Ideally, I believe it should eventually have a page of its own on the Infosite, consistent with the CiTV Birthday Bash and The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows...

And thank you to Keith for meeting my shameless demand.

I've missed virtually all of this season of programmes on BBC4 and they looked so interesting

Oh well, sure to be repeated sometime

It's not uncommon for BBC Four programmes to be repeated several months later on BBC Two. I hope this will be the case with the Children's TV On Trial documentaries.

That has yet to happen. However, Children's TV On Trial: The 80s is presently available on BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007m4fq/Childrens_TV_on_Trial_The_1980s/.The 90s episode is also there. Thank you to Billy for prompting this discovery.

Please may I also strongly suggest the following for the next Update, seeing as it will be the 20th anniversary Update, and mention of these significant items hasn't made it onto knightmare.com yet?

The YouTube clip of Michael Cule on Knightmare and The People Versus (mentioned here);

Bolt Action Five's Knightmare-themed single, Tree Friend Tree Foe (mentioned here);

The new Tim Child interview (mentioned here).

Thanks.

I wonder if they put him, head only, in the top corner of the screen as the demonstrations go on around him...

slaps the voice-over guy for his "Wyatt" flub

Do you reckon that the VO guy was on team 7 of season 2, perhaps? I remember when their quest ended, a certain somebody related to this discussion asking them, "How would you like someone to get your name wrong...?"

That would be ironic.

the footage can be found by clicking here. I've encoded it into Flash so it should be accessable to most, whilst possibly making it a little harder for some to web-snatch.

Even though you yourself snatched it from the BBC. Still, thank you for the clip, Keith. And talking of snatching...

My reaction was "WHOA, Hugo lost the beard!"

It sounds like you haven't seen Snatching Time, the short horror film in which a clean-shaven Hugo starred last Hallowe'en. It's on YouTube, and is worth watching.

the stupid announcer said at the beginning of the segment that the show was presented by "Dungeon Master Hugo Wyatt"! Bloody BBC!

I feel partially responsible for this error getting through. When I spoke with the researcher, she made a reference to "Hugo Wyatt", but I felt it would be rude to correct her, assuming I hadn't misheard. I didn't know he'd then be named as such in the programme!

Also, I thought it was ironic that none of the Knightmare clips came from the '80s.

Now that a few people at the BBC have turned their attention to Knightmare, maybe now might be a good time to send a few (polite, naturally) emails or letters to them, encouraging them to consider commissioning a new series.

Personally, I have doubts over how worthwhile that would be. Partly because Tim Child has, in his own words,

abandon[ed] Knightmare to its current position as a piece of Television history;

partly because even if Tim Child has changed his mind, then his own contact with the BBC, during the making of the documentary, will surely have set any wheels turning that need to be turning; partly because it was very pleasing just to have Knightmare remembered by the documentary, and I feel we'd be 'pushing our luck' by asking the BBC to do more; and partly because I agree with Pooka's opinion that

BBC have Raven, now they have a fake Knightmare they don't need a real one.

Those are just my views, however. If anyone does actually go ahead and write to the BBC as suggested, please let the forum know how you fare.

Hugo was also pictured in the Sunday Mirror.

Normally I wouldn't read the 'Red Tops' (I'm more of a Times man)T

Still I heard on the radio thatthey had a 'Where are they now' feature and Hugo was in it.

Fortunately, this fascinating article is available online as well.

Flash appears to be disabled thought the button shows. Anyhow the footage can be found by clicking here. I've encoded it into Flash so it should be accessable to most, whilst possibly making it a little harder for some to web-snatch.

Apologies to Illusion for rather dragging my feet on updating bits for him. Hopefully I'll get it sorted soonish.

Thanks for that. I had recorded the programme but had not yet got round to watching it. It is okay if I link to this clip?

Who's Hugo Wyatt then?! I Googled it and it brought up a reference to him.

Hugo looked younger than his time on the show and in Debz's interview and particularly enjoyed his catchphrase.

I can only assume the 'Wyatt' reference was some sort of in-joke we'll likely never know about.

As for a comeback, sure let's give 'pester power'; it can stimulate interest at the very least.

As Malefact said, if an old show can be dusted off from apparently and complete death, and still be successful in today's society, then Knightmare may still have a chance.

Oh well, sure to be repeated sometime and thanks to the Brollachan for putting up that clip. Hugo Myatt looks so different!

Thanks, Brollachan, for giving those of us without digital a chance to see this.

I loved the 'Oooh Nasty' at the end!

I hope Knightmare gets the recognition it should!
