    It's had many other filming credits over the years, including the 1989 BBC series Voyage Of The Dawn Treader (pre-dating its caravel transformation)

    ...Or not? Thanks to Jake for bringing it to my attention that the Dawn Treader is credited as Sailing Vessel 'Carrie', which is another of Square Sail's ships that appeared as the Pinta in '1492: Conquest Of Paradise' alongside Phoenix as the Santa Maria. I think there has probably been a mixup at some point with Phoenix being mistakenly credited for this role!

      More photos of the good ship Phoenix in its Santa Maria / Cloudwalker incarnation, some taken mid-transformation:

      https://www.facebook.com/phoenix.tallship/posts/lephoenixaucinema-nous-avons-retrouv%C3%A9-quelques-photos-du-phoenix-transform%C3%A9-en-c/122193482858271242/

      After reading a comment on one of the photos, I was sad to discover the fate of the other ship Carrie, formerly known as the Dawn Treader as noted above - she was chartered for the Irish reality TV show 'Cabin Fever' (a cross between 'Big Brother' and 'Survivor' set on a ship circumnavigating Ireland) in June 2003, but ran aground off the coast of County Donegal and sank!

        The continuing quest for knowledge eventually leads to something you'd rather not know.

          I did wonder why there was no mention of Carrie among the fleet on Square Sail's website in later years, but guessed she had probably been sold at some point - I wasn't expecting this. Makes me glad the Phoenix is still around, even if it no longer resembles the Knightmare ship!

            It seems they've now divided the top floor of Hedingham Castle into two rooms, so if I ever get to visit, I sadly won't be able to take a photo that shows the whole view of Lord Fear's chamber in Series 5!

            On a more amusing note, the passage where they started the Eyeshield sequence leading into that room is now a toilet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY_-BCb7OlY&t=1m33s

                Could be worse. One of the Series 7 locations has recently changed from a tourist attraction to a five-star luxury spa hotel:

                  How is Rothberry supposed to set up his table with all those chairs in the way?

                    I was at Warwick Castle last month. No sign of Fidjit at the entrance.

                      I'd be surprised if he was - he never was in the show 🙂

                        It does look rather like the bridge/castle entrance where Fidjit first appeared (with Simon in the first episode of S7) but I believe that location (like so many in this season) is actually in Spain.

                          Ha, that does look very similar! (Fidjit was at Simancas Castle, though.)
