Thanks, Drassil. We're just on the end of Season 3 for a third time, at the moment. I still feel Leo was VERY unlucky - the Avebury circle question was quite tough for a group of that age. Otherwise, I think they might have won through!

Newbie (or Re-bie, possibly - can't remember)Thanks for the all that: appreciated. I've just seen the documentary - it's brilliant! I hardly recognized Mace at all!

Newbie (or Re-bie, possibly - can't remember)Hey folks
I'm Davey. I'm 35 and live in Ramsgate on the fat lip of Kent. I watched Knightmare from Series 1 and was an insane fan right up until Series 5 or 6, I think. I'm now rewatching them with my oldest (Sebastian, aged 4) who absolutely loves the series.
I did notice this time around that I really, REALLY enjoyed Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 (3 particularly was fantastic) but that the 'atmosphere' suffered terribly the more the actors were encouraged to take a larger part and the more the plots were developed. The older 'dungeon' feel seemed to wane after 3 and was completely gone by 5. Oddly, it felt on rewatching that they almost got it back too late during series 8.
Oh, well - either way Knightmare was breathtakingly brilliant. I LOVED the books (especially the first four) by Dave Morris and even the games (the C64 one more than the later Amiga version).
A big hello to anyone who - like me - is now rewatching the series...whether for themselves or their little ones! I find myself UBER curious as to what all the actors and adventurers are doing now??? Sidriss was LOVELY.

JUST FOR FUN....Hey folks
My name is Davey Stone, and I run the Grimstone Youtube channel. I also write fantasy and horror books for children and teenagers for Disney, Sony, Hodder and Buena Vista - among others.
I watched Knightmare since the first series in 1987, wrote a couple of pieces for 'The Eye Shield' and contributed as much as I could to the 'BBK' campaign.
Anyway, I've done a few jokey videos on Youtube about a fictional 'Knightmare' dungeoneer called Steve. The links are here:

Hope you like them - come and say HI - and thanks!
I'm also over at @davidgrimstone on Twitter - so if you're doing anything 'Knightmare' and want it retweeted, give me a shout!
