Interview with Edmund Dehn

MoanaLiza

Is their any scene, incident, quest (involving the Automaton/Gumboil) that sticks that you can remember and why (i.e. made you laugh, a silly reason, just memorable, etc.). Stupid question though as I can't remember back to when S3 was shown on Challenge last but did Edmund Dehn play the Automaton in s3 or was the S3 Automaton played by someone else as I can't remember?

HStorm

The Automatum was S2 only.

MoanaLiza

Okay I'm getting the Automatum confused with the Knight from s3 (the one that Velda shot at and the one that Martin said 'boo' to) and I don't know why. I don't think I every seen s2 & 3 though so I don't know why I thought that the Automaton was in series 3!

Kieran

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions etc, the questions have now gone off to him. Look out for it folks

Emii

MAAAH! I missedit cos I was doing essays!

cries pitifully

HStorm

Hugs. Gives Emii the prestigious HStorm pat-on-the-head-and-nice-hot-cup-of-sweet-tea-to-make-her-feel-better award.

Oh yes, and some choccies.

Fidjit

I never seen the Automation, leave alone series one and two!

Yes. The thing in Series 3 is a Behemoth, according to Treguard. At least it is on one occasion. Whether that same guy in the same costume when he appears every other time that series is still the Behemoth is anyone's guess.

Skarkill

I Could sware blind I heard Pikle refer to it as a Frightknight in S4 were it appers in the transporter pad room.

King_Gazz

is it too late to send the questions in?

HStorm

Looks like it.

?

This is interesting, shame I didn't give any questions to it. Do you know when you are likely to get back the answers?

Kieran

Hi again, terribly sorry about the delay, my PC blew uo last week so I am getting back to grips with things.

Yes, I have sent off the questions, and he is answering them, so I expect it to surface in a short while in the full form.

MoanaLiza

Hi again, terribly sorry about the delay, my PC blew uo last week so I am getting back to grips with things.

Oooooh! That sounds a bit dodgy. Had you been using your computer in a bomb room?

Kieran

No bomb room was required, the PC alone was self destructive. I have a new one now however, so no chance of it happening again, damn thing.

JoeGrocottJames

Kieran, what is the state of play re this interview? You said that you have sent off all the questions, but have not said anything else. Have you received any replies yet?

Kieran

Replies have been sent my Ed Dehn, it is likely you'll see the full interviews in a future site update.

GrimaldineGrimwold

I think he came over as a very likeable chap indeed. Despite not being involved in the show for very long, it's evident it meant a fair bit to him, which is really nice to see. But there's one thing he said that really made me love him:

"What was frustrating was that the Wall Monster was never allowed to "eat" anyone!!! I longed for just one team to get all 3 questions wrong, so I could be the one to finish them off!!!"

Oh, a man after my own heart.

HStorm

Yeah, that stood out for me too. It made me think, "No wonder Igneous always sounded so much more noisy and irritable than all the other wall monsters... Ed Dehn was genuinely p*ssed off."

WillsOfDoom

I can't remember what that wall monster sounded like. All I seem to recall was that he had an extremely strange face, and that it was a red clue room.

Ed Dehn's answers were very interesting. Top stuff!
