Another Series is going to be shown on challenge!' and we'd all be wearing little party hats, but considering we're not.....

Well, I'm not wearing a party hat....

Is there anyone out there who is and would like to explain themselves?!

People really really like Takeshi's Castle!

Hmm...maybe I could rewire my street's cable TV boxes to switch over to Challenge at 11.30... Does it matter whether the TV is on or not, because then it could happen when people are asleep!

I started to get somewhat bored with parts of You've Been framed, which I do still watch if it's animals, children or babies they are showing. I tend to find Kirsty's Home videos funnier. They've got yet another Takeshis omnibus this Sunday. Is that a thing that Challenge? are doing every Sunday ?

I cant see them doing repeats of it in 10 years time either....

Anway i'm one of the ones who watch Takeshi's castle after knightmare lol, But yes it's getting boring seen all theses episodes before.

if u think about it, almost all of the ppl who watch KM at 6 will undoubtedly watch on when takeshi comes on at 6:30(its not that bad really). add on to that the Purly takeshi fans who(for whatever insane reason) choose to miss KM and tune in at 6:30 and we see why KM will never make the challenge top 10.

However, if they gave each program only 1 slot on the board with their viewer figures shown as an average of the whole weeks viewing we may see knightmare comming in a close second!

Wud certainly be better than the current format which tells us nothing except how wonderfully popular takeshi is(and this would also be shown under the proposed new format if it got the top slot)

It's alright for those people who get Sky digital, which has it's own tv guide, but how many people didn't catch Knightmare being shown on Challenge? before it was almost too late? Like me. Also how many people who get Sky digital with Challenge? still don't know that it's being shown?

Also I was wandering how many people on average watch Challenge??

Well, according to the latest figures available on the BARB website (official TV audience research), viewers who have access to multi-channel TV watch Challenge on average 11 minutes per week, which gives it an overall 0.7% share of all viewing.

This may not seem very much but it puts Challenge in the top ten of all satellite/cable/digital channels (excluding terrestrial) based on share of viewing in May 2003.

As for actual audience figures for Challenge programmes, these probably range from a few thousand to around 200,000 viewers.

Also I was wandering how many people on average watch Challenge??

i mean if the amount of new sign ups here is any signal (bearing in mind only a tiny % will sign up here but loads will watch) i reckon there's a good chance

KM is of course better, I suspect the ratings will claimb for week two when more people realise it is on.  It deserves a top 10 slot.

Even Fort Boyard which was previously in the top ten in recent weeks (even the 5pm slot) but doesn't feature this time.

I think 6pm is a good slot for a programme like Knightmare... yes some people won't be back from work yet but on the other hand loads of people are e.g. students. TV channels tend to schedule programmes that appeal to both children's and the 'youth' audience in the 6-7pm slot as there are a lot of people in this age group aviailable to watching TV at the time.

Advertising will help yes, but if Knightmare is popular enough than it should be getting a reasonable audience on its own merit. The biggest advert is the schedule - its on at a prime time 6pm slot every weekday.

I keep seeing ads for Takeshis Castle and You Bet but the only time I see an ad for Knightmare is when they show the combined ad. So I don't think they advertise it as much as the others!

We can only hope that they play it too much that people get bored with it then Knightmare will be more popular. I hope that Takeshis castle is one of those short lasting phases that people go through.

I don't know. It's been popular for a fair while now, although that is helped by the fact they advertise it a great deal.

I dont get why Takeshi's Castle is still so popular, yeah I found it hilarious the first few times I watched it but after that it just gets a little boring with the same Japanese people making fools of themselves and getting muddy and hurt in the process.

Plus I cant stand Craig Charles

Knightmare is just soooooooo much better, people just dont have a clue!

I have to agree. It is pretty original and funny when you watch a few episodes, but I got bored very quickly. It's like "You've Been Framed" and shows like that for me- there's only so many times you can laugh at someone falling over or having their crotch bitten by some animal.

I really can't believe there are 4 writers needed to produce the script. I mean, really.
