Damn that was a long two hours.
I'll take that silence as an addmission of ignorance and reveal my only piece of knightmare knowledege.
Ans.
Dickon was the replacment for Praveen's (twin?)brother who was taken ill before filming and was the same age as the three advisors. Dickon was chosen as he was Dom's brother and avaliable to take part in filming.
What does this mean?
As far as my understanding of knightmare goes it's the advisors that do most of the intellectual work during the show. It's reasonable to surmise therefore that the Torquay team would have won without Dickon. Obviously this is good news for Dickon as he got to win Knightmare, but you've got to feel for Prav's brother who missed a chance to be part of cult t.v. history.
Does anyone care?
Let me know if you care/belive me/found this remotely interesting.
if I get enough nice words thrown my way I may even be persuaded to do an interview with either Dickon or Dom about their experiences on Knightmare during the christmas break. Let me know and thanks for listening.
