That's slightly odd, I know. But a dream about Knightmare is surely still better than a nightmare about D:Ream (possibly involving being tied to a chair and forced to listen to "Things Can Only Get Better" on permanent loop).

Ooooh, well done indeed. It's the second one that I'm pretty sure hit him. Your screenshot is just as it passes him, I think. A few milliseconds earlier, I think he's even more in cutting range.

I still think the perspective fools you (as in one, not you particularly!).  All the other blade deaths I've seen have been much, much more clearcut (no pun intended) than this one, so there's no saying they wouldn't have 'let off' any team with so narrow an escape..

I think he's below it on the first one and further across than the angle indicates on the second. The tunnel's perspective is way off for the size of the corridor - the blades actually get further away from the dungeoneer as they come down the corridor.

And how he had the audacity to run right through the gap between me an' bobskull at the start of the hall of blades...PAH...he was lucky, is all I'll say about that.  

Sorry about the lines on the first one, it's because the original TV picture was interlaced and the capture card can only grab one frame. Looks to me like these two blades actually touched them - the second one for definite!

On the second pic you can also see the outline of the blue room which was used for the Corridor of Blades scenes!

I watched my tape of the Corridor of Blades scene in freeze-frame just now, and there's one point where a the edge of the blade clearly passes through Giles!  

Which number blade is it?  goes off to watch video in freeze-frame  it's very difficult to tell because of the perspective, the camera view isn't right behind and on a vertical level with the dungeoneer so a blade will quite often obscure your view of him, but it hasn't actually hit him...

Then we cut away to the advisors.

I agree, they were probably let off because it was the end of the series, like that team which died on the serpent's tongue but were allowed to continue because the backup team hadn't arrived!

Edit: I wonder, if the dungeoneers actually stood up, would the high blades actually hit them? Judging by the height, I'd think not!

It's awfully close.  Looking at where they are, and where the blade is, a split second before this screen shot, it must have hit them.

Still, you must be really annoyed if you are the last team of a series, you don'even get to finish your quest.
