ROUND 2 - SECOND PASS
CLUE OBJECT DEBUTS
You're about to see a board of seven clue objects. We asked 8 people to tell us in which series of Knightmare each object made its debut.
To clarify, we are looking for the first series in which each object appeared as an option for a dungeoneer to pick up, even if it was rejected - so that's the first series in which the object was seen! Please bear in mind that the object may not have been referred to on its debut by the same term I have used in the table - in this case, names don't really matter!
Players, you must each choose an object and identify its debut series. We have got:

Gez, you're up. Post your clue object and its debut series.
-
Gez says Spyglass - Series 5. Let's see what that scores her...
pointless7.jpg
We first saw a spyglass in the first episode of Series 5, and we actually saw another one (or maybe it was the same one all the time!) in every single episode of Knightmare right up until the end of Series 8, even though three of those episodes didn't actually feature a spyglass sequence! Another correct answer, Gez, but it's a biggie - you score 7 points.
ROSS

Answer 2 - ?

BEN

Ben, there are six answers left on the board for you:

Our current high scorer is Gez on 13. I'm sure you'll be glad to know, Ben, that you are definitely through to the head-to-head! So, are you going to try and choose a low scorer to scupper poor Ross? Please post your clue object and its debut series.
-
Ben says Red gem - Series 1. Let's see what that scores him...
pointless2p.jpg
You're quite right of course, Ben. Lillith was given a red gem (or ruby, as it was exclusively known for this appearance) by David in the very first episode of Knightmare! Congratulations for choosing the lowest-scoring answer in Knightmare Pointless so far, which adds another 2 points to your score.
ROSS

Our current high scorer is Gez on 13. If you score 7 or less, you will be in the head-to-head with Ben. If you score 8, you and Gez will be in a tiebreak situation! Please post your clue object and its debut series.

Aniseed, series 4

Ross says Aniseed - Series 4. Let's see what that scores him...

"Aniseed will take them off your trail" - Oakley. Well done, Ross - 4 points are added to your score.
Let's take a look at the whole board:

That's the end of Round 2, so let's see how the scores stand:
ROSS
Answer 1 - 5
Answer 2 - 4
TOTAL - 9
BEN
Answer 1 - 4
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 6
GEZ

