Title: Knightmare.. Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 11, 2006, 06:47:15 Was of course a classic kiddie tv show in the early 90's and late 80's.
Having been watching it's repeat on challenge at some early time in the morning while chatting to village on msn, I thought I'd do a bit of research into it... There is a big Bring Back Knightmare petition. I think there main goal now is to get the series released on dvd. Not a bad idea... http://www.bringbackknightmare.co.uk/ An attempt at a relaunch was made.. the pilot can be downloaded here... http://pooka.ezri.mine.nu/zeug/Knightmare%20VR%20Pilot.wmv. Unfourtunately it's shit. too much 3d graphics and not enough of the atmosphere which made knightmare so fun. Unsuprisingly no tv stations were interesteed. From what I can tell, the main fan site is now at http://www.knightmare.com/ Title: Knightmare..

Sidestep right, sidestep right, sidestep right!" " Pick up banana, throw 4 paces forwards"

Fucking brilliant, back in the day there was nothing like it. I saw one a few years back, which may have been the re-launch and they had the travesty to replace the presenter. I’m presuming he’s not dead? How many people ever finished I can only ever remember two back in the day. Title: Knightmare..

I didn't like it one bit. Speaking of old-school Australian tv anyone remember 'Pugwall'. I used to love that show despite it being clearly awful. My hoousemate Pug is nicknamed after him 8) Title: Knightmare.. Post by: larwood on Wednesday, January 11, 2006, 14:21:12 I was a bit scared of the presenter i think,didn't he have a huge black beard and dress like an extra from Robin Hood? Plus i never saw anyone finish the fucking game,ever.

"Nobody tells me what to do, not not me, nobody tells me what to say, can't you see, I've got a dream I'm gonna make it, if I get a chance I'm gonna take it" The Orange Organics used to rock, badly. Title: Knightmare.. Post by: Cookie on Wednesday, January 11, 2006, 14:42:09 Pugwall rocked.
I once made a tape of loads of Pugwall songs recorded straight off the TV, what a class programme. "with drums a thumping, bass player pumping, keyboards and me on my guitar" Title: Knightmare..
