New Knightmare: contestants
-
For something harking back to my childhood this is making me feel very old. I'm not sure what a 'famous youtuber' is. Is the team made up of piano playing cats?
I suppose the reason for this episode is for these youtubers to gain exposure and to increase views of their material in the future. I just hope they're genuine KM fans and appreciate how lucky they are!
Alan - do you know how long the episode will be?
And when did you find out about it?!

My concern with there only being the one team is that I can’t see there being any genuine peril involved in the game (not until near the end of the 30 mins at least) because obviously they can’t die too soon or they’ll have no show. My guess is that they will want to show of all 3 levels in this one episode and play out the full story. As a result, my only worry is that it will come over overly staged, like a play as opposed to a real game show. Hope I am wrong though.

I know two of them! AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire. AmazingPhil is a YouTube vlogger and danisnotonfire makes these hilarious videos. You should check them out, they're both as funny as hell

I really hope these famous ytbers act in character in the show if I see anyone spell a meme, the keyboard cat, a dungoneer and his team acting like their yt personas then I'm going to be incredibly dissapointed, km live has comedians running it and that's supposed to be more for laughs, this revival better be treated with the utmost respect, I really hope these guys know just how lucky they really are to be on this, I hope they've seen this show before hand and are fans, by all means in the bloopers go mad but in the actual show if it turns into I have to do something because I'm famous on the web then...yeah.
Guess on topic but I entered a rd competition a few years ago do do an impresion of rimmer and it was great but because the likes of mazakox ( a famous yt who's up his own backside and never answers a post even a congrats on winning) really wasn't fair for every other person who wasn't a famout yt had no chance, I know that's not how this is but I thought I'd put that there.
If I ever get famous someday or atleast a bit known I hope I don't turn out like mazakox and some other yt personalities ( I know they're not all bad and hvgn: happy video game nerd, happy console gamer and a few others are great, funny, cool people but it seems the ones who shout louder get the most attention for it (sometimes not for the better too).
I apologise if I sound bitter, like everyone else I'm really passionate about km, just like everyone else here grew up with this, this is their chance to possibly give this a real comeback and too many things I've loved recently have had awful comebacks (konamis rocket knight killed the original rocket knight adventures I'm a massive fan of).
If this one off does succedd I really hope they use normal people afterwards, I understand this was for youtube geek week and it's sponsored by them and with yt personalities for the uninformed of the programme it should help raise a lot of buzz, if this format works and it becomes a series then where do I apply as an advisor or dungeoneer, hell if I got good enough at backgrounds I'd love to show anglia studios that and My fanart as well ofc.

Hey listen, Phil and Dan may be very comedic, but I believe they know when to behave and do something properly As for the other two...well I don't even know who they are, so I can't really say, but I'm sure they'll be sensible. And besides, a little humour won't hurt

Shadow6162: It's nothing personal or anything, Doug Walker who uses a lot of comedy did some serious acting recently in one offs on his channel and some of his reviews & as long as they behave then that's cool, yeah some comedy doesn't hurt when it's keeping in tune I guess what I meant was if it becomes yts brand of comedy (like pewdiepie), it probably wont happen, lord fears speeches always make Me laugh because he reminds Me a lot of Atkinsons blackadder at points (some of his henchman are like percy and baldrick at times and I sometimes picture fear hitting lisard or one of his other henchmen with something when their off screen).
I saw blackadder a few years before km ended and always wondered if Knight was a fan of blackadder since his spyglass scenes and his gloat scene are like something Ben elton would write, that's not a nitpick, I love the similarity that I sometimes see & like blackadder I actually felt sorry for fear at some points (specially the dragon falling on his lair, one minute he's trying to get a dungeoneer off his land then the next minute he's flattened by a dragon).
Lord fear was injured in an accident that wasn't his fault...he should've called injury lawyers when he showed up in series 8, he was injured by treguards dungeooner (indirectly) which wasn't his fault..fear should've got compensation of sent johnny allen after the dungeoneer .

It sounds like they are taking the game sufficiently seriously!

...You weren't one of the 50 to 100 screaming teenage girls that stationed themselves outside the studio to see them, were you?
Hehehe no I wasn't XD In all truth I've only discovered Dan and Phil fairly recently and aren't really devoted to them enough to scream for them XDDD And if I were to scream, it would probably be for the KM actors instead

I'm a big fan of Stuart Ashens (who also does stuff on Doug Walker's site, http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com) but I've never heard of the others. Strange, as most of you lot who have commented seem to be the other way around!

Thanks for that! I've been wanting to know who Emma and Stuart are since I found out they were in this

My word those youtube channels are bad.. think I was better off not knowing who they are. shudder Don't bring KM down to that level, please.
Good to see it getting a lot of press and a warm welcome, pity it's had to be dumped in the environment it has.. but at least it's breathing I guess.
Two weeks and we'll get to see it...
Better have kept the same music!!!
Challenge better NOT move the time slot to an early one, other wise I wont be able to watch anymore Not all of us finish work at 5pm.

Ashens brings nothing down. The man elevates.
HAHHAHAH not from what I saw, but if you like it good for you.
Fact is this wont be a new Knightmare episode, it's an ego trip for these young DIY youtubers, the whole ideal is going to be a bit of a joke I fear and a platform for them do be 'silly' and play for their fans not KM's. I know KM is a little camp, and comedic but this appears to be spoofing itself. Which if successful this will no doubt set the tone for the future. We'll wait and see when it airs, I just hope it's successful for the right reasons.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of & again I really hope this isn't the case, km is about the dungeon and the quest not the dungeoneers and advisors, it's a quest & again I really hope it's treated as such.
-
Yeah we'll just have to see.
You dream of its return for so long and when it might just happen those dreams start to turn into possible nightmares. But I am looking forward to it and it's better than nothing... and who knows.. lets give it the benefit if the doubt.
No expectations no disappointments.
I still want to see Knightmare: the movie
-
Stuart Ashens (who was the only one I knew of before the announcement!) was at least a big fan of the show in its heyday, being about 10-15 years older than the rest of his team so I'm sure he'll do it - ahem - justice, as will Isy Suttie (major KM fan who's worked songs and jokes about the show into her stand-up comedy sets in the past) and of course the original cast, so I'm quietly confident

I didn't see much, if any, of this.
Obviously they're much more confident than a team of 12 year olds and they come across as such. They weren't deadly serious, but then neither were many of the teams in the original run. All in all, they played to win, they didn't do anything stupid and they reacted with fright to many of the rooms and their contents, which tells me that they were taking it seriously enough.

If you're a fan, then by all means tell us why. Simply telling us he's great is not as effective.
