Was about to post this, after I posted the orginal news a year ago(WOW was it that long ago when I posted that) but obviously word has quickly got out to everyone. It is seriously fantastic news, I thought it just wasnt going to happen, in that it was going on far too long, but this is great, it has really cheered me up this evening this news.

My only disapointment. I am at Centre Parks that weekend(NOOOOOOOOOOO) so cant watch it, but thank heavens for the great invention of Sky Plus, just means I have to wait a bit longer than most people to watch it again, Oh well, good things come to those who wait still.

Let the celebrations begin

This is just fantastic news, it will great to see old classics on TV again from T-Bag(OMG does anyone remember T-Bag)Finders Keepers(Epic show),Orginial Sooty Show,Rainbow, and of course Knightmare, WOW cant wait, hope there's enough room on the Sky Plus for this weekend

And in more good news,I saw a post from Challenge saying they are still working on Knightmare even though we probably thought it was all a bit dead in the water, the reason its taking time is because Challenge is now owned by a different company who used to own them so the rights to Knightmare ran out and they have to go through the whole process again of getting rights,setting up deals etc so apparently it takes time

Hi all

Havent posted on these forums for quite some time, but thought I would post some "very" interesting news

I was on Facebook last night, and went onto Challenge TV's Facebook page, and they have just posted a poll saying "If Knightmare came to Challenge, What other Show would you like us to pair it up with.

The shows suggested to pair the show with were Finders Keepers,Fun House(Early 1st Series),Get your own Back,Double Dare,Run the Risk, so does this mean Challenge are "possibly" thinking of bringing back the show yet again???

No word yet obviously what series, as its early days, Infact It still might not be confirmed, but I thought it was incredibly exciting news to hopefully see it on TV again

Lets just Hope people also go onto Challenge to vote in the poll, I voted Finders Keepers, although Fun House is currently winning at the moment

An unfair death I felt. Although an easy question, Merlin usually asks teams 2 questions and 1 out of 2 is usually ok to get magic, so I think Merlin should have asked another question for the team to have a chance.

Also they were an excellent team, and I felt they could have gone all the way but cruely killed them off.

Also what a cock up though with Mildred. The hint was clear to take the left door but they take the right door, however as said, they thought it was a trick and it would be the opposite door, but to be fair, I would have taken the Left door.

Good Episode though, shame about the Death, Its the last episode of Series 2 tomorrow so I'm guessing from Friday 9th July, We start with Series 3 and then in sequence we will go Series 4,5,6,7 and 8. And then I'm guessing they may show them all in a loop again when all shown.

Mistake in this room too... As the dungeoneer approached the table, the satellite feed switched over to some other channel, where a phone-in game was taking place. Oddly, the Challenge logo remained! Soon switched back to Knightmare though. Anyone else saw this?

Well It sounds like it happened everywhere then as it happened to me too, looked like a technicly fault on the channel???Did this happen on Sky Digital As well, I watched it on NTL Digital, Just Curious????

Anyway back to the episode, What an very unfair death. No way did they have time to pick up all the Medal Pieces, as soon as got the first piece, The Automatum stormed in and was immedinatly next to the second piece of the Medal so it was impossible to get the other pieces. Why was this, I dont think they gave the team a fair chance here?????Did they want to kill them off?????

Anway saying this, they didnt techniclly need to use their free spell, as Treguard said You could save the spell for themselves, However maybe they thought Free The Lady and She would help them escape, However it can be risky sometimes and this proved it.

I did laugh at the Advisor spellcasting the Spell Twice, made me chuckle a little.

A Good Episode as I've always wanted to see this Death Scene againthe most(dunno why but it really sticks out in my mind)

After seeing this again, I couldnt believe the stupidty of the team, as they only have themselves to blame. I thought that when teams are read the rules, they are told they must NEVER TAKE items which resemble Weapons of the Enemy and Only Take them if indicated as a hint in a clue room or by a charactor etc. OK So maybe they just generally forgot about the rule, but surely one of the advisors would have had it stuck in their mind.

