Series 7 ep 13
-
Looking back in via video tape I can confirm that Barry was floating in that moving block room. Before touching the starf the back of his heels were on the stone surface but once collecting it when he did the 180 degree turn he was completely over the gap.
Funny how Smirkenorff got the most conversation of the series with Barry.

what you have to remember that this was a 'fixed' quest. so there no chance they would have been killed off and is why the team are one of the better teams in Kmare history.. Probs been told what to do from the start anyway, but as we have just been told they died in level one.. not seen that for a while
-
Yes but with 2 episode left he could be killed off and a new team could have got the troll hammer. Still no hard feelings to Barry's team, they are making me laugh.

How did they do the slow motion effect? Simple! Just film Hands and the goblins on blue-screen first, and record that output. Then, feed that output into the Chromakey machine (instead of just the static background) as Barry comes into the blue-screen room. When Barry takes the potion, switch the VT machine to slow so that Hands and the goblins slow down, but Barry (live) remains at normal speed.
err.. looked like it was just sound effects, and a bit of good acting to me

I can't believe I had forgotten how funny Barry was when I first saw this quest all those years ago!
I was also most amused by Lissard-as-Marta looking down his/her dress when he/she was transformed....
Also, Lord Fear: "Girl after me own heart.....if I had one. Which I don't."

What on earth was going on with the customer before Barry at Rothberry's stall? It almost looks like the Boatman with that thing over his head, though I suspect it's a female actor. All I can catch of Rothberry's lines are "I'm very grateful, understand that, for all the little bits of twig and leaves... I can probably put... myself, you understand that? But... no, STICKS... no, this is a lovely big stick... no, I know it's a big stick... I know it's, it's a lovely stick... it's a very good stick, yes... but it's... oh, just take one of these, off you pop, there you go!"
The bit in the dwarf tunnel is funny, when Barry says "There's something behind me! ...no, nothing behind me" as he realises it's just the cameraman. g

Can't have been. It's clearly slowed down.
I wondered what might have happened if Barry didn't have the Speedwell. My guess is that the production team wouldn't have used the pre-filmed VT at all, and have a live Hands and goblins enter and finish Barry off instead.

Very fast-paced episode.
Team 7 learned that Grimaldine's staff had been broken into four pieces, which they needed to retrieve.
Encountered Romahna and didn't exactly impress her, but collected the 1st section of Merlin's (sic) staff.
Reached the level 1 clue-area. Whilst reeling-off the list of things on the barrel, Barry made it sound a bit like the "generation game" conveyor belt. Chose the "speedwell" potion and the lamp. Thought the scroll was a bit ambiguous. Not sure why they didn't know where the exit was. Dry comment from Treguard: "There's a big hole to the right. Big archway."
Encountered Rothberry's stall. Collected the 2nd staff section. Sound of goblin horns and in his hurry he nearly left without his "speedwell".
Made a shambles of the floor puzzle and were given a massive reprieve. They took too long describing the room and were then rushed by goblins and completely missed the 3rd section of the staff. Moved Barry backwards to get it and the goblins just stopped and watched, then backed away. He should have been toast there....missed
Compare how blatantly this team were let-off here to how harshly Jamie's team (S2 T9) were treated when they were cut-off by the mechanical warrior and missed a spell piece.
Entered a darkened room and used the lamp to find the final staff section. They walked Barry into the wall.
In the next courtyard he was confronted by Sly Hands and two goblins, but used the "speedwell" potion to escape. More like a "slo-mo" potion, but whatever....
Reached Grimaldine and were rewarded for restoring his staff. Given a journey to level 2 on Smirky.
Used a spyglass to discover that Lissard has been magically disguised as Marta, to trap Hordriss. Much interest from LF.
Woke the troll on their way out.
Level 2 clue-area was in the dwarf tunnels. Wisely chose the boot and the "fireproof" potion.
Entered Sidriss' magic class (Fidjit also in attendance) and warned her about the trap for Hordriss. Loved the tactless version suggested by advisor Derek - Barry worded it rather more carefully.
