    Very true. I can see Merlin as host though. I mean, if Boris Johnson can host the show anyone can.

      I can see Brother Mace doing well as host - he had some good one-liners ("I sit here in my lonely cell, and I contemplate the follies of the wide world. And I also drink a lot of ale.").

      If the next RPG team does this, add in some games from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - Historical Headlines (suggesting how certain newspapers might report events from Knightmare, e.g. the Guardian corrections and clarifications: yesterday's headline, "Lord Fear sends drag queen to castle" should have read "Lord Fear sends dragon in parcel", or the Daily Mail: "Trolls cause destruction - no Britons hurt"), Stars in their Ears (singing well-known songs in the style of Knightmare characters), Salesmen of the Century (two people improvise roles as Knightmare characters while two others implausibly try to sell them things) etc.

      Also, if any of you can do decent (or half-decent) impressions of any Knightmare characters or Dead Ringers favourites, I've written some Dead Ringers-inspired skethces and prank call ideas (e.g. William Hague ringing Tim Child to ask him to confirm or deny a rumour that a new series of Knightmare is forthcoming in the hope that there might be a part for him, ideally some sort of cross between Lord Fear and Sylvester Hands [thinking he could be very good as a balding, scheming crook who leads the Oposition and plots to take over the realm but is drunken, ugly, thoroughly disreputable, universally derided, never able to make up his mind about how to deal with his opponents and more of a hindrance than a help to the Opposition and had only one brief success in four years]) that you may wish to look at for a few seconds before rejecting out of hand . Pooka can vouch for their quality or lack thereof.

        Of course, for inaccurate links, endless website addresses and what is known in the business as 'sheer f[BLEEP!]-upness', I see only one choice for the role of HIGKFY presenter...

          Heh. I still think he'd do a better job than Boris Johnson though.

            Ideas are noted, we may have time to do it in the Summer as part of the post-RPG6 project list....Is very appealing.

              Boris "ha, ha, ha, richly comic i say i say I say" Johnson is a legend. Let it be sung throughout the ages.

                      hmmm..... It sounds just like something that would be easy to do, considering how many people they hasve managed to get through!

                        To be honest, I'd prefer Mark Knight or Paul Valentine.

                          I reckon that Mark Knight dressed as Lord Fear presenting the show would be quite amusing.

                          "...and at the end of that round is stares into pool of verasity aka monitor ..."

                            Mark Knight wouldn't need the autocue since with the Pool of Veracity.

                              I can picture Lissard sitting on a nearby panel next to Ian Hislop (if Lord Fear is presenting)

                                And have Sly Hands on Paul Mertons team. An Opposition member of both sides.

                                If Lord F was presenting then he would insult anything he could.

                                Anyone fancy writing about it?

                                  I can certainly imagine MK doing this, yet having the DM as the presenter is something which amuses me also. Perhaps the ought to be on opposing sides, with Lord Fear alongside Ian Hislop, at least they'll have one thing in common, in that they both tend to lose more than they tend to win. 😉

                                    As I understood it, Lord Fear usually won... 😕

                                      or better yet have a weakest link with the actors dressed as the characters- lord fear up against anne robinson, now that could be interesting!

                                      treguard, lord fear, majida, hordriss, motly or sylvester hands, melin or mogdread, cedric (i think thats the name of the monk in seris 1-2).

                                      as long as they were in character, it could be a good laugh

                                        Well...yes, I guess I was considering his big master plans. A case of do what you will, consider the consequences once you've failed miserably! (Something which relates to RPGs own Lord Wraith, too!)
