<![CDATA[Knightmare on DVD]]>I was a big fan of "Knightmare" when it ran in the late 80's and early 90's on ITV, and I have recently been enjoying the re-runs of Series 3 on "Challenge TV" recently (shame they are ending soon though!). I would love a DVD release of all the series, it would be fantastic. As for the people on about a VHS release, no offence to that but does anybody really care about VHS now? VHS is so poor compared to DVD, why bother? VHS is such an old format now, I can't understand anyone who buys videos now. Anyway, this isn't a rant against VHS, but obviously now we are in the DVD age.

I have been taping the Series 3 repeats off Challenge TV, and I have some recorded from the original broadcasts on ITV, but not many as some of my videotapes have chewed up, with age I guess. I would love to see some "Knightmare" DVD's. Commentaries would be ace, from Tim Child, Hugo Myatt and any other cast/crew members. Other stuff such as 'behind-the-scenes' material would be great, and also maybe all the "Children's ITV" links that was shown before & after "Knightmare". Also, Treguard and other cast members often made appearances on CITV, so be good to see them too, and also the adverts for the tie-in books that were show after some episodes of the show.

Maybe, also a "Where Are They Now?" type featurette to show what happenned to the many stars of the show, such as Mark Knight (Lord Fear), Paul Valentine (Motley/Sylvester Hands) etc. I did know that Michael Cule (Brother Mace/Fatilla) appeared in the Michael Winner movie, "Dirty Weekend". Maybe, also extend this to feature the teams, and in particular the winning teams, some of which has posted messages on the www.knightmare.com site. I would also like to see a retrospective documentary type-thing, in which Tim Child and co, could talk about how the idea for the show came-up, and about casting etc.

I think a DVD of this show is long overdue, the show has never been repeated on ITV1, it was never released on video and apart from the Sci-Fi Channel    re-runs in '98 (which was only on UK cable at this time - Sky's analogue hours of Sci-Fi were only 8pm-12am and "Knightmare" was broadcast in the morning. Also, cable wasn't widely available throughout the UK at this time, only in certain regions) it wasn't ever seen again on TV (since the original broadcasts on ITV) until Christmas 2002 when Challenge TV started to show Series 3. However, that is drawing to a close soon, and Challenge have no plans to show any of the other series. So, a DVD release of the entire 8 series would be fabulous, and judging by the number of fans this show has, I am sure it would sell well.

So, here's hoping a DVD release of "Knightmare" will happen one day...

Just a small point tho - Why is pickle a knight?? surely Elf-King would be more apt?? (or Arawn!!) or Treguard's ex slave, free to roam?? - bit long i guess

as far as the petiton goes it was sent off and granada know my email address, home address (its more secure than getting it sent to halls of residence). im meeting my mum in wales over this weekend and she'll be bringing me any mail that she hasnt already forwarded.

i also told them not to hesitate to ask if they were unsure of anything and also told them this forum is where the petition was "born" so here is good for questions too.

believe me i'll be shouting about it as soon as i get any news

Even if he hasn't got very far with it, I think it'd be a relief for us all to know.

Of course, we will let you know as soon as there is anything.

Do we have a response from Granada Media? It seems to be taking a long time to get a response. Can somebosy tell me what the state of play is?

So that will mean no Challenge anymore and no series 5 goes to get Kleenex. Sob Sob .

I've e-mailed Pickle about the petition... basically the next step is to get it printed and sent off.

yes, that's true, it was very rude of me to keep these crazy ideas all to myself, i now have four cunning plans if the petition doesn't work out

If it does I might just carry them out anyway...

Aah, yes but i've got a new theory for that cunning plan, involving a catapault and a lot of masking tape.......

If you need help with that, I'm close by with my nimble fingers.

Roxx, I thought we'd been through this and you'd accepted that we couldn't get that many starved ferrets into Granada Towers quickly enough.

Aah, yes but i've got a new theory for that cunning plan, involving a catapault and a lot of masking tape.......

I'm having problems with contacting and persuading red dragons to join or ranks though, that's why i haven't posted on this thread for a while, burnt fingers...
