    Anyone remember Animaniacs? It had this segment which, as the title suggests, featured a good idea and a bad idea. Let's see if we can do some Knightmare ones.

    Good Idea: Growing a beard to look like Treguard.

    Bad Idea: Growing a head to look like Festus.

                And the team who also ignored Treguard in series 5, when they were told to take an arrow ("no Pickle, not a weapon, more like a token,") then they don't take it, take the poison, and have a weird idea about trying to hide a knife.

                Good idea for Simons team: "Walk forward"

                Bad idea for the same team: "Side step to the left."

                Simons team was in series 4.

                      Bad idea: "Spellcasting, S-P-A-D-E. Spellcasting, S-P-A-D-E. It's not working. Neil, say 'spade'..." THWACK!

                      Good idea: collecting the green energy plants in series 2.

                      Bad idea: attempting to chop them finely and sprinkle the pieces on mashed potato.

                      Good idea: talking to Mug, to convince him that he's not ugly.

                          Is the bad idea side-stepping to the OTHER right?

                            I think the "Good Idea" and ellipsis are quite sufficient.

                              Here's some that I've thought of:

                              Good idea: Challenging Cedric to a bout of riddles.

                              Bad idea: Challenging Cedric to a bout of fisticuffs.

                              (Series 5 Team 7)

                              Good idea: Attempting to get past a blocker with a password.

                              Bad idea: Attempting to get past a blocker with a causeway combination sequence.

                              (Series 7 Team 4)

                              Good idea: Crossing the Trial By Spikes using the squares.

                              Bad idea: Crossing the Trial By Spikes using steps.

                              (Series 8 Teams 6 & 7)

                              Good idea: Getting from Level 1 to Level 3 via Level 2.

                              Bad idea: Getting from Level 1 to Level 3 via the Corridor of Blades masquerading as a shortcut.

                                Good idea: Marta bends over and shows a hint of cleavage.

                                Bad idea: Mildread... vomits

                                Even worse idea: Ditto Mrs Grimwold... and we all know why!

                                  Good idea: "I am Granitas of legend, three riddles have I and truth I seek."

                                  Also good idea: ditto Olgarth, Igneous, Cedric, Merlin, Brangwen, Golgarach, Oakley... or anyone else who asks riddles. With one notable exception.

                                  Bad idea: "Snipper snap, snipper snap..."

                                  Brought on by the start of series 8 the other day.

                                    Here's another, while I think of it.

                                    Good idea: Treguard and Majida... get a room, you two!

                                    Bad idea: Treguard and Pickle...

                                      Good idea: flying on the back of Smirkenorff to reach Level 2.

                                      Bad idea: flying on a magic carpet to see the King Of The Potato People, and beg for your freedom... and you're telling me you're completely sane? I think that calls for two hours of W.O.O.

                                      'What happens to spying dungeoneers who've been spying, Mr Flibble?'

                                      'Lord Fear fries them alive with his hex vision!'

                                      Anyway, back on topic:

                                      Good idea: Giving Elita the gem she obviously wants.

                                      Bad idea: Taking half the program to decide to do so.
