Does anyone else hear sound effects that were used in Knightmare being used in other TV programmes? Over the years, I've heard a sound clip of crows cawing (with a robin chirping soon after) being used a LOT and I immediately pick it up. In KM, it was often played when a dungeoneer entered a courtyard, or some other outside location. One of the other programmes I've heard that sound effect used in is Keeping Up Appearances!
The wolf sound effect from series 4 has definitely been used in l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-d-s of TV shows, and probably even a few movies as well, down the years. Stock sound effects are everywhere, they're usually cheap (or free), and so everyone buys the same one.

Oh, and I'm sure I heard the sound effect for the Reach Wand recently...in Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, it was!

Did you hear the Series 4 Crazed Heifer background music? When I was there in May [2004], it was playing in one of the exhibition rooms.
I've heard one of the bird sound effects from Season 4 (and maybe some of the others) in the original Age of Empires. Only noticed that this week, actually. Might not be the same clip, but it struck me as incredibly similar.

Seconded. We never actually saw the howling creatures of the Forest of Dunn, nor of The Crystal Maze's Medieval Zone, so who's to say they weren't Cheetah People too? Perhaps this calls for a crossover about a deadly group of woodland sprites, headed by a catty genie and known as the Majida People. Perhaps not.
