"But Dave, this is TV news, not gaming news you chubby sod!"

Yeah it's a TV show but it was damned influential on the 1980s gaming scene let me tell you. it saw a bunch of kids guiding their friend through a series of digitally-crafted dungeons and traps along with the guidance of presenter Treguard, played by Hugo Myatt. He's returning for the special too.

The Guardian reports that the special show's contestants will include YouTube stars Dan "danisnotonfire" Howell, Phil "AmazingPhil" Lester, Emma "emmablackery" Blackery and Stuart "ashens" Ashen.

Are you excited to see a new episode of Knightmare? Let us know below.
