"knightmare - who remembers it??"

I used to watch a tv show called knightmare, it was this virtual reality adventure show with 3 kids who had to negotiate 3-D rooms. One would be wearing a big viking helmet and carrying a knapshack and the other two would have to direct him through the rooms, by telling him to go to the left three steps, etc. It was hosted by some guy who looked like a monk.

Yeah, Challenge is good.
Good ol' Crystal maze.

recent shows of win lose or draw are back on challenge. Entertaining stuff, can;t understand why i didn't enjoy it the first time.

Andy Crane does something on Challenge it's quite good as he's rather sarcastic and bitter. :D

It makes me laugh how they "handicap" the blokes and let the women go first by about 10 seconds. After half way the blokes are nearly always in front!

I think I've only seen maybe 2-3 shows where a woman has won the obstacle course and then they were army officers etc.

Wonder where Gordon Burns is now.......?

Wait! Did I just say that?

Their obstacle course was so much better than the one at the end of Gladiators.

Craziest stuff was on the Battledome thing where people broke ankles etc and they seemed to have a reserve contestant come on to replacesomeone about every two weeks.

Harsh stuff.

!!!!! Yes!! I've started watching that again too! Krypton rules! Such a great program!

It's really quite disturbing to look back and think what now looks so old and dated used to be top notch graphics and fashion :|

For some reason I've started to watch the Krypton Factor repeats on Challenge I think it is.

Ah memories......

you have seen virtually impossible right? Lord fear at least was entertaining in knightmare. virtually impossible was pretty poor in acting (what acting it did have anyway) and the technology displayed and used was god awful. The game was virtually impossible and scores weren't particulary high.

I think the bloke who was the presenter now plays Zack Dingle in Emmerdale :D
