This week on Old Mates New Laughs, we’re heading back to the 80s for one of the most unique (and stressful) kids TV shows ever made — Knightmare.

If you’ve never seen it, imagine this: one kid wearing a helmet so they can’t see anything, wandering through a fantasy dungeon… while their mates shout instructions at them in a panic... Simple.

We’re diving into everything that made Knightmare so memorable:

• The iconic characters and slightly terrifying Dungeon Master
• The puzzles and riddles that caused absolute chaos
• The phrases we all still remember
• And the moments where it all went horribly wrong

We’re also chatting about the legacy of the show, whether something like it could work today, and if it should ever make a comeback.

It’s nostalgic, chaotic, and proof that 80s kids TV was built very differently 🎙️