Also here's a thought, Treguard told them to guess at a door, but were they already in losing status anyway, Do we think they really could have found their way if they did find the correct door???? Personally I think they really couldnt guess, and that the items was physiclly needed to progress. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened though if they took the Back Left Door though, the only one they didnt take????

What a Puzzling Death Scene, I cant believe a team could get the naming of the Spell so wrong, Were they definatly watching the same quest or another one.

Also watch that scene again, and when the advisor accidently spellcasts Spade, One of the Advisors is heard saying something like " Its Shovel,SpellCast Shovel" So what does the idiot do again, He spellcasts Spade, He then gets the Dungioneer to yell out Spade which I thought was funny.

Also should they have even got a Shovel Spell for answering just one question at the mine scene????I would have thought they would have needed 2 out of 3 questions for magic. Also I'm thinking because they didnt get magic off Merlin, then the other questions on the Mine Scene was a backup to get the Magic Back?????

Good Episode, but this new team seem to take ages on the Combat Chess, and they were very sneaky on the Scorpian Scene by keeping to the far right which made me laugh, Now I know why they decided to create a hole to the right of the Scorpian in Series 3 which forced teams to run through and time it right.

Good Last Episode.

Spike Room - what was Richard doing, he nearly got spiked twice on both sets of spears and was very slow to react to his advisors, Personally if the spikes did catch him, I dont think it would have been Quest Over, more like a Damage to Life Force.

Clue Room - Odd moment in that when he picked up the items, and came away from the table, he dropped down a little step whoch suggest the table was too Big for Richard, and a step was brought in to lift him up a bit to see the items. Also he picked up the bell, but what on earth was that used for????Didnt use it in Level 2, and Level 2 items are useless when you reach the next level arnt they??? Prehaps the right item was actually the gold and would have been a backup item to give to the Level 3 guard if they didnt get the password??????

Merlin Room - He gave them a SHIELD spell but again what on earth was that meant to be used for I wonder???Maybe it was a protection spell from the Medusa room if it appeared in Series 1 to get past??? but could spells be used in later levels, I didnt think they could???

Level 3 First Room - The First view of Level 3 for the viewers, nice looking room and and the music was very cool indeed, Loved the Skeleton appearing too, however it looked like the team was never in danger, he stayed still.

cavernwights room - My Word, what on earth were the team doing, they seemed to take ages putting down the sniff potion, and at one point, the advisor told him to wait before doing it, and yet one of the cavernwights came racing towards him, certaintly a little let off.

Good Episode nicely bringing the end of Series 1. Also no mention that Series 2 is to start tomorrow, but I'm guessing it will be because Knightmare is still scheduled in the same slot.

My suspicion is that several rooms in level 2 were left out of the final edit to fit the quest inside the season time limit.

This is a plausible theory because when watching Team 4, they did encounted quite a few rooms in Level 2, and there was probably more to come if they had got past the room with Folley and his riddle. However for this last team after Cedric, there was only The Spear Room,The Clue Room,The Key room for Casper,The Merlin Room, and The Level 3 Well so only 5 rooms which seems oddly short for Level 2, So YES if there was rooms cut out of the quest, there was obviously one where the team used the Bell, and one where they used the Shield Spell too????

If these edits were made, then I have one word(WHY) Maybe the production team thought there was a risk the team might not quite reach level 3, and maybe they thought it would be good for the viewers to at least see what level 3 would have looked like in Series 1 even if the team didnt complete their quest????

Well if you ask me, the team were let off slighty for some reason

watch the bit when Richard goes down the well, the life force energy clock is CLEARLY on the bit when the eyeballs come towards the screen, however in the catacombite room, the life force bit was turned back slighty and was on the last skull bit disapearing from the screen, he only just picks it up in time too.

I didnt think he actually touched the catacombite, seems like he takes the pie nicely without incident.

I loved the Insults Scene with Folly and Cedric, it was certaintly different, and it was great fun to watch, Loved the Commentrary from Treguard too.

