SOMETHING STIRS
-
Maybe they were going for the whole "Keith Richards" look
Whatever could you be referring to? Please, let's not turn this topic from 'Something Stirs' into 'Someone's Stirring'...
His name is Garstang.
Should he therefore have a Lancastrian accent?
If Garstang is a character named after a place, I wonder how many of Knightmare's places are named after people. A lot of them happen to be surnames, such as Vanburn, Dunkley, Wolfenden and Gore.
I still say he's an orc.
The KMVR Goblin codenamed Beveryafraid is now an orc named Garstang, however there isn't necessarily a conflict in that. In Series 3, Golgarach asked Scott's team what goblins are called in Tolkien, and the answer he sought was orcs; so maybe they're synonymous in the Knightmare realm too. Or perhaps when Lord Fear received his latest batch of goblins from Malapith, he decided to rebrand them as orcs in order to cash in on the success of the Lord Of The Rings films.

Solving this mystery may be beyond you so I'll help, although you're probably not going to believe this.....
Whilst teaching an artificial intelligence that it was an Orc/Goblin, I named it Beveryafraid (after myself).
However, as I taught it and it got cleverer, it wanted to know who was teaching it?
As I'd made it suspicious of humans, I told him that his teacher was another Orc called Garstang.
Sometime later - and perhaps because I was inexperienced in teaching an AI, he got confused, and decided HIS name was Garstang.
Rather than argue with him, I gave in and continued teaching him as Garstang.
..told you no one would believe it.

Is Garstang attending the meetings etc.? I imagine he would probably liven things up a bit.

Actually, those of us who've experienced the oft-staggering outspokenness of Caei, Knightmare Chat's resident chatbot, are able to believe almost anything when it comes to AI!
Out of interest, what has the 'evolutionary' journey been like between George at jabberwacky.com, whom you mentioned to us in a post two years ago, and Garstang?

Very intriguing
Obviously it'll be Knightmare-related I presume? DVD release? Repeats on ITV in same time slot? (How nostalgic would that be???)
I hope the new Knightmare VM or whatever it was called hasn't been commisioned, lol.

My guess, all along, has been either there are talks about Timegate, or more likely that as part of either the BBC or C4's intention of serving the currently unserved 11-16 year old demographic they're expressing interest in Knightmare.
