    In the early series, there seems to have been a definitive, specific, laid out path. An item was used in a particular location and if you didn't have the item (for whatever reason) when it was needed then you died. The problem is that this lead to the situation where you can do badly in the clue room and still get through the dungeon by being lucky with your selection of items. On the other hand, if you did well, picked up exactly the right items, but missed a clue (or didn't understand the advice given) you were certainly dead. So bad teams could progress and good teams could fail, and it wasn't necessarily clear why. Later series seem to have eased up on this and there always seems to have been an alternative approach available for taking the wrong items (at least in level 1).

    Could someone please help? I'd really like to see the extended version. You can now watch the original upload of the extended Geek Week episode here. There's also a later upload here. Let us know what you think of it. Something I've only just noticed: the first thing to happen in the episode is a facing-away-from-the-camera sidestep (by Veruca). Surely deliberate? Thank you! Great to see the extra stuff! Also nice to hear the opening theme tune fade out naturally without the door-creaking-open sound effect at the end.

    Hugo has been known to make a few cameo appearances at Knightmare Live performances - both he and Mark Knight featured at the Leicester Square Theatre performance in November last year.

    I wonder if the Lords Of The Game pilot will forever remain a convention exclusive or if there might still be any future opportunity to see it. (And the pilot eps of Knightmare, for that matter. Would be cool if Tim could dig them out for the 40th anniversary next year!) I fear it’s unlikely. The pilot was filmed as “not for broadcast” so I imagine that legally it cannot be distributed. We did ask if we could include it on the DVD but although he gave it serious consideration, Tim said nay. I fear the pilots may have the same status

    I'm sure that can be arranged. Have you considered remastering all the different versions of the theme tune?

    I can't recall any mistakes off the top of my head, but, I also haven't watched that particular quest for a while, so they could well have made a few blunders. However, I do remember them being quite argumentative with each other, which I suppose is one big mistake in itself.

    Was that really at the end of the trip? I thought it was at the start. It happened the day after the 2007 trip to Thorpe Park, when we were making our way through Heathrow Airport and into the tube station so we could all take our different ways home.

    It would have been nice if it were explicitly mentioned and also would hav e liked to have seen merlin and mogdred face 2 face thus destroying each other in episode 16 Makes sense that Merlin would have to sacrifice himself in order to destroy Mogdred. (Think of Neo and Agent Smith in The Matrix who were also hinted to be like two sides of the same coin.)

    We've gotten this far talking about pookas, and no-one's mentioned "a benign but Miss-CHIVVY-us creature - very fond of rumpots, crackpots and how are you Mr Wilson?" (!)

    There's nothing explicit on this thread, and it's explicit material/references that the rules forbid. Just saying you fancy someone isn't really in that bracket.

    Not exactly a flood danger, no, although there was the Pool Room in season 3 that was occasionally shark-infested.

    The "official" backstory notwithstanding, I imagine she was a submissive in a BDSM-based relationship, or a captured sex slave who'd become brainwashed and completely servile to her master. Who knows what unsuitable-for-CITV thoughts entered the minds of the scriptwriters when they dreamt that couple up!

    Yes, 'falsehood' is a legitimate English word, and has been in the dictionary for at least a century. It simply means an untrue statement.

    i think a lot of mellisandre's cute appeal was the damsel in distress thing.  she had post-coital ruffled hair and was often in stocks or in a position where she was submissive. hehe, medieval damsel in distress and bondage, all things i am expert at. Quite - it's her annoying condescending tone of voice that's the turn-off factor. Back then, though, she was probably much needed light relief - a character who's definitely not a threat.

    I think we all prefer the "spellcasting" gimmick. Just to get in an off-topic remark: in my "X-Rated Adult Knightmare" idea that I'm not allowed to print, no sooner has the "quest" begun than the Treguard-figure spellcasts D.I.S..R.O.B.E!

    I would love to see this done! I've always wanted to see Knightmare on a console. Would buy a Kinect just for this.

    Afraid not. The first winner was season 2, team 4 - Mark Wickson's team, who were from Witney. No team from Leeds ever won Knightmare. In fact, no team from anywhere north of the Midlands has ever won it; winners were from Oxfordshire (x2), Devon (x2), Wiltshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Hertfordshire.
