Regarding the reverb, to an extent I was kind of stuck with it, as, as far as I can tell, Mogdred and Morghanna's voices always echoed when they spoke. 'Made of magic' sort of thing. Might just be that we only ever saw them when they were in echoey chambers, but it didn't seem like it. There were a couple of scenes where I might have left it out though.

The only other thing I could say is that maybe it tried to explain too much and maybe a little too much was packed in? Although it was nice to hear a variety of talent, every aspect of the Series 3-4 link was explained, sometimes unnecessarily I thought. Although this only just steps across the boundary I think, and it doesn't really spoil the play for me at all. Having said that, the plot was very good, although I still don't like the idea of Lord Fear killing Merlin (although this was carried forwards from FFR) - I don't know why but it's not something I can see happening.

But well done everyone for the great likenesses. Would like to hear more and be involved in future productions - they're great fun and a good homage to Knightmare. This one was even better than Famous for Retreating.

Any particular details you liked/disliked?

This episode is bang on 28 minutes long (although a large chunk of that is taken up by the closing theme music - called Under The Surface and composed by an American called Seb Morawietz in case anyone cares to know), and the whole play, rather eerily, finishes out at almost exactly two hours in length, give or take half a minute.

I'd like to thank all those who were in the cast, who are listed as follows; -

Treguard………………………………………………………Ruzl Odoni

Malice…………………………………………………Helen Becconsall

Pickle………………………………………………………Andy Marshall

Aedric (Lord Fear)/Fatilla The Hun……………Martin Odoni

Morghanna/Mistress Goody(badwife)………Rosey Collins

Merlin………………………………………………………Matt Richings

Mogdred…………………………………………………Martin Harder

Hordriss the Confuser/Gumboil…………………Jake Collins

Skarkill………………………………………………………Ricky Temple

Sir Hugh de Wittless………………………………………Adam Hall

Further thanks are due to others who helped away from the mics. Acknowledgements therefore go out to Andrew 'Snowcat' Kenny for constructively abusive feedback on sound effects, and to Robin Barlow, Emma Venvell, Sue McPherson, David Forester, Kieran O'Brien, Billy Hicks and Clare Speedie for advice on the script, and/or help with the abortive arrangements for a studio meet-up.

If you have any thoughts or questions about the play, please do get in touch (despite what you might have been told, we won't bite!), either by replying to this thread, by posting to our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=36702986&ref=profile#!/group.php?gid=111122715596729&ref=mf), or sending a message to our e-mail address (thedunshelmplayers@tiscali.co.uk).

Looking to the future of the audio plays, there will probably be another skitlet offering at Christmas, but it's unlikely that we will be producing any more material beyond that. We did have plans in place for a number of other projects, but a general lack of interest is taking its toll.

Part 4 will be the conclusion and should be available within the week, barring mishaps.

Part three should be up soon, certainly it shouldn't take anything like another month. (Touch wood.)

...with part two to follow in the next few days.

I'm not completely sure yet how long the play is at its full length (although I can say with confidence it's a lot longer than Famous For Retreating or Yes, Dungeon Master). This opening episode is roughly twenty-nine minutes long.

Sound quality isn't as high as it was on FFR - still patches of distortion and variable recording rates - although as an effort from our 'made-from-home' selection, it's our cleanest production to date.

Any feedback, please post comments on this thread, on our FB group page (http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=111122715596729), or on the blogpage above; our e-mail is currently out of action until mid-September, so please don't bother trying to contact us that way for the time being.

Watch this space for announcements of subsequent episodes.

Like Famous For Retreating, Five Tribes will be released in five parts. The first of these parts is already more or less ready to go, so I will finish tidying that up over the Bank Holiday weekend, and it should be available to download from Monday. Subsequent parts will be released one at a time roughly each week from there, and so the whole play should be available from the final week in September.

Just click on the link marked 'Trailer Two' and it'll take you to the download page. Take this chance to hear something we haven't heard fresh in twenty (count them! Twenty!) years... THE DIABOLICAL LAUGHTER OF MOGDRED!!! (Quick! Someone say, "DUN-DUN DUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!")

And before anyone asks, yes the choice of backing music for the new trailer is a very obvious joke. But it does actually make it sound rather good, so give it a go.
