5 characters you'd like to see return
-
Although I do think Daisy was somewhat weak as a Knightmare character IMO. I know Majida was not everybody's cup of tea but she grew on me as a character only after a few episodes into series seven. Daisy on the other hand might as well be sweeping her acting. She really didn't say or do much. Majida was kind of annoying at times but she actually said things which were genuinely amusing, where as Daisy kind of came across as a bit of a "stick in the mud"
Personally, Motley, Hordriss, Sidriss, Sylvester Hands, Skarkill should make the return. Maybe re-introduce a new dungeon maid. Maybe keep in continuity and be the offspring of Mellisandre.
Morghanna (or a close counterpart) could be an interesting feature. As much as Greystagg was a popular and well made character I do believe we should go back to the "black and white" kind of styled alignments.
I know just about all of those characters I listed are all the same but consistency is all I ask for folks

Hi i'm new here and am new to Knightmare as a whole. Just saw it for first time while on holiday just before christmas last year.
From what i've seen so far I would choose Pickle as he would wind up Treguard big time by helping dungeoneers while helping out Treguard. I would make him a bit braver and stick up for himself a bit more cos i think he's braver then he thinks. I think he left to find a girl and you can fill in the rest of what happened next by yourself. Maybe have two helpers called Fish and Chips that are Pickle's kids.
I think Snapper Jack was good for the riddles but i'd like a jester as well.
Lord Fear has got to be in. No doubt about it.
I choose Merlin as well and his key
I think some goblins as well. I just made one up that i named Simon in honour of a Dungeoneer who fell down a big hole. He could be good and help them if they find his toy or have a todder strop and give wrong advice if they don't.
The witch that lost her comb that the team didn't help her and she made the floor fall down under them for her magic spells. Think her name starts with l.
Also that guard who Pickle fooled with his [that boy Simon has a army following him] talk and who eats gold. He's funny.
Lastly Treguard himself to train his son up to take his place if he feels too old.
That's the ones i would bring back at this point in time.

One of my favourite characters is Sidriss (it may be obvious from my URL). I'd want her to come back a little bit wiser and stronger as a sorceress, almost on Hordriss' level. I would love for Hordriss to appear also.
Other characters I really like include Stiletta and Motley. I think I probably would like Stiletta and Motley to be a couple, but I also like the dynamic of Sidriss and Motley. However, I could see Sidriss and Motley just being friends and allies.
I would be interested in seeing Morghanna return, perhaps to be an enemy to the powerful Sidriss.
Also, Pickle. Pickle is fab.

I mean my username, not URL. All these websites, gets confusing.

I agree with that list, eeeeeeeeeeexcept Snapper Jack. He was a very weak character to be honest, although I admit he didn't really have much time to gain much in the way of character development (since he only appeared in the final series) but the thing is he didn't really do anything. All he did was come on screen with his grating and irritating voice and threaten (and I use that term loosely) to "naps" the dungeoneer if they fail to answer his riddles correctly. If anyone can call him intimidating then Gibbet (Series 1) must be Satan's right hand man! "Ooooh he has a net and a hand puppet" veeeery scary(!) As far as I'm concerned he was nothing more than a glorified filler character. Why couldn't they have given more screen time to those who deserved it more, Raptor, Smirkenoff, Sidriss or for that matter (groan) Maldame! All of these characters had much better character development and didn't have a personality that resembled a wet fart in a bag full of fish! So to conclude my rant, if this is all we saw in terms of his character, then I'm glad I saw no more of him beyond his brief and somewhat soggy life I'm done hehe
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm you may have a point there. He didn't do much to naps anyone. Did he?
Snapper Jack is a cool name and i hadn't seen many dungeon characters at the time of my first posting.
I think Cedric would be better in terms of doing stuff. I also feel Snapper Jack could have been funny and helpful as well as taking the dungeoneer prisoner without doing a riddle forcing them to escape or die. They could have done more with him. Maybe they planned to make him a turncoat [or Lord Fear was going to get a new right hand man] and didn't get the chance.
I think more could and should have been done by him. That's why i put him on my first list.
The Guard who eats gold and gets fooled by Pickle would be good too. [ He's in S4 this guard. and is greedy] What's he called again?
Also just found out that Pickle can't handle brandy or hard stuff. Wonder if that's why the chair left the scene? When did Treguard lose his chair anyway?

