"Oooooo nasty" Does That Phrase Make You

This is true. No prima donnas in KM.

Apart from John Woodnutt, maybe.

Muahahaha. Evil, but so true, methinks.

Huzzah another has turned to the darkside of disliking John Woodnutts desperacy for screen time

I'm starting to feel just a little guilty for making that one of my little pet topics, now everyone's at it. And it takes quite a bit to make me feel guilty. I should point out that I don't feel guilty enough to stop mentioning it and making cheap jokes out of it, however.

Did I mention I don't like Edward Tudor Pole much?

Snowcat

Not that I know of and I agree, he did my head in!!

JUST START UP ABOUT WETHER OR NOT HE BE DEAD........... please!

AJK

HStorm

My verson of what happened between S4 and S5 is that he's dead. And because Mogdred is the dark side of Merlin's own nature, he died with him.

End of story. Well not quite...

Anyway, I put it on fanfic net.

knightmaredave

The "Oooh....... Nasty!" catchphrase is cool! And Im glad Treguard had it!

Its like Leslie Phillips, whenever you see him on TV you just want him to say "Oooh...Hello" or "Ding Dong!" etc!

I think the same applies to Treggsy, its his own personal gimmick!

?

Well whatever happened to Merlin at least the kids actually got some screentime when he left!

Yes, in a way, I guess a lot of these little talking points must have really helped popularize the show in playgrounds around the country. To be honest, if he *had *ever stopped saying it, I bet there'd be threads on this board complaining about the fact and saying it was somehow linked to the ultimate demise of the show.

?

Too true GG, we are so very fickle.

HStorm

Hey, no one's suggesting he should've STOPPED saying it, just not overuse it so much, and most importantly, stop over-embellishing the delivery the way he did in S8.

MPK

LOL, over embellishment!

I just thought of Treggsy delivering the line like this;

"OOOOOOooooh...........Nasty!"

That would be over embellishment!

GrimaldineGrimwold

LOL, yes, when if it had got to Series 54 and he'd run out of other variations.

Just thinking though as "Oooh Nasty" was scripted by Hugo Myatt early on, was it then scripted by the production team later on? and is that why he seemed to be forcing it?

HStorm

It wasn't scripted as far as I know. Hugo coined it for Daniel's death in the bomb room in S1, and again during the Folly v Cedric insults thing. From there he just used it more and more frequently, and it really struck a chord with people.

Drassil

I was never bothered by 'Ooh, nasty'. (Do people still remember the 'Ooh, nice tea' joke that I posted last year?) But, by Series 8, I felt that Hordriss' use of the pronoun 'one' was excessive, and no longer intimidating. Perhaps he should have spoken more Latin...

?

The ooh nice tea joke was an instant classic Drass, I don't think i'll ever forget it.
