Re:Billy's Picky Website Corrections...and other people's, too!

Canadanne

I'm as picky as the next person around here, so here are some that I've spotted...

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-1/953-s1q6.html

A few corrections to the Cedric/Folly duel of insults:

~ Cedric's "I guard these walls" should be "I guard these halls".

~ Folly's "En contre my dear mindless monk, en contre" should be "Au contraire". (I notice this was listed as having been corrected here, but... it hasn't!)

~ Cedric's "What do you fancy then tinsel-brain, fool..." should be "What do you fancy then, tinsel-brain? Swords..."

~ Folly's "harsh words have already been spoken" was actually "harsh, offensive words have been spoken".

~ Treguard's "Ooooh, and a lovely shunt from Folly" should be "a lovely shot".

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-7/1017-series-7-teams.html?start=1

From Barry's quest, Level 2:

~ "Fidjit opens the door for them to the fire ball room where they find a potion." They already had the Fireproof potion (from the earlier clue table) - they actually find some witch amber, which is what they went in there for. Also, it's called the Firebomb Room, not the fire ball room.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-5/982-series-5-powers-that-be.html

~ Sir Hugh de Wittless should have two T's, not one.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-6/996-series-6-opposition.html

~ "The Leader of the Opposition moved to new headquarters this season, Mount Fear". He was already at Mount Fear in Series 5, he just had a new chamber this year.

~ Dreadnought should be Dreadnort.

There are quite a few typos in the pages of The Quest - I don't have time to go through them all at the moment but can do so later if you want.

I also remember noticing several broken images on the website when I was exploring a couple of months ago, but I didn't make a note of where they were. I'll have another look for them at some point.

KaM

All done. Thanks.

"Au contraire". (I notice this was listed as having been corrected here, but... it hasn't!)

My bad. There are certain corrections where you do want people to see that you are not making it up. Frustratingly, the gaffe referred to in the alternate thread involving the Brollachan I have seen since, but I failed to note it again then. Perhaps it was altered and forgotten about.

There were a handful of additional errors on the pages you highlighted, so I'm grateful for having had reason to check through them. To name a few:

Teams, S7, Quest 3: force a field. The spirit of Ridolfo lingering?

Teams, S7, Quest 3: Lissard has instructed a troll to destroy the dungeon. Perhaps not...

Teams, S7, Quest 7: Met Rothberry and traded a potion for another piece of the staff he had. That's not strictly true. Rothberry gives them the potion back!

Series 1, Quest 6: 'paladin' was incorrect.

There are always so many to be found.

There are quite a few typos in the pages of The Quest - I don't have time to go through them all at the moment but can do so later if you want. I also remember noticing several broken images on the website when I was exploring a couple of months ago, but I didn't make a note of where they were. I'll have another look for them at some point.

Any help is always welcome and appreciated.

I'll see about anchoring quests on 'Team' pages, so it will be easier to direct towards any one quest rather than a page of several.

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1148-quest-134-5.html

~ "She loves a world of show and ice".

Have fun going through that lot...

Canadanne

And a couple more issues of The Quest. Again, some of the spelling mistakes may have appeared in the original newsletter, in which case I don't know if you prefer to correct them or keep them in, but I've highlighted them anyway. (I think it would be more enjoyable if it was easier to read, so it may be worth fixing the punctuation and blatant typos / scanning errors at least.)

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1156-quest-212.html

~ "...have fallen on death ears..." Should be "deaf"!!

~ "...so that we don't all have to listen to him practicing..." Should be "practising".

~ "The Frightknights stopped what they were doing faced Hordriss," - needs a comma after "doing".

~ "As they did so, a noise erupted from their metal" - needs a full stop.

~ "You saved the villagers and the Powers That Bell" - I assume the l's should be exclamation marks?!

~ "Perhaps you should crawl back to you dingy hove..."

~ "With that be disappeared..."

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1154-quest-214-5.html

~ "...some pretty wierd things..."

~ "...Marlene Deitrich..."

~ "Our visit to Cheltenham was going to he a chance..."

