Definitely the best video I've seen by you so far. Only The Thing and X-Files comes close, really.
I loved the XYZZY-reference. I'm really too young to remember the days of old text adventures, but I very much enjoy the Interactive Fiction of today.

AWESOME

I used to love this show when I was growing up. Great review and everything you've said is so true.

I'm going to be a sad, smug git about this but anyways . I'm the guy who did the Xvid rips for this (SR-Enc). They are still usually about on www.uknova.com, 11.8gig for the lot .

Enjoy

Oh HELL yes...

Being a Brit, it's kind of a cliche to say it was the daleks that had you hiding behind the sofa.
Not so for me, it was this programme!
Maybe it was the way the kids panicked when stuff like the skulls appeared on screen but goddamn, parts of this show really did scare the crap out of me at the age of 4!

Awesome show, nevertheless.
(I'm sure I've seen all 8 series floating around torrent sites by the way)

good job spoony this one is funnier than the dirty dancing

Uh, what the hell!?
written by Charlybob , August 22, 2008

Jesus what was up with that kid, I missed that one with the OSRDHU thing, and I'm glad for it. I was about 4 when this was playing and I always knew the spelling stuff. He made a right mess of that.

Oh, and yeah we do have a thing about saying right at the end, well, in some parts of the country at least, the ones that it messed up probably brought along a southerner with their group. Not a clue why you'd want to do something as stupid as that though. Usually it's just used to check someone knows what you're saying, asking for a response. You understand, right?

Spoony one...

you've jsut let me reexperience my childhood. Gos, its been years since I've even thought of knightmarte, but I used to watch it everytime it was on.
And yes, kids around my age in the uk were very, VERY awkward(not that I was, ehem).

WHAT? I thought he spelt SHRUD perfectly.

a half-decent english accent, until you pronounced the letter Z as 'zee'

UraharaZR - That was a scene from one of the Final Destination movies. I believe it was the second.

Great review once again. Unfortunately I was born in 1988, so I missed out, but apparently it's on torrent sites, so I may just end up checking it out. Thanks again for making my day.

Ooh, nasty.

Very good overview of a classic UK show Spoony. I only had one nit pick at what you said that it was show on the BBC actually it was on ITV (well CITV which was the channel's children programing section) but besides that everything was spot on and I loved the humor you put in it as well.

Great work.

The trouble with the "Do dwarf maidens have beards?" debate is that female dwarves are so rare in fantasy fiction... I like the dwarves in Final Fantasy 9. They all have the amazing chin of Jay Leno.

Duuuude!!

written by Rymar64 , August 22, 2008

I remember this show! Great fun to watch and it's as you say, it makes you feel so much better as you shout at the bumbling contestants who are in turn shouting at their blind friend who ends up meeting a horrible end. Very cathartic

The 'Right' bit and the spelling stuff backwards bit cracked me up the most. I often do it myself unfortunately (the former, not the latter, I may not be smart but I'm not that dumb! )

*Sigh* Once again, another television show that should have been a part of my childhood! At least I get the Spoony take on it, and I'm actually glad it was you who reviewed the show. I have a feeling that you encompassed it's majesty quite well.

Haha, this was funny.

Man! What's wrong with these kids! The part where they tried to spell "shroud" backwards was just sad >_>;

Intresting that there was show like that. I never knew about it from obious reasons but thanks spoony from review.

Oh My God!
written by Wee_Lin , August 23, 2008

When I was 9, I applied to be on this show. I was turned down (dungeoneers had to be 11-16) but I did get a letter from Tregard. He used FrightKnight letterheads by the way, that's how classy he was!

The survival guide he mentioned? We were going to do EXACTLY the same things to prepare for the show. I mean, you would watch around 23 teams make the same stupid mistake and wonder 'why did nobody practice giving directions?' or 'why can't they spell a word that's written in front of them?'. I agree too - these kids were utterly devoid of personality. If I'd had my way, there would be footage of a tiny Glaswegian girl shouting abuse at Mordred on this review.

Ah Knightmare - as if ITV would allow a children's programme to show the image of a youngster being sliced in half by a flying buzz saw nowadays!

I am finding myself more and more amused by SpoonyOne, after introducing me to Austrian Death Machine (which I ordered along with a t-shirt) I found myself going through his older videos, and after watching his (incomplete?) Final Fantasy VIII(and VII) review I was hooked.

So I'm looking forward to your next entry Spoony! And with great anticipation at that.

written by Booster37 , August 24, 2008

Normally, I've just lurked on this site watching vids only of Nostalgia Critic or Ask That Guy and I just happened to pop into this one. OMG that OSRDHU part just seemed stupid the first time I watched, and I decided to watch again, only to be laughing in stitches to see him fail at spelling that hard. Epic fail. Hope to see more of your vids.

...
written by Booster37 , August 24, 2008

Had to include one thing. I love how the guy's wtf face while he's screwing up the spelling.

I just found out something
written by Turbo , August 25, 2008

Spoony said that there was one team that killed their team mate by trying to spell shovel with a P well guess what, it was the exact same team that couldn't spell Shroud backwards thats how bad that team was in Knightmare lol.

i remember this show from when i was very young but i had forgotten it's name so this is a blessing really.

i must say you compleatly speaking my thoughts on the show. everyone was dence beyond compare which didn't fiar well against some of the unforgivingly mercyless puzzels.

thanks for rekindling fond memories.

Blue out

written by Sam , August 28, 2008

First of all, awesome video Spoony!. I couldn´t stop laughing at the spelling part . About Deagol I dont think he can count as a hobbit, I think Bilbo was a much more appropiate answer.

...
written by Badly Drawn Manchild , August 29, 2008

A couple of little nitpicks. First, they didn't have to spell the magic word backwards; they just have to use the right letters and muck up the spelling. Plus the team that failed to dispel Shroud were the exact same team that got their adventurer killed by spelling Spade instead of Shovel!

Also, we pronounce the letter Z as "zed", not "zee".

That's just nitpicking though. Otherwise, a very funny, very affectionate look at one of the greatest kid's TV shows ever made. This was great fun to watch, and brought back so many memories. Very well done!

Concerning hobbits
written by Gammelmann , November 06, 2008

You were right, the wall was wrong! Déagol was a Stoor Hobbit, one of the 3 hobbit races of the old. When the LOTR tale begins, the 3 races has merged into one in the shire, since their bloodline has been mixed up along the several hundred years since Déagol, and then Sméagol obtained the ring.

Anyways: Great review, you are easily one of the best video reviewer out there! Keep it up, and great job!
