    I recently watched Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Interestingly, Jedi Master Kelleran Beq - the host character in Jedi Temple Challenge, played by Ahmed Best - appears briefly in The Mandalorian. I wonder if there are any other examples of a gameshow character appearing in a full-fiction TV series or film. Imagine if Hugo Myatt appeared as Treguard in a drama!

    Anyone who still doesn't know how to win the quest section of The Labyrinths of Fear might be interested to hear my playthrough in the latest episode of Temporal Discussion: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/knightmarepod/ I've included details of the slight variations you can make to the very narrow winning path, but I've always been convinced that Dave Morris didn't really mean the routes to be this limited!

    The name of a recently sacked BBC presenter reminds me that Knightmare Series 2 Quest 13 featured a Scot (aka dungeoneer Karen) in the Mills of Doom.

    The volta, or "turn," in poetry is a rhetorical shift in argument, tone, or emotion, which is frequently signaled by transition words, most notably "but"... This shift is particularly prevalent in sonnets, where it serves as a crucial hinge point — often marking the transition... or introducing the final couplet. I don't suppose many children would've thought of this (if it was even intended), either in the studio or at home watching.

    Hi it's me again. I'm back with more Knightmare dreams ^^ A few nights ago, I had a dream that four kids were playing an online video game together, sort of a Knightmare co-op game. When suddenly, they were all sucked into their computers and reappeared in the Knightmare dungeons. Rather than appearing in Treguard's castle, they all appeared underneath the Tower of Goth. One of the kids tried to take a piece of food, but Lord Fear appeared and chased all the kids away. So the aim of the game was for the kids to make their way backwards and get back to Knightmare Castle, but anything and anyone could kill them along the way. I think it worked like the Spanish version of the show, i.e. if one child made it back, the whole team would win. Which is just as well because all the kids started dying to traps a little too quickly. An interesting concept though for Knightmare, starting from the end and making your way backwards.

    Another new Series 1 episode has been added. Slightly bizarre incident in the throne room - nobody ever told them that the only way is onwards, there is no turning back!!

    The final episode of The Olden Days podcast was released a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E42RgHUnOxw After eighty regular episodes and fifteen specials over exactly ten years, we've finally called it a day with this one. It was great fun making The Olden Days podcast and there's a ton of really great chat in there covering all kinds of old movies and TV shows, which will all remain available to check out at any time. I'd never have volunteered to edit the Temporal Discussion podcast without having become so superbly adept at editing The Olden Days, so you can thank The Olden Days for the fact that Temporal Discussion didn't fizzle out completely at some point last year... or at least that it isn't still stuck on Series 5 Episode 4, or something like that!

    I'm browsing through Fan Creations. I don't know if this is suitable for it but I'm working on a card based dungeon crawler that's definitely influenced by Knightmare. It's played live on stream with the audience, so the viewers are the dungeoneers and my character guides them. Is it worth posting in Fan Creations, or is that more for Knightmare specific fan projects? https://www.tiktok.com/@gongylus/video/7599004594433232150 (Mods, feel free to delete this if it isn't relevant! Just thought I'd share.)

    I enjoyed the moment where Daniel disguised himself as Lord Fear In taking on Lord Fear's Series 8 appearance, Daniel went from a skullcap to a skull helmet. As watchers, this scene gave us a sense of what would have happened if Series 6 Team 4 had used Lord Fear's ring to turn January into Lord Fear in Hands's presence.

    It seems to me that someone who's well-read would allude to those archetypes intuitively, if not intentionally, due to their prevalence in literature.

    The 'crouching on the floor' idea came from the production team through Pickle's direction, not us (undoubtedly to make it more exciting). Otherwise, we'd probably just have moved Giles laterally, which would've been slicker and less complicated than him thinking he needed to crouch down again each time (which, of course, wasn't necessary at all).

    Merlin reflects on the emergence of his alter ego Mogdred in Series 2. Based on I'm Going Slightly Mad by Queen (1991). Official lyric video When the count of episodes rises And we've double the dungeoneers A pale and more clean-shaven side of me Appears on Levels 3 and 2, oh dear Is he trying to tell you something? Dismissal's what he wants for you He says that he likes observing fear He's my dark side, I wish it wasn't true I'm going slightly bad I'm going slightly bad It finally happened, happened It finally happened, oh no It finally happened I'm slightly bad Oh dear Put Treguard under a mute spell Cast SHROUD, it was chilling His playpen put Tony in hell He wakes up dragons for killing He wants a pledge from believers Monks he pretends to be Miss Gretel he dared to kidnap To Chris he threatened puppetry Oh dear He's got a giant hand He's got a giant hand He's trying to grab you, grab you He's trying to grab you, oh yes One day technomancers Will steal his act Lord Fear He makes sure my every good deed'll Be balanced by one that's cruel He's striving to make me shut down a phase And send kids homeward for Yule...
