Actually there's a thought. The Brollachan would exist on level three, whilst level one could be the occassional home of Granitas of legend.

However, I'd drop the brollachan. I never really saw the point in asking questions as a puzzle when you could just bluff your way through. it completely eliminated any kind of challenge.

I'd add in Bal'Sheba, the red dragon. However, I haven't a clue as to how you'd fit it in. It was more of an ongoing story than an entity of the dungeon.

The Powers That Be.

Treguard. Obviously!

Pickle. A good addition to the series. David Learner and Hugo Myatt always had a good working chemistry together. Plus, it was quite sweet the way Pickle would often give a little more assistance to younger/nervous teams.

Brother Mace. An excellent character, portrayed by an excellent actor in Michael Cule.

Motley. I always preferred this character to Folly. A good solid character.

Mellisandre (sp). I was torn between her and Gretel for the role of "token maid". Melly gets the nod, as her performance wasn't as annoying as Gretel's

The Opposition.

Lord Fear. Again, obviously!

Skarkill. I always enjoyed the performance of Rayner Bourton in this role. No question about this one for me.

Lissard. Initially, I thought of ditching him in place of Skarkill. However, as this is a hypothetical list, he gets in. He would be Lord Fear's HQ based lackey, whilst Skarkill prowled the dungeon and harrassed dungeoneers. Also, there could be a potential sub-plot, where Lissard and Skarkill openly despise each other, and compete for Lord Fear's favour.

Sylvester Hands. Keep this guy as the antagonistic comic relief

Mogdred. Mogdred wouldn't be aligned to Lord Fear as such, he would be a very dangerous "independant" villian, in a similar vein to Aesandre. Maybe he could be the final antagonist on the odd quest. Plus, the late John Woodnutt had the finest "evil laugh" I have ever heard.

Morghanna. See Mogdred, minus the evil laugh sentence.

Neutrals.

Hordriss. I would have the series three Confuser here. A character as potentially dangerous as he is useful.

Olaf. One of my guilty pleasures. Tom Karol is one of my favourite Knightmare performers. Keep him as a potential danger to all dungeoneers, and possibly have him end a quest or two.

Smirkenorff (sp). I'd keep him as the proud, well-spoken transporter, but maybe with a little more of an edge. If a dungeoneer were to present him with insufficient fares, he could fry the unfortunate adventurers on the spot.

Cedric. Always an enjoyable character to watch.

Greystagg. Deserves to be in any "dream team", purely based on her withering rollicking of the excellent series seven contestant, Barry.

Gundrada. Again, another guilty pleasure. True, this character was rather annoying, but she was played in such a flamboyant way, I found her impossible to dislike.

Bumptious. How could I leave this guy out?!

Monsters.

Goblins. One of the things guaranteed to send me shooting behind the couch was the dreaded sound of the goblin hunting horn. These little critters have to be in my list. Plus, i'd also have a few hobgoblins causing havoc as well.

Automaton. I always found this creature rather chilling, and a very effective villain.

Brollachan. I enjoyed watching this neither good nor bad character. Also gave some good moments, watching dungeoneers trying to blag their way past him convincingly

Ariadne. A regular scary occurrence in Knightmare was the music that accompanied the "Queen of Arachnids". It was also excellent the way Treguard and Pickle would get themselves in a flap at the first sight of her.

That is a brief list of who would make my ideal line-up. So, what do you think and who would you include in your list?

Bumptious

McGrew

Mrs. Grimwold

Brother Mace

Fatilla

Fidjit

Brother Strange

Lissard

Aesandre

Maldame

And one omission: the Samurai.

PTB:

Hordriss

Sidriss

Folly

Mellisandre

Marta

Smirkenorff

TO:

Lissard

Morghanna

Snapper Jack

The Automatum

Sylvester Hands

A bunch of Cavern Wights

The Catacomb Bite

Neutral:

Greystagg

Elita

Grimaldine

The Brollachan

The Oracle of Confusion

Probably simply the cast of Series 6.

Yeah that was the right balance I think. I was a bit disappointed Ridolfo wasn't kept on, but I suppose if you analyse series 7, there's no real place for him.