Also for the ad break, it was finally returned to the correct setting with the old knightmare still logo screen, with no jingle too, glad they got something right there.

So Episode 8 tomorrow, and I'm guessing Series 2 will start Thursday????? You would think they may wait until Monday, but then Knightmare is still scheduled in the same time for the rest of this week so It must be????

An interesting Episode, my comments

Team 4 Death - I cant believe they were so stupid, what on earth were they thinking, Was'nt it quite clear to take the door on the right hand side.Its as if they never even saw that door because if you watch the dungioneers, they debate through the riddle if they should take the far left door, or the Back Left Door which I thought was odd, and how they thought they were going to get through a locked door with no key was funny.

However maybe they got confused by how Folley was standing, Prehaps they thought that Folly's Left(Which would have been the right door by the way he was standing) was referring to the left hand door in the riddle, and Folly's Right(Which would have been the left door by the way he was standing) was referring the right door in the riddle??? Obviously a crazy thought, but I just find it bizarre why they took the left door, If I was in the team, I would not have asked second questions and immediatly suggested the right door, It was so easy.

Team 5 Death - Slighty unfair in that they only needed the other riddle right to know what way to go, however if you are always uncertain, shouldnt you go right anyway as that is the rule of the dungeon isnt it. Prehaps by the way Treguard spoke to them, they thought it would be too obvious to go right, and thought Left may be the answer?????

Team 6 then, Only just started but handled the first obstacle well, but then again it was easy and I did like the comment from the advisor which went something like

"If we direct him onto the Bridge Symbol, I think that the bridge will come down for him to go over."

Well DUH, What else did you think was going to happen, the bridge would collapse under him or something.

Good episode, roll on for more.

EDIT - noticed again that for the add break, they used the later series logo again with the small little jingle, dunno whats going on here, but cant be a mistake again as it happened Friday??? Its not really something major to complain about, but its certaintly noticeable to most knightmare fans. Personally I dont think most people will generally care about it, but its still odd in a little way

A Good Episode this one, but the episode really seemed to go slow and they are still on Level 2.

Level 2 Clue Room - Was was going on here, Was'nt it obvious what food to take even when Treguard gave them a clue, Also their life course really drained down quickly, and I thought they were going to run out for a minute there. I personally thought it was funny when after they finally took the grapes, one of the advisors come out with the comment " Should We Take the Fish as one of the items too" ummmmmm, how about NO

I did like the " But How can he eat a Raw Fish" comment too

the Ad Break was certaintly odd, they used the Later Series Logo with the little jingle too. Surely a Mistake of some kind???Not that it really bothered me, but it was noticeable

So was there 2 firsts in Knightmare in this episode. Firstly given 3 Spells from Merlin(WOW) and 2 warnings too, I cant think of another team that was given so much information and spells from one person, Surely the only person to do so in the history of Knightmare.

The Spears Room - How Hilarious with them crawling under the spears, It was brilliant. Also I reckon they let them off a tiny bit because when he crawled and they told him to go left, they went into the next room automaticlly.

The End Riddle - Its Clearly The Right Door isnt it.

Says the Right Hand to the Left Hand, I dont know the way

Says the Left Hand to the Right Hand, I'm in Disaray

Very Well says the Right Hand, then I will take the Say.

Surely the Phrase " Very Well says the Right Hand,I will take the say" should realise to the team thats its the right hand door to take.

Also loved Folly's Reaction when he was told to repeat the phrase, he obviously was'nt very happy.

ARGH, Cant believe we have to wait till monday for more, I'm sure I can handle the wait though

A Good Episode. comments

Corridor of Spears - Got through it safely, and the team were not let off, I know that was the norm for the corridor of spears in that when a team passed them or got near to them, they disapeared automaticlly, you will see in later episodes to confirm this.

The Death - The team only have themselves to blame, one can quite clearly be heard saying "Spellcast Anvil" and he starts to do it, until one of the advisors quickly changes their mind to say Disspell the Lantern. Also I thought it was quite obvious to take offensive or defensive action as it was clear he was unhappy, and wanted to get rid of the dungeoneer. The Anvil Spell was obviously a huge anvil that would knock out the guard for long enough for the team to get down to Level 3. Personally its a shame this team died, I felt this team were excellent, and were doing great and it only lead to a small confusion over the team members which killed them off.

