Never went myself in the end as situation at home hasn't improved yet.

No committment from me due to domestic issues - will update nearer time.

If I can get the time off this could be a good way to celebrate my 45th a few days early...watch this space...

....tumbleweed....2026?

Granitas having the first crack of the wall monsters seems mysteriously (in) appropriate somehow

In Knightmare we had on occasion the urgent need to drink something NOW in Dot and Bubble there was the urgent need to pass water instead

First of all condolences for your loss Amanda and I'm doubly sorry the family situation is far from ideal.

Whilst I don't have any myself there are seemingly a good number of them on a well known Auction site. You can contact the sellers directly for any proof of authenticity and can then make an appropriate judgement call. I only know of one occasion when a previous show participant parted with theirs so the chance of getting one of those is particularly remote.

Nathan from Series 8 waxes lyrical about his time as a dungeoneer...

Pretend it's Level 3 when it's actually Level 2

It isn't very creative to do

Maybe you'll find sewers and tunnels without an end

Whenever you pretend

Remember even Tim can dream

And nothing's as mad as it may seem

The little items you haven't got could be a lot if you pretend

You'll find a quest object you can share

One amber globe you can leave when on your own

Just pressure Maldame and she'll be there

You'll never be all alone

And if you get to Level 3

You'll be pretending just like me

The cup is mine it can be yours my friend

So why don't you pretend

Long overdue and welcome here if we can!

Another chapter of Brookside's history is now forever closed off as Dean Sullivan, aka the inimitable Jimmy Corkhill, has passed on at the age of 68. Whilst I never worked with him directly he came to offer support and encouragement in the 2014 piece below and did an acclaimed turn in Talking Heads when it was performed in Birkenhead some years ago. More info: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/brookside-star-dean-sullivan-dies-aged-68/ar-AA1kLMNo?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=3c6ff1c5a1f740dcb5b2ea30debdcaf8&ei=11 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67575906

A brilliant achievement and one I hope will be replicated over the next 20 and beyond.

as for where I was 20 years ago...the other side of the world no less

As reported by Keith (https://www.knightmare.com/fanzone/articles/looking-back/citv-ends-40-years.html) CITV is no more, it has ceased to be! CITV's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! CITV's a stiff! Bereft of life, CITV rests in peace! Etc, etc. Only this time it's different with the channel being forever nestled on our hearts being the birthplace of our favourite and so many other childhood shows it lives on in our memories, discussions, the occasional dvd/vhs/cd/cassette/insert other physical media here of the lucky shows chosen. It's impetus propelled into several seasons of the RPG, a convention, sidestep projects like the Midnight Hunt, Aegis Quest Notmare and the like. It is therefore now more than ever that I rally you as fans to stand up and to take part when the chance arises and stop being armchair adventurers only even if only take part in the next social meetup. It's now almost a quarter of a century since I discovered this site and as mentioned elsewhere I've built some excellent friendships over the years along with experiences I could never replicate only cherish.

Personally on a relisten I concur with happier however the notoriously reliable Youtube subtitles give yet a further variation of 'happy else!'

Looking at this it really would be an ideal companion to Knightmare were one ever to be made. One day...

I love how the boys from St Helens don't look remotely like their 2023 counterparts I see on the bus occasionally!

Great find.

I never knew this GM book existed but it's now on my want list, thankyou.

The obvious suggestion would be Motley's statue from s8.

Spotted this too, not sure why he's advocating Mr Brush take the left hand path tho!

Works for me.

For me it's a cross between 'I do magic and shit!' or 'Shut up Will!'.
