Well done team, we’ve won!

I thought that would never end! Thanks to everyone who voted - a wonderful community spirit gets what it deserves.

To think the Teletubbies nearly killed us in round 1 – thanks to David for bringing this vote to our attention.

Having spent most of my free time over the last fortnight voting in this poll this is a real feel-good moment - vindication :)

Though I suspect I’m now going to have some kind of post-exam comedown!

Yeeeeeessss, it's official! :D Can't believe we beat Ant & Dec! Have the armchair adventurers finally earned their spurs?

Round 1: Time for Tubby bye-bye!
Round 2: Chip & Fail
Round 3: Duck off
Round 4: Shaun the Sheepish
QFs: That's all folks
SFs: Sooty swept away
Final: SM:TV dead!

We are the mighty Knighties!!!

How about a Merit medal for David? None of this would have been possible if he hadn't drawn our attention to the poll. :)

Should we be worried that the voting buttons have re-appeared? :P

I wonder if they have tried to hide the result so as to do a "big reveal" of the final result. If so, we have rather stolen their thunder :->

It's ok, they're not accepting more votes.

Having a celebratory beer at my work desk!

It just gives me a blank box when I try, so I assume it has no effect on the scores.

Oh hey, now we need a final verse for our ditty. :D

There were quite a few awesome kids shows who never made the list.
But it's a good job KM didn't come up against Morph.

I'll try a bit harder. Cue theme music...

A vote has been in progress, so here's a progress report; -

Knightmare has faced the test,
To prove itself to be the best.
Faced rival shows from far and wide,
Knightmare it seemed would not be denied.

Beating puppets and cartoon foes,
It was soon one of just two shows.
SMTV its final threat,
Or so we thought, but in fact, no sweat.

Quick from the blocks from moment one,
Knightmare had it seemingly won.
Right from the first few hours fought,
SMTV in its wake was caught.

One brief fightback narrowed the chase,
But never did SMTV get near to first place,
As Knightmare's share was seventy or more
For most the time they were keeping score.

And so Knightmare, with over eighty per cent,
Has the prize on which its fans were bent.
Victory decided, no further contest,
Knightmare - the Kids Show that is the best.

And now time turns,
The fire burns,
The polling is gone,
The time for a good, Lord-Fear-style gloat is ON....

That was a rather textbook finish :) I call it, "Cast vote, count results, kick ass!"
