    There were definitely a lot of changes from series 4 to 5. Besides the new opposition, there was quite a shake-up character wise too, as far as I know Treguard, Pickle, Hordriss, Motley and Brother Mace were the only old characters remaining in this series crossover.

      In addition, the Grimwolds were still around at the end of Series 6...

        As I've said so many times, I think the end to Series 4 is sickening, with my main focus for scorn being that dreadful Christmas scene, which I just can't watch.

        For me, the changes from Series 4 to 5 were on the whole positive as individual changes, but somehow Series 5 didn't gel together as well as it could have. The new actors are finding their feet, the location work is often a bit dull, and some of the Teams don't do as well as perhaps they should. I do agree on the spyglasses getting used to much as the show progressed, although having last watched Series 5 when it was on Challenge, I must admit I enjoyed pretty much all the spyglass scenes that year, and thought they were generally useful without giving everything away. That wasn't always the case in later Series, and for me it just became too expected to find a spyglass that would give pretty detailed instruction about the way ahead.

          All good points GG, thanks to Drassil for bringing my old topic back up, the true question I wanted to find out was "Why were dungeoneers sent in with no hope of completing a quest", was it worth the effort to get a team in all the way from god knows where just for them to fill 10-20minutes of a show?? that question was never truely answered.

              Season 5 saw a radical change....I have always thought of S4 as testing ground for S5, to be honest, the season where the transition took place.

              The progression continued through to season 7, really, where the format was again beginning to change, and of course S8 came full circle and started, what would have been, yet another different phase of Knightmare.

              (Also, I believe if someone says they are have dyslexia, then it should be left at that, no need for rude comments, Dan.)

              'morgaine will be comming out of the cupboard soon and i am lloking 4qward to it '

              And indeed, Morgaine shall be arriving some time in the near future

                  DYSLEXIA, my Dad has that!

                  I am AUTISTIC, the members here are aware of that! Just a little strange on a few occasions, so if you see a post written be me, which makes no sense at all you'll know why!  ;D

                    And I believe people shouldn't use dyslexia as an excuse for really poor typing.

                        Dan that is a very unkind comment, my brother is dyslexic and I know how hard it can be for people like him to write and type stuff. My brother only has mild dyslexia so someone with a more serious version will have a lot of trouble typing.

                          the emd of s 4 was abysmal it really made me cross

                          they could have at least destroyed modgred or merlin and modgred having a duel together which meddes up the dungeon so the dungeoneer had to be rescued at least they would have had a better excuse

                          shalme as that team were intelligent and quite polite (as we did see some real brats over the years!9

                            I would have liked to see Giles win too!  ???

                            Giles unlocked Gundrada from the stocks without been told... He did a miraculous job in the Corridor of Blades and The Block and Tackle by responding to commands quickly!  ;D

                              I'm 90% sure that the CoB had been deliberately extended and the Block and tackle sped up slightly, in the hope of killing Giles off and avoiding one of those anti-climax finishes to the year. Didn't work though did it?  

                              GILES FOR PRESIDENT!!!

                                It was just such a terrible end to the era, next era we had LF and co introduced and a lot of shifting of characters/actors/sets and all we had to end S4 was this terrible blink and you miss it dismissal in time for christmas. When I first watched that I thought it was a joke.

                                  A Sad Sad end for the first Era of Knightmare Indeed.

                                  Even Treagurd's Closeing conversation with the watchers (which is one of my personal favirotes.) Can't salvage that mess.

                                    And I believe people shouldn't use dyslexia as an excuse for really poor typing.

                                    I believe people shouldn't use these forums as a vent for all their lives' little frustrations.

                                    Looks like someone didn't take heed from being outwitted in the summer. Listen - the guy has a disability, and apart from anything else, this is Dave's style - nobody can touch that. If you don't like it - tough - go somewhere else.

                                    Dave - bud. Stick in for yourself. Just keep in your head that you're a bigger KM fan than most of us could ever dream of being. I ony convince myself I'm catching up. You stick in there, and get KM alive in Germany.

                                      A German Knightmare...Now that is an interesting idea!

                                      The end of season 4 was...odd to say the least.

                                      The Xmas theme seemed highly out of place, and it did seem hugely rushed...maybe in the hope Giles could complete the Quest?  No idea, but it was highly bizarre.

                                      In my opinion, season 3 still has the very best season ending.

                                        I liked the season 7 ending with the troll, just a matter of personal opinion. I still don't know why the producers of such an imaginative show couldn't think of a more interesting end of the season other than its christmas.

                                          Maybe they took note in the later series, as that Series 4 was the only one where Christmas was mentioned
