Knightmare was one of my all time faves. Quite scary for a little 'un. The fact that, at the end, they would be frozen in the game until next week gave me the creeps. As embellina says, the contestants were the type of kids to get bullied at school.


For the day, the technology was amazing.


Did any team ever win it? I don't think I ever saw anyone make it to the end. The theme tune is a great atmospheric sound.


Ahhh, memories.

I think I must have just caught the first year or so of it - before discovering the dubious delights of drinking cider in parks and hoping a girl might let me touch her up.


Cool though the programme undoubtedly was, I doubt if mentioning 'Knightmare' would have given me the edge over the bigger boys.

Yeah it started green, then bits of the face would fall away and it would go from orange to red and there would only be a skull left, until they found some bread or something to put in the napsack/satchel thing.


There were "wall monsters" who would ask them riddles and stuff too.


Only remember seeing one lot get to the end f the game, which took them several episodes I think!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
