    The thing is, once you start watching Gamesmaster again, you become hooked. Until series 3, that is.

    But that's another story. With Knightmare one simply becomes hooked forever.

    Put Hugo Myatt and Sir Patrick Moore on Celebrity Poker! Or don't.

    GG, is the figure of 100,000 for Knightmare a record in terms of it being shown on Challenge? Or were there any higher figures? I think if memory serves me correctly the previous best was 70,000.

      I noticed all this debate about series on the Challenge forum. I didn't understand any of it, but hey!

      But that's another story. With Knightmare one simply becomes hooked forever.

      Teehee, sounds like you won't have trouble fitting in on this forum then!

      Put Hugo Myatt and Sir Patrick Moore on Celebrity Poker! Or don't.

      I watched that for the first time last night. I'd love to see the two of them on it. They could get all the presenters of all the Challenge shows in and we could watch as Hugo and Patrick take all Melinda Messenger's chips within two hands. She'd be saying "I still think I did AWFULLY well" as she bounces away from the table.

      It'd definitely hit 80,000 before, but without searching through my data (which I'll do tomorrow) I think it is pretty much the highest so far. When Series 4 was first shown in the same slot, the average figure was around 50-55,000 viewers, although 1. The data were from slightly different sources, so there may be some variation and 2. Seasonal factors will be starting to kick in now. Interestingly, with Series 4 the viewing figures built up pretty steadily- hopefully the same will happen this time too. In any case, KM/FB/TC reepatedly rated far far higher than their nearest rivals. I don't expect that's changed with respect to the old shows Challenge have kept in their schedules. With the other new shows, it's anyone's guess.

      Oh, so nice to have a question about the ratings. I feel so "yay".

        No KM in the Top 10 for the week figures have just been released for. Just Takeshi's Castle X6, Fort Boyard X3 (only one of them was a new episode) and a rogue episode of Guinness World Records.

        This is when I miss having access to all the viewing figures.

          This sounds stupid but how are we meant to raise the score/tally...?  🙂

            By starting rumours that 'watching Takeshi's castle gives you piles'

            or 'watching Knightmare helps cure all diseases'.

            I always find it difficult how accurately they can judge whether a programme accumulated 80,000 or 100,000 , given that BARB (excuse me! ) only go round asking a 1000 people which programmes they watch.

              I would have thought that series 5 would be a lot more popular than series 4. Lets hope thought that now Challenge have moved the evening slot forward an hour, it will be a lot more popular now as there will be more people at home to watch Knightmare and less people at home to watch TC, especially the 6.00 showing! That's when every one needs to try and somehow all watch the same edition, such as 7pm.

                Hey, first post in the Knews section for ages! The figures should definitely prove there will be demand for Challenge to buy the right for Series 6-8, but what I want to know is, when will they buy Series 1 and 2 since they haven't been shown yet?

                  Well, once they've exhausted series 6-8 and if there is still demand, they may decide to purchase series 1 and 2 then.

                    The more series Challenge buy, the better.  ;D

                      Well, we don't actually know if Series 5 is proving more popular than Series 4, since your local neighbourhood Grimwold is unable to dissect the figures this time. For all the know the average viewing figures in both slots could be substantially better than when Series 4 showed. No point asking Challenge, really, I doubt they'd say anything much on the subject.

                      I agree on the 7pm thing. Hopefully having 1 evening showing like this will improve the figures.
