although he gave it serious consideration, Tim said nay. I fear the pilots may have the same status

Do you think Peggatty's laughter is Tom Karol? I always think it sounds a lot like Mrs Grimwold. This is something I've wondered about too, and asked for Billy's opinion on via Beg Billy on the Interactive Knightmare website many years ago. I certainly think Peggatty's laughter was done by a man. If it was Tom Karol, I wonder if they'd had it on tape for three years, unused, or if it was newly recorded as an uncredited contribution. I'm not keen on the idea of Tom Karol being called back in just to record a little bit of audio, then sent on his way (even though we know that Tim Child did keep Tom in mind post-Series 3 and worked with him again on the TimeGate pilot in 2002). I do like the idea of Tim deciding to recycle Mrs. Grimwold's laugh for Peggatty, reminiscing about the Grimwolds and that being why Tim included references to the Grimwolds (including a son) in Series 6.

Could Lego Knightmare be returning from its long hiatus?

I had cause to go back through an archive recently for somebody else and it has since occurred to me I may still have the fiction that was published on NKTP, which looking at the list posted was mine, Andrew Buckley's and a handful of Pooka/Ben Maydon files, though I notice Ben's stuff seems to have been repackaged and republished on his own website. As I'm not in contact with Andrew Buckley and haven't been since, well since NKTP was a thing I think as his work was published primarily (but not exclusively) on/for my site, I can make the call on his behalf to repackage that content rather than have everybody suffering looking at broken web pages through the Wayback Machine. As Mr Buckley was the original author he'll retain the copyright obviously and dibs on whether he wants them on show or not. I'll see what I can find.

I recently watched Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Interestingly, Jedi Master Kelleran Beq - the host character in Jedi Temple Challenge, played by Ahmed Best - appears briefly in The Mandalorian. I wonder if there are any other examples of a gameshow character appearing in a full-fiction TV series or film. Imagine if Hugo Myatt appeared as Treguard in a drama!

Wish you could find the old episodes of Time Busters my brother was on it and would love to find that episode again

Anyone who still doesn't know how to win the quest section of The Labyrinths of Fear might be interested to hear my playthrough in the latest episode of Temporal Discussion: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/knightmarepod/ I've included details of the slight variations you can make to the very narrow winning path, but I've always been convinced that Dave Morris didn't really mean the routes to be this limited!

The name of a recently sacked BBC presenter reminds me that Knightmare Series 2 Quest 13 featured a Scot (aka dungeoneer Karen) in the Mills of Doom.

Ah missed this! Only a short journey from where we are in the Medway area!

The volta, or "turn," in poetry is a rhetorical shift in argument, tone, or emotion, which is frequently signaled by transition words, most notably "but"... This shift is particularly prevalent in sonnets, where it serves as a crucial hinge point — often marking the transition... or introducing the final couplet. I don't suppose many children would've thought of this (if it was even intended), either in the studio or at home watching.

Hi it's me again. I'm back with more Knightmare dreams ^^ A few nights ago, I had a dream that four kids were playing an online video game together, sort of a Knightmare co-op game. When suddenly, they were all sucked into their computers and reappeared in the Knightmare dungeons. Rather than appearing in Treguard's castle, they all appeared underneath the Tower of Goth. One of the kids tried to take a piece of food, but Lord Fear appeared and chased all the kids away. So the aim of the game was for the kids to make their way backwards and get back to Knightmare Castle, but anything and anyone could kill them along the way. I think it worked like the Spanish version of the show, i.e. if one child made it back, the whole team would win. Which is just as well because all the kids started dying to traps a little too quickly. An interesting concept though for Knightmare, starting from the end and making your way backwards.

The Knightlife Brewing Company have a Knightmare Calzone eating challenge for anyone who's feeling brave enough - click here for details. Some of you may be interested to know that this brewery is located in Poole, Dorset... Can't say I've ever noticed it despite walking past it multiple times!

Another new Series 1 episode has been added. Slightly bizarre incident in the throne room - nobody ever told them that the only way is onwards, there is no turning back!!
