Series 5 - Episode 15
-
I didn't hear Kelly's last name but with Keeley and Karen being sisters? it does seem to help. Is Kelly also related? all the members from the team seem to be close friends, and so they seem to work well together. Deborah [proper spelling] (prev team) seemed to be leaving it all to big brother (Ian), unless Ian had told her to. I wonder if Richard was just dragged along to make up the numbers! Anyway back to the subject. Was it me or did Ian take a while to figure out to tell Duncan to say Hault as they were going down in the decender! Also I counted about eight floors before Duncan was told to say it and another couple before he said it. The rate they were going I thought that Ian wouldn't even tell Ducan to say it. He also didn't seem to be counting the floors either. Anyway Duncan didn't have much of a chance in the corridor of Blades, with the first blade coming straight away and on the side of the corridor he was standing. Even Pickle didn't have time to even try and attempt to help. That must be the quickest blade to appear and certainly the quickest death in the corridor of blades that I have ever seen.

Anyone notice the evil pooka infront of the eye shield ;D the last ever time those type were used.
They should have done that more often.
And yes that COB death is well funny just a shame the skull didnt appear.
-
that death was a suprise.. someone said that the COB where only seen once in this season.. its been twice.
but the fact that no one has any idear where the team ended up it was impossible for them to get past the blades. i notice they set the team up quite well for that death and pikle didn't help them this time
;DNew team look set, looking forward to mondays ep, hope we see the hobgoblin in action. but the team have no chance in winning being the finial episode.
-
A very amusing episode indeed - I was practically yelling at the TV telling them to HALT ;D. At first I did think it would just keep going until they ran out of life force or dropped into a pit by the corridor of blades was amusing (OK...You're in a...TO YOUR RIGHT!!! TO YOUR RIGHT!!!) DONG!
I wonder what would have happened if they had chosen the left door, /me thinks a suitable drop off a ledge would have been good enough (Series 3 flashback!)
-
This was a good episode, dont know why but I forgot to comment on it. Just read Dan's evil comment about me, second time he has done that
This was a hilarious episode when they just kept going. I thought the sound had cut or something because they waited for ages before saying stop. Quickest ever CoB death was excellent. "To Your R.... BONG!" great stuff. New team are fairly gullible "Robin Hood summoning horn" indeed, doubt they will get too far, level 2 maybe. Shame next episode is season end. i was really enjoying S5 ,mainly for the comedy teams.

Sorry about the lateness of this reply but I only just got the chance today to watch this episoed as I had taped it on Friday.
I have taped all but two episoeds I hope Challange is planning to repaet this series as I would like to have the complet sereis on video.
Anyway back to the episoed at hand.
The perviouse team were apsalute rubbish today up untill this point I thought they had been doing alright (deffinatly better then Christopher & Co).
I actually thought that the sound had conqued out because it looked like Ian was counting thr number of floors they went down.
They went down about 9 floors it seemed to me a well deserved and fuuny end to a completly botch quest.
"Your In A.... RIGHT, RIGHT."
"Hahah LOVELY"
The new team looks promising even if they were taken in by Sylvester Hands (Robin Hood calling horn indeed )
The spy glass sequence was another classic example of the brilliant teaming of Mark Knight & Rayner Burton.
Now we have the prospect of perhaps seeing the Hobgoblain Tiny in action on Monday heres hopeing.
Oh well last episoed tommorow better make the most of it. Roll on S6 Roll On.
On a side note of intrest this episoed makred the last apperence in the dungeon of The Assasins which is a shame as these sinister black clocked, hoode and knife weelding nastys had meniced dungeoneers for 3 sesons

Just a correction they menaced for 2 season
I only wish it was more. I think the lack of music for them in S5 took some of the fright away.And like i said the last time we saw a evil pooka too infront of the eye shield hehe I miss those.
S6 -evolution into Green turnips and skulls become LOVELY stormgeists ;-).
-
Yeah I remember that too Im pretty certain it wasnt a assassin just a knight witha sword.
Lol I remember first time I saw s7 and someone went through dwarf tunnels and walked into brother strange I thought it was a assassin for a moment lol ;D Now that woulda been hella scary if they did lurk in those tunnels to that creepy music.

