I would be very interested in buying a box set of knightmare DVDs. (Although not downloads as I wouldn't want to use the computer for TV show downloads.)

I am a fan of the show from when it was on orignally on CITV. I have registered on the forum before although I have lost my id, and therefore consider myself to be an existing member of the knightmare online community. A lot of my friends also watched the show. (I'm 28 years old and I consider myself to be a CITV man, rather than CBBC, the shows were all better, despite the adverts, shows such as Fun House, Woof, and Finders Keepers were all watched, as was knightmare.) In other words I am the typical person you have been trying to reach.

However up until visiting the website yesterday I had no idea that this project even existed. Hence why I have only just re registered to the forum and posted in this topic.

Websites such as youtube, facebook, and twitter etc should be bombarded. I looked at the facebook group created, which was mentioned earlier on in the thread, and the group is about to be archived. Maybe a new group should be created. (There are 263 members in the existing group, I have just joined, but no admins.)

I would say that the interest for this is maybe enough to make it viable, it may not be. But if people are not even aware of the existance of the project it is impossible to say what the interest level is, and we won't know. That would be in my opinion the worst thing that could happen, even worst than us definately knowing that there isn't enough interest!

The money is of course the one issue I have not yet mentioned. Well I don't have any kind of magic wand to make it suddenly appear (not even spellcasting M O N E Y will work!) But I'm guessing everyone else reading this also doesn't have enough money on their own either!

Buying the rights to the show (I have read the whole thread up until now) will cost a lot of money as already mentioned in the thread.

The real question I think people need to be prepared to answer is would they accept a financial loss in order for us to buy the rights (I don't see this being profitable as we haven't got any rights yet to anything. So in short I don't see how we can get the money back.) If not then theres little point in my opinion in carrying on with the project. However if people are prepared to accept a financial loss to buy the rights, then the project can go ahead.

(Of course buying the rights is one thing, that would mean that anyone buying the DVD would have to pay seperately for that. But everyone who buys existing DVDs already accepts a financial loss to own the physical copy of the DVD, this wouldn't be any different apart from we are trying to buy the rights in the first place.)

Assuming a £600 per episode cost then:

Series 1 would cost £4,800.

Series 2 £9,600.

Series 3 £9,600.

Series 4 £9,600.

Series 5 £9,600.

Series 6 £9,000.

Series 7 £9,000.

And Finally Series 8 £6,000.

Total cost £76,800.

(I have assumed a £600 per cost episode, as I wanted the figure to be quite high to show a possible maximum figure. Of course this is based on figures already mentioned earlier on in this thread.)

Overall a quick summary of my post then:

1. People need to be aware of the project. I am sure the interest is there myself personally speaking though.

2. To buy the rights to the show people will need to be prepared to accept a financial loss in my opinion. If they are not there is no point carrying on with the project.

Finally sorry if this appears negative. Just want to be a bit realistic.
