I always like to find tapes with old adverts on them. There aren't any compensation or loan adverts at all Those were the days

It's also wierd to see the style of TV just 10 years ago. In 1992, the BBC ended the day (about 2am) with the national anthem.

"And that concludes our broadcasting day"

Wow I can't believe it's all over. Well, temporarily over anyway. I'm just thankful that it was shown at all though.

I must admit, despite still watching it, I was starting to find it a chore to wake up at 8 in the weekend, my should-be sleep in (VCR broke ).

Thanks Challenge! It was a good era, and I hope that after a rest it will be shown again (primetime, preferiably )

Definately the best and most entertaining dungeoneer I can remember. I hope more like that come along.

The titles are excellent, but I still prefer the old music. I didn't really enjoy Series 4+5, but this one is definately making up for them

Free iced buns?! Wow I can see why you were depressed leaving! I wonder how the "Simon, side step to your left" team felt

All charged to Anglia TV

I can just see their faces now looking through the bill statements "hmmm, studio rental, makeup....WHAT?! Clive, did you order 5260 iced buns?"

Free coke, Lemmings, Prince of Thieves- the ultimate early 90s experience! Anyway I hope you got over the anti-climax quickly. How were the rest of the team about it all?

Lemmings! Brilliant One of my favourite games. The early 90s were great. Did they give you free coke as well? That would put the icing on the cake

No no, it was all very pleasant. The crew were wonderful.

I think we met all the cast, and they were all wonderful

Ah, that's good. When I read your post before I thought the experience sounded quite unpleasant. Phew! So when you realised it was game over was it a huge bummer or were you just happy to get the opportunity?

the screen cuts, the crew clap

Did they clap sarcastically? i.e. "clap clap, well done" or was it in nicer spirit?

an hour inbetween each room.

!!!!

Wow, what took them so long?! So when you were filming, was it sort of like it wasn't really an adventure at all? Also, did you speak to any of the actors behind the scenes, and were they generally nice friendly people?

'Another Name For Hordriss?' The remains of a 1991 CiTV competition in action

Ah, so it was Citv competition spam then! Speaking of spam, I think Challenge have been quite good with it recently - just the modest Challenge logo in the corner and nothing else.

As for episode discussion...I'm confused! When two episodes are on at once they blend together, and being on so early for a poor owl like me (late to bed, late to rise) doesn't help.

Andrea herself reveals earlier in this thread that they thought the helmet was a FrightKnight helmet

Yeah that's quite understandable, remembering that the team haven't seen any previous attempts of the dungeon so don't know. Did they even recieve any clues that they should take the path of defence, because I don't remember hearing any

It...it can't be! He looks so different! I even pasted the photo into paint and drew a beard on and he still looked different! Now that's a sign of a good actor and makeup

Once the team was frozen at the end of the episode, did anyone else notice that the advisor on the left of the bench was cut out? Haven't seen that before.

As for Lord Fear's comment "I'll show my appreciation in my usual manner", one can only assume he means sending a bunch of flowers and a box of Milk Tray

8:00am is pretty early, I've started to break myself into it already I've heard of "early morning repeats" as in 1am, but I consider that late- this new schedule really is an early morning!

I shall miss the 19:30 rushes to my TV, and then watching Knightmare with a bottle of Yazoo, slumped in a giant beanbag. If I'm really desperate I could tape the four episodes on my miniDV camera (will that be better quality than VHS?) and watch one each day from Monday-Thursday. Depending on my new college timetable I might be able to stay up late for the late-night am repeats.

I feel sorry for the bloke. Whenever he tries to help he gets a telling off

"Merlin is no longer with us" I liked ol' Merlin.

Oh! I get it now! I had to think about that gerkin comment for a long time but I got it eventually ;D

As for the hair, I forgot about Hordriss'! Though maybe in blue.

Hmmm, it's a neck and neck between Treguard's Series 2 hairstyle (is that the same as his Series 1?) and Pickle's Series 4. Speaking of hair, I'd love to see Mr. Beckham go out onto the pitch with a Pickle one day

"Sadly, since the making of this program, all the actors are out of work"

"Sadly, since the making of this program, everyone's hair has fallen out".

I wonder how many more of these cracks he has up his sleeve.

It was a shame to see the girls go; the brunette advisor was loveleh As for team two, the Smirkenorff sequence was a wee slow I thought, borderline padding. It lasted a long time in Episode 1 but Smirkenorff was flying faster so more was happening. Maybe if they had dramatic music playing as they were riding him it wouldn't have been so bad, though as long as the weeping drawbridges have gone, I'm not complaining one bit

That was a brilliant episode I thought After the block and tackle is the most I've heard Treguard laugh before, and the advisors, especially the big one, were clearly enjoying themselves. Sorry to blaspheme, but I haven't enjoyed Series 4 in general as much as the earlier ones, but this could be my personal favourite episode I've seen so far out of all the series.

I found the ending rather dissappointing Usually at the end of the series they go through some of the rooms and show them dramatically callapsing. This end of series was less dramatic imo.

Keep in mind that there were only 122 days left until Christmas yesterday, so the ending wasn't TOO far out. It was a tad out of place and random perhaps, but I'm the type of person who looks forward to Christmas on December the 26th so I don't mind.

results in him being left with a very convincing Don King hairstlye

Spellcasting:

B, R, Y, L, C, R, E, E, M

The spellcasting chimes ring, and Eli is left with a very nice and trim hairstyle. In fact, the hairstyle is so nice and trim that all harmful electrical energy leaves him in awe of his splendor- and enters all others in the room...

Ah yes, the Goblin Master. So tell me, if I refuse to pay gold will you set you army of vacuum cleaners on me?

*licks finger, touches self" tssssssssssssss

Thanks

BTW, this is an odd question but how do people pronounce 'Eli'? I've always pronounced it "EEE-lie" but some people seem to pronounce it "EL-eee" as in Ellie. I just wanted to know so that I know how people read my name.

I'm afraid that "Oh dearrrrr. OH dearrrrrr!" does really irritate me as well

What the Lord Fear type, Mogdred type or the Simon Cowell type?

Lee is all three, mixed together, after being slapped over the face with a wet kipper. As for Gordon Ramsey...pah! He eats Gordon Ramseys for breakfast.

welcome to the looney bin forum

Looney bin, eh? Sounds like just the place for me . As for Starkill- pah! Lee eats Starkills for lunch, with a piece of jam toast, and a cup of bovril.
