    In fact, FK, if I recall correctly I was a bit put off by Hugo's acting throughout this season. He seemed to be over-embellishing the delivery of every regular line he gave, especially "Oooooh nasty!"

      A brilliant start to Series 8. Am loving the return to Series 3 in that Teams can now die in Level 1 instead of being let off. They must've decided that they weren't going to be as forgiving in this series. The graphics are absolutely brilliant and like in previous posts I really like how the dungeoneer must step through the gate to begin the game.

      The 2nd team seem quite interesting so i cant wait to see how far they get tommoro!

        Nice new environment for Lord Fear. I think it Knightmare had had its 9th series, it would have been interesting.

        Anyway, Seen some knice rooms so far, allthough the fabulous level 3 hasn't appeared just yet. The Antechamber looked great! I'd forgotten about it being that way, and more classic majida and Treguard at the end over the fire!

          Wow.... great episode.

          Shame about team 1, but then again.. duh!!!!

          The Knew red dragon Bhal-Shebah claimed its first victim.... i think the reach wand is involved in that puzzle.

          4 rooms in level one? i was quite shocked.

          Team 2 seem a bit disasterous... kneeling down to use a spyglass? . lets see how it goes....

              no, the eyeshield is slightly cumbersome. i dont have the best balance in the world and when i had it (temporarily, wasnt on a team, long story), i would probably have had to get on one knee to be able to hold an item and balance properly when holding the spyglass infront of the eyeshield.

                  I first saw this episode at the end of my first week of secondary school, almost ten years ago.

                  Looking at series 7 and 8, the direction the show was heading seems quite obvious to me now. Series 8's graphics are entirely computer-generated - the (at the time of writing) only series to boast this. The antechamber has been revamped for the first time since before series 4. The famous Dungeon Door is gone. All series of Km were unique but series 8 stands out a lot more than others. Series 9 appears to me to be the logical conclusion of the progression made in series 7 and 8. We first saw computer-animated faces in the Brollochan, after all. The ten-year break and accompanying technological advancements have allowed series 9, the next logical step in the evolution of the show, the chance to happen.

                    Actually, isn't the ante-chamber just one of the larger medieval rooms from The Crystal Maze? Looks cosy...

                      Yea, I remember series 8 the most. I love the sound effect when Bhal-Sheba appears with the slowly increasing sound of the deep raspy breath, much more scary than troll foot steps. And those graphics in the end credits for Marbelhead (I think), Knice.

                            There is a handy 'delete' button that you can use.

                            I have always enjoyed the atmosphere of S8, especially episode 1. Not over the moon on Treguard intro, however. It does not feel very personal to the viewer.

                              I know this makes 4 posts on one episode for me (although one of them doesn't really count), but weren't team 2 excited when they rushed in? Treguard must've thought they were going to give him a hug.

                              "This isn't Fun house, boys!"

                                Lol, yea and the middle last guy stopped suddenly and the very last guy ran into the back of him. Especially when the Giddeon guy shouted STOP and almost had a heart attack when the snap dragon jumped out, that was funny.

                                  I've heard that they had to stop filming several times during that quest because they kept getting over-excited. I wonder how much of it made the Christmas tape.

                                      That wasn't Tiny, Tiny is half the size of the Miretrog.

                                      Lord Fear hasa a second Red Dragon. Lets hope it doesn't crush by one AGAIN.

                                          You know I've just had another thought over why Team1 failed to pick up the knife, it kinda makes sense.

                                          I think the way they read the scroll was to pick up something Black If you were a boy being the dungeoneer(Which Richard Is,DUH) or to pick something Green up if you were a girl being the dungeoneer, So as it was Richard being the dungioneer, they thought they should pick up something Black( The pigeon droppings) because its Black For a Boy and something else not being the knife.

                                          It would have been really curious to see if this theory was correct if one of the girls was the dungioneer.

                                          Saying this though, I still thought it was quite obvious it should be the knife anyway along with the pigeon dropping so there still is no excuse.

                                          Well thats what I think, I just cant think of any other logical explantion over why they never picked the knife. What do you think?? ??