So Team 4, They are doing well at the moment, Got confused by the riddle too, but obviously they must have got it right, this is how I understood it.

3rd from left, certain death - So that Back Door, Right hand Side

4th from right, out of sight - This Door is obviously The Far Left Door

The foolish folk that I can diddle, take 2nd right from middle (i.e. extreme right) - I think this meant by standing in the middle of the room, you should take the second right from the far right hand door So Back Right Hand Door was First Right, and the Back Left Hand Door was Second Right so they were right IMO

Clue Room - Noticed again that lifeforce was restored before the team picked up the food, but this time it was resetted BEFORE he even touched the food which was odd.

Lillith's Room - Thought it was funny how they almost missed out on the Spell, they gave her the budda, and tryed to rush out quickly, and very almost did. even when Lillith tryed to tell them to wait, they still try to tell him to rush out of the room, so was this almost a very costly mistake??Does anyone think this was a very small letoff in that the producers told them to wait before continueing on to get their reward???

good Episode though, roll on tomorrow for more

True, this series is, understandably, just not as polished as others.

I think this is a case though of watching Series 3-8 on Challenge which are all great series, and then when watching Series 1, it just seems a bit rubbish and very outdated, and its just something we havnt been used to in seeing. Its still good to watch it from Series 1 again though

Comments on this episode

Thought the team were funny in the clue room, They tryed to pick up items in the middle of the riddles and when the wall monster appeared first of all as well.

The Death - It was an unfortunuate death, but they only had themselves to blame. First They were told they could pick up 2 items when they started the quest, and also one of the girls was clearly heard saying

" I'm sure that relates to picking up the comb, so shall we pick up the comb"

How sad when they quickly ditched that idea, and picked up the soap, but if they picked up the comb as well, they would have survived. Also trying to think what the soap would be used for, but it could be used in the serpants stomach to escape????? So YES a sad death and it could be said that Why didnt Treguard Tell them to pick up another item, but they were told anyway, so its still their fault.

Team 3 - Whats with the dungioneer, He keep holding his arms out, and he looks funny and looks more like a puppet

Odd Things - Did anyone notice that on both times for Team 2 and 3, that the life force resetted BEFORE they put the food into the napsack in the clue rooms. Also when Team 3 left the Clue room, It made the room change noise/animation and yet the team were no where near the door.

Funny Stuff - When Team 3 get all 3 questions right, Treguard says quite clearly and loudly they can call out "I Command You to get a bonus" but I burst out laughing when the dungioneer said " So what should I do now then" and then its made worse when the team discuss with him what he should take. Treguard has to remind them AGAIN to yell out "I command You" and yet they still dont do it for about a brief second, So funny

Anyway Roll on Episode 3

Crap, double Post, Please Delete

Brilliant to see Series 1,Episode 1 for the first time again in 17 years for me, Its really been a blast from the past, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Loved seeing the orginal opening credits again including the brief view of the prisoner behind the cell, This was cut out on later series.

Took a while to get going, but it was good when it started, never realised the dungeoner put on their own helmet.

First Team took forever to work out the easy opening puzzle, and even when they realised it spelt OPEN, they still seemed to take forever.

Wall Monster looked pathetic compared to later series, It made me laugh really, and it was rather odd.

I dont think the team died in Lillith's room, I didnt see them come off the edge, but yes they seemed to walk through the rock to get through the serpants mouth, lol

The Death - Are we sure he was meant to go left as I thought the wall monster gave a hint to go right at that moment(Maybe I got confused by something else he said)obviously the right thing to do was remember the charm though and take the candle, and I think they would have learned this information if they got all 3 questions right, Still we will never know for sure though.

