I think I getcha......although blender is a new to me...
...the reference of a classic tv prog, though makes me think they used to use it....
...two questions therefore, as I'm ashamed to ask physics questions:
1. is the animation engine used by said prog-ram?
2. have your tried 'Processing'?...[I think you'll like it (java-based language subset)?

1) Wikipedia says Knightmare was made using something called a "Spaceward Computer" and an Amiga 2000. I don't suppose they had such things as software tools, that sounds a bit sophisticated.
2) Curious, but java toys annoy me. Blender can be scripted with python, I might have a go at that later; and it's easy to make gifs with it, which could then be turned into flash files, potentially. It also does toon-style outline 3D, which I think has potential for both those purposes (small gif sizes, and easy for flash to take apart and figure out where the lines are).
