Wow. That show is hilarious! They should air the repeats on BBC America! lol Those kids on there are total morons! And lifeless to boot!! I wonder if this show is available on DVD.
Great review, Spoony!!
i’ve never even heard of this show, thanks for the heads up. maybe i can find some vids online.
I remember seing this, it was on every morning on the TV channel CHALLENGE every morning before i went to school, but that was like 5 years ago. luckily Takeshi’s castle is on every morning before i go to college =)
Loved knitmare when i was a kid thought it was so awaesome. It was an ITV show though, was never shown on BBC.
Treguard is pretty damn awesome. Good find Spoony.
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.
Not a BBC show but ITV, produced by Broadsword…before kids tv went moronic and dumb
Xyzzy? how do you pronounce that?
I’m sorry, does anyone know where the tune that plays when Spoony first starts narrating in the british accent… starting around where ‘those with courage, etc…’? he used it in the Warrior review as well. It’s the exceedingly epic music that really sets the mood and such…
it might just be me but i am hearing star wars cantina music in the background around minute ten i anyone also hears it please respond but im also using headphone so that might be why

I’m trying to watch this review but every time that little sign flashes up in the corner saying “‘Bruce’s Price is Right’ up next!” I find myself going “shit no!” and reaching for TV remote so I can change the channel.
oh the puss, the pain, the black voodoo, the wet jigsaw puzzle
Acutally, the answer “Muses” was pretty easy. Even, if you only remotely dealt with greek history, you would know that.
Seems, like the US-American school education isn’t up to par. ;-)
“NOW…………” That’s all I can remember.
I actually grew up watching this in the UK at the time and hated every person on it for being either A) a Dumbass or B) The kid who is never going to have sex. EVER.
What always got me was as spoony said, what moron would go on this show and not have a gameplan!!??
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.
there’s actually a show on austrian television called “drachenschatz” which pretty much seems like an “indirect” sequel to knightmare.
Am I the only one who knew that Greek mythology riddle? I answered it almost instantly.
I don´t get that “Granatoss” joke with his name.Lol?
Wikipedia has some links such as to offical fan sites who are clamoring for the show to be released on dvd. It even mentions attempts to do the show in other countries such as that pilots were even filmed so this could have come out in the states.
