Knightmare Commentary Tracks

Good job.
Please could you let me know which of mine/mine and Jake's are WMAs so that I can convert them to WAVs and send them to you.
Thanks
-
OK, I'll send them as WAV files via Sendspace.
Just realised another one that's missing - Rosey and me talking about Series 7 Episode 8. I'll Sendspace that as a WAV to you too.

Season 2, Episode 8, with Rosey Collins [26/9/2010] http://www.mediafire.com/?y4vk64szq9sx5ar
Season 2, Episode 9, with Rosey Collins [26/9/2010] http://www.mediafire.com/?dfrct8cqd6kx160
These are .wma files and I can't convert them, but they're not going anywhere so you (Andy or Martin) could just put the MediaFire links on The Dunshelm Players website. The same goes for the "Le Chevalier" commentary.
-
By the way, I think my S8 E9 and mine and Rosey's S7 E8 are missing too

El Rescate del Talisman Commentary by Jake Collins & Ross Thompson (30/10/2010) http://www.mediafire.com/?aqlqsseqa6qspj1
-
Probably said this before plenty of times, but these commentaries are fantastic. They remind me of when me and my brother would watch the repeats on Challenge/Sci Fi and talk endlessly about cack going on in the episode, paying not a blind bit of notice to the plot or stuff like that. Not that these commentaries are anything like our conversations, because they actually have a sense of humour.
The commentaries also have a replay value matching that of the series. It's nice to pick a random commentary once in a while and listen to other people discussing the same nonsense we did all those years ago.
Thanks to everyone concerned, and keep up the excellent work! Interesting to hear all these different opinions.
-
We forgot to post the Youtube links for the El Rescate episode we commentated on - here they are:

This link on the Dunshelm Players site links to the WRONG commentary:
Series 2, Episode 5, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?5eztiuqnyzm
And I couldn't get these ones to open at all:
Series 2, Episode 10, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?jm23gzdyiuy
Series 3, Episode 2, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?mgjty2yennj
Series 6, Episode 6, with Jake Collins & Andy Marshall http://www.mediafire.com/?mh0zz1znmtz
Series 6, Episode 10, with Jake & Rosey Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?4y4xmjznmue
Series 6, Episode 11, with Jake & Rosey Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?nknymnbg5tk
I have included the MediaFire links in case they need to be re-uploaded to the Dunshelm Players site!
-
Yes. Very yes, in fact. Along with yours and Rosey's Sidriss sketch, and all previously-not-on-the-website commentaries. It'll be the equivalent of waiting decades for a bus and having over 9000 turn up at once. Or something.
But really, stuff will be going up over the next couple of days.
-
This is very good news indeed. If you're sorting out commentaries, I did a trawl of all mine and Rosey's just before Christmas and I found only one that still doesn't link to the right file. I posted this in the Commentaries thread too, but here it is again, with the MediaFire link in case you need to re-download the original file:
Series 2, Episode 5, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?5eztiuqnyzm
-
Also during that trawl, I found a bunch of commentaries that weren't opening at all. I thought maybe that was just a glitch on the day, but Rosey tells me these are still not working. Again, I've included the MediaFire links in case you need the original files.
Series 2, Episode 10, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?jm23gzdyiuy
Series 3, Episode 2, with Jake Collins http://www.mediafire.com/?mgjty2yennj

-
Other ones missing are mine and Jake's Le Chevalier and El Rescate, S7 E8 with Rosey and me and S8 E9 with me. All the links are in the Knightmare Commentary Tracks thread.
-
Also, I've just heard from Rosey that my commentary for the final episode of Series 2 cuts out after about a minute, so I guess that needs re-uploading!

Here are some MP3s of the three very quiet commentaries with me and Ross, and I personally think this is the clearest version of these anyone's managed to make so far. So if anyone ever wants to stick them with the rest of the commentaries, or just download them for their own selfish pleasure, here they are:
Series 5, Episode 15 http://www.mediafire.com/?i8ek9blo5e2bvcb
Series 5, Episode 16 http://www.mediafire.com/?w4ahv8j5k8jij7k
Series 7, Episode 4 http://www.mediafire.com/?j82oul8u1nssp8w

I've just had a look through and make a list of all the commentaries that have been done, and have noticed that four are missing:
Series 2 Episode 5 - Rosey
Series 7 Episode 8 - Rosey & Ross
Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe - Jake & Ross
El Rescate del Talisman - Jake & Ross
-
I've been listening to these and finding them almost as addictive as the episodes themselves - many thanks for recording them! I haven't always agreed with what's been said, but they're very interesting and entertaining nonetheless, sometimes pointing out things I hadn't noticed before, and totally hilarious at times. (I particularly enjoyed Jake & Rosey's ranting about Anthony Donovan, haha - glad it's not just me who thought his improvisation skills were terrible! Their impression of Christopher's Blocker death really cracked me up as well.) Great work guys. It's a shame none of the ex-contestants are still around on the forum - wouldn't it be cool to hear some of them record a commentary track!
Any chance of re-uploading the missing Rosey commentary (S2 E5)? The link in this thread has expired.
Btw, the Spanish castles were actually filmed by the Knightmare team, rather than swapped with El Rescate Del Talisman as speculated on the Series 7 commentaries. It's mentioned in the Summer 1993 issue of The Quest, and Mark Wells told me that he went over there twice - "once for a recce, and then again a few weeks later with the crew to do the actual shooting." I don't know if they used the footage in the Spanish version as well.
Speaking of which, I must listen to the commentaries for the French & Spanish episodes now!

It's always great for me to read how much you're enjoying the little treats that I and some of my closest chums have poured our melodious voices into, Canadanne, and for this I thank you with all the thanks I have.
Sadly, we don't have a copy of that particular commentary of Rosey's as it was on an old computer that broke, so the only hope for a re-upload is that Martin and/or Andy still has it. Perhaps, someday, all the dodgy commentaries will be fixed and re-uploaded where necessary - I hope so.
I've always tried to express a lot of opinions when commentating, as it is easy to get bogged down in too much description if you don't, and I think the good thing about hearing another fan's opinion or take about something is that it sometimes allows you to see and/or understand it in a different light, even if you don't specifically agree with what's been said. I have found this to be particularly true with the commentaries of my good chum Ross "Granitas Is Cute" Thompson, whose infinitely astute observations have opened new possibilities to even a wizened old Knightmare fan like me.
I now wish I could go back and quote those issues of TQ when talking about the Spanish locations, but fortunately my observations were in the right country - I'm happy about that, at least.

I didn't have any trouble listening to the commentaries on the website, so I think the problems you mentioned a few months ago have either been fixed or were just temporary glitches. Shame about that one being lost, I hope someone has a copy of it.
It is certainly interesting to hear the different viewpoints on everything - it's good how a number of fans have contributed to these tracks, and I would love to hear what others have to say!