Answer 2 - 7
TOTAL - 13
That means, of course, that we have to say goodbye to Gez - bad luck and thanks for playing! For Ross and Ben, the head-to-head awaits... and the first question is coming soon!
-
Congratulations to Ross and Ben for making it through to the head-to-head. You two are about to battle it out to be the first ever Knightmare Pointless champion, and earn the chance to find a Pointless answer in the jackpot final and win an ultra-cool, genuine, official Knightmare badge!
ROUND 3 - HEAD-TO-HEAD
Whichever one of you wins the best of three questions will be our champion. Remember, I can only accept your first answer, so think carefully before you post.
We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
DUNGEONEERS WHO MET MERLIN ON LEVEL 3
So that's any dungeoneer who summoned Merlin and listened to him chatting at some point on the third level. Please give your answer in the form of: "Dungeoneer's First/Given Name (Series X)"
Ben, because you have scored slightly less in the game so far, you get to post your answer first. ** Ross**, you can post your answer as soon as Ben has given his - don't wait for me to say anything.
-
Right - let's think about this. I don't think anyone got far enough to meet him in Series 1 (Richard almost did though!) and I don't think he met anyone on Level 3 in Series 4. Series 3 had just 3 Level 3-ers and Ross definitely didn't get far enough to meet Merlin, although I think Martn and Leo might have done. Series 2 I can't really remember the Level 3 dungeoneers so easily - obviously there are the winners Mark and Julian and then there's Chris who got killed by Medusa. I can't remember if there were any other Level 3 deaths in Series 2.
I'll avoid Mark because he's a winner, so it's really between Chris, Martin and Leo for me. I'm thinking Chris might be a good answer because lots of people forgot him in the last question but I'm not 100% sure he did meet Merlin. I'm going to say Martin (Series 3) and am hoping that it will at least score less than a winner.
-
Ben says Julian (Series 2). Despite the fact that he didn't include the series in his answer like I very nicely asked him to, let's see what that scores him...
pointless5.jpg
Ross says (eventually) Martin (Series 3). Let's see what that scores him...
pointless5.jpg
It's a tie - how exciting! Let's take a look at the whole board:
Mark (Series 2) - 6
Julian (Series 2) - 5
Leo (Series 3) - 5
Martin (Series 3) - 5
Giles (Series 4) - 5
Chris (Series 2) - 2
I'm not surprised to see a tie on this question... and perhaps I was secretly hoping for one so that we'll be able to get in more questions! Chris was the brilliant answer that could have won it for someone and Mark was the killer answer that could have lost it for someone but other than that, there was literally nothing in it!
With no score on the board as yet, we move on to the next question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
KNIGHTMARE CHARACTERS BEGINNING WITH M
So that's any character who is commonly known by a name beginning with the letter M. At this point, I'm going to remind you of two important points:
-
For the purposes of this, "character" means any role that's been confirmed as having been played by a credited Knightmare actor, except uncredited, unnamed individual creatures/monsters.
-
The unbroadcast pilot episodes (from 1986/7) and Knightmare VR (from 2004) are not taken into account for any question.
Ross, you get to post your answer first this time. Ben, you can post your answer as soon as Ross has given his - don't wait for me to say anything.
-
-
Oh no! I should have gone with Chris!
After much deliberation, I'm going to say Mr Grimwold
-
Ross says Mr Grimwold. Let's see what that scores him...
pointlesswrong.jpg
Mr Grimwold was not played by a credited Knightmare actor, and is therefore not going to be a correct answer for any Knightmare Pointless question that asks for a character.
Ben says Molly. Let's see what that scores him...
pointlesswrong.jpg
I don't know why I bothered posting this helpful tip after the question because both players have completely ignored it:
For the purposes of this, "character" means any role that's been confirmed as having been played by a credited Knightmare actor...
I hope you're both feeling sheepish, guys. As I don't have an infinite stock of questions, I'd like you to have another go at this question. Ben, you go first this time, and Ross can post as soon as Ben's answer is posted.
Remember, we're looking for characters (ones played by credited Knightmare actors) beginning with M!
-
I didn't ignore it - I just thought that it had been confirmed that Mr Grimwold was played by Bryan McNerney.
I'm going to say Marta.
-
Ben says Maldame. Let's see what that scores him...
pointless4.jpg
Ross says Marta. Let's see what that scores him...
pointless3.jpg
Ross takes the lead - it's 1-0 to him! Let's take a look at the whole board:
Mellisandre - 7
Merlin - 6
Motley - 6
Mogdred - 5
Maldame - 4
Malice - 4
Morghanna - 4
Majida - 3
Marta - 3
Mistress Goody - 2
Mrs Grimwold - 2
Mace - 1
McGrew - 1
Mildread - 1
Who would've guessed that Mellisandre would've been the killer answer, or that Mildread would be right at the bottom? Random! Right then, on to the next question. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
VOICE-ONLY KNIGHTMARE CHARACTERS
So that's any character (who has been confirmed as having been played by a credited Knightmare actor!) for whom the actor provided his or her voice only. Please bear in mind that if any part of the actor's body is visible (even behind a mask) then the answer will be wrong.
Ross, you get to post your answer first this time. Ben, you can post your answer as soon as Ross has given his.
-
Ross says Owen. Let's see what that scores him...
pointless6.jpg
Ben says Mug. Let's see what that scores him...
pointlesswrong.jpg
Neither Owen nor Mug was ever credited, of course, but the crucial difference here is that Owen has been confirmed as having been played by a credited Knightmare actor - Clifford Norgate - whereas Mug's voice actor has never been confirmed, although it has been speculated about.
So, Ross wins the head-to-head 2-0! Let's take a look at the whole board for that question:
Owen - 6
Smirkenorff - 6
Bhal-Shebah - 5
Brollachan - 4
Casper - 3
Dreadnort - 3
Pixel - 2
Bad luck there, Ben - anything in that table apart from Smirkenorff would have levelled the score at 1-1. Thanks for playing, and congratulations on becoming the first ever Knightmare Pointless runner-up!
As I am not going to be able to use the potential tiebreaker question in another game (thanks to the fact that most of my potential players have answered it already) let's take a quick look at that, just out of interest. We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
DUNGEONEERS WHO MET MERLIN ON LEVEL 2
And the answer board looks like this:
Mark (Series 2) - 6
Julian (Series 2) - 5
Martin (Series 3) - 5
Leo (Series 3) - 4
Chris (Series 3) - 4
Helen (Series 4) - 4
Vicky (Series 4) - 4
Simon (Series 1) - 3
Ross (Series 3) - 3
Julie (Series 3) - 3
Alistair (Series 4) - 3
Nicky (Series 4) - 3
Danny (Series 1) - 2
Neil (Series 2) - 2
Steven (Series 2) - 2
Cliff (Series 3) - 2
Richard (Series 1) - 1
Tony (Series 2) - 1
I'm sure Ross couldn't care less about that, however, as he is about to play the Knightmare Pointless jackpot final, and perhaps win himself a badge! Whatever happens, of course, Ross is the first ever Knightmare Pointless champion - others will no doubt follow, Ross, but that glory will always be yours!
The Knightmare Pointless jackpot final is coming soon...
