  • Knightmare is fondly remembered gameshow broadcast on CITV in the UK between 1987 - 1994, known for it's atmospheric fantasy setting, pioneering visual effects and brutal difficulty. Also notable was the amusingly unfair ways the dungeon offed it's young contestants, and here is a compilation of every single demise that met every unsuccessful dungeoneer, some more deserved than others. (Spoilers for pretty much every other episode.)

    Yep, for a children's game show, Knightmare's difficulty was basically extreme. Most of these deaths are basically due to the fact that the teams did not have the right items, or they did not find the characters who would give them the information needed to progress forward, while some of the others are basically bad judgement from the navigators.

    Yeah around 13:22 the first death of season 3 is actually forced on the team, because they should have failed at the snake’s tongue but due to the second team not being in the studio yet, they were told to fill up the time until the next team was ready.

      It was perfectly possible for quests to get into a no-win state if teams did particularly badly, to the point the dungeoneer was basically a dead man walking. I think this team had already managed to do this more than once by having their dungeoneer transformed into a goblin *and* missing a vital password, so they were basically goners whatever they did. The fact they then attempted to use the solution to a *completely different puzzle* as a password is just the icing on the cake really.

    27:50 does anyone remember that episode of Friends where Phoebe gets a job at the toner call centre - It's her first day, and one of her first customers tells her that he doesn't need toner because he's going to kill himself? The way Phoebe comically goes through her notes to attempt to navigate this situation she's not prepared for?

    I’m sure I remember a death at the start of a new team where someone fell off the path which they had to pick for which item they wanted to win at the end. It was a spinning round platform with three paths leading off it. I remember some dungeoneers almost falling off and I knew one would fall eventually.

      The production team used that trick to get rid of teams who were particularly inept or annoying, bit harsh but it's funny when you notice it. A couple of the more arbitrary deaths were due to them having messed up and allowed a team to survive longer than they should have, I think one of those happened at 28:48 when the poor guy was killed about thirty seconds into the start of an episode.