~ "Daddy acking in Chom Pom with On-go" - I presume this should say "Oo-go" (Hugo) as in the previous instance.

~ "...and Tolah got down to the job of re-creating the cit." Name should be Tulah according to the previous sentence. What is the "cit"?? Should it say "elf" perhaps?

~ "...I knew the show would he doomed."

~ "We needn't have worried" - should this have a dash or semicolon after it?

~ "...a dozen jimmys..." Needs a capital J.

~ "With an "ooh" and an "aah" and bags of laughter the show whistled by" - needs a full stop.

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1153-quest-216.html

~ "perhaps he was thinking..." Needs a capital P.

~ "Oh don't he ridiculous"

~ "Brother Mace was busy preparing the dinner" - needs a full stop.

~ "It was tradition for at the Castle..." I don't think the word "for" should be there.

~ "Suddenly, a cry went up, and everyone turned to see Elita stuck on top of the Christmas tree!" This sentence is included twice - the first has a couple of errors but the second is correct.

~ "...now exactly who's jokes were you saying weren't funny?" Should be "whose".

~ "I think this one's hilarious!" Missing a quote mark.

~ ""I can't say I was impressed with the did Sidriss, examining one of the used crackers." Eh? Apart from the missing quote mark, I'm not even sure what this is supposed to say!

~ "I even went all the way to Harrolds to get the big place in the centre of the forest." Eh??

~ ""I'm sorry Pickle, but I have to agree" said Treguard. /" Random forward slash!

~ "...said Gundrada sounding rather dismayed" - needs a full stop.

~ The "Next Page" link takes you to page 7 of the previous issue.

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1152-quest-217.html

~ "...and the nasty Lord Fear" - needs a full stop.

~ "...and with him on our side a against Lord Fear..." Random "a" needs removing.

~ "If so, sort of characters would you like to in Knightmare?" Seems to be missing the words "what" and "see".

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1163-quest-221.html

~ "...Arlo Wörts has come up trumps with our Smirk with Smirkenorf cartoon..."

~ "It seems to have moved further away than ever today" - needs a full stop.

~ "...we don't loose track of magic..."

~ "It's certainly true that not all faerie is good, in those and wrong, cruel and kind, fair and fool." This sentence doesn't appear to make sense, but I'm not sure what it ought to say. I also wonder if the "fool" is meant to be "foul".

~ "There a many different names..."

~ "In Knightmare*.** Pooka's don't always attack...*" Should be a comma, not a full stop. (There shouldn't really be an apostrophe there either...)

~ "Geists*.** or Stormgeists can also be disturbed...*" Should be a comma, not a full stop.

~ "Geists prove fatal, but they can cause considerable damage to Life Force..." Is this sentence missing the word "rarely"?

~ "Goblins of course, we have a plenty." Should be one word.

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1160-quest-224-5.html

~ "I'm sorry Master but I am afraid you'll have to speak up!" shouted Pickle!". There shouldn't be a quote mark at the end.

~ "The village we are heading is for Castleden!" Should be "for is" I think.

~ "...on the otherside of Woldglade!"

~ ""But how can we ever hope to reach Knightmare castle from here in this weather?" He asked**,**" - needs a small "h" and a full stop.

~ ""Now that the storm has gone we can go straight to Knightmare Castle and" - missing a quote mark.

~ "...raised a little too tar"

~ "We if must hurry on Master!" The "if" shouldn't be there.

~ "...and they set of again."

~ ""Oh no!" Exclaimed Pickle." Should be a small "e".

~ "...the events of the last fewminutes..."

~ "...as he strode purposely forward..." Should be "purposefully".

~ ""I know this place said Treguard" - missing a quote mark.

~ "Erm.. no Master Replied Pickle" - quote mark in the wrong place, and should be a small "r".

~ "The huge Knight fell down the steps, disintegrating as it tell."

~ ""You must go on without me, my leg is very badly hurt As you wish." said Treguard" - missing two quote marks between the sentences.

