There hasn't been a great deal to talk about from my perspective for quite a while. Before I start on my thoughts well done to the Knightmare Live gang for doing an excellent job elsewhere and good luck in the fringe - I full enjoyed my time performing there 10 years ago..where does my age go *sob

As for the latest 'official' episode. It came from nowhere having had a short announcement a few days before. I have to say I really, really enjoyed it. It was mickey taking but in such an affectionate 'this is how it used to work' sort of way.

The performances of Hugo, Mark and Cliff were at all times credible and true to to the characters we knew as well as sterling work from the supporting cast. The scenarios a refreshing mix of cheekiness and loving throw backs to all manner of things with excellent graphics and appropiate effects thrown in.

There were obvious cuts and that is about the only negative I can say of this. There needs to be a 20 year timegap before I can go into nitpicker central. If anything, it proved there is more than life in the concept still but either way a great job. Thankyou for making me go further back in my youth than my Edinburgh days!

Tim, if it's all possible can you provide dvds of a final edit of this at all...or will this be a bonus feature on a proper release? ;)

I think someone else further up on this thread requested sight of the additional cut footage and if it would be possible, it would be amazing to see this, please, in whatever format possible!!

Just had a scary thought. Can you imagine how big a DVD would be if it included all the cut 'good' footage from all eight seasons, plus Dungeon Doom, plus KMVR, plus KMGW?

Lol perhaps around 15 DVDs for the episodes alone then perhaps another 5 for the extras? Lol would be a fair sized box set!! ;D

We went down that route a few years ago, and it had nowhere near enough support.

Sadly.

That is sad to hear. I am still holding onto the hope the Geek Week episode might prompt the DVDs to happen. ???

What about the deleted scenes from this geek week episode then? Likely to see the light of day?

Sorry to press the point but they sound great!

Dungeon Doom was the original name of the Knightmare pilot episode from 1986. Thankfully the name didn't last long.

I didn't realise it had a name, lol so does anyone know what 'swords and sorcery' was? When I applied to be on the show we received the 'blue letter of death' confirming the shows cancellation and was being replaced by a new show 'swords and sorcery' I believe they called it. Instead it was replaced by a fish. ???

I think you're referring to The Sword of the Sorcerer.

For those already asking, a full edit of and including all the material shot and played in Norwich on July 24/25 will be completed by september and will be made available via an Internet link in due course. This includes the Fountain of energy - described by Theodora Snitch (but deleted), allowing leaks from the Fountain in Level One to fall into Levels two and three, providing emergency energy renewal.
Its a feature you are all going to like, but as a gamestmaster, its partricularly useful for one can place it in perilous positions, forcing the players to take the risk, or not. Look on the end credit screen of the Youtube version and you will see it previewed.

Superb, thank you! More KM goodies to look forward to.

I did notice the water drop in the wall monster room - reminiscent of Barry's winning quest.

Ohhhhhhhhh, does this finally explain why the dripping water was enough to restore Barry's life force in Series 7? Awesome!
