Why do people keep comparing Timegate to Knightmare? There never will be another TV show that can rival Knightmare - it just can't happen.

That trailer looked quite amazing. Is contented

In other words - please don't be quite so negative in furture if you haven't read all the background to something. Just because something has nearly all positive comments it doesn't mean it needs a negative one too. Thank you!  

Try to look at it objectively, it may not be Knightmare, but you have to admit that the CGI is good.

Ooh, the possibilities...

Yes, I know they'll be able to see this time, but I like the image. I wonder how much (if at all) the teams prepared for the original Knightmare. I guess from watching them, you'd have to conclude that some had worked out pretty decent systems to guide their dungeoneer whereas some, well, um, at least they managed to get him/her to the studios.

i am happy.

my sister is 12... im going to be pushing her to be in the early series seen as i am now too old.  she can be trained im sure.

it mightnt work, but at least its getting a chance.

Tim Child invented the Knightmare spirit, so I'm sure he wouldn't lose it. Although it's quite possible this won't happen and it won't work out and we'll all be disappointed - imagine if it does!

I wonder if I could get my kid sister on?

I don't think we have any right or reason to tell Tim Child how to run his creation though.

But - YAY!

I don't think you'll entice Fear back to the UK.

They're still looking for him.....

There was onkly so much you could do with the old KM format, and it was done for 8 seasons, and done to it's best (for it's time).  Now that times have moved on, so has the show.

Tim Child seems to reckon it will appeal to us (don't forget, he is working FOR us, he knows what fans want to see).

I'd like to see Treguard, but perhaps as some kind of dungeon follower, meaning not sat in an ante chamber.

I have contacted Mark Knight and he will probably get onto Cliff Barry about it.

I don't know why (well I may do but...), but I reckon series 9 will be even better than the best (series 3 imho) of the original series, as long as they keep just enough of the original KM in there to keep the old-timers (like us ) interested, and I reckon Tim Child has us in mind....

But it could be better....

Sounds like they have some good ideas already.

The music! They have to keep the theme tune! Who owns its copyright?

Please have advisors though! Or even two dungeoneers and two advisors.....that would be really good! We just need to think, what would have made Knightmare better at the time wihtout ruining it...

Won't happen anyway? - perhaps not. No promises.

Not the same thing?  - Of course it's not going to be exactly the same as Knightmare when you were small. What sort of clodbrain would expect it to be? But it could be better....

TimeGate: - don't confuse Knightmare Live with TimeGate. The former is a far more complex and adult-orientated adventure.

The demo is just over 2 meg. To retrieve RIGHT click on file timeclip.wrmv, and 'save target as', which will stop it auto opening and streaming. Playback on a powerful modern PC for best results. And be very, very afraid. This facility will be active from 10.00 a.m. on November 28th. *

The more complex interactive drama/soap elements , confined in a greater fantasy world have moved into TimeGate. This youth/adult show will be an hour long and will be eventaully accompanied by an MMORG - Massive On Line Role Playing game version on Home computer, after the fashion of Ultima or Asheron's call.

The re format of Knightmare involves simplifying the game both graphically and content wise, in which form it will be far closer to the early TV series of say Series3/4. That is because it will be designed to be played as a LIVE EVENT. There will still be encounters, but the dungeoneer will compete in the dungeon as an avatar and will be able to see and speak. As with TimeGate, there will probably be only one adviser to watch their backs.

The reason why we are planning to play Live is because there is a huge demand for audience access and influence through the introduction of digital interactive services. The RAP system will also generate additional camera views of the dungeon which viewers on digital channels may wish to access.

Currently the proposal is to play the Live game in two 10-12 minute segments in a larger childrens' programming strand, seperate by say 30 minutes of another show or strand element. This will allow elements such as Text messaging and polling to kick in, so viewers can influence the narrative and perhaps even the environments for the next session.*

As I said yesterday, we ARE Knightmare at the moment. We are keeping it alive. Don't for one moment try to claim that our petition didn't influence Tim Child's decision to try to bring it back. We can have a huge influence on it!

Corridor of Blades is just a small point! We can design a blueprint for the entire show and leave the technicalities to them! Who else is going to design it for them? Sure, they'll make changes but we can influence their decisions.

So, I propose that we make plans for the new show, and then put it in a nice booklet and send it off to them. They will thank us, not be annoyed by us! Whose with me?

Imagine the Corridor of Blades in this new show - the dungeoneer would actually be decapitated!

Rocks Out

Now that the "BBK" campaign might not be needed any more, we should focus on the "Include the corridor of blades in the new series" campaign/petition instead. Agree?