~ ""Wish me luck!" He cried, picking up the Frightknight's sword..." Should be a small "h", assuming Treguard didn't randomly burst into tears after speaking!

~ ""Why you...muttered Treguard." Missing a quote mark.

~ "...all you must do is strike me once with that word and I will surrender" - I guess this is meant to be "sword"?

~ "So, it was you who saved me! exclaimed Treguard, how can I ever repay you?" Missing a couple more quote marks.

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1159-quest-226.html

http://www.knightmare.com/fanzine/108/1158-quest-227.html

~ "...aluminum suspended in resin powder..." Do we have to use the American spelling?!

Series 4 Teams Page - Team 8

For some reason pictures of the advisors Andrew and Brett are appearing twice in the team's quest summary. I'm guessing that the picture of Merlin in the opening chamber of Level 3 (which just happens to be in the Level 2 description) should be here instead.

Alerted by this, this led me to head over to the Knightmare Guestbook and dig out the original guestbook entry that dungeoneer Giles made back in June 2000 (over ten years ago now - click here to see the entry, at present its the fifth entry down). This isn't currently featured with the other guestbook entries made by Giles and advisor Robin should you wish to add it when making proposed amendments.

Fidjit

Wow! Now that's picky! lol

http://www.knightmare.com/behind/experiences/1040-paul-boland-description.html?start=2

'After the show ended, I started to make Knightmare computer games. In total, 16 adventures were created, however, they were made using Harvard Graphics 3.0 for DOS and will only run in that software so unless you have it, you can't play the games.'

We now know that this is no longer the case.

Mystara

I think it is still the case. The article you point to says:

"First, when the transfer was made, the games lost all their playability and what I ended up with was a collection of slides"

Interactive as they may be made, they're still a collection of slides. I don't think it's unfair to say "they only play in Harvard Graphics 3.0"

Drassil

I found Knightmare 16 quite playable, and I don't (knowingly) have Harvard Graphics 3.0 for DOS. But that is not really the point.

I suppose the point I was trying to make was that readers coming to Paul's 2004 article directly may be unaware that as of 2011 his creations are available elsewhere on Knightmare.com, because the two articles don't appear to be linked. The purpose of this thread is to improve the website, and that's all I was really attempting to do. I didn't think I'd be a target myself.

Mystara

Fair point, I will update it.

Drassil

We can surely expect a surge in visitors (some from the media) to Knightmare.com over the next few weeks, and we want it to represent Knightmare and the fandom as well as possible. The coincidence of anniversaries, plus the cinematic return of Knightmare's godfather Tolkien to the limelight, makes this a very special Knightmare flag-waving opportunity that may never come again. If ever there were a time to get Knightmare.com looking its best, I would suggest that that time is now.

While I don't wish to steal thunder from Keith (insert 'Thunderland' joke here), the TQ typos listed earlier in this thread by Annie (thank you for doing so) almost two years ago have remained unaltered, so I've taken the liberty of correcting them. I don't know what to do about all the apparently-non-displaying TQ pictures though. (They are still in place in archived versions of the website.) We really could do with scans of The Quest if anyone is willing and able to provide them at long last. If you do not have a scanner but would be willing to post your copies of The Quest to me to be scanned, please let me know.

The original guestbook entry that dungeoneer Giles made back in June 2000 (over ten years ago now - click here to see the entry, at present its the fifth entry down). This isn't currently featured with the other guestbook entries made by Giles and advisor Robin should you wish to add it when making proposed amendments.

Thanks for the link, James. I've taken the liberty of adding this to the Series 4 Teams page.

I noticed also that the Series 7 landing page started with the words 'Series 7: 1992'! That too has now been put right.

Canadanne

Good job, David! I hope someone knows how to fix all the missing images on the TQ pages, and also in some of the old news items (see below).

Some time ago I noted down a bunch more errors I had spotted, but didn't get round to posting them here as the last batch had yet to be fixed. Here they are:

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-7

~ Jacquelin Joyce's name was spelled wrong on the Series 7 main page. (This is currently not visible as the bottom of the page is missing, due to the still-not-fixed problem of imposed character limits affecting several important pages.)

