In June 2000, Fay, one of the advisors in this team signed my Guestbook:

I stumbled across this site today, after having a big nostalgia attack, and just wanted to say congratulations - it looks great! I was a member of the first team of Series 5 (The 'Bee' team, as I recall, for fairly obvious reasons if you look at our cute matching outfits!) and, although it's nearly nine years since my team was on, I remember a lot about being on the show.

Sadly, I've lost touch with two of the members of the team so, Kathryn, Ali, if you discover this site, drop me an e-mail I'd love to hear from you, but we had a great time and a lot of laughs (although, three days locked in the Green Room together nearly drove us all crackers!) Thanks for putting so many images of us onto the site - I feel v. flattered.

So Kathryn or Alison - if you ever read this, please e-mail the site who will put you into contact.

 

Team 2: Richard, James, Daniel and Darren from Gillingham, Kent
Quest for the Cup : Duration 36mins

38.jpg (4340 bytes)   39.jpg (7178 bytes)

Level 1

Took a very long time to decide which objects to take by the drawbridge.

Bought fresh flowers for Pixel to prick Sylvester Hands and earned the password - Took the decender to level 2 after a little help from Brother Mace.

Level 2

Had to free Motley who was stuck in a giant playing card.

Overheard the causeway colour code when spying on Lord Fear.

Death

Skarkill killed them. They didn't have a bar of gold to bribe him, so offered him a horn and insisted that it was magical. Skarkill asked Richard to blow it...

"Ha, Ha, Ha, that's a goblin horn, and I am Skarkill, master of the goblins...
Magic horn! Oh no its not, and I'm going to put my irons on you"

In May 2002, Dan (one of the advisors in this team) signed the Guestbook:

I'm delighted that I found such a huge (and brilliant) website dedicated to this legendary program. I still look back on my experience appearing on this show with immense fondness, something like 11 years down the line. Yes, that was me: the idiot who got our team killed by Skarkill for not taking the gold. I throw my full weight behind your efforts to get the show back on the air; perhaps its recent appearance on the 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows will help your cause - here's hoping. Keep up the good work.

 

Team 3: Sarah, Keeley, Helen and William from Northampton
Quest for the Crown : Duration 57mins

85.jpg (4614 bytes)   86.jpg (6761 bytes)

Level 1

Began as a boat ride to level 1 while being blanked by the boatman.

Refused a dead deer in a sack in favour of a password from Julius.

Julius deliberately rushed saying the password so the team couldn't make out whether he said 'Frightknight' or 'Bright Light'.

To confuse matters more, Gwen gave them another password after Sarah reported Julius to her for killing a deer.

At the blocker, they sensibly decided to go with Gwen's password.

Clip available in 'Series Clips'

A ride on Smirkenorff to level 2.

Level 2

Brother Mace said that they need a key to proceed.

Later bought key from Sly.

Damaged their life force from a moving skull.

Used Pixel to disperse of Skarkill.

Decender to level 3... (only 1 floor down!).

Level 3

The first team to reach level 3 this series.

Met Elita who could have offered some vital help, but the team took far too long to decide whether to give her the ruby or not. Eventually, they agreed but it was too late. She ran off without giving any info.

Death

On the corridor of blades.

And that classic skull appeared - a rare thing in this series

"Elita could have saved you, but you took too long to decide"

Team 4: Ben, John, Ray and Jonathan from Exeter
Quest for the Shield : 62mins

124.jpg (3731 bytes)   127.jpg (6405 bytes)

Level 1

Motley, being stuck in the stocks set them a task to buy a green stone from Julius and then persuade Elita to release him.

Did this and earned the causeway colour sequence and later a password from Motley.

Level 2

Stuck an arrow into Skarkill.

Sylvester interrogates Ben, then Gwen walks in. Sly dashes off to put on a dungeoneer's helmet to confuse Gwen. She was looking for Sly and therefore had to ask each questions to distinguish. With Sly giving thick answers as usual, it wasn't difficult.

Gwen gives them the password.

Clues and a SESAME spell from Brother Mace in exchange for a book.

Into Rock/Scissors/Paper causeway.

Encountered Skarkill again so they blow horn and Gwen comes to the rescue.

Level 3

Down the decender, and used SESAME spell to open the lift exit door.

Whole place covered in snow. Well, its Winter. Clue tree stump clues spy glass.

Here in Winteria, Lord Fear and Aesandre planned the team's fate.

Bought a bone from Elita for Hordriss and earned two spells - FIRE and FREEZE.

Death?

In August 2000, I was pleased to receive an e-mail Ray Lockton (one of the advisors in this winning team). He sent me a whole load of photographs that they took on their audition and filming days, along with scans of letters and documents they received from Broadsword. See this material in the Pictures section.


In October 2003, team member John Shaw signed my Guestbook:

There must be some serious nostalgia going around the teams from series 5 - I've not seen this for ages and suddenly someone in the office tells me that there's a whole site with pictures and videos of us on!

Winning was great, but a shame about the prize. One trophy between four is never going to work, and we've all had some time with it but I've not seen it in years. So if Ray Lockton is reading this please get in touch - Jon and I would both love some time with the Fright Knight again!!

Great site - keep it up

Team 5: Jenna, Andrea, Kelly and Anna from Exeter
Quest for the Crown : Duration 19mins

167.jpg (6101 bytes)   168.jpg (6435 bytes)

Level 1

One of the eye-shield paths featured a scroll saying 'Another name for Hordriss'. This was a CITV competition, and was added in after the recording.

Shouted off Assassins sent by Lord Fear

Blocker room had a sword stuck into a trunk

Treguard says it might bring the blocker back so they leave it

At the causeway, Treguard said they could either take 'the path of defense' or 'the path of aggression'. They sensibly chose the first...

Death

Stepped on the wrong hexagon

"You chose the right path, but didn't stay on it"

In November 2000, dungeoneer Jenna signed my Guestbook:

I only died so early on because they gave us the toughest floor puzzle on the first level - it wasn't our fault! Apart from that it was great fun crashing into blue walls and saying really stupid things, so that friends could laugh at me for years to come - it's an experience everyone should have! My one regret was that I didn't get to ride Smirkenorff...


In January 2001, team member Andrea Barber signed my Guestbook:

This is a fantastic site - I'm very impressed! Boy does it bring back memories! A few of my drawings were featured in The Quest's Knightmare Knews pages and it's great to see them on your site. I still die with embarrassment when I remember how badly our team did on the programme (and how bad my hair looked), but it was a fantastic experience. I'd love to see Knightmare come back one day. Keep up the good work with the site!
