Whether it's a money issue or something else, we can only guess.</p>

<p dir="auto">Going for Gold is back on now, and while not a bad show, they could of put us on instead, as I really want to see the show back on TV again, but it seems Knightmare won't be featured again, any time soon.  It really is a pity.  Maybe they think no-one would watch ?  I don't know, but it really should of been put back again before now.  Losing hope for a return maybe.</p>
<p dir="auto">I would love to see some hour long broadcasts and double bill showings, but it seems they can't even fit in the show anymore in any capacity.  Maybe I'm just frustrated that they won't, or can't, show it again.</p>

<p dir="auto">It's been almost a year since Challenge said they were trying to acquire the rights to Knightmare.  That gives me the distinct impression that someone is dragging their feet.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's been almost two months since Challenge acquired the rights to Fun House, and stated that they intended to pair it with Knightmare.</p>
<p dir="auto">The rights to Fun House only last a limited period of time, and that time is ticking away.  At a certain point, they'll <em>have</em> to pair Fun House up with something.  If Knightmare is taking longer to acquire than they originally thought, there's every chance that they've changed their plans about what to pair Fun House with, in order to allow them to show it more quickly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Do I think Challenge would announce a change to their plans?  No, for the simple reason that as long as we think that Challenge are going to show Knightmare imminently, we're paying attention to them.  If Challenge were ever to report that the deal has fallen through, we'll go away and stop paying attention to them.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I remain of the opinion that it could be true and they could be right on the verge of acquiring Knightmare and pairing it with Fun House.  But I don't see anything more definitive than I did 12 months ago when they were saying exactly the same thing.</p>

You said "we know" so I thought you had heard something beyond the various updates posted in this thread. I look at their Facebook and Twitter quite frequently so I'm pretty sure they haven't dropped the Knightmare plan in favour of something else. They usually respond quite openly to questions about which shows they are and aren't attempting to acquire.</p>

<p dir="auto">Challenge are constantly acquiring new shows.  Being gameshows, many of them are aimed at children.   If you have a look at their facebook page, you'll see what shows they've purchased recently.</p>

<p dir="auto">So, what are these other children's shows they are trying to acquire? I haven't seen them mention any except Knightmare.</p>

As long as people think there's a possibility of something being shown, Challenge will keep getting attention.

<p dir="auto">I believe if that was the case, Challenge would have said something. I know they will have to show Funhouse at a certain point. But from what I have seen, Challenge are still trying to do a deal for Knightmare.</p>
<p dir="auto">I do believe a deal will be sorted. Fingers crossed!</p>