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-3/965-series-3-level-1?showall=&start=1

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-3/967-series-3-level-3

~ In the Series 3 level guides, the Fire Cave has no image or description, and the Level 3 Dwarf Tunnels have the wrong image (the hobgoblin scene).

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-4/980-series-4-teams

~ In the Series 4 teams guide, under Nicky's quest it says "Accepted a challenge from Hordriss, but he did not say what it was." Eh? He asked her to redeem the Dagger of Darkness for him.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-4/977-series-4-level-2

~ In the Series 4 guide to Level 2, one of the images at the top doesn't match the description: "On the right, this room was used when a dungeoneer needed to change size to fit through doors (as in Dickon's quest)." No it wasn't... that was a totally different room, which wasn't the first room of Level 2.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-5/986-series-5-level-1

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-5/986-series-5-level-1?showall=&start=1

~ In the Series 5 guide to Level 1, "this picture shows Brother Mace playing cards with Sylvester Hands!" Not unless they recently drank an invisibility potion, it doesn't.

From the second page, "Werewolves in the background" - LOL what?? Is there any particular reason to believe the townsfolk are werewolves?

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-6/993-series-6-level-2

~ In the Series 6 guide to Level 2, "Courtyard with Scaramonger" shows a duplicate image of the clue area outside the castle. Several typos and misspelled names: "propsed", "Peggarty", "Dreadnaught", "Heggarty", "Sidress".

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-6/996-series-6-opposition

~ In the Series 6 Opposition guide, "The Leader of the Opposition had a new chamber in Mount Fear this season, whilst retaining his communications pool." The pool was new for this series! (He had a crystal ball before.)

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-7/1017-series-7-teams

~ In the Series 7 teams guide, the link to a scan of Team 3's clipboard notes gives a 404 error.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-8/1008-series-8-teams?showall=&start=1

~ In the Series 8 teams guide, it says "Nevertheless he gives them a spell to open the trapdoor, then also gave them a FLOAT spell use on the trapdoor. Rothberry tries to go down with Michael, but it doesn't work!" This is wrong - he only gave them one spell (FLOAT), and used a flying potion to prevent himself from falling through the trapdoor, which he opened for them by jumping on it. (The first sentence also has a missing word and inconsistent tense.)

Further down the same page, "She charges up their Reach wand with a hidden REVEAL spell." It was actually a REVEAL HIDDEN spell!

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-8/1004-series-8-opposition

~ In the Series 8 Opposition guide, Sidriss is again misspelled as "Sidress". Also, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense: "He held a hand puppet called 'Snapper' because his arm got bitten off once, apparently." How could he hold it without a hand? Clearly it was a puppet in reality, but it was supposed to be a live snapdragon that had grown in place of his arm!

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-8/1009-series-8-winners

~ On the Series 8 winners page, there are supposedly two photos of Alan's Frightknight trophy at the bottom, but neither images nor links are present!

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/38-club

~ On the KAC page, "Hugo's There?" in Volume 2 Number 2 (Spring 1993) linked to a random page from an earlier issue. (Not currently visible as most of the page is cut off.)

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1139-quest-122

~ In the Spring 1992 issue of TQ, I can now confirm that Rayner Bourton's charity should be "Tendis", not "Tendris".

Another typo I missed before: "...unfortunately we can't return then..." (should be "them").

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1134-quest-114-5

~ "Smirkenorff is his name (Smirky to his few friends*)** among them Elita, the cheeky Elf**)**.*" Urgh, bracket imbalance! has a thing about mismatched parentheses
While the extra bracket has now been removed, I'm thinking perhaps it was the other one that should have been left in place: "Smirkenorff is his name (Smirky to his few friends, among them Elita, the cheeky Elf)." Come to think of it, that's probably how the mistake occurred in the first place - OCR scanner mistaking a comma for a bracket.

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1153-quest-216

~ "I think this one's hilarious!" This is still missing a quote mark after it.

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1160-quest-224-5

~ ""So, it was you who saved me! exclaimed Treguard." Still needs another quote mark added.

