Convention DVDs?
-
Knightmare may be a distant memory for some but it reamins deep in my psyche and friendships sprung out from out of it have remained ever since. Helen and Max, thankyou both also for entering fully into the spirit of things and I hope your birthday was as enjoyable as deserved.
No, thank you! You made an amazing job of the late night show, very well organised and really funny to watch back, your bumbling 'acting' was totally convincing
We thoroughly enjoyed getting dressed up and involved, and best of all, Max is now a convert and surprised himself by loving it too

Do people ever sell tapes/DVD's of it on ebay or other auction sites?
In short...Yes, but it is ILLEGAL.
Matt ... has now the further distinction to add of being the producer of the first ever LEGAL Knightmare dvd.
And thus the cosmic Caps Lock balance was restored.
Your post is a delight to read, Robin. In a personal sense, it was impeccably timed, with this month marking a decade exactly since we met. Thank you too.
Hugo was a delight sharing a wealth of experience on a 1 to 1 level with his wife helping to occasionally fill in any gaps or additional information.
Treguard's antechamber could be regarded as the Dungeon's one-to-one level. For those who don't know, Hugo's partner Jackie Vance (whose name coincidentally resembles that of Jack Vance, one of the authors who inspired Tim Child) worked on Red Dwarf X. There was a moment during the convention when she approached Cliff Barry to chat to him about his appearance in Red Dwarf VIII, having just learned of it from one of the attendees. It was a pleasing example of a fan 'giving something back', and tapped into the essence of the event.
My own small role in Late Night With Lord Fear was completely unrehearsed and ad-libbed, which I hope explains its clumsy mediocrity. Although I muted it out of embarrassment when watching the DVD, I was glad during the show itself that I managed some form of coherent improv'. I thank the real performers in the room for justly eclipsing it.
Behind-the-scenes fact: Mark Knight didn't put on (silver) nail varnish until after the chat show.

Ugh, this isn't going to make me popular but...
He has now the further distinction to add of being the producer of the first ever LEGAL Knightmare dvd.
Legally, Matt is the editor and one of the cameramen, Knightmare Conventions Ltd is the producer and I, as the talk moderator, am the director.
(I say this only because that's the legal situation, because I'm legally obliged to assert the rights of the company, and because to not do so could construe an acknowledgement that we have abandoned our rights to the content).
In any event, many thanks to Matt who put in the work of cutting together the footage and cutting down numerous Q&A sessions into a set of highlights that would fit on the DVD. The finished videos are very professional looking, which is only to be expected given Matt's level of skill and professionalism in video editing!

p.s the Cup that Heals is really gathering mildew in Epic studios in a long forgotten cupboard which explains why nobody can still win the bally thing after all these years!
Actually there are, ahem, two cups that heal, which makes it all the more surprising that nobody has managed to win one of them
However, I was wondering where the second one was. I thought Mark had taken it with him!
-
It's not the real cup
-
Are there still any dvds available to buy of km convention or did you need aperk?, I'd really like to buy one.
-
I don't know whether you made a contribution or not but after all the running around you did spreading the word, I would have thought, at the least you deserve a dvd!
I would love to buy one if there are any spare one's going. It would be a shame for the people who wanted to go but couldn't, to buy the dvd themselves to see what it was like.
-
There are DVDs left.
They will be made available at some point.
-
That's definitely great news about the dvds , I'll definitely buy one as soon as they're available.
-
Following this for news - might have to jump aboard the DVD train as I missed two Q+As and a few other bits due to RL commitments over the weekend.
Will just have to fast forward through the bits where I ask questions as I still can't stand recordings of myself shudder
-
Unfortunately not.
Rights issues prevent the sale of either LOTG or the Geek Week episode. That's part of the reason we didn't include either of them on the DVD.

In that case, is there any chance that the extended geek week episode will ever see the light of day? I'm sure somewhere Tim Child mentioned this would be shown but I may be wrong.
-
No idea.
-
If and when the DVD comes out, please let me know. By the sounds of it, it all looks good. Credit to all those who made the Knightmare con possible. I really enjoyed it thanks
-
I wonder if the Lords Of The Game pilot will forever remain a convention exclusive or if there might still be any future opportunity to see it. (And the pilot eps of Knightmare, for that matter. Would be cool if Tim could dig them out for the 40th anniversary next year!)

Speaking of dvds.
I NEVER received one, nor did I get my money back for ask lord fear, a perk I never got to use.
I was royally ripped off with this experience and never got a reply full stop when I asked.
I'm only glad I got to meet Hugo again at Nor-con a few years after. I enjoyed the experience at nightmare convention but not how I was ignored and forgotten here. One of many reasons I never returned here because of how angry this experience left me. Like I was punished.
