And you think you're rather cleaver

Well, not very afraid..."

New Life Force
New Life Force
The structure remained the same as the previous series, however, a large overhaul of characters took place, with 9 new ones (mostly for the opposition). The life force indicator was changed into a walking person with pieces of its armour dropping off gradually. A 'Choice of Quests' room (left) was re-introduced to replace the dragon flight or boat ride into the quest as in series 5 series, but isn't it strange that no teams chose the Cup this season!

Timers were introduced on most causeways (right) to give teams an indication of how fast they should move (left). Brand new titles, theme music and logo were also introduced. New life force introduced, but it was more referred to as 'energy levels'. No Children's ITV competition this year, but Treguard did make an appearance just before the series began to announce the new series. New Titles
