I have just watched the whole of series 1 and wonder why they replaced Knightmare with a programme about a talking fish in a computer that seemed to talk in water who was in a spaceship and who wasn't an alien...
That was Virtually Impossible.
My seven year old self hasn't forgotten that fish. Shudders. Hope he was cookable. I still feel that i would have loved Knightmare more then that Virtually Impossible even as a seven year old. Knightmare would have made more sense. Some of the challenges in Virtually Impossible were good but i think it was missing something. Like a better back story for that fish for a start. I only remember seeing a couple of episodes of it. Mostly because i didn't trust that fish as it didn't make sense with the way it talked and believed rightly or wrongly that the fish had done away with his original human crew.
Art Attack was good. Singing Kettle News was good. Knightmare is up there with Raven. I loved Raven when it was on.
Virtually Impossible...... Just needed a lot more work done on it. A lot more. And that fish to make sense. Talking under water......what? Then seven year old me might have enjoyed it more. As it is... seven year old me......
if i had had seen Knightmare as a seven year old that is..... wants Knightmare more .......
As Knightmare makes sense.
I think looking back they rushed it through. That's why it made little sense.
But Knightmare is still better [my own opinion based of what i have seen so far of both programmes] at this point in time.
I might have liked Virtually Impossible if the fish hadn't spoiled it for me.
