gripping stuff, definitely worth a DVD

This show was fantastic, I have only the vaguest memories of it now, but I remember being gripped at the time, because it was like nothing i'd ever seen before. My parents just wouldn't watch sci-fi, so i missed loads of it, but i used to watch it with my brother whenever i could. But it wasn't really sci-fi, it had this medieval quality, maybe because of all the court politics and religious overtones. I had the novelisation too. The Knights crossed swords symbol is still imprinted in my imagination and i think i'd still be scared even now if i met John Woodvine. Fantastic television, definitely worth a DVD.

In fact, if today's telly people looking to counter or capitalise on Doctor Who's current success made more shows like this and less reheated dross like Primeval or Robin Hood the world would be a better place.

Great Series

I remember this on TV, is it available on Video or DVD? John Woodvine is an impressive actor. I'm also interested in finding a film version of Arturo Ui, Le Petomane, Mr Axelford's Angel, and many other great films / TV from this era. Remember Diana Dors in Queenie's Castle? Anyone recall the Space Adventures of Don Quick? How about White Rock, commentary by James Coburn, music by Rick Wakeman? Back to Knights of God, not only was John a good actor, the storyline was impressive, one of those that sticks in my memory, like Fatherland, Bedford Incident, A Very British Coup, Defence of the Realm and more recently the Day Britain Stood still, there was also a sci-fi about a post apocalyptic England, No Blade of Grass or something like that.

Release this on DVD !!

I can only agree with the other comment.

It was a long time ago now but I still fondly remember this series. Made by HTV and shown I think on Sunday afternoons it was much more edgy than the usual sci-fi fare and involved religious zealots taking over britain in a modern civil war. Featuring an excellent cast and played with a serious tone it deserves to find a new audience. It also seemed to have a higher budget that the average at the time even stretching to the involvement of helicopters.

Someone please release this on DVD!

I loved this but no-one remembers it

It's typical that as I write this it has yet to receive 5 votes, despite being 16 years old. I watched it on British TV when I was 11, and I was totally hooked. Maybe being Welsh helped, maybe being into that other great british SF series Doctor Who helped, but I thought this was a superior slice of homegrown SF with a startling twist at the end. This is a serial in which the hero spends much of its running time brainwashed by the dictator! It's hard to imagine something this brave ever being commissioned as, essentially, a kids' show. Like most great kids' shows, it was far more than just a kids' show. Release it on DVD now!

Horribly boring...

Bought part 2 of the video yesterday in a "used videos and stuff" shop for about 1.5$... I was lured by the action packed cover to spend time and money on this piece of incredibly boring garbage... maybe as a tv-series in 10000 episodes this could work, but as a 120 min film, 240 if you bought part 1, and dread the existence of part 3, then it falls through... all the way to the bottom.

Anecdotes
The series was made by TVS, a UK company that held a regional broadcasting franchise for broadcasting in the UK as part of the ITV commercial television network. When the company lost it's franchise in the governmental shakeup during the early 1990s, several shows that were popular that had been made by TVS were bought and continued as an ITV production but the rest of the TVS programs archive were bought and absorbed into the Disney Corporation, making a home-video release highly unlikely due to the huge rights clearance costs.