Fatilla.
He was played by Michael Cule, who was also the actor for Brother Mace (Series 4 & 5) as well as The Gatemaster (Series 5 only).
-
Yes Fatilla the Hun.
See even Fatilla had a character even if it was a very simple one (As simple as Fatilla is haha) He was a lingering threat even though at times he didn't look like he was. He was kind of a successor to Olaf the Viking (Series 2 and 3) a lot of brawn, mouth, not overly bright and easy to bribe for safe passage (Ha! Passage! XD)
Snapper Jack didn't have any form of predecessor, so he was kind of a new format of character at that point. He was a bit two dimensional as a character and his personality and traits couldn't really adjust any more than what the actor was given. But for what it's worth he'll always be remembered as a character that didn't have any.
-
Uh oh I'm in trouble haha
Don't get me wrong he's not the worst character in my opinion. There are definitely worse ones I'm just saying he wasn't that all interesting
What I really want to know is:
-
What on earth gave him the idea of a "fool taker" as a career?? and...
-
He had no definitive ties to Lord Fear so where does he take the dungeoneers after he "naps" them when they lose??

I have just finished re-watching the Geek Week episode not more than a few minutes ago.
The frustrating thing about this question and indeed any question about a new series of Knightmare is that it could work.
It could work fantastically well!
It wouldn't be a Children's show if it was brought back, but a new series with adults could be sensational.
The Geek Week episode proved that - Even thought the team were annoying and didn't seem to 'get it'.
The new series of Crystal Maze has proved it after just one episode!
But on to the question.
Of course there would have to be new characters, but I like the idea of keeping a handful of the Old Guard to give a little continuity between then and now.
Hordriss - I think The Confuser would be essential for any new hypothetical series. I think I would have him go back to how he was during his early tenure in the Dungeon. I would still have him as part of the Powers That Be, but with a definite dark side bubbling under the surface which could give a great "Is he, isn't he" aspect to the series.
Honestry Bartram - I really loved this character in series 8 - I always look forward to seeing his encounters with Nathan whenever I watch through the series - and I always thought it such a shame that he never got a series 9 or 10 to develop further as a character.
Motley - People have said that they would rather have Folly, but I preferred Folly of the books over Folly of the screen. Plus, I think Motley stood out more as a character, and I loved the way Paul Valentine played him.
Sylvester Hands - Like Motley (And like Feet!) Paul Valentine gave a superb performance as Hands. Totally stupid, yet still capable of being very dangerous. For a new series I would keep all the funny aspects of his character, but I would also make him a little more menacing.
Skarkill - I always loved the Goblin Master! Again, not the brightest, but very dangerous. Imagine how menacing he could be if Knightmare were made for older contestants! Click Click Lovely!
It's been hard to pick just 5 and I realise there are no female characters on my list, but I would hope that either Maldame, Lillith or Elita would be a part of the classic cast in any new series.
-
OK, I can't believe I haven't done this yet!
Annie already specified Treguard, Lord Fear and Lissard... so that saves me having to use one of my spaces for Lissard. Five more I'd like to see back are:
Motley - always my favourite character. He's funnier than Folly (and the acting's a bit better), and I wasn't keen on Sylvester the Jester - I've no idea what they were trying to do with that character. Paul Valentine's a great actor and I loved him as Sly Hands, but if I had to choose, I'd say Motley.
Greystagg - as has been said before. I like her neutral stance and the fact that she could aid Dungeoneers, but be almost deadly too (although she never killed anyone, so...). She was played well, and there's much more they could have done with her.
Hordriss - although I preferred his more neutral stance from series 4 ('bad' Hordriss in series 3 didn't work for me and 'pure' Hordriss in series 8 also didn't!). We developed, once, an updated version of Hordriss for Knightmare RPG - a return to his unaligned stance, but he still rewarded winning teams with trophies, as it was such a rare occurrence. Something like that would be good.
Someone Dangerous - there needs to be, somewhere, a constant threat: a genuinely dangerous character who could and would kill a Dungeoneer. I don't like Skarkill very much, so who else? Snapper-Jack? Raptor? Cedric? Automatum? Personally, I'd invent someone new to do this, but I'm sure there's somebody threatening enough to be so.
Daisy - I'm of the opinion, really, that Treguard needs an assistant. Both Pickle and Majida have had their time, and for what it's worth, I liked Daisy!
Other characters I'd like to see come back include Smirkenorff, Hands, Merlin, Theodora, Greystagg, Bartram, the Grimwolds, Garstang, and Stiletta!
I'm very tempted, obviously, to include Robin as well...
