This, a highly entertaining 16-minute video review of Knightmare (focussing on Series 1-3) by an American named Noah Antwiler, could be the next best thing:

(Warning: does indeed contain effing and blinding, As well as a clip from a Certificate 15 film.)

Thank you to Jade for sharing the link, having become a Knightmare fan herself as a result of seeing it.

About a third of the way through (the buffering is being slow), just after the movie clip. Very entertaining, even if there are some factual inaccuracies (Apparantly it was a BBC series, for example), but would be improved by being done by Brooker.

(And, yeah, somehow when you said 'a certificate 15 film' I knew it would be something in the Final Destination series.)

It turns out that the review is on YouTube too (spread across two videos), and includes an annotation that corrects the BBC mistake.

That review was highly amusing and points out some if the finer things of knightmare that we all adore and miss. Reminds me of Charile Brookers screenwipes version

Ah, The Spoony Experiment. One of my favourite contributors to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. This was the review that endeared himself to me instantly, with his MST3K-ing of Phantasmagoria 2 a close second.

One we could do with adding to the newspage, I reckon. Nothing wrong with a little bit of "I c wat u did thar - GG".

Dodgy RP accents ahoy!

I don't really like TGWTG.com, but I quite liked Spoony even before he reviewed Knightmare, so you can imagine my surprise when he posted the vid. Oh yes, and this in particular seems incredibly familiar...
