Knightmare Series 5-8
-
Well, that table posted here (many thanks) showing Km in 9th place is quite interesting. All the programmes above it are the same title over and over again. If a programme were only allowed to appear once, its figures averaged, that would probably make Km the 2nd or 3rd most popular programme on Challenge. That's not bad going at all!
Based on that, I think it is fairly likely that they will get another series. Here's hoping. (Although I haven't got Challenge either, it's still great to know that people now have the opportunity to discover the programme or even rediscover it - and mosey on down here and join our little community. )

Just a thought...do you reckon Knightmare will ever overtake Takeshi's castle? People are bound to get bored of the latter after a while, since it never changes! Granted, it's funny, but the theme seems so repetitive!
Ever the optomist, I think it will, hehe
I've said this so many times that I'm starting to become as repetitive as Takeshi's castle but Takeshi's is only funny the first 4 or so times you watch it, after that it's just not funny and theres not exactly a lot of scope for continuing the programme so I recon people will just get bored of it after a while, the veiwing figures I've seen for Takeshi's have decreased quite significantly (from 200 000 to 160 000) in the last couple of months so it's losing popularity already whilst Knightmare is GAINING popularity, hehehe
hiphip HOORAH!

Put it this way Maley, if it doesn't clinch it then what's going to?
If they don't buy more series if it tops the ratings then challenge are pretty stupid and clearly aren't listening to their viewers!

Yeah, I doubt it'll last on Challenge? for 10 years, though heres hoping. I must however remember to tape each episode just in case they decide not to buy it again after the rights have expired.
But how many times have they shown/can show Takeshi's Castle or even the Crystal Maze?
-
Well, I think Challenge have acquired rights to show the series a certain number of times (10, I believe) so showing every day for 10 years might not be possible.
Aah, I was wondering how that worked out.
Does that mean that when they eventually buy other series they wont be able to show series 3 and 4 that they bought first because they keep repeating it?
Silly Challenge
-
Only if they've shown all the episodes 10 times each. They'll definitely use up their quota of repeats, though. They have been paid for, after all. I'm not sure but I think that leaves another 5 showings of series 3 and another 8 or so of series 4. That could last them another two years or so if they pad it out a bit. And in that time they may decide to get another series.
-
When ever Challenge do get around to showing series 5. I think that people are also now beginning to get bored with Takeshis castle, just look at how many people are posting about it now compared to how many people are posting about Knightmare and how much they enjoy it. About a quarter to a third of the posts are about other programmes and the other quarter/third is immature primary school playground rubbish.
Some of the individuals I work with are a lot more mature and a lot younger too!

Aww, I always rather liked Crystal Maze
I thought whatsisname, the bald guy, was really funny! Maybe that's just me though... But Knightmare is waaaay better, and I love it so much more! I've never watched Takeshi's Castle, but it always seems to be on Challenge when I'm channelhopping So here's hoping that Challenge buy more Knightmare series!! -
hiya,
i think whatsisname = Richard O'Brien

Thank you WhiteDevil - the name escaped me there, as you noticed
I do faces, I don't do names, er, whatever-your-name-is -
Yeah, I used to like The Crystal Maze alot when I was a kid before, I was a tad obsessed with it too. It is basically the show which led me to watch other Game Shows so....It did get annoying with all the repeats though.
Takeshi's Castle however was ermm O.K to start with. It'll actually admit that I really liked it then I first saw it but now I'm getting bored of it, I will never watch repeats of it.
Strange how Takeshi declined in viewers near the time Knightmare arrived...

Throws hat in air Yipee! High viewing figures mean that Challenge will show more KM! That means Series 1, 2 (hopefully!), 5, 7 and 8 to look forward to and video (I've already received Series 6, which is brilliant, let me tell you!). Personally, I'd like to see S5 first (I prefer the 'new' style more than the old).
