Look out Knightmare Castle, there's skinny jeans and emo hair-dos imbound, or at least there was yesterday, as several Youtube “sensations” braved the long empty CGI castle in a remake of the classic show Knightmare, featuring the ever awesome Hugo Myatt as Treguard and Isy Suttie (Dobby from Peep Show) as Veruca.

Remade as a one off as part of Youtube's Geek Week, the show featured all the classic elements of the original TV programme, including both old and newer opening music. There was also the classic set design and eye covering helmet, though the effects have been improved a little – even if they do retain their 90s CGI feel.

KitGuru Says: I won't say any more about it, as those interested in such things won't want it spoiled. Good luck adventurers, may your instructions be clear and your feet swift.

Unfortunately Knightmare fans, it's only for one show, in a one off special as part of the Geek Week festival on Youtube between the 4th and 10th of August. It'll be part of Global Geekery Monday, and featuring the original presenter himself, Hugo Myatt.

Series creator Tim Child will be producing it too and it'll apparently feature Isy Suttie and Jessie Cave in some fashion (As Eurogamer points out, that's Dobby from Peep Show and Lavendar Brown from the Harry Potter movies). A few Youtube stars will also make an appearance, presumably as the guests playing the game itself. They include: emmablackery, AmazingPhil, ashens and danisnotonfire.

For those that didn't get a chance to watch this awesome show back when it initially aired between 1987 and 1994, Knightmare was about a team of kids, one of whom would don a giant version of the Skyrim helmet, that fitted over the player's face, making it impossible to see. They then had to traverse several rooms of the “dungeon,” – essentially a green screen room – while the others watch them on a monitor and direct them past the digital dangers that await them.

Often times this would involve staying on a narrow path or avoiding obstacles in a timely manner. Sometimes puzzles would come into play. And all the while, Treguard, their sometimes neutral,sometimes helpful guide would stand watch, uttering such helpful comments as:

oohnasty
“Ooh… nasty”

KitGuru Says: If you've really never watched an episode, I urge you to look one up on Youtube, there's some great clips of kids making asses of themselves. That's always fun to watch.
