why series 6 is my favourite...
-
It was in Series 4, in the same episode where letters started appearing in the rooms (behind the drawbridge, and so on). I clearly remember forgetting to tape it.

Ahhh, thanks guys...I won't tell you how many years I've been pondering over that...OMG this means I've def. seen knightmare from series 4 onward. I can't remember much as you see but I was def. watching every week by that time.
EDIT-
sorry, ive totaly led this off topic...to swing it back on...
As I said I'm not sure which particular series is my fave but I know it's one of the earlier one. I remember getting annoyed when the eyeshield and new helmet came in...not much but a bit. and also thinking the reach wand was the most pants thing ever! I also prefered pickle over majida.
so if anyone fancies adding all that up and telling me what my fave series was...go ahead
ill correct you if nesscery when the DVD's come out
-
I seem to have some fleeting memory of pickle running into the kightmare dungeons to help a dungeoneer...much to the annoyance of treguard. in my warped mind i only remember this happening once but as i type this im begining to believe i dreamed it (i was very little). Did this ever happen? if not, it should of because in the dream pickle rocked most mightily
It was Series 4 Team 4 - Simon's team
I agree about series 6 being the best, all the teams were superb, the graphics excellent and the causeways frightening
-
Reminds me when I saw a scene from when I first watched Knightmare that also mean't I had been a watcher since series 4 (Dickon winning his quest)
I agree series 6 was certainly when Knightmare was at its best, technology wise all the quests were long one winner, great comedy like end of season team! Januarys hilarious exit (I av to blw my orn!)

Series 6 is my favourite for a number of reasons. Firstly, atmosphere. The music in the causeway scenes, the dreadnought and the different outdoor scenes are very engaging.
Gameplay. It is now easy to see what a team is meant to be looking for on each level and adds to the tension if they have to bargain with a character for a particular object.
Last, the teams of this series were, in my humble opinion, quite memorable, especially Sophia's team who were very unlucky to fail at the final obstacle.
-
Sophias was one of the best teams that never won, very bright intelligent and brave for what looked a very young team of 11 year olds! It was just one error when answering Hordriss's Diploma questions that cost them with that cliffhanger end of episode on the Great Causeway. High praise for calling Elita a Faceache! lol
-
Series 6 is certainly one of the best, and if you had never seen an episode of Knightmare before, I'd show you the first few of Series 6, because it encompasses all the best elements - the floor puzzles, Treguard plus one assistant, Lord Fear, henchmen, Pookas and Geists, and most of all - it's scary. One of the scariest, actually. I'm not sure why, but I've always thought this, and I stick by my thoughts about it!
It might be Dreadnort. I was always disturbed by him.
-
Yes series 6 was the best of the lot for me! It raised the bar so high from the first 5 series. The atmospheric music (especially when a dungeneer was about to die), the sound effects, the excellent dwarf tunnels (a huge step up from the dwarf tunnels from series 3), Lord Fear was at his best, had the best teams (well,apart from Barry and his team from series 7!), excellent characters like Ah Wok and Sidress, and 2 of my fav dungeneers Ben and Sophia. Ben totally got into the role perfectly and Sophia was no nonsense and I love the way she said to Elita 'Your a faceache' too!! Just a shame she didn't win and that was the only bad note of series 6.

It's been so long since I viewed an actual episode on Television - we din't get Challenge TV until Knightmare had been taken off.. still waiting for them to show the shows again, will it ever happen?
Episode 6 if I remember and it has been mentioned, was when Treguard was more benevolent to the dungeoneers and wasn't as impartial as previous shows, and of course he had assistants with him in the chamber, and we were introduced to great nasties like the Pookas and Dreadnoughts.
If I watch any shows now it has to be segments on YouTube, haven't seen an actual tv broadcast since maybe the show ended in the 1990s unfortunately.

Series 6 is excellent. For me it was essentially a tidying up of Series 5: Series 5 lay down the groundwork for going 'outside' the dungeon, and Series 6 finetuned those elements. Little things like the music, the causeway timer and Smirkenorff's voice made it great, and because the rooms were less obstacle-y it meant the characters had to have more personality, and thus brought out some great acting in the cast.

What i thought of S6:
Let's get the worst over first with this one. The new mellow arrangement of the theme music didn't do anything for me. I much prefer the dramatic original, altho the 2nd version was good as well.
The new opening visual didn't really appeal either. You can see what the designers were aiming for, but somehow it didn't quite seem to work.
Finally, the new life-force sequence was very disappointing.
Why on earth did they feel the need to change it? The original life-force clock was one of the iconic features of Knightmare. At least it got one last, surprise appearance during the series....
But onto the better aspects.
There was a vast improvement from S5. The pace of the quests had improved dramatically and seemed much more action-packed. The number of interminably slow eye-shield sequences were dramatically reduced and were far shorter when they did appear.
The causeways were again excellent and the timer was a great idea, adding more pressure.
There were some good familiar faces: Hordriss, Motley, Scaramonger, Hands and, of course, Elita.
The new characters were generally a good selection. I thought Sidriss-the-confused might be a bit annoying at first, but i quite warmed to her as time went on. Greystagg was a nicely ambivelant character, but sadly didn't have enough screen time.
I thought the character Nemanor seemed a bit out of place, but i really enjoyed Adrian Neil's other role: Ridolpho, the charming minstrel. A real shame that he only appeared in one series. Ridolpho gave Elita a run for my money as the most enjoyable character in S6.
Heggatty was ok, made me think of Mistress Goody from S4.
Not sure how Ah-Wok got past the politically-correct sensors....
The dreadnort seemed rather bland. I prefer the blockers as they are vaguely reminiscent of the early wall monsters.
There were only seven teams, but they were an excellent selection. Not a single disappointing team this time round, really enthusiastic and competent. A couple of them could easily be rated amongst the Knightmare elite.
Did the producers change something about the auditioning process for S6?
Overall, S6 doesn't compare to the classics S2 & S3, but it was still a welcome return to form.
