Unintended Knightmare references on TV: game shows
-
This year, I'm A Celebrity is foregoing its usual setting in Australia and will take place at a castle. Gwrych Castle to be precise. Here's hoping for lots of Knightmare references from ITV, ideally intentional references.
Although Gwrych Castle wasn't a Knightmare filming location, hosts Ant and Dec reportedly "pitched a lot of castles", so perhaps one of Knightmare's was considered.
In one of this year's challenges, one celebrity (Giovanna Fletcher, eventual winner) was blindfolded by a visored helmet while another celebrity (Shane Richie) gave her directions. The aim was for her to break dragon piñatas with a sword.
Vernon Kay, another of this year's I'm A Celebrity contestants, is vaguely associated with Knightmare in that he referred to it as narrator of the 30 Years of CITV documentary in 2012.

On QI there's a klaxon they use whenever someone gives an answer that is obvious and wrong. I find this sound effect disconcerting because it reminds me strongly of the bugle blasts that heralded the end of Knightmare Series 3.
