Series 1 - Episode 7
-
Couple of bloopers...
Frontal lumps in the shape of her blouse show clearly that Lillith wasn't wearing a bra in this episode, and the pie that Richard retrieves in the catacombite chamber clearly breaks as he picks it up, as a large chunk of it can be seen on the floor as he walks away.
Re: complaints about the life force clock being put back. Remember that the clock is only added in at the editing stage, which is weeks after the quest is filmed. Therefore even the production team don't know exactly what position the clock should be set at at any moment, only the condition colour. (This is why they invented the second, less linear, clock.) So the team didn't get away with it, the editors were just careless when they added the clock into the final recording.

Another fine episode, imo. I remembered lots of it from original broadcast, as with yesterday's one.
I notice that the pace of the series has shifted up a notch. It almost seems to be playing out like a kind of laconic series 2 now.
The insults contest was excellent, I think - it was great to see some interaction between characters. I don't think enough of that was done throughout Km. Granted, it threatens to distract from the game but as a bit of comic relief I don't think it could go wrong. I was always curious about how different characters would get on, which was why it was such a hoot taking part in the first Interactive Story just over a year ago.
I do get the vague impression that this team is being helped along a bit, though. There isn't as much ruthlessness as there was earlier on. I guess the people in charge wanted to try to give the audience a chance to see Level Three.

So now I know what Treguard did when Knightmare finished. He does the horse-racing commentary on Channel 4.

Although the insult match was amusing, I think I prefer Motley over Folly for the dungeon jester. Folly is just......weird.

Or maybe a ringmaster at a circus, or equally a commentator on the wrestling. A new-previously-unknown talent for Treguard unearthed. He seemed to be really enjoying himself.

I just remembered it was written in the Series 1 guide http://knightmare.com/series/1/p10.htm scroll down to near the bottom where it says "the dungeoneer mysteriously holds his nose when climbing in to the wellway." The start of the paragraph saying "They used the WELL spell". The dungeoneer in question was Richard.

Series 1 and someone's going to the next level down the well. He lifts one leg over the side, holds his nose and goes down! Barmy
Someone remind me... at any stage over the eight series, did any dungeoneer jump or fall into any (simulated) water?
The shark tank from series 3 that I have vague memories of doesn't count, as I'm assuming they didn't jump into it.

Sorry to bring this up after a long time, but I watched the video of this episode over the weekend and the team clearly knew what to do in the clue-room. As Richard entered, the advisor in the middle clearly said "I have seen this room before" to suggest that the team had seen the recording of the first quest, and knew what to do!
-
Today's episode was all about seconds- this was the SECOND time a snake was shown to roll out on the floor, the SECOND time the serpent's stomach appeared, the SECOND time Treguard said 'Ooh, nasty' and the episode ended in the SECOND level.
i think it was also the SECOND time a catacombite room was used and the SECOND time 2 food objects were in a clue room.
-
watching the ep. it feels like series 1.5- the pace feels like series 2 but has the style of series 1.
Definitely agree there - by that time they had obviously found their feet. In fact, I thought that team was in series 2 until I found this site (nearly five years ago!) and was able to see the episode guides.

"Well, there's only one way out of this, well two actually, but we won't go into that!"
I found two things funny in this episode:
a) The duel of insults with Cedric and Folly.
b) When Richard held his nose when climbing into the well.

One dungeoneer did jump into the shark tank, but only after they had emptied it of water. I do remember dungeoneers climbing out of the water in that room though.
