It was great, good balance between affection for the show, and irreverent humour/awareness 20 years is a long time ago. There was a surreal and beautiful sub plot where Treaguard is involved in a 90's love triangle with Michaela Strachan from the really wild show, and his nemesis Neil Buchanan from Art Attack. There was also some disturbing sexual confusion between Pickle and Treagard The 3 lead actors very strong.

The dragon scene and clockwork grim reaper were the best iconic bits of Knightmare, along with the original sound effects.

Looking round the auidience, would say age range was late 20s to early 40s, felt like a strange school reunion assembly, but a nice atmosphere.

There was a big twist at the London show, will leave that to anyone doing a proper review.

Also nice to know I'm far from alone in thinking that Pickle is a useless t*t.

I must admit I couldn't help shouting out 'Kill Pickle!' when we saw them in Lincoln, although s/he is very funny in the show

Your camera did alright. There was a guy in front of us in the theatre who must have tried about 10 times to get a photo of the helmet before the start but each time his camera couldn't cope with the difference in light and just produced a washed out or blurred photo each time

I didn't bother getting my pic taken with the helmet. The queue was huge, and in any case, I tried wearing the original many years ago, and even that wasn't quite as thrilling an experience as I thought it would be. A copy was never going to be that appealing. Oh well.

A lot of material was recycled between the two shows which was a slight disappointment. In particular:

The shop room

The wall demon room

The sleeping goblin room - with the same spell used to save them

Facing death

The dragon with no name - I was tempted to shout out that it had no name but someone beat me to it with the very good answer of Bal Shebar. Last time the dungeoneer blurted out Smirkenorf

The room of blades

The only real new material was the time travel sub plot and Pickle (although Pickle was a real highlight. He kept cracking me up with his mannerisms and randomness even when there was other stuff going on)

I also managed to get my picture taken in the helmet this time something I couldn't do the first time as we had to dash for the train whereas we stayed over this time to avoid that problem

Also nice to know I'm far from alone in thinking that Pickle is a useless t*t.