(There may well be more typos to correct in the TQ pages, as I only looked through the first five issues.)

Problems with links and images which I noticed after the last upgrade:

~ The 'Next' link takes you to the next section of the website when you'd expect it to take you to the next page of the current section. For example, in Tim's 'A History of Knightmare', when you get to the end of Page 1 and click 'Next', you don't go to Page 2, but to the Terms and Conditions section. There are page links at the top, but it's still confusing and not how the site used to behave. Even more confusingly, in most of the TQ issues, 'Next' does take you to the next page, while 'Next Page' is a broken link.

http://www.knightmare.com/home/faq

~ On the FAQ page, the links to the FANSFAQ and History of Knightmare (x2) need correcting.

http://www.knightmare.com/home/links

~ A small nitpick: the categories on the Links page have ended up being listed backwards, starting with 'Others' which looks a bit odd.

Under Fansites, the KMRAmDram link is out of date (now replaced by the Dunshelm Players site), and under Reviews, the two Bother's Bar articles have moved. A few other fansites and reviews seem to be gone now as well, but might still exist on web.archive.org?

http://www.knightmare.com/news/kmvr

http://www.knightmare.com/news/timegate

~ Is there a way to put the KMVR and TimeGate news items back into chronological order? At the moment they're all jumbled up.

http://www.knightmare.com/news/kmvr/1451-knew-knightmare-vr-development

~ News item 'Knew Knightmare VR development' mentions a graphic "shown above", but the graphic is no longer there. The link to the TimeGate trailer is also broken.

http://www.knightmare.com/news/kmvr/1455-knightmare-vr-new-clips

http://www.knightmare.com/news/kmvr/1447-knightmare-vr-pilot-clips-available

~ News items 'Knightmare VR - New Clips' and 'Knightmare VR - Pilot Clips Available' both include a broken link to the KMVR download page which is now located here:

~ 'Series 8 Outtakes', 'Knightmare on Kellyvision' and 'Chroma Key Experiment' no longer require the (broken) links to the video clips, as they're now attached to the articles. The History link at the bottom of the Kellyvision article also needs fixing.

~ The Smirkenorff article has a broken link to an article in The Quest.

http://www.knightmare.com/behind/unseen/1023-original-title-drawings

~ Original Title Drawings article has a broken link at the top.

Those are the only sections I got round to checking, so there may be similar issues elsewhere on the website.

On a more positive note, I meant to say before that the site looks great with all the new section illustrations etc, and I noticed that many of the broken links had been fixed which is great to see!

Well spotted there!

The original guestbook entry that dungeoneer Giles made back in June 2000 (over ten years ago now - click here to see the entry, at present its the fifth entry down). This isn't currently featured with the other guestbook entries made by Giles and advisor Robin should you wish to add it when making proposed amendments.
Thanks for the link, James. I've taken the liberty of adding this to the Series 4 Teams page.

There are a whole bunch of other Guestbook signings that aren't mentioned in the Series guides, if you want to add them...

~ Mark Cheetham (Series 1 Team 4) signed in April 2006, not 2005 as currently stated.

~ Stuart Leatherland and Neal from Series 2 Team 8 have both signed the Guestbook, though admittedly they didn't say much worth quoting!

Stuart wrote in February 1999: "Having been a contestant on knightmare in 1988, i can honestly say that this is a great page. you can contact me if you wish for any info. see ya!!!!!"

Neal wrote in February 2009: "I was on Knightmare !!!!! Would love to get a DVD of it, any chance of helping me ?"

~ Jason Karl (Series 2 Team 10) signed it twice. In November 2001 he wrote:

"Your site is fantastic - I was the second ever winner of Knightmare (Julian Smith - Im an Actor and have changed my name) and this bought back do many wondeful memories. I was a massive Knightmare Devotee and still have all the recordings of all Broadswords shows - I was also on Tim's other series 'The Satellite Game'. Liams remixes of the theme are great - they really made me smile and took me back in time. Ill have to come chat in the chat room sometime and take a look at your RPG. I wrote a Knightmare RPG once and even made our own version on video when I was 16 - it was ace!!!! and I still adore it. Thanks for your work on the site - it couldnt be any better. PS Look out for my new series on UK LIving soon - Im Prsenting a show about ghosts with Yvette Fielding (remember her from Blue Peter?.)"