I thought the same with Julius... but then, I suppose he had had his day by then

Goblins and hobgoblin without Skarkil

Cavernwights

Troll/Giant

Series 3 skull ghosts

Series 4 Pookas

Ariadne

Giant lizard

Great Kharr

Scorpian

Series 2 Ghosts

Automatum

Bohemoth

Ogre (either series 4 Ogre of Grimwold)

Merlin, Lord Fear/Mogdred (either/or), Motley, Malice, Sylvester Hands, Hordriss, Mellisandra, Mrs Grimwold, Julius Scaramonger, Brother Mace, Skarkill, Elita, Lissard, Ridolfo, Morghanna

For creatures I'd have:

Golgarach, Oakley, Goblins (and the odd hobgoblin), Ogres, Oracles, Cavernwights, Pookas, Ghosts, Dreadnort, Smirkenorf (but not to ride on though). Oh, and Ariadne is a must have.

Pickle

Merlin

Mogdred

Malice

McGrew

Folly

Cedric

Mellisandre

Gatekeeper

Gumboil

Gibit

Hordris

Snapper Jack

Sylvester hands

Owen

Granit arse

Golgrarach

Oracle

Mug

Lillith

Probably simply the cast of Series 6.

Yeah that was the right balance I think. I was a bit disappointed Ridolfo wasn't kept on, but I suppose if you analyse series 7, there's no real place for him.

For me I'd pick:

Folly, Cedric, Olaf, Lissard, Skarkill, Brother Mace, Grimaldine, Elita, Mrs Grimwold, Sylvester Hands, Hordriss, Julius Scaramonger and Snapper Jack and perhaps Lilith.

Would make for some nice rotation during quests .

Treguard

Majida

Lord Fear

Lissard

Hordriss

Sidriss

Gundrada

Elita

Cedric

Sir Hugh De Witless

Lillith

Mrs Grimwold

Mildread

Smirkenorff

Cedric (put him and a certain elven person together and there'd be some good laughs)

"Allright Dogs bottom?"

"Yes, and you Faceache?"

Treguard

Lord Fear

Lissard

Hordriss

Cidriss

Motley

Gundrada

Elita

Cedric (put him and a certain elven person together and there'd be some good laughs)

Lilith

Granitas

Velda

Owen

Smirkenorff

The Mechanical Warrior (creepier than the goblins and was far more likely to catch you)

Treguard & Pickle

Merlin

Mogred

Mallice

Mildred

Olaf

McGrew

Motley

Melisandre

Hordris

Sidris

Mr & Mrs Grimwald, & Festus

Gundrada

Cedric

Granitas

Brangwe

Oakley

Gargolye

Owen

Oracle

Gibit

How about a combination of Lord Fear and Mogdred to be an awesome opposition, possibly unstoppable, but I did wonder if using Fear's humour would ruin the terrifying aspect of mogdred but its fun all the same.

Other enemies:

Skarkill

Snapper Jack- always wanted to see him catch someone in his net

The Brollachan

The Ogre

The trolls

Ideal line-up for neutral and powers that be:

Mcgrew

Stiletta

Oakley

Motley

Merlin

Hordriss

The boatman

As the main powers that be I thought it would be hilarious to see Treguard and Brother Mace as his assistant. Can you imagine all the jokes and laughs with the advisors. It would be a non stop comedy.

Well you really had to other wise it would've been the Irons for you!

"Would I be so Petty?"

"I wouldn't dream of claping the Irons on someone just because they perfer that Stupied Tuner Breathed cowadly Atlantian over yours truly."

"NO."

"I'D JUST SET TINY ON ERM."

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE..............LOVELY."

Skarkill (changed my mind to prefer him over Lissard)

Well you really had to other wise it would've been the Irons for you!

Powers That Be:

Treguard (obviously)

Majida (in the antechamber, with a well-written script and a few things around the Dungeon of which she has knowledge and therefore a new role to contribute)

Hordriss (not the easily tricked Hordriss of Series 7)

Sidriss (as ever, about as intelligent as an apricot)

Brother Mace (yay for Michael Cule)

Grimaldine (of course)

Neutrals:

Mrs. Grimwold and Festus the Quasi-Canine (!)

Elita (complete with camp insults and pantomime outfit)

Greystagg  

The Brollachan (to give something for Grimaldine to do)

The-Brangwen-She (my favourite of the wall monsters- could perhaps provide much needed sexual chemistry with the Brollachan )

The Opposition:

Lord Fear (but he doesn't fall for the spyglass trick so often)

Skarkill (changed my mind to prefer him over Lissard)

Sly Hands

Julius Scaramonger

Plus goblins, miremen, skeletrons, haunting skulls and all sorts of other nasties.

It wasn't Scaramounger in S8 it was Honesty Bartram.
