Series 4 Episode 8
-
I thought Dooris was very badly acted compared with before. It used to be funny before - but now it just sounds pathetic.
-
yep i remember the CITV compertition concerned happening but i can't remember what the prize was.
i actually jotted down the letters and got have got the answer...anyone who would rather not read just dont highlight the text appering between the two ;D smilies.
the letters spelt out NAME HER BLADE (those weird symbols meaning space) and the answer was ..... Slash
anyway, yeah...i noted treguard and pickle had a different script this episode and pickle in the dungeon...spooge
the team didn't get questions from oakly but did get the first pooka of the series not a fair exchange really but it spiced it up a bit.
i reckon they were just trying to get teams through level one asap so they could get a winner...oh well, legendry episode approaching

The whole weeping door thing got very tiresome very quickly, as far as I was concerned. I'd agree the acting often wasn't up to much- certainly when compared to the She-Mumbler.

Did anybody notice that as you look at the three advisors, the one on the right, that didn't do a lot of talking, really sounded like one of the characters from Postman Pat?

Okay, that definitely merits watching it again.

As someone said above, this was for a CITV competition when the episode was first broadcast hence why there was no mention of them on Challenge. You had to write down all the letters, make a word and then send it off in a competition. There was also an episode like this in Series 3 if my memory serves me correctly.
Yep, there was a set of letters in S3 too, in much the same fashion. The letters in the S4 competition read "name her blade". Watching kidsies would have learnt Gundrada's sword was called SLASH, of course.

Oh Grimaldine Thanks so much! You're the first person to reply to one of my messages and its made me feel so welcome!, ooh us Knightmare watchers are such a lovely bunch! Ok I'll stop now - less you think i'll start stalking you.
And the on the subject of Postman Pat characters, it's the guy with the really high voice - hard to miss hehe!

I just listened again and think I see where you're coming from on the Postman Pat thing. Now we just need to get Challenge? to show Postman Pat as well so we can check it... Okay, maybe not.
And many welcomes to our little corner of existence. I think most of us know what it can be like when you go for a while without getting any message replies. Not that my tortured mind has ever dreamt up an idea like "They've all decided that if they ignore me I might go away", of course. Well, not recently, anyhow.

Um.. can't believe how easy its been they have had so much help.
And how on earth did Pikie get into the woods so fast?
It takes more than a 2 minutes to get past that stupid Door.
And the Blades in level 2? something must be wrong.
Anyway gotta love the way Simon doesn't know what sword to pick up..LOL
-
Don't worry theyll be gone tomorrow "Simon sidestep to your left" !
-
gotta agree with Tregaurd, that team were never any good at manoeuvring... Classic death, and i think one of your favourites Steve ;D
That team did have it easy, but they fell (literally) at the Block and Tackle. Would this team have stood a chance if they met Ariadne?
-
Yep its a fave death of mine whitedevil.
As for Ariadne I think they would have lived since they got a Joker card from Brother mace and I would assume thats what they would have used for her kinda like Giles team did with the Joker card.

bumping thread for tonight.

Today there was an electrical storm while this episode was on, so my recording has a bit of digital noise and skipped frames caused by interference from lightning strikes coming into the digital cable TV box.
The team had only just started when resumed from time-out. Only 2 minutes down the path, according to the info bar!
This episode seems to have various letters appearing in the rooms, probably something like the CITV competition in the previous series. This time, there was no sound effect to signify the letters appearing - so you had to look carefully!
Dooris sounded different in this episode - perhaps a female person doing it this time? The team only scored 1/3 on the true/false riddles, but the door still opened!
Encountered Merith in the eye-shield room, but she was dressed as an old crone sweeping the floor. Spoke rather like Mildread from the first two series, but with a different voice
Merith requested them to retrieve a leather-bound book for her in exchange for the eye-shield.
"Simon, side-step to your left!" in this room... oh, how that phrase will become famous later on =P
Through an eye-shield sequence into the forest clearing. Oddly enough, Fatilla the Hun appeared in this area, and they didn't have any items to give him! However, a Knightmare first (and last) - PICKLE actually came into the forest clearing and talked Fatilla out of attacking SImon! Treguard wasn't too pleased with Pickle coming into the dungeon, and ordered him back straight away!
Shame that the ad break came at the end of this scene, I was hoping to make a video capture of it.
In the next area, Oakley's glen, Fatilla thought to himself that Simon wasn't a 'forager' as Pickle said. But then Oakley appeared and frightened Fatilla off!
Another unusual situation here. After convincing Oakley that Simon wasn't a theif, he just allowed Simon to leave and take any items he wanted - without a question session first! Also Oakley gave information on each of the 3 items. They decided to take the horn and the hourglass.
They blew the horn to scare off the goblins guarding the entrance to the Fortress of Doom. Sounded like a modified version of the goblin hunting horn
Next room contained a wellway, but guarded by a huge lizard thing! They had to turn over the hourglass and set it down to temporarily freeze the lizard so they could get into the well!
Pretty short Fortress of Doom, if you ask me
In Level 2, encountered Gundrada in the stocks. Gave her water (which was on the table) and let her out. Gundrada gave them food and then accompanied Simon out of the room, requesting that they try and get back her sword.
Hordriss was in the next room, which also contained the entrance to the conveyor belt corridor. Gundrada asked Simon to go and retrieve the sword from the 'lost property' office. Hordriss asked for the name of the sword, and Gundrada tried to write the letters of the name (SLASH) in the air without being seen by Hordriss
Escaped together into the conveyor corridor, which happened to be the Corridor of Blades! This time though, Gundrada guided Simon away from all the blades.
In the next room, a goblin hunting party approached, and Gundrada got ready to fight them off - but timed out right there! Prototype intro thing used under the credits again.

Will you stop doing that unless you're going to add your own views on the episode, please? It's just as annoying as the people rushing to post new threads on the episodes, which got ridiculous.
Onto the episode itself, and the only thing that really sticks in my mind is what an absurdly easy ride Simon's team had through the dungeon. For all the people who've complained that Knightmare was too harsh on occasions, here's proof that the production team are just as capable of going too far the other way!
