Look at the eyes. Different colour to Hugo's I know, but very similar shape! And the dancing eyebrows too.

Forget International Knightmare, I'm dreading the day they decide to do a Celebrity Knightmare.

...You mean The Adventure Game? (only with rolling games and no guarantee any of them wouldn't have to walk home from Arg)

[...I'm still trying to work out how "The devisers shared a love of Dungeons and Dragons and wished to televise it." managed to mutate it's way into, well, green cheese, royal teapots, and light physics puzzles in space, actually, but I think I'd quite enjoy sitting in on their sessions...]

(As for Deal or No Deal, it's a game of trying to sell a commodity of highly volatile value via one dimensional negotiation. That would make it stocks and shares in gameshow form, then [Shame the UK version doesn't involve Noel Edmonds in the other type of stocks...]. It also serves to illustrate utility theory quite nicely, and there have been papers published using it as evidence. I stopped watching when the host and most of the contestants started to mistake "Ignoring the game and going away with whatever's in your box regardless of the offers" for the game. Although Charlie Brooker's review of it as Schroedinger's Boxes was entertaining.)

And to think that all I was going to suggest was that they were country folks who'd won a lottery or something... think I've been rescued in brilliant style!

Nice to have you on the forum, nin_ken_dog.

Hee hee! It's good to be here.

Many thanks. I realised later on that the end of Philadelphia also sounds like "L. Fear", so the Opposition would be pleased as well.

It's much the same with Deal Or No Deal in the UK. I've never really understood the appeal. The last time box-opening was that annoying to listen to was on Knightmare, when Pixel flew out of them!

Ah, the state where instead of saying, "Let's go to KFC for some food", you need only say, "Let's go to FC for some food."

I should put the hose to you for being so clever, Drassil. pulls out hose

Well, on the US DoND, we don't have the family members holding boxes. We have suitcases held by lovely ladies...

And we still call it KFC, because we're lazy like that

I must say not only is that answer plausible, but it's adorable.

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of "southern folk" who go on game shows like "Deal or No Deal" ^_^;;;

And that is a LOT of screaming and crying.

And by the way, I live in Kentucky, USA.

fixing teeth? from google:

Cletus M Bonds III PC is a Exton dentist. Need a dentist? Call Cletus M Bonds III PC.

80 W Welsh Pool Rd # 205, Exton PA

610-363-0809

I know Exton's not Philadelphia, but Howard Johnson III might pop over for a filling or to play 'Knightmare' on Cletus' Amstrad.

That was unexpected, but funny

Let's throw the question back at the questioner then. You're the American, Nin_Ken, so you tell us what people named "John Boy, Cleetus and Barb" doing in Philadelphia...

Because that's where the USA's portal to Knightmare Castle is located. It's the ideal place for one: Treguard likes the name Philadelphia because it means brotherly love, a quality that's helped many a Knightmare team to victory; and Pickle likes it because the end sounds like 'elf ear'.

I must say not only is that answer plausible, but it's adorable.

And by the way, I live in Kentucky, USA.

Just imagine it!

"Enter, Stranger!"

WHOOSH!

"Who challenges my dungeon?"

"Howard Johnson III, from Philadelphia,"

"Very well! Call your advisors to us, please!"

"John Boy, Cleetus and Barb!"

A bit random, but as an American I gotta point this out

What exactly are people named "John Boy, Cleetus and Barb" doing in Philadelphia?!

Christian Bale leaves Gotham for Goth, and tackles the great joker that is Lord Fear in:

BATMAN : THE DARK KNIGHTMARE

And the much-anticipated follow up to Snakes On A Plane, look out for:

GOBLINS ON A DESCENDER

where you can be almost certain of hearing the line:

"Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfin' Goblins on this motherfin' Descender!"

Also coming soon to a magic mirror near you, Matt Damon plays a secret agent on the run from a mindless mechanical warrior with nothing better to do, in The Bored Automatum

The Dungeon

The novels

Stupid American kids going back in time and there being strangely no linguistic barrier between modern American Englaish and middle English.

Personally I think it would have to be something that would include chacracteres from all 8 series.

It would ahve to have:

Treguard

Pickle

Velda

Folly or Motley

Mellisandre (not Gretel)

Hordris

Brother Mace

Cedric

Mogdred

Merlin

Morghana or Malice

Greystag

McGrew

Gundrada

Gibit

Gatekeeper

Possibly Lord Fear

Skarkil

Fatilla

Gumboil

Grippa, Rhak and Tiny

Smirkanauf

Owen

Oakley

Granitas

The Oracle of Confusion

Prepare for a thrilling extravaganza that will thrillingly take you on the thrilling ride of a thrilling lifetime. The thrilling Dame Judi Thrilling Dench in the thrilling thriller of the thrilling year...

Wight Noise

It's thrilling...

I, Rowboat

('Deep is da Dunswater. And cooooold....')

Kate Blanchette as Greystag

John Hurt or John Cleese as Mogdred

Orlando Bloom as Pickle

Christopher Lee as Hordris

Eric Idol as Motley

Tony Robinson as Sylvester hands

What kinds of scenes would people like to see in a KM movie, e.g. who would fight who?

Where would it take place, in Medieval England, in the present or in the Dungeon?

Hordriss: Christopher Lee

Maldame: Sian Phillips

Julius Scaramonger: Sean Bean

Mogdred: Ian McKellan or Anthony Hopkins

Sir Hugh de Witless: Jack Davenport

McGrew: Robbie Coultrane

Merlin: Derek Jacobi

Mrs. Grimwold: Miriam Margolyes

Mr. Grimwold: whoever played Father Stack in Father Ted

Grimaldine: Richard o'Brien

Captain Neamanor: Geoffrey Rush

I'd never re-cast Treguard, Lord Fear or Sylvester Hands (though if I had to I'd choose Brian Blessed, either John Hurt or Alan Rickman and Eric Idle respectively).

Angelina Jolie- Velda

Sean Connery- Hordriss

I think I said this one in an earlier thread long time ago possibly Sean Bean- Skarkill

Ian Mckellen- Merlin

Arnold Schwarzenegger- dreadnort

Sarah Michelle Gellar- Elita

Tim Robbins- wellway guard, gibbet/gumboil perhaps

Catherine Zeta Jones- Greystagg

Also which Hollywood film characters are so like which Knightmare characters?

Olaf: Dolf Lungren
