No doubt he's even better in series 6.

I thpought he was a hell of a lot better than that Majida woman.

Yes, the series 4 banter...

Treguard: "Pickle, you've been around Dunkley Wood."

Pickle: "Not for many years, master.... as I've already told you at least twice.

Treguard: "Oh yes, so you have. Sorry, I'm a bit rusty at conversation, having been in this dungeon alone for almost 3 years."

LOL, yep. I particularly disliked the one that ran with a few small variations something like:

Pickle: "Isn't that the Eye Shield, Master?"

Treguard: "Yes, I think so, Pickle. Since it's been the Eye Shield sitting there on that stand in the last six adventures, I doubt this time it's a cheese sandwich disguised as an Eye Shield. A very valuable artifact, the Eye Shield, team... blah blah... strap it on your arm... blah blah... needs some time to get used to its wearer."

Dungeoneer walks off and Eye Shield kicks in

Pickle: "The Eye Shield appears to be working, Master."

Treguard: "Yes, it sees. I don't why why I'm surprised, it's done that all year. I'd rather like to see it do something else, to be honest. I hope I'm not going to be stuck talking about this piece of junk over the next five years. Although I'm more worried about the prospect of having to talk to you for the next five years, Pickle."

Pickle: "Not for many years, master.... as I've already told you at least twice.

I just wish I didn't have to wait until next Friday to see Episode 7 onwards...I'm trapped at this University!

I LIKE series 5... the teams let me down.

Yeh, I think the teams really pull the season down a bit.

"How long is the arrow?"

"It's about 45cm long..."

"ARGH! JUST TAKE IT! TAKE IT TAKE IT!"

It's almost surreal watching that scene, they're just so silly. It's odd too, since they do have some good thought processes going on later on. "Hide the knife" is still my favourite.

I also like the vastly-improved Pickle-Treguard banter, even when it feels like a pantomime. Best bit of that was Treguard meekly smiling at the audience when trying to cover for Pickle (who was late) at the beginning of episode 2/3 (I don't know which one).

You know, that's really true. I'll admit I don't like the pantomime elements, or Pickle's silly encouragement to teams at some points, but the Treguard/Pickle stuff is- for me- a lot more well written than the Series 4 stuff, which was bland and terribly repetitive. In fact, the scripts as a whole in Series 5 are quite good. Despite all the charges we've laid against it, I do think there's much more good writing in it than Series 4.

But apart from that I'm enjoying S5.  Yes it isn't as good as Series 6 or 7 but it still has good characters and good challenges.

enjoy......

• NOW he's in a bad mood Motley *

Epi five is great, I can't wait to see it tonight at six...

At least you can watch the repeats.... Me no got Sky or anyone willing to tape for me. I'd ask someone round here like the old trading days but I don't wanna ruin any possible DVD/VHS release...

quietly praying that rumours of s5 repeat in December are true
