Will Virtually Impossible ever see the light of day on DVD? Think how I feel ...

Yeah in light of what was written in the article, made me annoyed how he could write something like that. Tasteless is putting it lightly.

I missed THIS over Xmas holidays? Oh man.... Fun to read, now. Except for that bit with the devilish oaf (i.e. not andy, ok? No lawsuits, please, this is Britain, not America  ;)) flaming and looking foolish. He was a dolt of extreme proportions...

May I ask are you a postman or paper boy by any chance?

That's quite good for kids TV. I'm glad I helped somewhat to that ratings figure. hehe

We've had a lot of fun making the series over the past 6 years, but what do I really think of it? Find out now in Jake's Throwback Reviews! Episode: Series 1, Episode 16 Original Release Date: 8th October 2011 Throwback Review Date: 25th March 2016 Score: 4 out of 5 (very good) The Good: All the positive things I said in my previous review about the team, Velda and Treguard hold true in this episode. A couple of bits of last-minute variety from Ariadne and the minecart ride ensure that the series does not end on too predictable a note. I laughed when Treguard started quoting Strictly Come Dancing at the start of Level 3. I feel that this is the closest we ever came to getting Mogdred right. Having heard it said that his dialogue on the real show comes straight from the mouths of '80s cartoon villains, I went back to the '80s in my mind (as I often like to, for various reasons) and pillaged dialogue straight from the mouths of some of my favourite '80s cartoon villains! There is inspiration from Skeletor (He-Man and the Masters of Universe), Stampede (Bravestarr) and Ming the Merciless (Flash Gordon/Defenders of the Earth) for those who are old and/or nerdy enough to spot it! I think it works, on the whole. The Bad: The episode does suffer slightly in places from over-long team discussion that was designed to be cut down for time if necessary, which it obviously wasn't in the end! I'm not entirely convinced by the use of the RETREAT spell. A few sound effects when Finn was climbing into the minecart would have been a good idea. Conclusion: This episode is very nearly brilliant, like the last one. Finn's quest really is the peak of the first series for me.

Noticeable that the shield quest symbol over the door in the die-room had been made larger and more prominent since team 7 failed to notice it.... First time that's actually come to my attention after all these years... well observed! Having now seen both clips, the shield in Chris's quest also makes a slightly different noise upon its appearance too... [image: Shields.jpg]

Wow! We hadn't seen an opening episode like this since the awesome series 3. Series 8 was out of the trap like a prize greyhound. Team 1 barely had time to get going before they met a fiery end. After an encounter with Brother Strange they entered the level 1 clue-room. Sadly this was where it went wrong for them. The scroll indicated that they should take the pigeon droppings (presumably left by Rothberry) and the green dagger. Richard stated that these were the items which corresponded to the instructions on the scroll, but they talked themselves out of it and chose the key instead of the dagger. Heavy hinting from Treguard about the scroll didn't influence them. Pursued by a red dragon on the way out. One of the advisors was against taking the dagger, thinking that you should never choose weapons, but i thought the adventurer's code actually stated that teams should not take weapons unless there were indications otherwise. They made heavy going of the fireball room. In the next room they encountered a new character, Stiletta the warrior-thief, who had lost her green dagger. They tried to explain to her where they had seen it, but as they didn't have it for her she refused to help them and departed.... Use the pigeon droppings to de-petrify Motley. (how much he was missed in S7) He took them to the next room, which contained a puzzle-locked trap door to level 2. When the red dragon approached, he fled leaving them to solve the puzzle. Without Stiletta they couldn't solve it. Enter the dragon and Richard woz toast. Level 1 is looking like being less forgiving in S8, which is a good thing. (To put this in perspective, they were only the 2nd team in the final five series to die in level 1. Whereas 10 of 31 teams failed to survive level 1 in series 1-3.) Enter team 2, who look like a very enthusiastic group. Ok, i admit i'm biased but i immediately wanted this team to win. They were quick to react when the snap-dragon appeared in the tunnel. Entered the level 1 clue-room. Liked the way Treguard re-read the scroll for clarification. Time-out before they could complete their choice.

Something randomly spooky I just noticed (while spooky to me) is that we now have 777 accounts (I say accounts as apposed to members), while over 3/4 of the way to 1000 and Drassil is on his 777th post.

"Befor you go Miss Elita, see this bag containing your voice?" "Well what do you think of this." "SPELLCASTING." S...E....W....E...R...S "Hope You can swim cause I just sent your voice to the depths of The Sewers Of Goth." "HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH.....LOVELY."

warning do not talk to goblins

What a great way to make my return. A thread about my fav Knightmare 'character' ever. Ariadne was at her best in S4, we all seem to be in agreement on that. I vaguely remember a spider from S3 but don't remember the details. Pretty sure it wasn't Ariadne though, maybe a famiily member or friend

Of the ones I've seen, I think these are all worth mentioning. Season 1 Team 1 - What was it that was draining the life force? We'll never know. Season 1 Team 4 - BOOM! Season 2 Team 5 - Mogdred's laugh, combined with the whole "playpen" idea makes this rather creepy. Season 2 Team 8 (I think) - Somewhat similar in the sense that the team were trapped. Season 2 Team 11 - The moral of this story: examine labels with care. Season 3 Team 9 - I really hadn't expected any team to die in Merlin's chamber. Season 3 Team 10 - Mainly for being entertaining. "Say hello to the goblin, Julie!" Season 3 Team 11 - A sudden surprise, and a barbeque soon follows... Season 4 Team 4 - What more can I say? Season 5 Team 2 - Skarkill makes a total fool out of this team: "That's a goblin 'orn that, you 'orrible li'l thing!" All brilliant.

Rewatching this as an adult I can see how fixed this programme is (was). Compare this quest and IMO unfair death for failing to collect the pieces of a spell, which was impossible to collect with the speed the automatum came in and headed straight for the right hand piece, with the earlier winning team quest which almost got spoonfed a victory.

I've just re-watched this quest, for me, Martin was the most entertaining dungeoneer for the first six series' . In addition to the aforementioned quirks, his sheer impatience made him captivating, especially the tutting and sarcastic remarks. It was refreshing to see a dungeoneer take the lead as he did, and stop his advisors from dithering, which made for a real quick-fire quest. Don't get me wrong, though, if I were one of his advisors, i'd be tempted to walk him off a cliff.

Had a search to find my old, ridiculous idea of a Knightmare Convention I wrote here in January 2006 and I note that it's been merged with various other similar threads over the years, as all seen above - looks like I wasn't quite the first but predicting something eight years too early is still pretty cool I think. Interesting read today
