Confusion.

I think most of the time in the early seasons they could. Certainly Merlin and the wall mosters seem to respond to advisors answering the occasional riddle rather than the dungeoneer. I think most of the time though, the actors were either told to ignore the advisors, or they just couldn't hear them because they would mutter so.

Hmmm. I know that the dungeoneer had an earpiece to be able to hear the advisors through a mike. I presume the characters must have earpieces as well, because they sometimes communicate with Treguard. I don't think that it would be that difficult to make them unable to hear via the advisers' mikes.

If the Characters had headsets they would probably been seen. You would notice the lack of ear-hole even if make-up had been used to cover it.
One possibility is that there could have been some kind of monitoring system inside the 'Dungeon' half of the studio (I'm thinking a small PA system here, like backstage in a theatre).
Something similar will have to have been set up in the antechamber to allow the advisors to hear what is going on in the Dungeon. They aren't plugged-in in any way whasoever!
One of the Kelly-vision clips shows a Dungeoneer being 'wired' with a head-set. Presumably, He being able to hear the advisors is more important than most things. However the on stage monitoring should be sufficient for characters.
To add to HStorms early point:- I believe that characters could hear the advisors regardless of which series. There's a Scene in S5, forgotten which quest, where the advisors are discussing whether or not to give a bone to Hordriss. One of them (advisor) remembers the scroll "Give the dog a Bone" at which Hordriss gets highly indignant and gets his hackles up!

Yes, I do think it'd be a good question to ask TC.
And yes, that Hordriss scene is one of my favourites too.
