What a tremendously fun Knightmare tribute project this has turned out to be. Ross, you wrote and edited this with love and care, and acted with gusto. Rosey, you brought Gretel to life with just the right mix of naivety and annoying-ness, and plucked Katie right out of Sir John Lawes School, Harpenden in the late '90s - I really was taken back in time! GeZ, your dungeoneer would slot nicely into a real episode of Knightmare, and your horse impression is - simply and undeniably - brilliant! Greg, you made the perfect "stupid-advisor-the-other-two-hate" character - everything you did with your voice to bring George to life was excellent!
I really enjoyed scripting and recording my own modest contributions to this, but all the credit for getting the project off the ground (and thinking it up in the first place) should go to Ross "Raven's Eye" "Granitas Is Cute" Thompson, who is always full of great ideas to help us express our appreciation and love for Knightmare and Raven. Roll on the next episode - there's plenty more fun to come!

Episode 2 is now up at http://knightmareaudioseries.webs.com ! Feedback appreciated!

I'm happy to say that Episode 3 has now been released at http://knightmareaudioseries.webs.com
Please, please have a listen and feedback would be greatly appreciated because we didn't get any for Episode 2. Thanks

Technically (i.e. editorially) this is the best episode yet. Well done, everyone, for some truly grin-worthy performances. Even though I shouldn't really single out one actor for special praise, there can be no denying that Andy makes the whole thing rather better than it would be without him. Get in your lines for the next episode quickly, cast - I want more!

Just listened to episode 3. For some terrible reason, I started hearing Hansel as The League of Gentlemen's Herr Lip. Couldn't unhear. I am a horrible, horrible human being.
Fun performances and excellent writing, definitely an increasing level of quality present, although I'm surprised by the use of .wma as the type of audio file you've gone for. You'd get a better audio quality out of .mp3 or .wav, it's well worth the extra megs in download.

This is definitely the funniest episode yet, and I don't think it will ever be out-funnied thanks to Mel and her team of bickering chavs - kudos must go to Rosey for creating them. (They're not entirely fictional, of course - you may sometimes be able to spot them hanging around outside your local secondary school after 3.30pm on weekdays.) I particularly enjoyed the two Grimwolds having a scene together - something that (criminally) only ever happened once on the original show, and must happen more in the audio series! Once again, thanks to all the cast for their voicework, and thanks to Ross for putting it together skilfully and patiently even in the face of my twelfth-hour nervous breakdown about something Igneous shouldn't have said (and now doesn't).

Episode 6 is now available at http://knightmareaudioseries.webs.com - have a listen and post your views if you can

Episode 6 is another great episode. Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved. Here are two things that struck me as working particularly well - Darren's frustration with his team-mates coming to a head at last, and the vocal and sound effects of the Giant scene.

Episode 7 is available for listening at http://knightmareaudioseries.webs.com

This episode is exciting! The bridge scene came out really well, as did the fumbling about in the dark scene, and the sword fight. Thanks, Ross, for putting the episode together so skilfully and swiftly. Who couldn't resist coming back for the next episode after listening to this one? Bring it on!

Episode 8 is now available at http://knightmareaudioseries.webs.com

I really enjoyed this episode, I was really glad to see Aden and co complete the quest, for the first time this series. I loved Cordelia's lot, they seemed like they were dim-witted school children (meaning the advisors not the actors) I loved Luke's debut as Steven and Phil's as Glum, who I'm hoping to see (or rather hear) more of in future episodes. I think it was ironic that a very successful quest was followed by a quest that ended on Level 1. Fantastic episode, can't wait for Ellie's debut next episode (that way all 3 members of the Tumbleweed Crew would have been in the Knightmare Audio Series ) and Becs's in the future.
I think overall this series is going great! I think it's funny how most of us (me, Ross, Greg, John, Lily*, Jacob, Ellie and Becs) were either born after Knightmare was finished or had never heard about it until recently, had got into the show and become part of this great series
*Although Lily was not in any episodes, she volunteered and still got into Knightmare only recently

Here are the things that I think work well in Episode 8:
It's good to hear a new voice (Phil Thompson) as Glum becuase it adds more vocal variety to the whole thing.
The same is true of Luke, who is our most convincing team member yet (vocally) because he's really the right age to be one.
The Medusa sound effect came out rather brilliantly.
Gretel kisses the team members - great!
Having the two extremes of how well (or not) a team can do contained in one episode is rather fun.
I'm giving my Performance of the Episode Oscar to GeZ as Tamsin. Also, I'm very annoyed with myself for saying "once more" twice so close together at the end!
