    when series 2 team 3 were slain by way of a hundred ferocious ferrets of various levels of malice consequently causing them to fall into a flagon of excriment where they all both suffocated and died simultaneously.

    Yes, that was a scary one!

      A few spring to mind:

      Series 3 Team 9.  The animation on this is quite funny.  The dungeoneer has to jump across a gap in Merlin's room because they miss the first step.  From what I remember, he lands and then turns a full 180º vertically without moving a muscle and floats away.  You might see it on Challenge if they show it.

      Series 8 Team 2.  How much blood does the average human have????????????????????????????????????

      Series 5 Team 2.  'This horn will grant you wishes beynod your wildest dreams.'  Yeah, right .

      Series 5 Team 7.  As a goblin the dungeoneer had a sort of helium filled voice.  The attempt at the password 'Red, Green, Blue and Grey' in the squeaky voice and the amusing 'Gulp' sound as the wall blocker swallows the dungeoneer was a good laugh.

      That's all I can think of for now.

      Cya.

        Definitely one of these two

        Already mentioned - "Mogdred's Little Playpen"

        and

        Danny in Series one turning the wrong way and being blown up by a fast-fused bomb.  Think this was the first of Treguard's trademark "Oooh Nasty"s!

          "I'm not a goblin!"

          That was pretty good. To be honest I was shocked when I saw Series 8 Team 2's death on the site - I had no memory of anything so horrific (well, gory at least) happening on Knightmare...

            I'd also like to put in an honourable mention for Series 2 Team 11, who after misreading POTION as POISON, were forced to try to offer Lilith an empty jar of humbugs. She naturally indulged in her favourite pastime of crumbling ledges.

              Ah, yes! Mogdred's Playpen. When I saw that originally it scared me sh*tless!

              In terms of funnies, though, the top award should always go to series 2 team 5. In the bomb room they just sat there looking at it for about half an hour before deciding that maybe they should leave!

              The POISON/POTION affair is funny too. All three deaths where Lillith threw the dungeoneer out are gems!

                Series 5, Team 7 was one of my favourites too, though it would have been funnier if they had been clubbed to death by Brother Mace in a case of mistaken identity.

                I also found Series 8 Team 1's death quite amusing, mainly because I'd practically been screaming "NO!!! Take the KNIFE, not the key you silly buggers!" at the TV. Can anyone remember if there were any other teams that died in the first episode?

                  LOL, perhaps they cut that scene and replaced it with the rather weird Blocker-eating-them one. I'd love to see the uncut version.

                    Series 1, 2 and 3 all had first episode deaths. Mind you, those were the days when the dungeon was ruthless! I hope the new series will be like that - getting rid of duffers is half the fun!

                      Two spring to mind here:

                      "Say hello to the goblin, and would you like a present?"

                      and of course...

                      "Simon - sidestep to your left..."

                        I also found Series 8 Team 1's death quite amusing, mainly because I'd practically been screaming "NO!!! Take the KNIFE, not the key you silly buggers!" at the TV.

                        Well, be fair, the rules did say "don't take weapons", and the dungeoneer was male (as in "green for a girl" etc.).

                        My favourite was Series 8 Team 3, the seemingly forgotten "sidestep to the left" death.

                          Has to be Series 8 Team 2.  The red stuff went everywhere.

                          Team 1 were killed off because they were too thick to understand the scroll.

                          "Green for a girl, black for a boy" clearly indicated the knife and pigeon droppings.  Although why they had to free Motley is a mystery.

                            Cos somebody needed to be 'dropping' the hint that his jokes were (pigeon) sh*t.

                              Hmmmm, presumably they'd have needed a "Float" spell or similar to go down the trapdoor if they'd got it open... maybe they'd have gotten that from Motley?

                                    Hmmm, corridor of blades? There were 2 in series 5, four over all (series 4 and 8 ).

                                    Hmm, seems I can still just pluck random trivia out of the air from time to time ...

                                      I hope Tim Child doesn't shy away from dungeoneer death in this new series. Km remains about the only show that kills off it's losing players, so do it as NASTILY as possible!!!

                                        Countdown does it too- they just don't want us to know about it.

                                          Yes, they're taken round to the back and stuffed into the furnace that powers the huge clock hand and the rotating Conundrum panel.
