Just so you know...

Do people here think Knightmare will get another run on Challenge after the next showing of series 8? After all, series 1 + 2 have only been shown the once so far.
There's no reason why it can't become a Challenge favourite - continuously repeated - like The Crystal Maze.

Here's what JamesP said:
Just a heads-up for you Knightmare fans...
From the 4th September, Knightmare will move from weekdays to weekends (probably around 8am on Sat and Sun, with a repeat around 1:30am) This is regrettable, but it just isn't doing the numbers we need it to during the week, plus it's restricting what we can schedule around it.
It's not all bad news though, as the weekend showings will be double-bills on both days! That's two eps on Sat, two eps on Sun. So instead of 5 episodes per week, you'll be getting four over a weekend.
I just hope that it's going to be shown at 6 or 7pm and not 8am. I mean who's up at that time during the weekend, the two days most people sleep in.
-
Sorry to hear Knightmare isn't getting the viewers it deserves, hopefully this will pick up otherwise it's future on Challenge may be indoubt, other good shows on Challenge have gone presumably for similar reasons.
And I don't think making it an early morning show will mean that the figures will pick up.
Still, even if our Challenge adventure is heading for a close at least Knightmare has had a reshowing.
-
This is a shame. I hope the show doesn't fizzle out. Series of Km are expensive, so it's even more important that they do well in order to justify the cost. If Km isn't performing as well as hoped then it doesn't look promising. This is the very last thing that we need, especially given that a new series is up for grabs.
-
I doubt Challenge will take KM off the air altogether after this run. James P said that it didn't get enough viewers for a prime-time slot - which doesn't mean to say it was doing terribly.
Besides, Challenge have made an investment in KM by buying rights to all 8 series. It wouldn't be economical to drop it now, surely.
-
Speaking of schedule, on the Sky Digital program browser thingy it says that KM isn't on next Monday. It looks like a "Millionaire" day (great if you like Millionaire, but even then you probably wouldn't want to watch it all day.)
I can't view the days after this and I wanted to know if this is just for that Monday or if it's a special "one off" week on Challenge or something. I'm going on holiday so need to set my video timer for KM

Two things, firstly if I'm correct series 3 ends Friday and second I may be wrong looks for diary but isn't next Monday a bank holiday for being the first Monday in August? Checks diary Ooh no it says public holiday in Scotland and Ireland, so I must be wrong then! Does that mean then that series 4 starts next Tuesday then.
-
Famously last words but looking at Challenge's TV listings on their website it says that there is Classic Millionnaire on Monday evening and no KM repeat on Tuesday morning. However on Tuesday evening KM is scheduled for 7:30pm.
-
I know it's mentioned elsewhere but as of this weekend Knightmare is only being shown at the weekend.
The times are as follows:
Saturday: 8 - 9:00am (these episodes repeated Sunday 1:30 - 2:30am)
Sunday: 8 - 9:00am (these episodes repeated Monday 1:15 - 2:15am)
Remember 2 episodes are shown on each day, so if you miss a weekend of Knightmare you will have missed a lot.
-
Still it does mean having to wake up early in the morning - well early by my standards.
-
Enjoy the week of nine episodes while it lasts...
-
8:00am is pretty early, I've started to break myself into it already I've heard of "early morning repeats" as in 1am, but I consider that late- this new schedule really is an early morning!
I shall miss the 19:30 rushes to my TV, and then watching Knightmare with a bottle of Yazoo, slumped in a giant beanbag. If I'm really desperate I could tape the four episodes on my miniDV camera (will that be better quality than VHS?) and watch one each day from Monday-Thursday. Depending on my new college timetable I might be able to stay up late for the late-night am repeats.
-
According to Challenges listings, there is no Knightmare on this Saturday and no late knight repeat (the only Saturday I don't have to go out that early). I think it's a stunt day. Sunday's double bill is still on.

You still might want to tune in at about 8am or just before incase they made a mistake/the listings are wrong.

Ahh no! was looking at staying up slightly later tonight, as I don't have to work (I believe) tomorrow nor the rest of this week. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I looked at the Sky digiguide (correct them if they're wrong) and lo and behold 2.30 tomorrow morning
. Now staying up a little late (until 2.30am or so) is pushing it slightly, but staying up until about quater to four in the morning is going a bit far, unless of course you're a night (oh sorry that should be knight) owl. Anyway I think at 3.00 I'll be long away snoring, so staying up til 3.30 will not advantage me in any way, unless I want to try the old toothpick trick, which I doubt will work. -
Challenge had changed the times of last nights episodes as well hadn't they?
I was very unhappy when I played what i had taped to discover 20 minutes of missing footage.If I'm correct, these episodes should be 13 and 14 right? So we will discover if Challenge have been boring, creative or surprising with regards to the scroll at the end of ep. 14.
Yay, and that means series 7 next saturday!! I like series 7!
