No one remembered her either. She was one of Julian's advisors, of course. Let's see the whole board for that one:
BEN - 4
DUNSTAN - 4
JULIE - 4
MARK - 4
BARRY - 3
DICKON - 3
JULIAN - 3
ALAN - 2
DEREK - 2
NATHAN - 2
OLIVER - 2
PRAVEEN - 2
SIMON - 2
ALEX - 1
BECCA - 1
DANIEL - 1
DOMINIC - 1
HELEN - 1
RAY - 1
TIMOTHY - 1
VAUGHAN - 1
JAMES - 0
JOHN - 0
JONATHAN - 0
MATTHEW - 0
MARY - 0
SAMANTHA - 0
At the end of Round 2, the scoreboard looks like this:
ROSS
Round 1 Score - 3
Answer 1 - 1
Answer 2 - 0
TOTAL - 4
ROSEY
Round 1 Score - 3
Answer 1 - 1
Answer 2 - 0
TOTAL - 4
ANNIE
Round 1 Score - 1
Answer 1 - 2
Answer 2 - 2
TOTAL - 5
NICK
Round 1 Score - 8
Answer 1 - 1
Answer 2 - 1
TOTAL - 10
And so Nick is the first champion to leave us. Bad luck for stumbling across the only wrong answer from the first two rounds, Nick - this ended up scuppering you, but I hope you've enjoyed playing. For Ross, Rosey and Annie, though, it's time for...
ROUND 3
Remember, only two of you will make it through to our Head-to-Head final - whoever scores highest in this round will be eliminated. We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
SPELLS CAST BY TEAMS ON LEVEL 3
So that's any spell (cast in the normal way, with the chant "Spellcasting") cast by any team at any point on Level 3. The spellcasting must have been completed and the spell must have worked.
Ross, please set us off again.
-
Uh oh, I don't like spell questions.
I'll go for GRIP please.
-
Ross says GRIP - let's see what that scores him...

This spell was given by Merlin to Leo's team in Series 3, and was used to freeze Medusa's stony stare. And it scores Ross 1 point.

Rosey says ARKEN - let's see what that scores her...
pointless1.jpg
This spell was used by Julie's winning team in Series 7 to activate the Arken Shield, which put Lord Fear out of action for a while, and it scores Rosey 1 point.

Annie, we come to you. Can you match these low scores with your first answer?
-
Annie says SHADE - let's see what that scores her...
pointlessanswer.jpg
A very shrewd answer there. I recall that a couple of shows ago, none of the answerers was able to remember that SHADE had been awarded by Honesty Bartram, and it seems that this spell is still as obscure as ever. As a few people know (but not many) Honesty Bartram gave this spell to Daniel in exchange for a Sight Potion, and it was used to sneak past two miremen on the Golden Galleon. Annie, you score nothing.

We now come back down the line for the second pass. Annie, it's you again. If you find another pointless answer, you will definitely be in the Head-to-Head final.
-
Annie says VISOR - let's see what that scores her...
pointless2p.jpg
VISOR was given out and used for Play Your Cards Right twice in Series 7 - Grimaldine gave it to Alex's team, and Greystagg gave it to Barry's team. Annie, you score 2 points, bringing your total to 2.

Rosey says GROWME - let's see what that scores her...

Julie's quest has served Rosey very well yet again, taking her straight through to the Head-to-Head!

Ross, it's you again. If you score 0, you will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head final. If you score 1, you will be in a tiebreak situation with Annie. If you score 2 or more, you will be out and Annie will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. What's it to be?
-
I was going to go with Growme!
This is really tough and I don't know what will be obscure but I'll go with SUN.
-
Ross says SUN - let's see what that scores him...
pointless1.jpg
This spell was used by Mark's winning team in Series 2 to find the correct path at the Stained Glass Window. It was awarded by the Gargoyle, and it scores Ross 1 point.

Ross and Annie are in a tiebreak situation, so another Level 3 spell is required from each of them. Ross, you're first.
-
This is tense! I'll go with OPPOSITE.
-
Ross says OPPOSITE - let's see what that scores him...
pointless2p.jpg
This was awarded to Dickon's winning team in Series 4 by Hordriss, and changed a bottle of poison into a nourishing liquid.
Annie, if you can score 1 or 0, you will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. If you score 3 or more, Ross will join Rosey in the Head-to-Head. If you score 2, you'll both have to give another spell!
-
Oh man, I can't believe more people said VISOR than SUN - I was avoiding that one! Well done to Rosey though, I didn't think of GROWME at all.
This is unbearable, I don't know what to doooo! bites nails I've got a list of 10 spells and no idea where the risky answers are. Urgh... SLEEP?
-
Annie says SLEEP - let's see what that scores her...
pointless1.jpg
This was given to Mark's team by Merlin to deal with the dragon, and it's just earned you a place in the Head-to-Head final, Annie - congratulations! Bad luck, Ross - this round could hardly have been closer, but you're the unlucky one this time. Now, let's see all the answers for that question:
FIRE - 3
FREEZE - 3
FREE - 2
OPPOSITE - 2
RETURN - 2
SPLASH - 2
VISOR - 2
ARKEN - 1
DARK - 1
ENERGY - 1
GRIP - 1
SLEEP - 1
SUN - 1
TALISMAN - 1
TRICK - 1
GROWME - 0
SHADE - 0
Either Rosey or Annie will soon be crowned the Ultimate Knightmare Pointless Champion of 2011. The Head-to-Head final is coming later this evening...
-
Wow, that was close! Good luck girls in the final.
I'm surprised about Talisman and Trick being on one point - I avoided those as they were quest-winning spells!
-
ROUND 4 - HEAD-TO-HEAD FINAL
Whoever wins the best of five head-to-head questions will be our Ultimate Champion. Will it be Rosey or Annie? We'll soon know. The first question, then. We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
CHARACTERS WHO APPEARED IN 20 OR MORE EPISODES
So that's any character who makes an appearance in at least 20 of Knightmare's 112 episodes. There are ten correct answers on this list. Because she has scored slightly less than Annie during the game so far, Rosey gets to answer first. She is going to consider her answer while I am having a bath.
-
Rosey says Lissard - let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
Annie says Sylvester Hands - let's see what that scores her...
pointless3.jpg
A tie! Now, let's see all ten correct answers. Episode totals are included in brackets.
TREGUARD (112) - 6
HORDRISS (39) - 4
LORD FEAR (53) - 4
MOTLEY (28) - 4
PICKLE (47) - 4
LISSARD (20) - 3
MAJIDA (25) - 3
SMIRKENORFF (28) - 3
SYLVESTER HANDS (28) - 3
MERLIN (28) - 2
Merlin could have done someone a huge favour there - who would've thought it? On to the next question, then. We gave 6 people 100 seconds to name...
SERIES 3 CHARACTERS WHO GAVE OUT AT LEAST ONE STEP CLUE
So that's any credited character from Series 3 who gave at least one step clue (for use in Merlin's throne room, obviously) to a team. Annie, it's your turn to go first.
-
Haha, I couldn't decide between Sly and Smirky and it didn't matter either way. Can't believe Merlin was the lowest scoring answer!
Oh dear, I once wrote a Lexicon entry about step clues so I ought to know these. I've narrowed my choice down to two characters and I'm going with...... Hordriss, just because I know he did but I can't picture him actually saying it!
