Knew Knightmare 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?

Yes, I think it's a good call that the assistants drew him into it. Once one of them set such an atmosphere it'd hard to see what else he could do but follow suit, at least to some small extent. There'd be pressure on him to "act back" in some way, so pretty hard just to sit there, as he could on his own. Otherwise, he could have countered with a different tone, but that would probably have led to some silly conflict continually, which would just get dire and spoil any atmophere anyways. Still, I guess there's a difference between "looking nervous", and "being in awe of the dungeon". I'd obviously go for the latter, given a choice.

Yes, he's very much alive, as we finally managed to persuade everyone. He's actually got several acting credits to his name, so I might not be wholly accurate when I've said he was a talentless piece of slime not fit to be stuck to the bottom of Richard O'Brien's shoe.
Well, I don't know. I guess I've just said that he's pretty awful as a presenter. He does put on a bit of a persona for TCM, and I'd say it is at least partially convincing, so yes, maybe there's acting talent there. I just still think it was completely the wrong persona since it made him appear so damn annoying and me want to whack him repeatedly over the head with the shoe he'd become removed from.
I don't really think he looks like Patrick Troughton, but I'm no real judge since I try to avoid watching the old cosmic handshaker wherever I possibly can.

Having listened to him (attempt to) play Riff-Raff on the Rocky Horror Show - The Whole Gory Story CD, I can assure you that you are indeed accurate. And My Lord Ritz's motorbike boots are far too funky to be befouled with such slime!
-
Oh, but Treguard giving cosmic handshakes and signing off with something like "...Ah, but just keep telling yourself it's all an Illusion really. Anyway, Keep on Rockin'!" would be funny for all of about 10 minutes.
-
The best bit with Ed Tudor Pole would be him riding into the castle every episode on Bert The Imaginary Horse, who he used to talk to in TCM (since no actor could be paid enough to do so, even Auntie Sabrina).
(Sorry, I rolled a 2 again.)
-
He'd also fight that imaginary guy/ghost (can't remember his name) wouldn't he, which he used to fight in the Medieval Zone. GG or anyone do you remember his name? because I can't!
Oh yes, I know what you mean. Gosh, Medieval Zone really was where his delusional fantasies set in. Probably best not put him in a medieval dungeon antechamber or he'd make a complete and utter fool of himself. Oh well, what the hell....
