Knew Knightmare dungeon master?
-
If you can't have Hugo Myatt as dungeon master you would NEED to have an unknown to continue the role.
Think of it this way..... Because Mr Myatt was a relatively (on TV) unknown actor, the emphasis was on the 'Treguard' character and most importantly the team playing. Also, unlike well known personalities, he wasn't under any kind of pressure to bring a certain type of personality or 'catchphrases' to the show. Working on Knightmare let that evolve around him at the same pace as the dungeon itself
KNIGHTMARE is the star of the show, NOT the Dungeonmaster! A well known actor or presenter would come across as condescending ("I'm simply here to get my wages") or worse, hellishly corporate.... (money-men with clipboards permanently in the wings 'Fame Academy' style)
Nobody here will be happy with anything else but the original.
If, heaven forbid, we can't have the original, they should repeat the process that created the original. Find an appropriate unknown, bring them in... and go from there...
This way the delicate balance between presenter and show which could make or break a new KNIGHTMARE hopefully won't be destroyed.
Rant over with. Thanks for listening!

AND ENOUGH ALREADY ABOUT ED TUDOR-POLE!!!!!
He's alive, last I heard he was on tour (can't remember which show) and he's most definately kicking!
Who started the rumour he died any way?? Where did YOU hear it?
Easy Tiger!
Ed Tudor Pole is a star of the Crystal Maze but Richard 'o' Brien took the show all the way through... Even if he didn't stay...
First Elita and now Snowcat, who else is in a foul mood...
-
My apologies Motely! Not a foul mood (not at the minute anyway ), more a 'fer goodness sake' moment!
I know for a fact that the 'pole dancer' is indeed alive mainly because I met him recently at an autograph convention.
Sadly I couldn't afford for his esteemed paw print on a piece of paper 'cause the queue was miles long
.Folks are right about one thing tho', Richard O'Brien was better. I was always waiting for a rendition of 'Timewarp' when the team was faffing about!!

I think that if Hugo Myatt wont be dungeon master again then when the new KM comes to our screens then we should all boycott it.
Hmm, I hope you're joking. I think Tim Child would try to get Hugo involved if he possibly could- he's said as much. But if for whatever reason he couldn't, I don't think boycotting the show would be very fair. In any case, I doubt the absence of a few hardened old people like us would matter much when there are millions of kidsies watching.
I'm guessing you're joking.
-
Although having said that, I think I'd personally boycott it if by some freakish circumstance Edward Tudor Pole (dead or alive) was the knew Dungeon Master.
-
I'm still somewhat dissappointed over the fact that I am going to be losing Sky channels sooner or later meaning that I probably wont even be able to see the new KM reguardless of who is dungeon master. But I was only joking trying though. I was trying to think of something worse to put but couldn't think of anything though.
-
A penny for my thoughts? I thought you'd never ask...
-
Ed-Tudor Pole, for the last time, is ALIVE. Not DEAD. I saw him in a film made in 1999, a music video (Fat Les' Vindaloo) in 1998, and I've seen him since. And no doubt giving cosmic handshakes to people today.
-
For the new Dungeon Master, I thought that a curious combination of having Treguard's disembodied head (á la GamesMaster) would be knice, in a way. That way you couls still have Hugo. I mean, if Patrick Moore could still present at 75, why not Hugo?
Or you could put Pickle as the Dungeon Master! Okay, bad idea...
- Bruce Forsyth for next Dungeon master!
"It's knice to see you, to see you...KNICE!"
"The clue objects are on the conveyor belt. Try to memorise them in 60 seconds...a spyglass...a potion...a dagger (audience derision noted)...an empty jar with the word humbugs....a horn...a cuddly toy! (Audience cheer)...a bar of gold..(buzzer sounds)"
And this is BEFORE I had the opportunity to talk about the 'Play Your Cards Right' game!

Oh, good. It was late, so I couldn't quite work out whether or not you were serious. I was just ever so slightly worried one of our sensible people had been exposed to the Challenge forum for too long and been infected with the random idiocy that prevails in that God-forsaken place.

Aww, the debate on whether he's alive is good because I have some small excuse to use my two jokes about him without having to just throw him into a conversation where he's as out of place as... well, Ed Tudor Pole was in The Crystal Maze. I remember him in the Fat Les video too. I remember watching it and not being able to work out what on earth he was doing there.

I hope I don't even need to comment on that one, lol.

LOL, that's really really good. Bruce Forsyth jokes are good, especially when allied with remarks about Ed Tudor Pole. Talking of Ed, does anyone know if he's still alive...?
-
Argh!
Well, he's probably alive. Unless he popped his clogs a couple of months ago. But that could apply to anyone I haven't seen for a little bit.
-
The only name I could come up with (And This is down to personal taste.) was Patrick Troughton The Second Doctor Who.
If I can suggest a rather dead Donald Pleasance, you can definitely put forward a very dead Pat Troughton. In his time, I can kinda see it though, so long as he didn't act all frightened and nervous. That would be rather un-DungeonMasterly.
It's sad that Ed Tudor Pole only leads other contenders because his opponents are dead.
-
On the issue of acting all nervous and scared, there were times when Treguard WAS behaving like that by S7. The assistants always seemed to be drawing him into it. Got on my nerves when he got like that.
Ed Tudor Pole recently appeared in the Henry VIII drama on ITV, so it's an unfortunate coincidence if he IS dead, as it must have been since this topic started up! And in fact, I've always thought ETP was a dead ringer for Patrick Troughton.
The guy I could see playing Treguard actually played Merlin in the movie Excalibur back in 1981. His name's Nicol Williamson, but I've no idea whether he's alive or dead. Even if he's still with us, he must also be "too old and fat" by now. He's an Alec Guiness lookalike, and his version of Merlin, which was very similar to the early Treguard, was far better than John Woodnutt's "doddery schoolmaster" portrayal.
In fact, here's an idea. How about Hugo Myatt playing Merlin?
