Pickle: "It's not over, master. It's not over! Something awesome is approaching..."

It's Merlin, who enters with a clap of thunder. He ridicules Pickle for cowering.

Knightmare Series 4 - End of series. Treguard and Pickle bid the team farewell.

Treguard: "Have a safe journey home, and a very Merry Christmas to you."

We later found out from the team that we didn't see the 'walking away' departure because of a gesture from one of the team members.

Treguard: "And as for you lot, the season's greeting to you, of course. The path from you to here is closing now, just as the winter is closing in upon us.

"When will it reopen? Who knows? But the signs will be there, if you know where to look."

Gundrada is spinning her sword for the final titles, before dropping it at the end!

The team view on the 'Christmas' ending

Giles: "We hated that. It was really childish and made us feel really uncomfortable. It was filmed in mid-august too."

Brett: "We recorded more than one ending; the floor manager explained this was due to selling Knightmare to other countries - including the USA and Spain - where it would not necessarily be Christmas when the series ended."
