Oh good I'm on holiday then

Wow, what a good idea ( ) to do a subforum for this.

Looks like we're moving up in the world!

Hi again. Sorry to be such a brat but can we start the Pointless game on Sunday because I'm in Wales all week then and I won't have access to a computer soz

Welcome to the third game of Knightmare Pointless! We asked all our Knightmare-related questions to 8 people, and now it's up to our four fabulous contestants - Nick, Ben, Amy and Annie - to find the most obscure answers they can think of. One of them will earn the chance to find a Pointless answer in the jackpot final.
A couple of important points to bear in mind:
-
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.
Right, let's play Knightmare Pointless!
ROUND 1
In the first round, each of you will give me two answers. Whoever has the highest score at the end of the round will be eliminated. If you give a wrong answer, you will score the maximum of 8 points.
We gave 8 people 100 seconds to name...
CHARACTERS WHO "ESCORTED" AT LEAST ONE DUNGEONEER
So that's any character to have gone through at least one door/portal with a dungeoneer. This includes characters who have been carried as or inside clue objects.
Nick gets to go first - which is not necessarily an advantage, of course - so Nick, what is your first answer?
-
-
Nick says Gundrada - let's see what that scores him...

I sucked in my breath sharply when checking that score - it's a big one! Gundrada escorted a few dungeoneers through various parts of Level 2 during Series 4, as most of our answerers remembered. So, Nick scores 6 points.
NICK
Answer 1 - 6
Answer 2 - ?
TOTAL - ?
Ben, what is your first answer?
-
Ben says Folly - let's see what that scores him...

Not a bad answer there, but I'd like to assure all four of our contestants that there are lower scores available in this round. Folly escorted Series 2's Julian into the deeper parts of Level 2 in a kind of blind date situation engineered by Merlin. Ben, you score 3 points.

Answer 1 - 6

BEN

Amy is next to answer, so whenever you get back from your holiday Amy, please post your first escorting character.
-
Hi guys! I just got back now . Okay, I believe Sir Hugh de Witless escorted a dungeoneer.
-
Amy says Sir Hugh de Wittless - let's see what that scores her...

Sir Hugh kindly agreed to escort Series 5's Sarah, but only because it was "a bit like rescuing". Amy - like Ben, you score 3 points.

So, Annie, can you wow us by finishing off this pass with a score lower than 3? It's over to you...
-
Annie says Brother Mace - let's see what that scores her...

2 points for you there, Annie, and the lowest score of the round so far - well done! Mace's little jaunt onto Smirkenorff's back with Chris does indeed have the potential to throw a spanner in the works for this question, but fortunately Mace also escorted Series 4's Nicky through a portal in the Forest of Dunn, so he definitely counts! Now, let's take a look at the scoreboard at the end of the first pass.
NICK

So, we now come back down the line for the second pass. Annie, it's your turn again, and you are our low scorer. Our current high scorer is Nick on 6, so if you score 3 or less, you're definitely through to Round 2. What is your second answer?
-
Annie says Ridolfo - let's see what that scores her...

Nice one, Annie! That's your second pointless answer in as many games, so give yourself a well deserved pat on the back. Ridolfo escorted January for a brief period after she released him from a pillory, but none of our 8 people remembered that. Annie scores no points, keeping her total at 2 and seeing her safely through to the next round.

Amy, it's you again. Our current high scorer is still Nick on 6. If you score 2 or less, you're definitely through to Round 2. What is your second answer?
