Apart from the nitpicking I was doing occasionally, particularly with the info around the earlier series he was describing - who was good, who was bad, what room was started in what series etc, I thought it was a good condensed way to introduce people to the series.

I have recently been on a Knightmare binge watching the old series again so the info was a bit more fresh in the memory bank.

That is incredibly disappointing! I asked about the rest of the series when they originally added series4 and someone from britbox said they are working on getting the rest.

Seems like they only had a year's licence and decided not to continue with.

How did you manage to react so well when one of the dungeoneers spoke back and your your character a face ache back. It seemed to nearly cost the team when later on in their adventure they needed your help against skargill.

I guess the reason it was not as gloomy as you described is becasue it was purely computer generated. I admit there was nothing like the original drawings and art from series 1-3. You really did feel like you was in a dungeon back in medieval period and genuinely scared even of Treguard someones early on.

I read the review I noticed that the series walkthrough on thsi website says things like "same goth room as in last series". But its back to basics. Series 1-3 had similar rooms and similar situations and was quite standard how to move levels. Though the rail cart on series 3 was a beauty! People complained about the outside levels in series 4-7. So they went back to inside yet people still say its same and similar on successive quests. Series 1-3 was the same. Though I admit series 3 expanded rooms and added a few new ones here and there" Personally I liked the idea of level 3 becoming level 2. Just imagine if series 4 did this. In theory no one would get through level two because it would have been level 3 in the pervious series and no one beat the dungeon in series 3.

The only problem I had with elvel 1 in series 8 is it was so short but at least not everyone would automatically be allowed passage to level 2 if they messed up. Case in point- team 1. It showed the dungeon was not going to show mercy. That is untill......

The short cut!!!!!!!!! Why was the producers or whoeevr decided it so determined to have a winner. They were not bothered by it in series 1 or 3. It's not Dunstan or his teams fault. OK I admit they could have said they are going to do it properly but then they were kids then and you dont think of honour etc ect you just want to win.

slip of the fingers

season 7 had the most spectacular ending, with the sparks from the floor andeven an advisor pointing towards it, and the slow mo. its the first time anyhting unpleasent actually entered the ante chamber. can u imagine, if barry said to gwen- stuff the hammer, give me the shield- what ending would have happened then- would treguard and knightmare castle been destroyed with lord fear in place?

thanks for the reply, it would be good to find out

Barry's quest is always going to be one of those situations we will never know. Like Geoff Hurst in '66 (though the ball did go over the line), Barry's blade will always be one of those where we will enver know. If he did actually get hit, does anyone know if there was another team standing by. there would not be much time to stop the troll at the seris end would there?

at the moment, its on challenge on saturday and sunday 7-8am so 4 episodes a weekend, this saturday is episodes 3 and four. starting with the jewish team in level 2

If Barry's quest was a different oject, woudl he still have won? they could supplant a cup or crown or sword on an eye shield could they?

maybe it was intended to be the shield in case they did get to the end.

Surely the seris was planned to the last detail of any consequence, with somethign as complex as knightmare

I liked how the quests got seignated again from seris 7, i was hoping someone would actually win the cup just to see what it looks like or how they would play it.

When the quest chocie was given to the teams it annoys me they mostly chose the crown.

But then its the quest itself that matters, not the object of it, isnt it

how about lord fear actually doing his own dirty work, what if Julie's team in seris seven did not igure out the spell in time, what would Lord Fear have done then?

Gloat them to death and made them starve?

I was wondering if there was designated page detailing where the actors of knightmare are now and what they are doing?

I know throughout the site are scattered pieces of information ( david learner doing radio for example) nut htough it may be useful to have a thread or page on the site with as manager actors that can be managed saying what teh actors are doing now.

or better yet have a weakest link with the actors dressed as the characters- lord fear up against anne robinson, now that could be interesting!

treguard, lord fear, majida, hordriss, motly or sylvester hands, melin or mogdread, cedric (i think thats the name of the monk in seris 1-2).

as long as they were in character, it could be a good laugh

judging from the footsteps through te seris and the huge legs it looked more like a troll, as they semd to be lord Fear's new nasty's this season- especially and the climax. such a creepy laugh with Fear same his "nice one" was a bit camp

The spikes is a clever puzzle this seris, but the dungeoneer could easily just stand back and le them go through the sequence on its own. oh well.vast improvement this eposode.

I like majida more and more as she settles into the role, but there were so many changes in this seris it reminds me too much of seris 4, which in my opinion is the worse of the lot.

The problem with this seris is its too much story based and not enough puzzles, i have always liked the "Play you cards Right" but I generally like the look of Goth anyway.

Definately all the best to tim Child.

I must admit I am definately surprised that no broadcaser has picked it up.

BBC need to beef up its weekday teatime schedule on BBC2 and knghtmare is perfect for it.

I still believe knightmare will return but untill then all the nest and hopefully Challenge will still broadcast them and hopefully moove to freeview so more peope, can watch it.

And also pleas please please release them on DVD in time for 20th anniversary since it all began in 1987
