    Ask whether Sight potions/spells were actually essential to complete the room that they were used in, or whether they could be done without.

      What would a winning quest in series 1 and 3 have looked like (with special reference to the teams that made it to Level Three)?

      What is the current situation regarding TimeGate and the new Km?

      What would series 9 have looked like had it come in 1995?

      How was the Life Force Clock made?

        I have just found the old thread:

        http://www.talkknightmare.co.uk/forum/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=4;action=display;num=1056150427

        It's worth reading before posting questions incase you put a question that's already been put !

          Thanks for the link, I know I have started one before but as I said, it fell through, so any new questions posted will be considered too.

            Reguarding the old thread, on the subject of who where the goblins played by I'm not sure if it has been asked (as I couldn't see it, but it might've been) but who played the flower seller, drinks server and JS's assistant and who played other uncredited characters?

            I have another one what did his daughters think about the whole thing, did they enjoy it and being there?

            What does he think of fans thought's and ideas (such as on this forum) even if they are criticising i.e. graphics, objects, characters, etc.?

              That's a great question.

              Why was the original life force animation changed? Why was the walking man replaced with the pie/cake/quiche? Was it merely a tacit acceptance that life force meant less and less, or perhaps hadn't been important at all except for atmosphere or to hurry teams, or were there other reasons? Finally, is it a pie, a cake, or a quiche?

              I'll think of some more.

                    Dungeon Doom!!!!!!

                    May we see it or at least get a 'quest guide' to it??

                    'Time-Busters' AKA 'TIM busters' - What happened? (I'm fishing for anecdotes here)

                    KM, Interceptor, Cyber-Zone, Virtually Impossible, Treasure hunt, They all use the same premise of Intercom style communication between observers and a player/s in the field (a la FBI 'command from the van'). Initial inspiration and anything you would have liked to try for interactivity but couldn't due to time or budget??

                    Any chance for more KM outtakes or backstage memories?

                      As I stated on the Joanne Heywood interview post, I will be sending off the q's tomorrow night.

                      Also, I am attempting to get a few more people to do interviews, I'll let people know if any more come along.

                        Just a small question but how do you manage to get all these interviews?

                          Why the sour face? By happy for the chance.

                          Racking brains here, Mr K.

                          Right... I'd like to ask: Fridays at 4:40 were the perfect slot for the best show on CiTV, and in my opinion, the best time of year as well, but why specifically was the show broadcasted between September - December, and what advantages were there for this decision? (Considering only one dungeon ending carried any notion of Xmas theme).

                          Given Knightmare's proven popularity, was it ever considered to enlarge the show or create two series per year? Was the 'scarcity' factor something that really kept the fans and made it so intense and addictive?

                          Any more come up, I'll edit them in or post new.

                          Cheers Kieran.

                            (Just carrying this one over from the other board...)

                            Could the in-game characters hear the advisors talking all the time?

                              Probably?

                              But I presume thats a question for Tim, eh?

                                'Time-Busters' AKA 'TIM busters' - What happened?

                                I can answer this one, but obviously it can be asked again if Kieran wishes.

                                Basically TimeBusters did not have very good audience figures in its weekend morning slot on BBC 2. This may have been because that time slot is usually more suited to animation shows for younger viewers. Tim Child asked the controller to move TimeBusters to a weekday afternoon slot, but they wouldn't move it. It was stopped after three series.

                                  Well first of all....As Keith said, why the ':('?

                                  I get the contacts either through agents or the fact they email me first (in the case of Tim Child, he emailed me first)

                                  Thanks for the questions everyone, they have now been sent off.  As Nic covered the TB question there is little point in me asking that one again.

                                    Tim Child contacted you to arrange an interview? That is very interesting indeed. Question: Why would someone seek an interview of themselves? Answer: when they have information that they would like to impart.

                                      No, that isn't what I meant.

                                      I brought up the topic of doing an interview, but he originally contacted me in the first place (not about the interview, but to ask me some questions).

                                      So he never asked for this interview, I did, and he said yes.

                                          Hi all,

                                          I have received a full reply from Tim, still awaiting the final answers from Ed Dehn and Joanne Heywood, which should be finished soon.

                                          I can assure you all that there are some good items within this interview, a maybe 1 or 2 surprises.
