Temporal Discussion, A KM podcast
-
Ah, hooray! I'll be sure to slip that bit of news into an upcoming episode.
It's gone in at the very start of Episode 10!
You know, I've now become acutely aware that I've said for this news update (coming to Patreon on Friday) "some of the same shots and some different shots" but all the evidence I can find myself is of ONE different shot and ONE shot the same as on our Knightmare, both from the same Spanish castle. Is this actually the full extent of the Spanish locations on Spanish Knightmare?

I don't know as there are only two episodes of that series available so far (and only one of them happens to feature a Spanish castle), but I imagine they will have used more!
-
I imagine so as well because it would be so silly if they haven't. I really think it's so likely that there was some sort of communication between the two productions about which Spanish castles were going to be filmed by Knightmare's production team, for use on both shows.
Anyway, I'm glad that piece of news is going to be as accurate as it can be until any new information comes to light!
-
Rea is so harsh on her team - I don't think they're anywhere near one of the worst teams on Knightmare, or even in that series! Certainly they're much more likeable than some others...
Btw, Castell Coch is pronounced "Casteth", which I only found out when I was planning to go there by bus and had to consult YouTube on how to pronounce "Tongwynlais" - many thanks to the Welsh guy who'd uploaded a video about it!!
-
I should have known that Welsh double-l would be troublesome! I'll try to sneak the correct pronunciation in somewhere by the end of Series 5, otherwise it will drive me crazy.
I think Duncan's team is the worst of Series 5. I guess Jenna's would have to be second worst in terms of actually playing the game, but not in terms of watchability. I think my least favourite team ever is Douglas's, though you can't beat Akash's for pure awfulness at the game... but still, what fun!

I happened to pop back on to the website and saw TD was mentioned at the bottom (forum posts), and as a Welshman...
I accept it's absolutely difficult for non Welshies to pronounce the "LL", but I've just come up with a way to explain it - if you do the "th" sound, then move your tongue directly behind your upper front teeth, and repeat, then finally move it slightly further back along the roof of your mouth, and repeat, you should be able to achieve it.
If you see a Ll at the start of a placename, dropping an L is okay (eg, Llandudno to Landudno, not the Clandudno I hear at times!), but it doesn't work at the end.
Also, on a Castell Coch note, it was recently featured on BBC One (sadly it's lit up in blue, not red!)

This is going to be a fun segment of the podcast next time we talk about it

We may only see two Knightmare characters walk on Smirkenorff's back, but at least one other character did it when he was flying Spanish dungeoneers around - you can see Princess Isel guide one onto his back in the most recently uploaded episode of El Rescate del Talismán. (Incidentally I love how the inclusion of Smirky means that ERDT isn't just another programme based on Knightmare but actually exists within the same universe as Knightmare! Perhaps El Señor de la Maldad is one of the Gruagach's demons?)
-
Oooo, Rosey's theory is a good'un... I wasn't convinced at first (I've always thought the goblin transformation was inevitable because they just wanted to do it) but the final detail about needing to position him for the death sequence is an excellent point!
Chris squeaking "Wot?" immediately before he gets eaten is my favourite part too - funniest death ever!
I can't say I've ever thought Chris seemed uncomfortable with the quest (even when his advisors are being a bit arsey with him), but who knows.
-
That's the thing, isn't it? There's no way anyone can possibly ever know for certain now. As you might be able to tell from Episode 13, personally I'm still not 100% convinced about the idea of Smirkenorff being there to fly Chris to Level 3 in the first place, as this is something that literally never, ever happens. As I said, there's no particular reason it shouldn't happen in Series 5, but I've still always regarded it as a part of the massive, unfathomable mess that is Chris's Level 2!
-
Phew, after a rather lively Episode 16 recording session this evening, the raw material for Temporal Discussion Series 5 is now complete! But don't worry - Series 6 is already in the very active planning stages!
-
Thanks a lot, Annie. I had a great time taking a deep dive into this series of Temporal Discussion. I'm glad the Weetabix singalong was worth tagging on the end of the extended outtake reel. I'm sure the Jake Box will be activated again in the future.
-
It's been a while - longer than we intended - but we'll be recording Series 6, Episode 0, Part 1 early next month.
I've managed to convince Dave "Sonic the Comic the Podcast" Bulmer to join us for this one, and if you heard his episode back in series 1 you'll know you're in for a treat!
-
I'm itching to get going on Series 6. I've done all the prep work I can, including the thoughtful and meticulous preparation of six scripts.
-
There's a special episode all about the Knightmare books in the works (i.e. it currently exists as an Audacity project on my laptop) and regular podcast recordings have now started back up.
-
I'm planning to record a successful playthrough of The Labyrinths of Fear quest section, as its potential winning paths are so incredibly narrow, and turn it into a Temporal Discussion special. (Martin will be grateful one Friday when he has nothing else ready to upload.)
This is probably a long shot, but are there any other quest sections from the Knightmare books that anyone would like to hear completed on the podcast? Maybe a playthrough of The Forbidden Gate (Quest for the Dragon's Egg) using a particular Skill?
(Just kidding, grumpily.)
