Hey folks
I'm Davey. I'm 35 and live in Ramsgate on the fat lip of Kent. I watched Knightmare from Series 1 and was an insane fan right up until Series 5 or 6, I think. I'm now rewatching them with my oldest (Sebastian, aged 4) who absolutely loves the series.
I did notice this time around that I really, REALLY enjoyed Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 (3 particularly was fantastic) but that the 'atmosphere' suffered terribly the more the actors were encouraged to take a larger part and the more the plots were developed. The older 'dungeon' feel seemed to wane after 3 and was completely gone by 5. Oddly, it felt on rewatching that they almost got it back too late during series 8.
Oh, well - either way Knightmare was breathtakingly brilliant. I LOVED the books (especially the first four) by Dave Morris and even the games (the C64 one more than the later Amiga version).
A big hello to anyone who - like me - is now rewatching the series...whether for themselves or their little ones! I find myself UBER curious as to what all the actors and adventurers are doing now??? Sidriss was LOVELY. :-)
