What is this bloody show called?!?!?

[Nadya Krupskaya]

OK.
When I was a kid I used to watch this show. It was on (i think on Sunday mornings- not sure though). The only bit i remember is when a kid had to walk across a big chessboard thing. They took steps and if (i assume) they got a question wrong there was this guy behind them who would take a step up. If the kid was unlucky, this fellow would come right up behind the kid and wrap his cloak around them and pretend to vaporise the kid. This guy was dressed in a black dress thing (cant think of any other way todescribe it), and had a shiny helmet (heehee). He breathed out in a affected way, and, come to think of it, looked remarkably like Darth Vader. That's the only bit of the show i remember. I can't type all that in Google so I'm hoping one of you people can help!!!

It sounds like one of the dungeon rooms in Knightmare. Brilliant show, that.

There's a show on thursday running at the moment... It's called 'Eliminator'... It's the second series now. It's exactly like what you described. Helpful?

[Mike]

Jezzie was right. It's Knightmare. If you have satellite, you can still watch it on the Challenge channel.

[Heartless]

Judey Im shocked you dont remember the name of KNIGHTMARE it was amazing it was on CITV and is now on Challenge

[Nadya Krupskaya]

i really didnt think it was in Knightmare! I watched an episode the other day on Challenge and the fellow wasn't there and I was confused, because that's what I thought it was on!

And as for Eliminator? Pah. Modern day kids crap. Saw it the other day and nearly pissed myself laughing. Some kid thought the capital of France was Florence.

[Felix]

I know... Depressing isn't it. The youth of today...

[Nadya Krupskaya]

For the record, the kid was 12. Now at last you can feel superior to your peers

[Felix]

12! I knew that the capital of France was Berlin when I was 10!

[Heartless]

oooh the irony!

[Felix]

Have you possibly gone to my website, Heartless?

Actually, I think there was another show, or a part of a show which had that game on it. Spookily enough, I was thinking about it myself briefly just the other day.

If I remember correctly, the nasty helmed chap made a weird sound either before or after his move. Anyway, after the kid moved a square, the floor lit up to help the apparently vision impaired stalker-type find which way the kid went. It ain't Knightmare though, I'm about 98.5% sure of that. And I don't think questions were involved in that part of the show.

[Nadya Krupskaya]

Yes Collie!!! That's what I'm talking about, and I'm sure it wasn't Knightmare either!
What WAS it though??? Arrgghhh it's so confusing!
