I hope SOMETHING happens though!

If not this year, we could do all we can to get a DVD released for the 25th, but after that, would there really be a point anymore.

I really do hope something happens though...

I just wondered if there was any up date on a DVD release of Knightmare?

Or indeed if there was anything happening Knightmare-wise soon?

We've only got two or three weeks untill the 20th anniversary so I just wanted to know if anyone had any info?

• Discussion of ideas for a potential release is fine.

• Specific Tape Trading/Selling is not permitted.

• Visitors looking for videos may contact individual members via Instant Message only.

Gathering different footage together we could produce a box set dvd ourselves using the "pooled footage" of different people. The dvd box sets could then be distributed.

Thoughts anyone?

Who has the tapes for the behind the scenes peices and the outside interviews? The can be no harm in DVD'ing these up, surely?

The dream of a world where DVD copying is entirely legal is a powerful one, and there will always be people who cling to that. Especially in this community, where (as has been pointed out) not all fans own all the episodes, not all fans have seen all the episodes, and some fans don't own any episodes. People want Knightmare, and rightly so! So I say, if people want to dream, let them! After all, though Knightmare may be partly about rules and confines, it is far more concerned with illusion and fantasy.

Just as long as forum members remember, whatever side of the fence they're on (or even if they're sitting on it) regarding DVD copying, that we're all ultimately the same: Knightmare fans who want a firm future for the treasured series.

A dvd recorder would enable footage to be transfered from video onto dvd. Ok it may take a few dvds as each dvd has a maximum (on mine) of 4 hours but that would mean easily that each series could fit onto a couple of dvds.

A release on DVD format would be amazing.

Although having them on tape is amazing, my tape for series 1 is now 18 years old.

While it still plays pretty good, with neither sound nor picture quality degrading that much, the tapes won't last for ever...

But then again, with all those annual DJ Conventions they have and the amount of Red Dwarf fans there are, it can be a popularity issue

And with TC occupied by a new project, it can be the case that he is delaying the DVD release UFN

(Took me a while to get that right)

No. There is always another ready to take up the gauntlet (Or The Helmet...). People Need Heros, But Above This Courage, Determination, And Will. Be Vigilant.

Comes out of psyco-crazy-whooping-monkey mode

Why do we fall? To learn how to pick ourselves up again.

errm.... I hate to say this, but as much as I'd like it to see Knightmare come out on DVD and it would be fab to have all the episodes and special features..... but don't you think if they were gonna do it they'd have done it by now???? I mean, they've had polls presented to them with thousands of signatures supporting the release and still nothing.....

In my opinion if they were gonna release it they would have done it by now... its ashame really and maybe I'm just being pessimistic... buts thats the way I see it....

Episode select could be where the wall's face is

From my understanding, quite a few times petitions for some shows have gotten them on DVD.

plus maybe a Tim Child commentary or something

Heheh, that just made me think...running commentary of the series, just like on the Red Dwarf DVDs! Oh god, I'm sure we could imagine some classic moments...

I thought I caught a rumour somewhere on the website that all 8 series' were going to be released together on one DVD? Either way, a series-by-series run like Red Dwarf would be class.

Basically you guide Dirk the Daring through the castle dungeon and try and rescue the princess. Every few seconds you need to select an option. Don't bother and you'll automatically fail that room. Get the sequence of moves right and move onto the next dungeon.

Yes, i'm telling you, this game plays on any standard DVD Player, you do not need a computer!

Could be the closest you'd get to Knightmare on DVD. Have a look for it on Play.com, it's great little game.

A DVD is every Knightmare Fans Dream at present, its the latest, and it would be good to have a good introduction to the menu like they did with Red Dwarf... See the horse and rider for a brief couple of seconds then it switches to VR going into Castle Dunshelm and coming to a rest in the anti-chamber. With highlighted objects as captions...

Keep you're eyes open on this forum and Knightmare.com its the best places for recent Knightmare knews!

Also, it would be fabulous to have "Knightmare" without any annoying advert breaks and on-screen logo's such as "Bruce's Price Is Right" is next!" etc.

Or any stupid comments from announcers. Anyway as far as I know there hasn't been any knews on the dvd/vhs front as there hasn't been anything mentioned here nor on the main site. Any knews would've and will be posted here and on the main site. I think that Knightmare VR needs to be commisioned first and to do well before a dvd will probably be popular. I believe that if the VR does do well then interests in a dvd set release from companies such as Granada Media will be a lot higher then at the moment. Also I don't think that Knightmare on Challenge has been doing so well the past few months, hence the move from weekdays to weekends.
