Im sorry, but Treguard is helping them WAY too much in this series.

He's even started guiding the dungeoneers 'climb over the back of the seat and leave the firestone'

He;s started the annoying habbit of pretending to not know what the items are. 'think its up the back there somewhere' was bad enough but now 'think thats a lamp'. YOU KNOW ITS A LAMP. what happened to the confident Treguard who KNEW the dungeon?

Shall we take the book?

"Ooh its quite useful"

So now, he's telling them what items to take, in LEVEL 2.

And they were blatantly told they suddenly had the BOLT spell and Treguard went 'USE IT'. Ooh I give up. WAY TOO MANY. But they still died, so they were particularly hopeless.

The new team by contrast have a much tougher quest.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to have found Series 7-8's Uncle/Grandpa Treguard distracting at best.

Team 5 were assigned the quest for the (poisoned)chalice. They had a lively start, running straight into Romahna, with goblin horns approaching, just as time-out arrived.

A recent tweet suggests that Series 7 Team 5 went to the same school in Salisbury as Series 6 Team 5. I hope the school put it in their prospectus.

Made a total shambles of timing their run past the troll's club and avoided life-force damage by luck rather than judgment. These sight potions seem to hinder teams rather than help. Her advisors would have done better guiding her in the traditional manner.

Encountered Grimaldine, who traded their horn for a firestone, which they immediately gave to Smirky for passage to level 2. The dragon flight was very lengthy.

Straight to a clue-area. Chose the magic book and the lamp.

In the next chamber Naila was cornered by Raptor and the goblins. Used the spell-book to cast "BOLT" to drive them away.

Next-up was the brollachan. They nearly missed the first question as they were talking. Dealt with the questions easily, altho they were all 50:50.

Treguard suggested that they use the lamp in the dwarf tunnels. It didn't look much darker than usual, but they nearly missed a spyglass. Learned a trap combo using it.

They didn't look at all convincing in the trial by spikes. Were very slow and eventually panicked and stepped backwards onto a spike. Oooh nasty!

"OOh stop stop its too dark in here just for ..

then he stops wonder if he realised that come across quite dodgy in thinking if you have a mad mind like mine.

then one of Nilas friends starts laughing he he he maybe she thought it was a joke

at leas they had a glo torcch

Such a cool word!! I liked the end of series 6 where Lord Fear is shown saying it again but they've forgotten to key out the blue screen and I think that Mark Knight had forgotten to put his contact lenses in!!

LOL! I never noticed that before!

Duh???? This should be rated alongside the infamous block and tackle sidestep to the left death..... what a stupid mistake!

The production crew were letting them get across... just another guiding mistake

GOLBIN FODDER.

Also this episode featured the word GOBLINFODDER twice. lol

The sad thing is they would have been allowed cross.. the only reason they died was due to poor guiding.. there is no chance the team would have been kill for going to slow.

um a talking book... Tregurad advice isn't that important anyway.. telling people what the objects are, were the exit is or describing the puzzle is ok, but telling them what to pick up and when to use something is wrong.. mind you it's obvious anyway.. and i think u'll find he always did hint when a spell or object was needed.. so it no different than the early seasons.

I gotideas of how the spike would go through them

I almost missed this episode, by the way: I was watching the adverts, waiting for Knightmare to start, when I realised I was on the wrong channel! Luckily I managed to tune in in time to see the end of the opening credits.
