Amusing moment when they gave Sly Hands the book from Hordriss and Hands turned into a goblin.

Finally a scene where Sir Hugh actually served a useful purpose, sending the shifty Skarkill packing.

The team used clock-face directions quite neatly to move Alex across the causeway.

Encountered Elita at the end of level 1. (Much predictable abuse of dungeoneer.) Elita has certainly livened this series up so far.

In the clue-room they asked Treguard if the jam-jar was food and got told, "No, you can't consume a bottle."

Just before time-out, they discovered that poor Elita had just lost her voice. What are we gonna do for dungeoneer abuse now?

Team 4 frankly had it pretty easy overall, and this team had at least one let off too.

So when were they let off then?

Getting a password with one out of three? That wouldn't have happened under the old regime!

I wonder about the book scene - when Sly turned into the hobgoblin, did he run and put a mask on? Or was it digitally added?

With the causeway, it was almost like there was an invisible Frightknight timer (next series?) to hurry them up. They just died a split second before stepping onto the next tile, so the production team probably wanted to kill them off for previous mistakes.

Remember that book Hordriss gave them? Well, after Sly 'ands had a look at it, through the magic of sorcery he turned into a hobgoblin! Progressing to level 2, the episode timed out in a room with Hordriss and Elita.

Im now realy wondering how many times this happened.

Yes, me too. We already know of a few cases, but my instinct is that there were several more. There's certainly more teams who were let off despite obvious mistakes, and probably more we're not aware of because their mistakes on floor puzzles and such have been edited out.

But what a bloody cheat.. they should have NEVER gotten the password.. i can not waite to see them die. the blocker should have killed them off..  i just can not believe it..   it just meens any team taking the quest wont need to worry about getting questions right or wrong as they will get the results anyway...

A couple of facts to take into account here.

1: In previous series 1 correct answer was always good enuf to get the basic info needed to progress a little way.

2: Perhaps the next teams taxi had been hijacked by terrorists and therefore they wernt THERE meaning this team had to be let off.  Im now realy wondering how many times this happened.

Also its very childish but did no one else spot the hilarious line in this episode ?????.  Ohh COME on you must have noticed it on Smerky's back?.  " Now turn round and come over the seat ", me and my wife were in fits for ages, sounds like a Porno director.

This was a good episode and I like this team.  They don't take ages choosing and they're good at guiding the dungeoneer.

It was funny when the spell was used to make a hero (Sir Hugh) appear.  He might not be the brightest chap, but he's good at protecting people!  Why does he have to say the same opening line though?  Hmm...

The bit with Gwendoline made me realise that this version of the dungeon isn't so tough on dungeoneers.  She said that she'd give them the password if they answered two questions correctly.  Yet, even though they only got one right, she still let them have the password.  No way would that have happened in earlier series.

Liked the bit with Sly turning into a hobgoblin - I've noticed that the way he acts and speaks is more like the way we've come to remember now.  He sniffs more than he did at the start and his voice is rougher and not so much like Motley's.

Thought the scroll was funny - I vaguely remember that.

That aside, I like this team too. They certainly feel like one of the better teams - better team interaction, dungeoneer seems to have a better idea of what he's doing... seems to me more of the dungeon being iffy/in their favour rather than the team being bad.

Um, anyway, the episode. Pickle was annoying, and he fluffed a line that wasn't even new. I'm warming ever so slightly to the Treguard/Pickle banter overall, but I've not suddenly been overcome by a conversion to liking it- let's just say I'm flinty rather than steely in my disapproval.

This episode was a lot better as far as the regular characters went. I agree with what Velda said in one of the improperly named threads about Sly Hands sounding more like his "proper" self. I also think Mark Knight seems very into Lord Fear by now, whereas in the first few episodes he really seemed to be needing to find his way. The Skarkill/Fear conversation on the goblins was a lot of fun, even if essentially pointless.

I'm not sure what to feel about the let-off with the questions from Gwendoline. I'm not even sure what consistency would suggest. Team 3 were let off despite not even having the token and frankly, Team 4's questions from Gwendoline in the supposedly more difficult Level 2 were much easier than the ones this team received.

Some nice effects, including when Sir Hugh disappears complete with flash and that lovely sound effect. Something was a bit icky in the Blocker room, though. I need to watch it again, but I was sure I could see the edge of the blue room quite clearly.

Despite their mistake, I do like this team. They're not full of themselves, they're unassuming, they get on with things and try to work as a team. Oh, and they've obviously thought about their guidance system- "turn to 11 O'Clock" and such, which is good to see.

was it extra special or something?

i'm gonna repeat meself..  but i will say CHEAT!!!

they picked the Blood stone ....  oooooh not a very good choise if you ask me.  

But they seem to be able to handle the causeway pretty well.

Oh dear  ;D

           Good team overall. Got a couple of questions wrong from Gwen but played well the rest of the time. Looking forward to next episode. Pickle made me laugh this episode with his "asleep" routine. Any more comments?

Will post more this evening.
