Series 5 - Episode 10
-
Jennas team were not as bad as some others, but they didnt bring anything special to the floor. I wonder why one adviser chose to say nothing at all?
I was team captain so that makes it Andrea's team. Jenna was just the dungeoneer, and you didn't even see her face through the quest.And what did you want us to bring to the floor? Flashy smiles, and sharp-witted humour?
One adviser chose to say nothing because she was 1) shy 2) hadn't seen the programme before 3) didn't know what was going on 4) was only there to make up numbers. I didn't even KNOW her!
I find it a teensy bit sad that people are still analysing episodes in depth, 17 years on. It's a bit like Star Wars fans - they scrutinise every last minute, and discuss everything like they're experts. Just watch the show, enjoy it, and CHILL!
If you didn't make it on to the programme, you DON'T have a CLUE what it was like filming it. It's COMPLETELY different to how it comes out. It's very disjointed, very overwhelming, and quite frankly, you don't have time to think. It's only afterwards that you get a pretty good idea of what's going on, but when you're filming a series you've never seen before, it's all brand new, and you don't know what they have planned. You also don't have years-worth of analysing previous episodes, because you may have watched the programme in the past when you were 11 years old, but you never actually expect to get on it. You're not watching every little thing, and taking in every little rule, phrase, comment, and mistake that every pervious team has ever made. It doesn't work like that.
And now I've refreshed my mind on series one, our team lasted a HELL of a lot longer than most of the early teams ever did. And at least we knew the phrase "side-step".
-
Analyzing is bad. xD
Your team did well (from what I can remember). You should be proud of yourself.
And yes, you were one of only a few teams to use the amazingly useful side-step maneuver.
-
I'm just really proud I was involved with such a top-notch show. It's better than any kids' shows I've seen in the last decade. (Not that I make a habit of watching children's tv.)
We were picked out of thousands of wannabees for that series, because Jenna and I flew through the audition, and we earnt our place on there. It was just very different when we were in the studio.
-
Believe it or not, I'm actually chuffed to bits that I'm in semi-contact with a team member I watched die when I was 4 years old.
Goodness, that's sad. xD

Said like that, it sounds quite metaphysical, too. In contact with someone who died in 1991? You must be a medium.
("No, I'm a petite, actually." Boom boom!)
What the hell am I talking about?

If you don't know, I sure don't! Something about Basil Brush?
Anyway, nice to see you on here Andrea....You didn't do too badly at all, just didn't get the right path sadly! I hope to hear more from your experience on the show.

That's just plain weird.Wasn't your team from Exeter, Andrea? Cos if you were, that's my birthplace!
Yeah, I was born here too, although my parents were living in Exmouth at the time. I've been here 25 years now.Anyway, nice to see you on here Andrea....You didn't do too badly at all, just didn't get the right path sadly! I hope to hear more from your experience on the show.
Anything specific you want to know, I'll be happy to answer, if I've got time. -
ANDREA was there anything interesting about the filming of KM. Anything interesting, that was different in the final show from what you guys experienced in the studio, I.e edited bits, things to do with how the rooms were set up, things on the screen ectc.........
Was every room shot in one take?
Did you get any quest advice that we didn't see?
Did you have to re-film any scenes because of any mistakes?

Yeah - they edited out a lot of us flaffing around. Jenna refused to give Julius Scaramonger the gold, so they cut about 5 minutes of us being indecisive. I think they also cut out a bit of conversation we had while we were stood on the floor puzzle, because I remember quite distinctly discussing with Kelly the fact that the helmet or shield shape looked like a Fright Knight's helmet, and that we should head for the sword because it was defensive. (We were following the "path of defense", and the Fright Knight's helmet suggested aggression.)Was every room shot in one take?
We only had one take of each scene, but there were breaks inbetween every single room, sometimes up to two hours long. By the time you went back in, you'd forgotten what was going on.Did you get any quest advice that we didn't see?
Tim Child came into the Green room after most scenes and discussed it with us, but more to tell us off than anything. He was generally quite a jolly man, but quite scary too when he was talking about the game. The only advice we had was from the pre-printed sheets which spelt out the rules of the show.Did you have to re-film any scenes because of any mistakes?
We weren't allowed to re-film anything, although Tregaurd and Pickle got 3 or 4 attempts at the episode 10 intro. The first time they filmed it, Treguard was stood in front of the screen, with the title sequence finishing - then as he started talking, the credits started rolling backwards again behind him!Then Pickle kept messing up the names "we have Andrea, Jenna, and Anna, guiding Andrea's sister, Anna" etc. They took it in good spirit though, and made us laugh the whole time. Jenna had three takes at entering the dungeon in the first place since she kept walking into the set wall beside the doorway - first the left wall, then the right wall! She also walks into the blue room wall at one point, and they even left the bump noise in, which is amusing.
Any other questions?

I liked the Sylvester Hands incident, with Pixel...
Actually, that whole thing was a bit of an accident. Jenna put down the box because she was struggling to get the food into the knapsack, allowing Sly to pick the box up. We didn't have to "use" it as such. When he'd been scared off, we couldn't actually hear a word Pixel was saying - the sound was awful, so when Pixel asked if we wanted to take her to Mount Fear, we didn't know what she was on about!For the record, when the scroll said "Don't open the box" and I asked Jenna if the box opened, what I specifically meant was is the box locked? If the box was locked, we might have needed to take the key too, to open it. She only had to see if it were able to open, not to actually open it.
Oh, also my mate wants to know if it was an easy task...
Eh? -
were the intro/end scenes for shows filmed after your quest or did your quest actually pause at the point when the "time-out gong" went at the end of the show.
We filmed the start of episode 10 several scenes after the Julius Scaramonger scene (where it paused), when they knew roughly where they were going to freeze it. Then we kept on with the quest.They filmed the end of episode 9 (while we were frozen) after we'd died - so when Tregaurd asks Pickle if we're potential winners, and he says "not in my book, master", it's because he knows we're already dead!

Nice to see you here on the forum, Andrea. Thanks for visiting. I hope everything works out with your band. Take care - there are a lot of unscrupulous and exploitative people in the music industry. Don't sign any 'binding clauses' handed to you by A&R people because it'll mean that you won't be able to sign to any other company. They'll have you completely trapped.
(Sorry, this is off-topic - rectifying now...)
That was a rather funny thing Pickle said, then ("not in my book, Master") - I wonder if there are any other in-jokes anywhere in the show?
