Treguard was merely "the referee in the greater game of luck and glory."

"merely oversee things I don't control them."

Character wise, I'd take the early Treguard as a strictly neutral referee over the kindly granddad figure of the later years. As an intereseting twist, I'd include the dungeon master from Le Chevalier du Labyrinthe as the leader of the Powers That Be, although if that's not allowed I reckon Gwendoline would make an interesting leader. Meanwhile Lord Fear HAS to be the Leader of the Opposition over Mogdred on the basis of far greater sharpness of dialogue.

Folly should be jester over Motley on the basis of being less irritating (hey, all things are relative). Marta's probably the best serving maid in comparison with Melly and Gretal, and not just because of the low-cut of her dress. Majida should be in the PTB as well but not in the antechamber where she usually just gets in the way. Cedric and Elita have to be included as neutrals to add the right kind of obstructive rudeness, along with Hordriss, Greystagg, Lillith and Ah Wok. I'd include Skarkill, Lissard, Sly Hands and Gumboil the Indispensible for the Opposition, while I'd put in Golgarach and Igneous as the wall monsters (defintely NOT the Brollachan).

The old Wall monsters were good and so was Owen and Gargoylebut the doors would have to go.

The best assistant was Pickle, but Knightmare was better before him.

Opening from 6-8 was good though.

Personally, I'd try something weird like splicing series 2 or 3 with a bit of series 7. Very sinister dungeons, a no-second-chances attitude towards the teams, fast-paced and no seeing spells, Eye Shield etc. (the latter made the advisors redundant for a lot of the time!) All this, but with the Lord Fear/Lissard Opposition. Now, I know that they were less sinister than Morghanna or Mogdred, but if you think of Lord F's sadistic sense of humour there's no reason why he and his henchmen couldn't fit into the Old Dungeon if they upped the scariness a bit. After all, there's room for humour and cruelty in Knightmare.

If I had to though I would go with mixing series 2 and 3, they both have great dungeon styles and well acted characters such as Mogdred and Morghanna. The fast paced action of series 2 and superb tension of series 3 should combine to make awesome knightmare.
