The Foreign Knightmare Formats

[Trial_by_Spikes]

I think that any DVD release should at least show us some of the french and spanish versions of knightmare if not a whole series. Has anyone actually seen any of these series?

Wow - I've got two stars! I can now enter level 1! Where all the crap teams died!

[Malefact]

Naaa! I got four!  ;D

Ahem! I agree it would be very good to see some clips or an episode or two of the foreign ones - as long as they have subtitles!

So: series 1 can fit onto one disc. A bonus disc can have:

The two pilots
The Chromakey experiment
Interviews
Deleted scenes
...plus some foreign-format episodes.

I must say that it would be a HUGE draw for us fans to have all that.

Mr. and Mrs. By-Spikes must be very proud.

I'm sure you can empathise, eh, GG?!  ;)

Can you imagine a German version? That would be great:

"Ja, im Seriesen Vier hat der Advisor das Simon "Sidestrafen links" geguidet, und der Dungeoneer hat plummeten den Tackelblöck hinunter. Was für ein Prat."

[Malefact]

Double  ;D

Does anybody know exactly how popular the foreign versions of Knightmare were in the countries they were shown in? How many series did they run for?

[Illusion]

I don't think they were very popular judging by how long they lasted. I think there was only one series of the french and spanish versions.

I have more info about both shows and will put more info on the site eventually. There is already some info about the french version at http://www.knightmare.v-2-1.net/reviews/labyrinthe/

It's like when they tried to do an American remake of Dad's Army. In the best tradition of American humour, their version of "Don't tell him, Pike!" went down like a stone vulture!

Naja hier im fernsehserie vier hab' wir sehen der muschi Simon noch links von seiteschripp in der loch hirunter bei Block-tackle! Och - und so dumm bist, der Advisors plappst viel zu viel..."

Though I doubt the language would be that coarse lol...

Translation please - I don't speak German - everyone else on this forum seems to do - including a man who's supposedly a fan of chinese culture.

Hmm, wir mußten deutsche Sprachtests nehmen.
Nicht erhielten Sie irgendwelche?

That wasn't real German - more just cod-German. I did learn the language for four years, with the result that I can read and understand it (well, most of it) but I find it difficult to actually form sentences or speak it for myself.

As far as Chinese goes, the only thing I can say in that language is "I am having a heart attack" ("Wo jue-de bu shu-fu" is the rough pronunciation). I can also write one word of Japanese, but I'm not sure what it means so that's a bit dodgy.
