5th June 2005: Magdalen Street Studios Closing

Knightmare was filmed at Anglia TV's Magdalen Street Studios in Norwich. It was announced last month that these studios are to close due to overcapacity as a result of an OFCOM decision to allow ITV regions to reduce the amount of local non-news programming.

More details are available on the Knightmare Discussion Forum.

5th November 2005: The Bring Back Knightmare Campaign

The Bring Back Knightmare Campaign (BBK) is a long running campaign to get Knightmare back on TV. In recent times it has taken a back seat as Challenge started showing repeats and Knightmare VR was in development.

There are still a number of ways you can get involved.

Firstly you can visit the bringbackknightmare.co.uk site to read about the campaign and sign the petition, as well as a new message about the future of the campaign.

You can also discuss ideas on the Bring Back Knightmare subforum.
