A bit odd, but...

Little boys and cameras are never a good mix, as they like to show off. Perhaps kids were better behaved back then, but how many time do you think they had to make edits or Treguard had to keep a straight face because one of the little lads had let one rip and the rest were in a fit of giggles?

Heh heh. Very few fans will admit it, but I think we've all wanted to know that for years.
I doubt that they called cut too often. If the boys were like the rest of us, they'd let 'em rip on the quiet, so the director probably never realised there was a reason to stop. I'm sure Hugo was keeping a straight face quite a lot.

The whole experience of being on Knightmare - not just the filming, but the train journeys, hotel stays away from home, hanging around - must have been quite overwhelming, and probably led to some quite emotional moments for the kids. Some of them, in their moodier moments, could make pencil-flinging an Olympic event! I think I would have been too nervous, and starstruck, to mess around during filming.
As I've mentioned before, I was at school with one of the Series 7 advisers; and I remember him saying that as his dungeoneer plummeted from a ledge on Play Your Cards Right, he (or one of the other advisers) can be heard saying 'sh*t'! And if not, then that was certainly a moment that would have been edited out!

I do think it's amazing how Hugo stays straight-faced sometimes. Some of my favourite moments in the early series are when he's explaining something to teams, and they're staring at him and lapping up every word. Then he stops talking and they just carry on staring. The "Get on with it" look he gives some of them is fabulous, and a few then look really guilty for having stared too long.