Then in March 2003 he visited again and wrote:

"*This site is fantastic, I'm still a di hard Knightmare fan long after winning the game in series 2 as 'Julian'. I hear Knightmare is being resurrected... can't wait.

Visit my website; http://www.jasondexterkarl.com - there is a picture of me in Knightmare in one of the picture galleries, and one of me in Broadsword's other gameshow 'The Satellite Game'.*"

~ Mark Hodder (Series 2 Team 12) signed in January 2001. He wrote:

"*It funny to see a picture of myself aged 12,

I was on the show in the second series.

Great website good to see some classic kids TV out there*"

~ Leo (Series 3 Team 4) signed in May 2005. He wrote:

"I was on knightmare as a contendor,back in 1991, ah the memmories, i was amazed to find this website, and hope they bring it back on television"

(The year isn't right but as far as I'm aware there was only one contestant called Leo!)

~ Someone signed as 'Dicken' from Torquay in February 2003, though I'm not sure if it was the real dungeoneer (Series 4 Team 6). He wrote: "I was a winner on the show and watching on Challenge Tv flooded back the memories of me blowing the horn and running into the goblins" and "I would love to BBK".

~ Ray Lockton (Series 5 Team 4) signed the Guestbook in August 2000, which isn't mentioned, though it does mention him sending in their photos and stuff. He wrote:

"*Brilliant Web-Site. I was the team captain of the winning team of series 5. John Shaw (the loud spellcaster) told me about the site in the pub. After all this time I can't believe I can download our winning clip!

Thanks very much!

Cheers,

Ray*"

~ Paul Etheridge (Series 5 Team 7) signed in April 2001, before teammate Ciarán. He wrote:

"*We got to level 3 but were killed because we didn't have a Jesters's toy.

Knightmare was really cool, and should still be on in my opinion. Nothing has ever come close!*"

~ Simon Brett (Series 6 Team 7) signed in July 2000. He wrote: "Brilliant!!! A website dedicated to the mighty show that was Knightmare! I had a fantastic few days when my friends and I were on the show, season 6 finale. I heartily agree that Knightmare should return to our screens, kids TV could certainly benefit from the quality of a show that made people think whilst having a great time."

~ Neil Cobb (Series 7 Team 3) signed in August 2000. He wrote:

"*Hi! I was part of a 1994 team that died on the very last screen of the game. I was a fat little schoolboy who thought Knightmare was the greatest show on earth! Looking back at the movieclips brings up all the emotion I felt sitting on that bench!

Oddly enough, my brother (who was also in the team) and I bumped into Treguard outside our local Safeway, 5 minutes from our house. He lives in our town (Pinner, NW London) and was riding a bright red motorbike he had called Smirganoff. He remembered us. That's all I needed!

All the best.*"

~ Richard Howse (Series 8 Team 1) signed in February 2000. He wrote: "Great site... Lucky to log in here actually. I was the first contestant for series 8... It was great, iw asn't supposed to be the Dungeoneer, but due to production decisions I ended up donning the helmet and crashing into portculis' and walls - It was great fun, and I've have loved to have gone back now that I'm an Actor to play it from the other side as one of the characters. Oh well, life goes on!"

~ Karen (Series 8 Team 3) signed in August 2002, not January as currently stated.

Her teammate Cat Olding signed in June 2007. She wrote: "I was in Team 3 Series 8 - It was an amazing experience and really good fun to see how the show was made!"

~ Our very own Alan Boyd (Series 8 Team 6) signed in January 1999. He wrote: "*As a Knightmare contestant, I have to say that this site is brilliant and continues to display how truly amazing the TV show is. A worthy way to commemorate it's memory *"

~ Oliver Duhl (Series 8 Team 7) signed in July 2004.

