Knightmare Review

Spoony | Aug 17 2008 | more |

It’s time to rediscover the old BBC show Knightmare as The Spoony One braves the deadly Dungeons of Deceit. Whether you’ve seen it or not, we’re in for a wild ride.

Oooooh, nasty!

Invisible Crane

WOW!!!, I’d have never expected Spoony One to review Knightmare. I loved this show as a kid so I really enjoyed this review.

My only problem with the review was that Spoony One never covered the entire series

Wow… those kids are really a bunch of fucktards… Seems they skipped school.. How in god’s name could someone be so iliterate, for the love of god?
Never even knew this show existed, but i’m damn glad.. otherwise i’d have gotten some quite frustrating times out of watching those idiotic kids fucking up even the spelling part. What can I say… Wow…

I think he did show part of it, but it was in a montage with other scenes of kids dying. You see him falling off the left with the blue blocks flying around.

Yeah, both Smeagol and Deagol were Stoor Hobbits. Therefore, Bilbo was the wrong answer. I also seem to remember Gimli mentioning that female dwarfs have beards. How in the world are these kids supposed to get these questions right when the show has the wrong answer?

This show was one of the best parts of my childhood. I sooooo wanted to take part in this show.
I know I would have done better than most of the other kids on the show.

Funny, I remember a show like that(quite probably the same exact show) that ran over here(Puerto Rico) under the name “Reto Sega”(The Sega Challenge). I’ve been unable to get any info on that so this kinda is my first clue in years!

Not only Gimli, I think I’ve also read about female dwarve facial fuss in Dragonlance and Drizzt’s series.

And I have an edition of lord of the rings with a prelude from the hobbit. Between that and the book itself (which I haven’t even read entirely), I’m certain Bilbo’s not the answer. I didn’t realize it was Deagol though, so how would these kids.

Great video.

And yes, there’s Zelda music and the mos eisley cantina from Star Wars, as well as the epic music which also appears in the WARRIOR review (which I hope Spoony can tell us the name of).

From wikipedia:

If the team managed to complete all three levels and master the dungeon, they were awarded with a prize, which changed over the years from the “Silver Spurs of Squiredom”, to medallions, to “Frightknight” trophies (a design of a Knight holding a sword).

[...]

In its eight-year history, only eight teams managed to successfully conquer the dungeon: two in Series 2, one each in Series 4-6, two in Series 7, and a final one in Series 8.

I grew up with this (yus, I am British!) :D At the Hobbit question, even I did a WTF at the answer. I knew it was Deagol but the show had the wrong answer. Anyway, this show almost single-handedly turned me into a massive fantasy geek and was part of my progression to D&D later on.

Oh and about female dwarfs… Yeah, I debated this too :P

There is something wrong with our country’s quiz shows. I remember when SMTV Live did a quiz and asked “What is the hottest planet in the solar-system?”
A kid answered Venus and they said it was wrong as it was Mercury.

Spoony, check out ebay for the complete Knightmare on DVD-R. You only reviewed seasons 1-4. In the UK theres another 4 seasons taking the total to 8 runs. And they were better in all; more characters, better graphics and even a ‘boss’ of all the baddies called Lord Fear who sat in this kick ass mansion surrounded by evil ‘Frightknights’. Treguard even became a sugar daddy to a ‘elf’ called Pickle and then a genie called Majida.

This review always has me in stitches.
I also love how Spoony doesn’t realise the spelling fuck ups he mentions were made by the same team. That makes me chuckle harder with that thought.
There are some mistakes in what he says though. The kids were trying to spell “SPADE” and not “SHOVEL”, and in the early seasons it didnt really matter how you dispelled as long as the words of the spell were in the wrong order. But all that aside, I still agree with Spoony’s argument that these retards of children shouldn’t be fucking up stuff as simple as that.
But still it’s Akash’s group in season 2 where they actually answer Bulldozer to one of the riddles. BULLDOZERS WERE NEVER IN THE WORLD OF MYSTICISM AND FANTASY!!!
Gotta love Knightmare. :D

Oh and if you want a chuckle and rant I’d watch the french version of Knightmare which you can find on the Knightmare fansite. The riddles particularly fustrate me because some of them don’t really have any kind of fictional history or relevance to that time period like how many bones are in the body. Biology in a flipping fantasy game!??? I don’t think so.
The dungeon master’s way to helpful, unlike Tregaurd who gave the kids a nudge and a wink to the right direction if they were particularly stuck. Also, in that one even on the first room you don’t flip around. Just watch and see what I mean. None of the British oooooo look at the pretty card now find the door where you talk to the annoying jester in level 1.
It was a spinoff of the British version so you already know which is superior.

I mean you would apply, you would watch the show (hopefully) and think, hey guys the last thirty teams died because they could not turn forty five degrees to the bloody left and hopefully learn a frigging lesson. Right? (yes I did try to get on it)

Anyway, great review as always. It’s refreshing to watch reviews that are well made, original and has not been done to death on youtube where everyone just stirs the same shit kettle until it boils.

How they did it I’ll never know.

Spoony wondered that how could any kid know what muses are. In Europe, Ancient Greece and Rome are basically third grade history. I can conclude that American schools don't teach Greek mythology in elementary schools.

Those kids were probably just fucking dumbasses, but I remember a similar question from my history test when I was 9 years old, and I remember getting it right.

I remember one team had an awesome guy under the hat – usually the helmet dude would only ever parrot what he was told, but this one had a brain.

The table of three objects sometimes had gold, and you NEVER picked up the gold, because it was never useful. The one time this team ignored it, he had to bribe a troll to get past him. The helmet bearer basically talked the troll into taking a “magic” macguffin, but not using it until after he was past. That guy was awesome and I think they won.

