Knightmare Reviews

This show was originally broadcast over 7 years from 1987 to 1994 and followed the exploits of numerous young people as they attempted to make their way through a dungeon located under Knightmare Castle. Although the adventurers were always 'summoned' by the Dungeon Master Treguard of Dunshelme there is the suggestion that they were ...  Read the complete review

Probably my favourite kids TV programme when I was growing up back in the late 1980s and early 1990s had to be CITV's Knightmare. Knightmare was an adventure game show, based in a virtual reality castle. The idea of the game was greatly like the Dungeon and Dragons adventure books. It was played by a team of 4 children. 1 child was ...  Read the complete review

Now, they don't make 'em like this anymore!! Every geeky 9-year-old's dream (and every University Student's fond memory!), Knightmare was, in my opinion, one of THE best kid's TV shows ever to be created. Spawned from the late 80s / early 90s, when tabletop roleplaying games were a relatively common pursuit amongst teenagers, Knightmare ...  Read the complete review

Well where do I begin!For me Knightmare was the ultimate Childrens TV Show and the day it was taken off the air it was a truly sad day for me :( My brother got into trouble by my dad for watching it while doing it at the same time and never watched it again!I never missed an episode and have to admit the from the First Series to the Fourth ...  Read the complete review

this is pure nostalgia for me! when i saw that this programme was featured on this site i felt euphoric for an instance. this programme rocked! for something shown at 4 in the afternoon it was a little scary! i remember that i loved it but cant quite remember the entire format. it appeared to be like a live computer game with a team of ...  Read the complete review

Oh this show does tickle me, when I was young back in the early nineties I thought this show was something else, a real adventure and I was desperate to get me and my friends on it ( we never did appear) The graphics were pretty modern for the time, even though watching it on challenge TV now you wouldn't know it. Basically a group of very badly ...  Read the complete review

When I was young I watched a huge array of programmes aimed at the child audience; I had my favourite cartoons, ?Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,? ?Victor and Hugo,? ?Count Duckula? and the unimaginative ?Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles,? but when the live action shows came on I would ...  Read the complete review

It's been a while since Knightmare was last shown on terrestrial TV - nearly nine years in fact. I have a few old episodes on tape but as I was only around six or seven when I was watching the majority of them, my memories are a little scattered. I'm going to tell you as much about the final three series of this incredible adventure show ...  Read the complete review

Knightmare is finaly back after leaving ITV in 1994 in its last series (series 8). Knightmare was cancelled by the ITV producers due to the fact that most of its target audience (kids 5-16) had moved onto alternative shows on the newly awaited Sky tv and Cable tv which had stormed the country in the early 90's offering a variety of shows. The ...  Read the complete review

....I, Sarah_Louise, watched Challenge TV on Sunday morning! There, now thats off my chest I'll continue.... I’ve been meaning to write about this for aaaages! It was on Sunday morning, whilst waiting for Hollyoaks to start, that I decided to do a bit of channel hopping on Sky. So, there I was, randomly flicking ...  Read the complete review

Knightmare, the best children’s game show ever to date? Well, not officially so, (in fact, according to the Channel 4 poll, it came in as 16th) but as one of the shows biggest fans, I’d hope I can clarify exactly why it would and should earn such a title! To introduce the brilliance that was Knightmare: it was a breakthrough ...  Read the complete review

bongo have a good name, and they make a bongo sound, which is strange, considering the fact that they actually are bongos. the great musician, michael jackson is an avid lover of bongos, and he once carried a pair around new york city on a busy day, which inticed the rastafarien communtity to follow him around all day, and offer him free ...  Read the complete review

I used to hearing the bell ring on a Friday, running to my Nans house, to sit down with a traditional plate of chips while watching Knightmare with my Nan! Knightmare was the first challenging tv shows for kids! Which a team of 4. This involved one person entering the game and the other three guiding them on a mystical quest for a magical ...  Read the complete review

The bearded man strolls in and introduces himself, four youths sit in awe at the technological dream in which they are about to participate; one stands up, dons the helmet and walks into the dungeon (or room with blue screen things). The knightmare begins. Where am I? You're in a room with a table and a big swinging pendulum ...  Read the complete review

When I was a kid, I loved watching this. This show was always a highlight of the week. It was great to come home from school and watch Knightmare. The show gained a bit of a reputation for being scary. It was almost like a cross between a quiz show and a videogame but there were important elements and rules that made it stand out. The ...  Read the complete review

OK, I will admit now, that it was I who got Knightmare onto DooYoo, and yes, partly because I wanted to help the BBK - Bring Back Knightmare cause. However, i also did it because i wanted to see how many people remember the programme. When Knightmare began in 1988 i was 5 years old, and was scared sh**less. I had to have my Dad sit with ...  Read the complete review
