Challenge secures rights to Fun House... and Knightmare?

[EvelynMason]

Why is it they can put on rubbish such as Wheel of Fortune or Play your cards right, and Knightmare never gets a screening ?

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.

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.

I don't think it's a lack of enthusiasm on Challenge's part (they were awfully keen on having a children's hour of Fun House & Knightmare); they just seem to be having trouble acquiring the rights. Whether it's a money issue or something else, we can only guess.

I don't think Challenge have given up on acquiring Knightmare, i don't know what stumbling blocks there is but they haven't said they have given up on it. I know how popular it was when it got shown first time around on Challenge TV, and I think there still is an audience for it now.

The demand is definitely there given the poll result amongst other things, and I'm pretty sure Challenge will have picked up on that. I doubt they've given up on it, I just hope a breakthrough comes before their interest wanes.
