User:Forgetmenot-helen/Virtually Impossible

Virtually Impossible was a virtual reality TV game show that ran for one series on CITV, from 18th November 1994 until 3rd February 1995 It followed in the wake of the popular show Knightmare, another Broadsword production, yet failed to live up to the hype of its new, state of the art, virtual reality software. The creator, Tim Child, did not want for Knightmare to end, yet due to the changing demographic of the CITV audience, and, in 1992, it narrowly failing to win the Royal Television’s Society’s award for best children’s programme, the decision was taken to axe it. Virtually Impossible was not intended to rival Knightmare, and actually ran alongside its 8th and final series, reflecting the fact that more children were turning to video games from TV, and that CITV's age range of its audience had significantly dropped.
