Barry!
I mean you no harm...
Well i am pleased to hear that
The girl team deserved their win i think, they did a good job and figured out what to do with the arken shield quickly (what am i saying, there were only 2 things they could do..) -
Barry has already had be and my older brother laughing and hes been questing all of 5 minutes...
Im looking forward to this quest!

Yay! Julie's team becomes a winning team! Actually, I knew from the start that they would win, as I remember watching this back on the 26th November 1993. A thoroughly excellent team all round, they definitely deserved their victory. It's nice to see the team all getting a Frightknight trophy each, too.
Anyways, now we're onto Barry's team! Probably my favourite team out of all the KM series, dungeoneer Barry's only met Brother Strange so far and has already established himself as being a dungeoneer who fully interacts himself in the quest. So far he's actually needed very little advisor help, managing to direct himself through the dwarf tunnel!
-
GREAT episode Of course, I knew that Julie was going to win but still enjoyed it immensely. Lord Fear is getting funnier by the minute, don'cha think?
And now all you guys who haven't seen Barry in action are in for a treat! I'm not saying any more if you don't want spoilers of course, hehe!

Yes another great ep. Just wondering how a rower manages to turn a boat, when rowing straight. Anyway The team got on with the qwest, without hardly any help apart from the room where they had to use the reveal wand. Again I reacon that they didn't need to use a potion to complete a puzzle. They made PYCR look easy. I liked the bit with Julie and Lord Fear and then with Gwen. I loved their reactions to winning at the end. Overall a great team and a well deserved and appreaciated win from the first and only all girl team. Well done.
So we're on to the everso famous Barry and gang. I liked the look on his face to what Majida said at the start. I liked the way he went through the dwarf tunnel at the start with a 'running commentary'. I found it funny when he jumped when Brother Strange appeared and the conversation was amusing too. Look forward to tomorrow's ep for more!

Great Episode and well done to the Girls, they were a very good team and they all worked well together and deserved to win.
So now onto Barry's Team, I cant wait to view his quest again, obviously I did watch it the first time it was shown on ITV all those years ago but cant remember it much so it will be good to relive all those memories.
Barry started off brilliantly, Very eager to start and was praticlly guiding himself round the tunnels(Great Stuff) Cant wait to see more tomorrow
-
Ever got the feeling that he had seen the dwarf tunnels before they filmed him in the dwarf tunnels.
Still I liked Lord Fears mocking of other characters.
-
I liked a lot of things about this episode, mainly that we finally got to see a winning team! I think this is the first time that Majida gets to see a team win, isn't it?
Nice bit of suspense at the end of Play Your Cards Right, with that music that makes you think they're going to die
And was it just me, or did the sword that Julie drew out of the stone look a bit too big for her? In the final room she was swinging it about a bit, and nearly cut Gwen's head off
What was with Lord Fear's final line? "I've got two minutes - you've got three hours to get out of here, Julie! I'll take two minutes!"
-
The 1st time the sword has been won i believe..
Come on Fear your not much competition are you on one on one action?
But over all level 3 was just as easy as level 2.
But according to that Green wizard he should now have completed his quest... but we know t=he hasn't.
And i still don't understand all the fuss with this Barry guy? Sounds like a complete fool to me.. big headed and all, not the kind of person i tend to like....
Well have to Waite as see maybe his not as annoying as i remember...

Uh huh. I'll skip over the obvious retort to that. Whatever else he was, Barry sure wasn't a fool. He talked non-stop and with considerable colour, forever going off at tangents, and this was a deliberate strategy on the part of his team; it confused the actors time and again throughout the quest and made it harder for them to stick to the plot, making the challenges harder to impose. (That's why Majida called him a smart bottom - the producers got really narked with the way Barry kept breaking up the flow and decided to call him a smart*ss on-screen.)
My favourite bit of the episode's a really subtle bit before the start of Barry's quest, when Majida asks Treguard if he's sure he wants to employ him. Barry glances over his shoulder with a look of feigned hurt on his face as if to say, "Who? Me?" I always think it's a nice touch when a dungeoneer goes the extra distance to play along with the actors!
-
Well atleast Barry's quest was for the shield and not the sword. Image if he had won the previous quest, I have an image of him defeating Lord Fear by using the sword to attack him instead of using the 'Arken' shield.
-
The part which made me plonder was in the "Play your cards right" part, where they hear the Goblin sounds. Why should they panic? Goblins can't leap that far! Anyway, it was a good episode, & they deserved to win. Don't know why they did Troll footstep noises where one didn't appear though. It's creepy!
-
Two things for me:
Julie herself almost blew her quest on PYCR.... she nearly touched the wrong card - also im sure she stepped into the gap, on her first jump/long stride - it looks like they move the camera away as she makes a mistake - like when they get on to Smirky.
Secondly.... OMG Barry is brilliant!!!!
He seems such a laugh - very clever tactics. Im going to really enjoy this....
