RAH, It really riles me when people get gameshow Trivia wrong!
Gladiators showed each and every event in full, its just some events, Like Duel and Danger Zone didnt last very long. (3 seconds in some cases)
The entire list of events for Gladiators is (Deep Breath)

The Wall, Swing Shot, Duel, Danger Zone, Atlaspheres, Hang Tough, Powerball, Persuit, Pendulum, Pole Axe, Suspension Bridge, Hit and Run, Sumo Ball, Tightrope, Catapult, Vertigo, Dog Fight, Joust, Tilt, Whiplash, Pyramid,  Skytrak, Gauntlet, The Eliminator.

Thats 24, (Im tempted, but not mad enough to List the Fort Boyard games to prove there were more) but im not convinced ive got them all, i refuse to look it up! :P

One Event was created for the UK but never used.

Cyclotron

Three Events are/were Shown in other countires

Breakthrough and Conqure, Human Canonball, Snapback

As for the list of shows Im waiting for Challenge? to show, Only Scavengers remains unshown (the rest being, Crystal Maze, Gladiators, Knightmare and The Adventure Game)

Im gonna stand up for Ed Tudor-Pole, Fort Boyard (FANTASTIC) Desert Forges (Not Enoug Variety but still good) and Sandra Carron (Mumsie and Auntie Sabrina Actress) just to cause some contovesy :oD

What about Ice Warriors and Takeshis Castle!

Lets face it these are also rubbish and could end up replacing Knightmare!

Lets boo them!

Mumsy and Auntie Sabrina were great. I'm afraid I still think Ed's horse, Bert, would have been a better presenter than ET-P himself.

I posted a much longer message earlier, but the forum ate it. You'll be glad to hear I won't post it all again.

Thanks, David - how could I have forgotten Scavengers? A classic.

Scavengers was great, though I don't remember much about it - was Knightmare-like in having "plot" elements, as far as I can remember, though the token baddie never really scared me.

I remember the shuttle was the Vulture, but I can't remember what the name of the derelict space station was - it's been bothering me for years. Any ideas?

I have been to the Challenge? website after reading the above, and there was no Knightmare mentioned for next Saturday :(. I heard about lots of errors being made by the announcers (although I do not have Challenge at all ) :(, so I wondered if this was an error and instead that was the episode shown on Sunday.

Incidentally, when errors were made about the times by Challenge?, did they say anything unusual at the time that was mentioned in error (e.g. an apology, and mentioning the correct time?) Or did they just leave you in the lurch?

I don't know, but maybe the Challenge links between shows are pre-recorded so maybe the wrong one gets played from time to time.

Joe - to get Quotes in white boxes, simply click on 'Quote' instead of 'Reply' when you respond to the message - then you edit the code you see so that the bit you want in white boxes are within the [quote] tags. You can always use the Preview function to see what your post will look like before finally posting it.

I can definitely field the last one! The lurch! They took a while to change the announcements, and there was definitely no apology. When they changed it, the new announcement didn't give any idea at all of when the next episode would be.

I think the final error on the Saturday was just because they repeated the same message they'd read the few Saturdays before. (Yes, it would be logical to advertise the Sunday episode on Saturday, but Challenge? chose to mention the one the following week instead!) It's kinda hard to explain all the incompetence, really, so I won't wind myself up trying.

On the forum options, quoting, and such, the "help" option on the blue bar at the top of the page is definitely worth investigating if (like me) you get confused by all the options and functions.

I'm still pretty narked that Challenge have taken Knightmare off.  >:( Even the Brollachan could notice Challenge TV's ignorance.

Still I can't wait to see Knightmare again at Easter. Maybe Challenge will realize Knightmare is worth keeping on and also showing more series'.  :)
All other knowledge is denied you!

Lets make sure we get as many people as possible to tune in over easter, lets make sure the ratings are really representitive of KM's MASSIVE fanbase.

And scavengers, i remember that - it was cool!

And heres my addition, prob not that funny but i like it.

Set at the end of series 7 just after the Troll has crushed Fear etc.
Lord Fear:Lissard, LISSARD! WHERE ARE YOU COME AND HELP ME!

Lissard: I c...c...can't massssssster

Lord Fear: Y NOT!

Lissard: You know that ssssssslimy, ssssssscaly thing underneath you?

Lord Fear:YES?

Lissard: Well that'ssssss the sssssslimy challenge TV producersssss - They won't sssssssshow anymore Knightmare for the Kidsesssssss!

Lord Fear: Those Evil #!@?~ers I'll get even with them for this if its the last thing I DO!