I will admit to laughing though when the team told him to hold up the charm thing in the hope somthing would happen even though Treguard told them when they entered the room their quest was pretty much over

So Team 2 start, Again they take forever working out the opening puzzle, and lifeforce is already down to amber, still they will be in the clue room soon to get health so no real bother.

Awesome Episode, Cant Wait for episode 2 tomorrow

JamesP has confirmed that they have taken off the 1.25AM showing because the 7.30PM is doing extremly well and the majority of die hard Knightmare fans are always tuning into the 7.30PM episode so they are sticking with that, They also have no plans to move Knightmare from its 7.30PM slot either.

If anyone was watching the late night showing, then I have a piece of advice. All you need to do is leave a tape on record all night, and then in the morning, just copy that episode onto your other tape that you're recording the episodes onto and Voila you have your episode on your tape where you want it, you can even cut out the adverts.

I had to do this for Series 4 when it was shown early at 6PM, I was never at home to watch/record it so I had to keep leaving a tape on record all day and then copy it over, it was a pain, but at least I have all those episodes on tape now

I liked it but i wish that the final team would have moved faster through all the rooms. if they did then i think they could have made it. Ah well. I agree with the great directions in the corridor of blades. I think if this team was on from the start they might have won but time always wins(grrr it).

There is no way the last team could have won even if they did hurry up as there simply would not have been enough time, Even if they had a dedicated full episode, I'm sure they still would not have reached the end even with the short cut. Dunstan's win was streched out over 1 full episode and 2 half episodes dont forget

I miss knightmare already and its only been an hour:(

Me too, but not too long to wait until we see Series 1 again, I really cant wait for this. Sadly I never recorded any series of Knightmare when it was on CITV, and I never had Sfi Fi when it was repeated on there so on Monday, I will finally be seeing Knightmare series 1 again for the first time in nearly 17 years, Its truely going to be an exciting moment(For me anyway)

Anyway back to the episode in Question. It was a good last show, but it never really ended on an exciting note.

Dunstan's quest was a good one, but he never really had any hard puzzles to do apart from the COB which he did nearly die in when watched again, but he does clearly survive, Still good guiding by the advisors all around made it a good win

Also noticed for the last team, they tryed to speed it up a little to give the team a small chance on winning, but obviously it was too big a task to win, like when he started, he went straight into the clue room, and Level 1 Seemed incredibly Short.

Also the Burst spell was obviously self activating as when Oliver went in, the Blades were down to the normal speed, Some Brilliant Guiding by the advisors here incidently and I loved how Oliver never paniced here either like most people have done.

Its coming peeps, Its coming.

Less than a week now until we can see Series 1 again for the first time in nearly 17 years for many of us. YES YES I know many people would have seen it on Sci Fi when it was on, but I didnt have SKY TV at that time when they showed it so I never got a chance to see it so I'm deadly excited about seeing Series 1 and 2 again

Roll on next Monday

P.S has anyone see the brief advert advertising Series 1 on Challenge(I saw it yesterday on Bank Holiday Monday) Its a short advert showing a biref clip of Series 1 with Treguard and a voiceover saying Watch Knightmare where it all began, starting Next Monday at 7.30PM etc

Its pretty cool

Here's a thought it's tough but what about a spell to get through it, what would be a good spell to use?

I guess if it has been included, the team could have got a Freeze or Speed spell on the way to temporary freeze/slow down the axe so they could get through, However the spell could last for only a short time to build up suspense.

I'm sure the reason stated above is why it was not included, I think it would have bee to hard of a puzzle to put in a game, and it would be judged highly unfair for the team, It would have still been cool to see in the game though

A Good episode, but I'm realy confused over their death.

What on earth did they actually need then to get to Level 3 cause I cant see how they could get another float spell. It was obvious they needed the first Float Spell to reach Level 2 so where on earth were they meant to get another one from?????

Some good moments in this episode though, love the combination room with the music and the troll noises, and then panicing to quickly get it done and go through.

Also there is a small blooper in the episode - When Treguard opens the gate for Rebecca to go through. He trys to close it but pulls the chain the wrong way, he is confused for about a second over why it wont close before realising
