    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.

              I kinda prefer this setup. My father always takes over the TV at 7:30, so to have it on at 8am suites me very well as I can see it as I return from work!

                Still it does mean having to wake up early in the morning - well early by my standards.

                    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.

                      They should release the DVD That's probably better than waiting for the weekends to see it on Challenge.

                        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.

                        http://www.challenge.co.uk/tv/listings.html

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

                          If a series of Knightmare is hard to pay for broadcast, then imagine a whole one series on a DVD, it would be too deer!

                          Probably in the region of £100 - £150

                          If it was released on DVD, Challenge would probably quit viewing Knightmare...

                            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!

                                I can reveal what happened from the 29th April 04 showing...

                                (SPOILER)They cut the whole 17 seconds out(/SPOILER)

                                  Not if it were released for public sale. This would roughly cost the same as any other DVD

                                    Thanks, BillyH! Although I did remember that they had done that, I was hoping they wouldn't do it again.

                                      If they'd release KM on DVD it would have to be official and at a very reasonable price, I'd say £29.99 a series, that would mean a whole KM collection would add up to at least £240...

                                        Well - I'd pay it. Not that I would enjoy paying back whoever I choose to borrow the money from ( Billy you know that favour you owe me)... but just think - if it were to happen, it would be the only chance* we have ever had of owning all 8 seasons, in perfect quality.

                                        *When I say only chance, I really mean only legal chance when you include illegal sales that have been tried out on eBay in the past and closed down
