However, even more interestingly there was a link to a TV ratings website which has full viewing figures information for every TV programme on every channel!</p>
<p dir="auto">I looked up Knightmare and have managed to obtain full ratings for nearly every broadcast since January. I've put it in a table for easy viewing at <a href="http://www.knightmare.com/reviews/challenge/ratings.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://www.knightmare.com/reviews/challenge/ratings.htm</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Those who would like to search and view the info yourself, go to <a href="http://macroscope.guerillascope.co.uk/st-guerillascopesoftware/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://macroscope.guerillascope.co.uk/st-guerillascopesoftware/</a> - register your name and e-mail and do a search for 'Knightmare' and click 'Run'.</p>
<p dir="auto">You can even run graphs of the demographic make up of the viewers for each episode! (although I think I'd need to read up on the terminology to make sense of it all).</p>
<p dir="auto">The analysis starts here...</p>

<p dir="auto">And let's face it, Takeshi's Castle is too popular. Knightmare is never going to beat it in the ratings stakes at all, so let's not see this as a contest - let's just see Knightmare as something we need to bump up the ratings for.</p>
<p dir="auto">Next series, please, people!</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, I'm interested in the ratings and hope to do an article or something on it for the next update.</p>
<p dir="auto">Good to see the Knightmare figures building up every week, presumably as more people find it. Series 3 and 4 have had plenty of exposure in prime time now, so I think Challenge's plan to move it to 10am soon to try and reach a new audience is a good idea. There may be many viewers on holiday mornings (children) who may not have caught Knightmare on weekday evenings.</p>

<p dir="auto">For the good dream. I for some reason became smarter thna normal and pieced together all ratings and things that we've recieved here and with the help of the good ol' people here, wrote a 6 page essay on how profitable it would be to buy more Knightmare. Since the profit margin was found to be rather huge, they basically had no other choice than to buy all the series' and everyone lived happily ever after...except Knightmare haters, but we don't like them, lol^_^</p>
<p dir="auto">Hehe, holiday tommorow so this is gonna be my last post for a while <em>hopes for Challenge? to confirm more series' by the time she gets back</em></p>

<p dir="auto">Hopefully Challenge? will see you're post as constructive criticism and you as a concerned viewer who wants them to get the best out of their programme 'portfolio'. But they do invariably get the wrong end of the stick.</p>
<p dir="auto">That's if the lazy mods don't look at the length of the post and think 'hmm, i'll just hope there's no expleteives in there....'</p>

The fact that is does consistently well (which the other two aforementioned shows don't seem to, based on what you have said, GG) would seem to imply a dedicated audience, too. Mind you, I guess we already knew that!</p>

I've averaged up the ratings for the evening schedule for Monday 14th to Friday 18th. Figures are, as always, in thousands. (The figure for The Crystal Maze is only based on 4 of these days, since on Friday the schedule is slightly different.)</p>
<p dir="auto">4pm - <strong>Bruce Forsyth's Play Your Cards Right Play Along</strong> - 38.102</p>
<p dir="auto">4.30pm - <strong>Family Fortunes Play Along</strong> - 43.586</p>
<p dir="auto">5pm - <strong>Fort Boyard</strong> - 65.93</p>
<p dir="auto">6pm - <strong>Knightmare</strong> - 54.324</p>
<p dir="auto">6.30pm - <strong>Takeshi's Castle</strong> - 62.46</p>
<p dir="auto">7pm - <strong>The Crystal Maze</strong> - 18.18</p>
<p dir="auto">8pm - <strong>Celebrity TV Bloopers</strong> - 28.002</p>
<p dir="auto">9pm - <strong>The Mole</strong> - 30.71</p>
<p dir="auto">10pm - <strong>Takeshi's Castle</strong> - 32.848</p>
<p dir="auto">Not such a good week for Knightmare. I suppose by this point most people have seen Series 3 and 4 already, so the ratings may drop off. However, it remains comfortably ahead of all the other early-prime and late-prime time shows with the obvious exceptions of Fort Boyard and Takeshi's Castle. On the Monday it was the highest rating show in the evening schedule, and on the Saturday (which is not included in these figures) it beat everything else in the prime-time schedule, Fort Boyard and Takeshi's inclusive.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd love to hear what other people think about the ratings. If people aren't interested, I won't bother to look into them each week. Obviously I'd be glad if people would be courteous enough to keep this thread on topic.</p>
