Now this really is fantastic. Put together a collection of outtakes from Series 8 and what do you get? A funny reel entitled 'Slow Hand' (with music by The Pointer Sisters). Never seen on TV - but now available on this site! Enjoy!
Series 8 Outtakes
Some screen-shots of the best bits are featured below:
Lord Fear: "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way..."
"So look, let me just get this straight. They're sacking 170 people, right, and they're replacing them with 2000 freelancers?"....
Lord Fear: "Right, well, yeah that makes perfect sense. Yeah. They think we live in a fantasy land?"
"Woah, dickheads!..."
Getting ready for various scenes.
Getting a clue table ready (left) and Smirkenorff stored at the side of the studio (right) with Tim Child in the foreground.
More preparations for what looks like filming a special effect (left) whilst a dungeoneers runs through the wall of the corridor of blades (right).
The full extent of the blue studio room, and it looks like here they're preparing to film the bit where dungeoneer Nathan (Team 3) falls into a hole in the fireball room.
A blue block is used for the dungeoneer to stand on, and the man in the red shirt demonstrates the action that he should perform.
Another shot of the blue room, filming a scene involving Lissard (I think).
Looks like with filming of the series completed, the production crew all dress up and are all awarded the remaining Knightmare winner certificates!
Also note the magic pool - its actually blue so they can achieve the 'image in the pool' effect which the viewers see, but actually contains a monitor to let the team to see the action.
Also Alan Boyd (Series 8 winning team) told me that some pencils could be seen at the bottom of the pool where advisors had dropped them!
Thanks to Broadsword Television.