(I'm in a rush for this and the next episode, so apologies if it sounds like I'm talking backwards underwater in a thick Grimsby accent)
Episode began with Pickle in a fetching red cloak. The Gatemaster sure proved himself worthy in this ep, summoning away Sly Hands! Then a trip in the Decender, where they had to go down 7 floors...
I counted four, then a cut to an advisor for about 10 seconds. When it cut back to the Decender I counted 5...6...7...Duncan says halt...window...another window...Duncan says halt...stops at door. So how come they didn't get the right stop? They couldn't have got off at one of those windows. I'm guessing a few more doors appeared during the time the camera was on the advisor. Superb CoB death though: "Go to your..." BONG! Unfortunately I missed Treguard's explanation to Pickle's comment about not getting to level 2.
Two superb jokes in this episode, one from Pickle:
"Alas, master"
"What's the matter, Pickle?"
"No, a Lancashire lass, master"
"I was part of Robin Hood and his 'dirty men. They called us 'dirty men, cus there were 'dirty of us"
And then timed out with Gwen, scolding them after blowing a goblin horn.

Ow. Clutches head Let this be a lesson. 2. A.M., Knightmare, the Rocky Horror Show and copious amounts of sugary treats do NOT mix well. Spends several minutes whimpering and moaning in a most unconvincing manner O.K. I wasn't paying too much attention to this ep. (It's hard to pay attention when you're swinging from the light fixtures and singing "So Macho") But I remember the Gatemaster with his lovely booming voice, the (much undervalued) Descender and a corridoor of Blades. They could have made it had their reactions been quicker. Had they just yelled "Right!" immediately they may have survived. As it is, the next lot are a rather unfortunate case as they were duped by Sly 'Ands. A brief flash pf a Pooka and an assassain followed by the boring warden. I really don't remember the rest. Oh, well.

"Their from Winsor, so they should be keen on castles."
Elita seems to like the box, maybe it's comfy in there?
The Gatemater tells them magic is banned, but they still decide to use the SESAME spell.
Dungeoneer whispered when told to shout halt before being sliced by the blades. I have to say that I would be mixed up over what were doors and doors are windows.
"Hobgoblins don't go cheap!"
No, they go

Can someone tell me more about that pooka that appeared through the eyeshield?
I always wanted to know exactly what that was- I was more used to the other pookas of later series.
Can any one help me out with an audio clip of these older pookas and the animation sequence??
It would be much appreciated and you may benefit from seeing it in the Knightmare PC game I am planning to release soon (as freeware)
-
Pookas have been discussed in other threads, so hopefully you got your answers.
I like the way that Series 5 featured many one-off (or at most, two-off) revivals of regular Series 4 features: Oakley, Ariadne, assassins (the Series 7 creature mentioned by Jim was called a grayling), the Boatman rowing, the Crazed Heifer (where the Boatman can be seen... not rowing) and, in this episode, the woodland haunting (a.k.a. old-style pooka) that appeared during the eyeshield sequence.
I didn't hear Kelly's last name.
It was Stansfield - Kelly Stansfield.
I wonder if she's related to the singer Lisa....
I wonder about this as well, considering that they are both from Rochdale. I've even emailed lisa-stansfield.com about it. But that was over two weeks ago, and I haven't received a reply. Something tells me I never will. (Been around the web and I I I, I can't find the answer...)

Elves are more susceptible to the cold than humans are they? Well then why is pickle wearing the equivalent of shorts and t-shirt while Treguard's sitting there in full winter gear complete with cloak? Hmm bad continuity I think, would have been much simpler to change the dialogue so that it was along the lines of 'it really is cold, because even Pickle is cold, and we know that elves don't feel the cold as much as humans do' .
Oh no, another team where only one of the advisers speaks! The guy who was speaking wasn't bad, but we all know teams like this come to a sticky end eventually.
I like the gatekeeper, I think he should have been used more instead of random characters at the end of level 1. He would have been a really good old style guardian, asking 3 questions and sticking the dungeoneer with the pike if they didn't get enough right!
I can see why they got confused about how many floors they were going down, the windows are nearly as big as the doors and 7 down is a long way and certainly harder to count then the 1 down of other teams. On a random tangent, do you think that descenders can go up? The team had no chance in the corridor of blades; they stepped onto it and they were sliced almost immediately! Although they took the fright knight door it seemed somewhat harsh to give them a room they didn't stand a chance of surviving. It seemed a bit of a disproportionate response to me.
New team and they all speak, hurrah!
On another note, it's been interesting to watch how during the course of the series the spyglasses have been better integrated into the quests. They've gone from being snippets of conversation that don't have much to do with the plot to a method for gathering vital information (passwords, causeway codes etc.). It's all building up to series 6 which is my absolute favourite

I fully agree with you there. The Descender is something I was never sure about, whether some of the openings were open doors or just windows, and by the time the advisors got the message to the dungeoneer and the dungeoneer shouted "stop" they could easily miss a door. I'll have to watch closely some time to see if the scenes always add up.
