  Enter, Stranger! Spellcasting!
Hi bloggers, Hope you are all well, and didn't find the last post offensive or discriminative because I was mainly saying what a terrific Radio show it was. I am not someone who would be horrible or discriminating because of my work at the disability charity.

Anyway, you are probably wondering where the title of this post comes from( or you've guessed which meant you are a genius!).
It comes from one of my favourite shows as a child which was Knightmare and these were two catchphrases that Treguard, the dungeon master and a dungeoneer would say in each programme.
I loved the way that children would be chosen to go around this castle( but like all TV magic, it was done with a blue room) but we never knew did we, because we didn't understand that trickery.
There were many shows I used to like but this one always meant that it would be the start of the weekend( every Friday night) and I could sit watching it before my dad would be home and we would have our usual fish and chips meal.
I also had three of the books too and used to write the spells down too, I have also visited the website www.knightmare.com and it's brill.

I was wondering if you liked the show and what else did you watch? Also if anyone knows where I can write to the man himself, Hugo Myatt- Treguard, you can tell me.

I recognised the title and, yes, I used to watch it too. I saw it on one of the Sky channels a while back and it looks soooo old!

I also used to watch Dungeons And Dragons, Hong Kong Phooey and the superb Thundercats.

Now I feel old ...
 
I remember Knightmare vaguely. I wasn't sure until I googled for Images and saw pictures from the show.

As for Thudercats - I loved that cartoon! My sister and I used to play at being Thundercats - I was always Panthro (the kind of bluish grey one).

My favourite Children's TV show had to be Maid Marian and Her Merry Men. That was just pure class. I would hate to see it now though as I imagine I remember it being much much better than it really was.
 
Goldfish, Thank you for your comment, I loved Maid Marian and her Merry Men too. The acting on that was excellent.
I loved the way that Marian bossed all of them around and made them all take notice. I wish you could still buy it but you lot in America get cool British TV programmes. It's like the episodes of Keeping Up Appearances you can get in America some of them are episodes I have never heard of existed.
 
Yes, I understood the title straight away too. Should I be proud of my knowledge of children's TV or ashamed that I spent so much of my formative years watching Knightmare? Proud, I think!
