God I love Challenge! It's incredibly refreshing to see a TV channel that really cares about giving the viewers what they want. You get the sense they are fans just like the rest of us.

I also love the fact they've been inundated with requests for KM to be shown on TV again... just goes to show the demand *is* still there!

The thing is, Challenge is now showing Fort Boyard again, so does that mean Knightmare is also likely to get a repeat soon?

Did they start showing Fort Boyard after that poll, or was it on already? (The poll says "original Fort Boyard" so perhaps they're showing the UK version and thinking of getting the French one?)

In any case, it doesn't tell us anything about the rights negotiations for Knightmare. But they were already trying to get it before they posted the poll, and they tweeted a week ago that they're still looking into it, so fingers crossed!

Someone should tell them to ask about TimeBusters and/or Cyberzone while they're at it. :P

Damned cockteasers. Still, IP negotiations are never a quick and easy process. The fact they have clearly started is a very positive sign.

It's looking increasingly likely that KM will make a triumphant return, but like Dark Comet said negotiations are difficult. To acquire rights you need to please a whole load of people, in KM's case ITV, David Rowe, English Heritage plus a few others. I doubt it'll make it to screens in time for the anniversary but better late than never. :D

We get Challenge TV, but they change the programmes so often it's sometimes hard to watch anything. They used to have Strike It Lucky on a few weeks ago, then took it off. One of my favourite retro shows. Never watched Fort Boyard when it was on, and don't want it featured now, when better shows could be in it's place, I always thought it was 'The Crystal Maze at Sea'.

Haven't seen Knightmare on any TV for years now, they just won't bring it back, I don't even remember it on Challenge, must of been before we got the channel. I would really like to see re runs of this show again, I don't care if it is Challenge, although it sounds best suited for it.

Really missed the show when it ended in the early 1990s but you knew it couldn't go on forever. I do hope we can get this back on satellite channels sometime soon.

Does anyone have updates on this? Really hope it gets shown again. In the Mirror a while back it said that Tim Child was planning special! Hope it's true!
