Brilliant TV show and the intro music and animation was just fantastic.... I remember the first time this was on and becuase of the intro I thought it was a cartoon.
There was always some posh wanky kid who took his room description duty too far, instead of just directing his mate to the fuckin door. Great program though.
holy shit i was tyin to find this program for ages, just could'nt remember the name. bring this shit back im 25 but kids these days dont know what the fuck their missing.
one of the reasons why I loved fridays as this was on Friday evening and about an hour later another one of my favourite programs Blockbussyrts came on Awesome days

we need these shows back knightmare,crystal maze,fun house,and big breakfast 4 morning tv,who agrees? and big break,noels house party and why not play some classic cartoons 4 us adults who pay the fucking tv licence,ghostbusters,bravestaarr,heman,transformers and thundercats.
I hope they don't do that! Cus if they did I (and a lot more people) would be glued to the tv most of the time like I was when I was younger. It's only the fact that they produce shite these days that allows me to go out and live a normal life! :)
@sofasport Yes it is a lot like it: I did a video on the computer of the Knightmare titles with this tune and works really well especially the bit where the dungeon prisoner can be seen at the window with bars on it, but due to copyright issues it can't be posted.
OMG I loved this show! Always wanted to go on knightmare. Showed a few of "my era" kids shows to my 9 year old nephew (forgot this one though...how could I??) and he wanted to watch my kids programmes over his own era's. Such a shame the likes of this will never be seen on tv again, especiallywith all the cr@p they put on for kids these days!
@richiebabe24 Yes. Eight teams mastered the dungeon.
Two teams in series 2 (1988), one team in series 4 (1990), one team in series 5 (1991), one team in series 6 (1992), two teams in series 7 (1993) and one team in series 8 (1994).
i used to LOVE Knightmare!!! always remember looking forward to it all day at school when i was a kid, coal fire blazing, cold and wet outside eating my tea and watching knightmare! those were the days haha
Citv and Cbbc used to get telivision awards from around the world for there programeing during the 80s but then Sky came along and basicaly brainwashed kids of the 90s and beyond to want to see trashy crap american cartoons from disney and others rather than homegrown as they had a higher budget for special effects and the like shame but i suppose thats progress huh.
best kids TV show ever! Tim child (the producer) still lives in Norwich and Broadsword productions are now under a different name and work mostly in CGI stuff for TV and film....
I cried when the show got cancelled.. they need a DVD of all 6 series imo.
this was brill!i dont remember the cartoon intro as a kid tho!it was one where jus looking at a castle from the top at start then goes into the dragons mouth!i cant find that intro any where!but this is great thanks for upload!memorys!
Sorry I should've made my comment clearer - I didn't mean to refer to the programme itself but of the time when it was made and the culture of that time.
In that case, I agree! The spirit of childhood adventure is dead, so we're definitely not going to see anything the calibre of Knightmare again! Educate our children with Slayer instead.
And me too.......! *sob* I am a hardened Kinghtmare fan! Memories are made of me sitting every Friday night watching Knightmare, the last show on Chidrens ITV , waiting for dad to come home so me and him can get fish and chips for tea!
the person who disliked this sidestepped too far to the left and lost all his parts from his skull in the process then fell off a cliff

God we had it good back then, at least in terms of kids TV shows. I agree that this needs a revival, and with as little CGI as possible.
Puppets and chromakey all the way.
