CITV documentary
-
It's encouraging, but I wonder how many of the tweet-seekers are nostalgics, and how many are newcomers curious about the series' history. When considering whether KM has a future, my worry is whether the visuals, always one of the great strengths when the series was current, can really cut it for a modern audience, and whether the gameplay is fast enough.

I understand what your saying. If anything it was positive to see so many people say how much they enjoyed it. I believe Knightmare could be released on DVD. Or hopefully Challenge TV will show it again. Either way, i don't think we will see the last of Knightmare after tomorrow.

It's all a bit up in the air at the moment.
The DVD project ran in to its own problems of not really having enough support and the rights holders not getting back to me. However, with Challenge currently (allegedly) pursuing the rights, there doesn't seem to be any point in pushing things - and I doubt there would be much support if the entirety of Knightmare were to be re-shown on TV.
But then, Challenge have presumably also been stalled while CITV show the two series 7 episodes.
Add to that, the fact that it's never going to be clear whether Challenge have given up or not, and it's all very difficult to tell what the situation is with anyone, except to say that the demand for something clearly still exists.

Perhaps this weekend is the perfect time to start pushing the DVD release idea on Facebook groups and the likes? And Aegis Quest and other media projects?
Couldn't agree more. There may not be a better time or opportunity to do this, especially with the feedback on the social networks after Knightmare was shown. Plus the forum and website itself attracted a record amount of people! I'm sure it will be the same again tomorrow.

As always, I completely approve if people want to do that.

At least they are trying to get it again! I know it can be a slow process and it's frustrating but i believe they will sort a deal out. They know how popular it was when they showed it first time around. Just have to make do with watching the conclusion of Barry's quest tomorrow for the time being!

It is slow progress, but as others have pointed out there's been a surge of interest in Knightmare today. While it may not last it might last long enough for Challenge to push that little bit harder to get the rights. Regardless of what stage things are at it's definitely heading in the right direction.
-
Don't want to sound thick, but what other forums of Knightmare is there? Didn't realise there was more just this one!
Well not specifically KM ones. There's the Surrounds forum I suppose, but I imagine all the users on it will already know all about the sites we're plugging anyway.
I just mean any vaguely-related forums you might be a member of where you reckon there's even half a chance that a few other members will be interested. The worst that can happen is everyone just ignores the post.

Bleedingcoolnews has done a quick mention of the sudden resurgence in attention, along with embedding the recent 25th anniversary retrospective.

This and the Old Skool Weekend have been a lot of fun with many a good selection. I echo KnightmareDave's thoughts that there should have been at least one Rod Hull programme featured too but overall a job well done all round.
