"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.

RE: Gamesmaster. I still think that Bad Influence was a better show factually, though for entertainment value, Gamesmaster beat it just by having Patrick Moore.

The good thing about Bad Influence is they focused on hardware as well as software and often had sections on how things worked. It was certainly the best thing Andy Crane did! Violet Berlin (wife of Gareth 'Gaz Top' Jones) was always entertaining.

In fact, they need something like Bad Influence now, it would go quite well with the current interest in the new generation of consoles and technology.

ITV were supposed to be looking into bringing it (Knightmare) back again.

Was that the one with someone like Scofield and some bint presenting it?

Re; Knightmare - it's still alive on Sky - think it's Challenge TV or Bravo.

Wouldn't mind seeing a modernised version for the current generation though.

Ha ha, Excellent. I'd never seen that :)

Though of course, as a former Special Reserve employee, Dave deserves only good-natured mocking for his televised humiliation. And the trousers, those terrible trousers.

Yes I think it's on Challenge they usually put a couple of half hour episodes on one after the other.

That would be great, imagine what they could do with all the new technology since the original went off the air!

Andy Crane (of Ed the Duck fame) and Violet Berlin. With the mad bloke in the cupboard doing the cheats.

I always liked Gordon the Gopher better. :)

This thread is bringing a tear to my eye :P

Gamesmaster was great it was one of the shows I truly looked forward to each week.

Crystal Maze with Richard O'Brien is another fave of mine, I still watch the repeats on Challenge.