How did you find this website?: "Pure fluke on a recently-inspired trip down memory lane!"

Any comments?: "I just wanted to say this is a great site - and do any of you remember me? I was the final Dungeoneer of the final series of the show (series eight) - which is a truly unique achievement. After all this time, watching the show myself, auditioning and then travelling to Norwich to film it has stayed with me. Knightmare forever!"

Some time ago I noted down a bunch more errors I had spotted, but didn't get round to posting them here as the last batch had yet to be fixed. Here they are

Thanks for taking the time to list all those. The more errors are found and reported, the more can (eventually) be corrected. I can't imagine that, in Merlin's words, there is only a short way to go.

I've taken the liberty of attending to as many of them as I could. Some issues were beyond my reach: the cut off pages (quite a concern - typos pale in comparison), the order in which articles are listed, the 'Next' links, most missing images. Here's hoping that Alan and Keith can address these in due course.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/43-root/featured-content/something/1314-something-new

The latter news item also has an image missing, and all the screencaps on the download page are broken, as are several of the links.

Keith has essentially locked this page, so I trust that he intends to take care of it.

http://www.knightmare.com/news/knightmare/1500-citv-to-show-old-knightmare-episodes

'CITV have been in contact to say that two episodes of Knightmare will be shown on teh 5th and 6th of January 2013.'

Although this is Alan's article, I took the liberty of correcting that typo to avoid embarrassment. The article might also benefit from links to the relevant episode discussion threads but it wasn't my place to add them.

http://www.knightmare.com/series/series-8/1008-series-8-teams?showall=&start=1

This page no longer contains five misspellings of Dunstan's name.

There are a whole bunch of other Guestbook signings that aren't mentioned in the Series guides, if you want to add them...

Thanks for those too. It's arguably more useful having them gathered here than spread across the series pages! But I have now added most of them (I was sceptical about the 'Dicken' one), fixing numerous links in the process.

I only hope that all the corrections won't be lost in the next upgrade...

Canadanne

Thank you for doing all this, David. I'm not sure I had ever seen those advisor notes from Series 7 before - what a great little souvenir of their quest!

~ "...but don't know who's side they are on."

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1165-quest-236

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1172-quest-316

~ "Hove you any complaints?"

~ "What previous experiences and helped you to win Knightmare?" Either there's a word missing or the random "and" shouldn't be there.

~ "How do you rate Lard Fear and his cronies? Have you anything to soy to them/him?" Hilarious as this nickname is, I'm guessing it was not intentional or the editor wouldn't have been allowed to live. g (Come to think of it, the editor did mysteriously perish after this issue...!!)

~ "Methinks the lady must hove been making use of nose plugs - Ed."

~ "...or is it too ghostly too contemplate?" One never knows in the dungeon, but I would guess this is meant to say "ghastly". (I presume "What do you think Sidriss did to Lord Fear" is actually referring to Greystagg, but that must be the interviewer's mistake.)

~ "...a small army of Mireman..." (Miremen, surely?)

~ "...he's the on;y one they'll take instructions from..."

~ "The new werm calls himself Scaborous." Is that an accepted spelling, or a scanning error? I've only ever seen "worm" or "wyrm"...

~ "They are as good as the first ever spell in series -, which was "Freezer"..."

http://www.knightmare.com/fan-stuff/fanzines/the-quest/1177-quest-327

~ "(Well done that men - Ed.)"

shadow6162

That's...a lot of corrections

Drassil

Thank you for these. Now taken care of.

~ "...or is it too ghostly too contemplate?" One never knows in the dungeon, but I would guess this is meant to say "ghastly".

Yes, 'ghastly' makes more sense. After correcting that, I heard Treguard making an "O" sound, but I assumed it was just his chain-mail chafing and I ignored him.

It turns out that reinstating most of the absent TQ images will be a lot more straightforward than I had feared, and I have already restored several of them. Having said that, many images from the original TQ issues were never included on the Knightmare.com pages in first place, partly due to the constraints of the dial-up internet era.
