Series 6 Ep 8

Ooh - nasty Seriously, that sucks, hope it improves soon!
I think this guy is called Ben - he only just started, it was January's quest before but she got killed by Hands.

It's certainly going to be a slow one, by the looks of things so far

I appreciate that, simiano

I have vague recollections of watching these the first time round, but couldn't tell you what happened in them...which is why it's lovely to find out every day, instead of having to wait a week like in the old days

Poor January looked petrified when Hands threw the rope over her just before she died - that sort of thing could leave someone traumatised for life!
So if she had put the ring on, what do you think would have happened? Would someone impersonating Lord Fear (but working for the powers that be) have appeared and got rid of Hands???

As you go on to say, this would be understandable, but, her face being obscured by the Helm, how exactly could you tell?

I think that when Lord Fear said that the ring would imitate him if worn, he meant that it would do something unpleasant to any enemies of the wearer (i.e. it would have appeared to be beginning a magical attack of some sort and Hands would have fled).

There is a potion in series 8 which turns someone into the spitting image of Lord F, so that ring might have been very much the same...
With Jan's team I have serious doubts that they would have got much further even if they had used the ring though, since I think they got the wrong item from Julius Scaramonger. (I haven't seen this episode since I last watched my video, but he does give them the spell-scroll, doesn't he?) Witchamber was quite clearly going to be needed to get through Witchaven and they didn't have it.

One burning question I have is:
At the end of January's quest when they're all seen leaving, why is January on crutches? Did she break her leg in between her kidnapping and filming their leaving scene? Perhaps because of her reaction to Sly putting the rope over her and dragging her, she put up too much resistance and ended up falling over which is why they used the original life force to cover it up?

It wasn't January, it was Sarah. From issue 2-1 of 'The Quest'-
Which of you clever people spotted the cast in episodes 7 & 8 then? No, not the cast, the cast - on Sarah Halsall's leg! Poor Sarah had rather a rough time of it whilst waiting for her to journey through the dungeon, and ended up on crutches for 6 weeks!
Whilst waiting for their quest to start, Sarah fell off her chair at the cinema. She went to hospital and told that she had torn an inside ligament. So, did all this prevent Sarah from returning to finish her quest?
"No way" she laughs. "We all returned to the studios on Monday, only this time I was on crutches! You should have seen all the looks I got. I took the huge splint off for the cameras, and just left the bandage on. The funniest thing was that I was going to be the dungeoneer until it happened, but January had to do at the last minute because I couldn't really walk!".
Poor Sarah - but what a story to tell everyone back at school! We think you're a real trooper Sarah, and if there was a prize for the bravest adventurer, you'd definitely get it!
