Advice: use your EPG to check every night before recording to see what time Knightmare is on. They tend to change the time regularly and without warning. Even Challenge's own TV guide on their website can be slightly wrong.

JamesP has confirmed that they have taken off the 1.25AM showing because the 7.30PM is doing extremly well and the majority of die hard Knightmare fans are always tuning into the 7.30PM episode so they are sticking with that, They also have no plans to move Knightmare from its 7.30PM slot either.

If anyone was watching the late night showing, then I have a piece of advice. All you need to do is leave a tape on record all night, and then in the morning, just copy that episode onto your other tape that you're recording the episodes onto and Voila you have your episode on your tape where you want it, you can even cut out the adverts.
I had to do this for Series 4 when it was shown early at 6PM, I was never at home to watch/record it so I had to keep leaving a tape on record all day and then copy it over, it was a pain, but at least I have all those episodes on tape now

According to Challenge's website next weeks episodes will be repeated at 5am. However this could change at short notice so:

1. Use your EPG to check what time it is being shown at.
2. Use a video timer and set it up correctly.
3. Set the TV channel to Challenge and make sure nobody changes the channel number on your Sky/Cable box.

You could use the autoview in your Sky Personal Planner as well...

You'll probably have to wait until November for a repeat.
I prefer the late version as it's the most blemish free - no voice over and no 'next - Takeshi's castle'.

It's helped me in a way - its a pain in the backside to record at 1:25am seeing as there is a timer problem on my VCR! But if it is on at 5am I can just get an early night and wake upo to hit record, no probs...

Challenge - where the only challenge is working out when your favourite programme will be repeated. ::)

Just a quick warning from me: according to the Challenge website, the repeats from now on will no longer be at 5am, they'll be at either 1.40 or 1.55. It will be shown at 1.40 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings (the repeats from Monday, Wednesday and Friday respectively) and at 1.55 on Wednesday and Friday (the repeats from Tuesday and Thursday). The reason for this is due to the Poker programmes, as Celebrity Poker Club 2 runs 15 minutes shorter than World Poker Club 2, so everything after World Poker Club 2 is 15 minutes more than programmes after Celebrity Poker Club 2. Hope that made sense!

Thanks for the warning I'll check my EPG before setting my video timer up.

So in short it will be...
- Tuesday: 1.40
- Wednesday: 1.55
- Thursday: 1.40
- Friday: 1.55
- Saturday: 1.40