I think they purposefully picked idiot kids so it would be more tension filled and nerve wracking when their team is sending them the wrong way (or can't spell something backwards, WHEN THEY HAVE IT WRITTEN DOOOOWWN!)

Than the kids who won would feel special.

Can’t say I’ve seen it on recently, but given all the repeats of Unbeatable Banzuke and Ninja Warrior Challenge shows, they’ll prolly stuff it back on again eventually, if the rights don’t get sold on to the next station.

A quick wiki indicates the rights have expired; no idea if Challenge plan on re-buying them or if anyone else has / intends to get hold of them.

Sorry, Spoony, but you’re the one that needs to read the book. Smeagol and Deagol are Stoors. Hobbits only come from Hobbiton, which didn’t even exist when Smeagol took the ring.

Anonymous

Wrong, Hobbiton was named after the Hobbits, not vice versa. They originally came from Anduin, and crossed the Misty Mountains to what would later be known as Buckland in the year 1050 of the Third Age. The Stoors, along with their more plentiful cousins the Harfoots, were both ethnic groups of Hobbit. Oh, and the Shire was founded nearly 1000 years before Smeagol claimed the One Ring, and Hobbiton is simply a small village in the larger Hobbit region (I would almost say nation, but it had no centralize government).

Wow, I know way too much about this stuff…I think I need to go outside for a bit.

HelvecticaNeuieu Stoors are not a seperate race to Hobbits, it’s an ancestral Hobbit sir-name and Breed, there are Stoors in Hobbiton too. Try reading ‘The Hobbit Companion’ which includes lots of Tolkien’s own source-notes and jottings regarding the history of Hobbits as a race.

I might also mention that at no point in the LOTR or the Hobbit does it say that Smeagol is a Stoor, this is only assumed because he likes to swim and lives close to the River – a Stoorish trait. The Likelihood is that he is of an ancient creed closely related to the Stoors. Stoors are defined by being the second most numerous hobbit-breed, broader than most other hobbits and less shy of other races.

I really really wish they made a version of this you could play at home- like on the wii or something. My family and I have lots of fun with DVD board games.

I’m sure it was mentioned millions of time, but the BBC didn’t do Knightmare. ITV did.

We’re Americans. To us, “BBC” just means “it showed in England.”

Nawh dude he was saying “Hero your will energy is low, WATCH that” he was warning you. Additionally the guildmaster was not annoying.

Oh god, I remember watching Knightmare when it first was aired. What you probably don’t know is that there was a Knightmare game on Teletext (a television data retrieval system set up in the UK during 70′s, wiki it if your interested) which was basically a dungeon crawl game, with very poor graphics.

Remember the old C64 game Knightmare? There`s Something to review as a bonus.

And the ZX Spectrum, and the Amstrad CPC, to name but two others. I probably still have the spectrum tape of it, and I know I have several working Spectrums to play it on…

But yah, plenty of roms of it knocking about online, also check out the classic “How to be a complete bastard” game, that was awesome.

I wonder how much computing power was involved in making all those effects run in real-time? It’s all a bit more involved than throwing up a map behind the weatherguy on the local news.

About £80,000 worth, in those days – lots more details here:

You know what would be cool? A Knightmare game for the Kinect. It’d have to be online play–the dungeon-crawler would be on one machine with his helpers watching him on their own X-Box…

I remember there was a show on Nickelodeon back in the day that was kinda like this but it revolved around video games. And the winning team at the end got to do like a green screen side scroller run through type thing. But yea they always picked the dumbest bastards to play the game.

You’re thinking of “Nick Arcade” ( or as I call it: “HOW THE F$%@ DO YOU FAIL AT GRADIUS THAT BADLY”).

Seriously, watching those kids back in the day used to piss me off. I was younger than than some of them, and yet when it came to the Video Game Challenge (a segment where they’d have to play an arcade game and get a certain number of points within a short time) I used to be driven batty. These dorks are the reason tutorials and easy modes were put into games. They sucked that badly.

They probably chose the stupidest fucking kids on the Isles just for comedic effect. Wouldn’t surprise me.

1.) If they ever remake this, you should totally be involved somehow, you’d be awesome for the role.
2.) SOME Female Dwarves have beards, but it’s far more common to have equally plentiful and rich knuckle hair. =3=

Both male and female dwarves have enough body hair that the only reason Beards are notable is that it extends two feet from the face.

Just kidding. This show seems like it was allot of fun. Haven’t seen anything like it on tv.
Nice introduction btw

Good review, except for a few things:

1 – You didn’t have to spell out the word backwards to dispel magic; you just had to spell the word out in a different order to its correct spelling. It was established very early on in the first season.

2 – In the later seasons (4-8) kids really started getting into the swing of things in terms of Roleplaying. You can watch all the series on YouTube and trust me, it’s well worth it. Especially when they introduced Lord Fear.

Man they need to bring this show back in the US or UK (or both)! With how big LOTR and Harry Potter are, this would sell like hotcakes! And kids would be enthused today.

You know if you wanted to spoony you could review either each season or even each episode. Would definitely get some fantastic laughs out of that. Plus it would stretch the material more, anyhow I really enjoyed it :D.

That is a very good English accent. I loved Knightmare when I were a lass. However like a true nerd I feel duty bound to point out Knightmare was broadcast on the UK commercial station, ITV, not the BBC (who would never have touched this lowbrow RPG pagan shlock). The BBC realised how wrong they were 20 years later and responded with Raven, but it can’t hold a candle to Knightmare.

Hey the BBC gave us Dr. Who and The Stephen Fry Interviews….with presentations like that, who cares what else is on?
