Series 7 - Episode 15

And I doubt they'd have been allowed to take the Shield instead of the troll hammer. The fact there would be no dungeon if they took the Shield was made pretty obvious, in any case.

Yoiu're right James in pretty much every detail. In fact, the production team had summoned another team to Norwich to take over from us if we died - but we didn't die, so they never got to appear on the programme. However, a couple of extra details to add.
Firstly, in fact we DID carry on walking, and didn't realise we should use the return potion. As soon as we got the hammer, we walked out of the room, ready for whatever should come next. Then the director says (off camera, obviously, and in a tone of some exasperation), "exactly where do you think you are going? You've got the hammer - what exactly are you waiting for?" He sighed long and loud, and went to drag up another bit of dungeon for us to walk into. We hung our heads in shame, walked into the next room, and immediately drank the potion.
Second, we had a deal struck with us. It got to the point, I forget where, that they realised we had to be the last team - there wasn't time for another one, even if we died. But unusually for a 'last' team, we still had time to complete our adventure as well. So the deal was this: if we died, we'd get reincarnated, and go on to get the hammer and save the day - but we wouldn't get the shield of justice. But if we didn't die: we'd win the game properly as well. Double whammy. Hence the magical appearance of the shield of justice at the end of the game. Celebrations all round.

Many thanks for the extra info., Barry. Very interesting.
On a minor point, I'm John, not James.

After watching some series 7 and the end of season with the falling troll it has made me realise that the play your cards right is NOT to kill the dungeoneer.
It is more of a trap to cradle snatch Kidsies ;).
The troll falls through this puzzle and lands on top of lord fear -so this obviously indicates when a dungeoneer falls off one of the ledges and treguard says ooooh Nasty - it is not because the dungeoneer has fallen to his maker - it is because he has fallen into lord fears cradle snatching arms which are waiting below to catch the dungeoneer like a baby. ;Dlol
Lame I know but its a theory to the observation .

It is strange that the troll falls through there and lands on him. My explanation, I suppose, is that technospace doesn't obey the same laws as real space. But quite an amusing suggestion, anyway.

Yep, final episode! Some great moments today - I particularly liked when the goblin fell down on the Play Your Cards Right puzzle! Also a good moment was when Barry tried to pretend his name was "Lord Fear's Top Henchman" and offer to 'guard' Romahna. Eventually they had to fool him into drinking a Freeze potion instead.
Team were let off twice in this episode! Firstly in the room with the dripping water, the life force graphic was down to the skeleton while Barry was still running around the room. They cut back to the advisers for a second, then when they cut back the life force graphic had rewound slightly! Had they stayed on the main screen for the whole time, the skeleton would have fallen and Game Over.
They were also let off in the Corridor of Blades. The lower-right blade where Barry had to get up and sidestep to the left quickly, that definitely touched him! Too close to the end of the series to be worth starting a new quest!
The Fast Backward was a good effect. "Smirkenoff looks good in reverse!" The team's win was rigged though, it wasn't a proper 'win' as such since the eye-shield changed into the Shield of Justice. Probably a last minute decision to make the team into a winning team! Did you notice that the Shield of Justice was just the eye-shield with a new paint job?

Slightly cheated death in the corridor of blades. Like the 'Monty Python' style troll hammer.
Also I noted that without the adverts the final episode was only 22/3 minutes long, one of the shorter episodes.
-
If you see the quest chamber you can see the 2nd Eye Shield/Shield of Justice in one of the force feilds.
Anyway...
Bye bye Series 7, Bye to Marta, Rohmana, Marta, Grimaldine, the Brollachan, Fidget and Greystagg.
I feel sorry for Lord Fear, that's 2 Series Finales in a row he's been crushed.
Those Blades where going pretty fast in the Corridor of Blades.
oh and bye to the Troll aswell as the one that crushed Lord Fear, that one knew, 6 words and can count to 5.
