hey guys have y'all been keepin an eye on the challenge forum? looks like we got the same situation happin there with the KM series 5 post.
Fingers crossed for the same outcome huh? but does any1 agree that it might be best if challenge were to bite the bullet, get all 8 series and show them from start to finish?

obviously we think thats better however it'd be difficult to get challenge to think that way
if they were getting 0.5+ mill viewers for every ep then they wouldn't need convincing but as they aren't getting that...

Well, I hope people don't nag so much that Challenge get completely sick of it all. That might do far more harm than good.
On your last point, although I don't think they'd be best getting all 8 series at once, if they do decide it fits in with their plans to have more KM series in future, there's a strong case for them to stop buying a series at a time and instead buy two or even three. The problem I'd foresee is if it ever gets to the stage of having all 8 series on continuous loop (which would be a great situation to get to!). If they'd pesisted with their current strategy of getting one series at a time, the ratings across the 8 series run might fluctuate quite a bit, since they'd be possibly showing Series 2 (say, if that's the last they acquired) for the first time, but Series 3 for possibly the 25th time.

IF they did get all 8 series in the near future surely it wud be better to start at series 1.
I would predict an ENORMOUS response for the first 2 series, particularly since most of us didnt get to see them first time round then perhaps a lull for series 3+4 followed by another boom for series 5-8. wouldnt the possible disinterest in the middle(certainly not on my part however) be balanced out by the bonus of having all 8 series in the correct order to watch.
I dunno about u guys but i believe having all 8 series on challenge is gunna happen regardless, y not speed things up a bit - im gonna be at uni from september and mite not have challenge I WANT KM BE4 I GO!

I get the impression Challenge are going to make a decision based on what numbers they see in front of them. A handful of people of their forums asking for a new series....They are very unlikely to think of that as major support, at all.
So we just have to be hopeful, and THANKFUL we have HAD 2 full seasons already, with more than one showing of each. No other channel has bothered in 5 years....So lets wait upon their decision.
