From walking into walls, to "Simon, sidestep left", to employing Majida as Treguard's assistant, what do you think the biggest Knightmare blunder was?

Well the blunder was certainally to end the show and having a shorter eighth serier didn't do the show justice.

There have been a few blunders in team selection over the years though, surely there have been better applicants.

Everyone seems to forget the other "side-step left" incident (Nathan, Series 8).

I think you can see him give an amused look to some people out of camera shot as he hands Giles the correct card. :)

I agree that the biggest blunder was Knightmare ending when it did. Tim Child can give whatever reasons he likes on the KM history pages, but we all know it was down to a new controller who wanted to make her mark by axeing a show of which she didn't even have the right to say the name of, let alone work on the network that showed it. The average viewing age shouldn't have mattered, it was still attracting viewers and that should have been all that mattered. I enjoyed Knightmare when I was 6 years old..

Anyway... Hugo Myatt said himself that they were coming up with some great stuff in 1994 and it should have gone on. Despite those among us who werent so keen on the later series, I think they had some interesting things going for the show by series 8.

Here's a REALLY big blunder!
In Barry's quest at the end of s 7, Brother strange rejected the proverb 'many hands make light work' saying he already had it. But! Later in s 8 during Daniel's quest he accepts the same proverb as "a marvelous proverb." Now where's the continuity in that?!

Not necessarily a blunder, but an oddity I realised a few days ago: should a spyglass really provide multiple 'camera angles'?

I think the fact that we get sound is more puzzling!
