I'm glad I helped somewhat to that ratings figure. hehe

Possibly slightly lower in the later years.

Series by series if possible. Episode by episode would be asking too much,... but I'll accept it if it's achievable!!!

The 'chat' functgion has gone, as has the sarcastic member, the WHEN ARE YOU SHOWNG IT guy and some other dolts.

Amazingly, the people who work at Challenge still, after all this nonsense, read the posts and occasionally impart their words of wisdom.

Groovy.

I believe that people are beginning to get fed up with the bombardment of their favourite program (Takeshi fans that is).

If I can vaguely remember, nearly a year ago, it was broadcasted nearly everyday at 4/5pm, then it moved from that to 10:30am/6:30/7:30pm, it's just gradually going downhill whilst Takeshi's Castle is taking up all the odd spots for more popularity...

I'd love to see series 1 again and 2 (which I missed), but as much as I'd love to see series 3-8 again I think that it might need a break before it gets shown again. I have a feeling that the ratings dropped quite a bit that's why it was moved to Saturday mornings. Personally I don't think that the raitings have been that high since being moved to 8-9am weekends, particularly with the younger viewers due to other kids programs on the other channels. How many people do you think (out of the whole the population of Britain) watch Challenge between about 7am and 12pm over the weekends? I don't think that it's that many. How many people watch tv from about 7-9.30am on Sunday mornings? I doubt that many as a lot of people sleep in. I also can't see, that many people staying up late Sunday night to watch the early Monday morning repeats because a lot of them either have to be up early for work or to get the kids up and to school.

I know that this may sound negative, but I'm speaking from a reality point of view.

I have just tried to look up full figures from www.viewingfigures.com but it doesn't seem to be loading up at the moment.

I wonder if the time-slot change has improved the show's prospects.

Do you think challenge should rest Knightmare for a while after this run? Obviously we want it on all the time, but a rest might do the show some good.

But, they're still impressive for a minor cable channel.

You'd have thought the 'cliffhanger' aspect of KM might keep a regular audience tuning in. Perhaps because it is shown frequently viewers just dip into it, rather than avidly watch every episode.

10 KNIGHTMARE (Wed 1929) 0.06

Can anyone decipher which episode this was?

Series 8, Episode 8. (shown Wednesday 2nd June 2004)

I believe the figure is the average rating for the whole broadcast.

If so you can't really say that only that many people were watching Knightmare at that time (1929) as there may have been a few people tuned in slightly later. I sometimes tend to tune in slightly after it has started. Looking at figures for April and May, there is a right mixed bunch of good ones and not so good ones there, including the 15th April 41.5 (thousand) and a few in the 30s also there are some quite low ones including 2.55 (thousand) I believe the lowest on 13rd April.

Does anyone know or have any idea?

I used to watch the Chrystal maze until Challenge bombarded me with the continuous repeat loop of it, which then I got bored with that also. Goodnes I just hope that that doesn't happen with Knightmare :o. At the moment I still enjoy seeing the repeats again and again as everytime I see certain episodes it still seems somewhat new even if you have seen it a dozen times before and know what is going to happen next, there always seems to be something you missed or have forgotten . Although series 4 is kind of repetative, I never seem to tire of it though . I mean who could get bored with incedences like "Simon! Sidestep to your left" . The problem with those other shows it that they are repetative and lose that unfamiliararity about them.

Its the 1st time iv'e botherd with the challenge channel.

Well i used to wath the Crystal maze on challenge about 4/5 years ago, Challenge looked really odd during that time.

Also there might be a lot of kidsies watch it at 10am due to the summer hols!

Hey, I was kind of thankful for the 10am slot on my holiday, It was the only reason I could watch Knightmare for that week. Though now Knightmare kind of clashes with a few things my parents want to watch....

Come to think of it, except from Knightmare, what shows do people think are actually good on Challenge?
