Did anyone else see a face in the Anglia screens that would appear at the end of the episodes? "After the broadsword logo"
Absoloutely terrified me as a kid.

Do you see it? One eye on the left, the Anglia logo just on the edge of it, one eye on the right, half offscreen, then the nose in the middle and at the bottom is the mouth with one fang to the left.
I'd like to see a new season where lord fear has 'won', castle Treyguard lies in ruins, and by and large, the entire land is under his control.
The castle lair could be replaced with broken rubble and mist, along with a dark purple night 'sky', or something with dark red storm clouds. Treyguard, visibly battered, bruised and weary, along with Majida provide the resistance still, sending out dungeoneers from their ruins to try regain each quest item, the narrative being that the crown, cup, sword and shield are needed to restore balance.
Lord Fear ruling the land would mean much more guards around, but some members of townsfolk are part of the resistance.
Would make it a little bit more interesting, perhaps smirkenorff is slaving for the opposition, so for each flight he asks you to wear a disguise. Or maybe he is a rebel, and as you ride on him, you can direct him to fire at the enemy.
No need for the spyglass as such, instead make the dungeoneers carry a powder that they can sprinkle into pools to show them what Fear is up to.
Skits could involve having to march like fears soldiers to avoid detection, sticking up for Sylvester when he is about to be punished, identifying the witch queen in disguise, etc...
Whether or not the teams aquire all the items, Fear is defeated (temporarily) at the end. Perhaps the next season HE goes into hiding, or you take part in a war for control perhaps....
I'd even like to shake things up even more, perhaps Treyguard has to keep on the move constantly, along with the advisors, moving from set to set, keeping still, or even having some of Lord Fears slower soldiers confront the advisors and they have to outwit them and send them on the wrong path. Perhaps the dungeoneer can use items to save the advisors for a change....
The Pooka.
I love the seasons end credits where the pooka is travelling across the land, searching for new dungeoneers.
I think this is actually the best of all the scary faces from the show. Although I have a soft spot for the skeleton of season....3/4?
Majida (a real hottie and i loved that accent)
Witch queen (cold yet beautiful)
The waitress (loved when Fear tried it on with Lizard turned into her!)
Archer (very shapely um....chest)
When I first started rewatching knightmare, I was sucked in by all the old fans saying season 1-3 are the best.
I enjoyed those three seasons, but from season 4 and certainly 5 onwards, the show improved so much.
Season 8 is amazing, and although it uses just a very little too much of CGI, it's still excellent. So much more going on and so better edited and paced.
Classic Season 1 Treyguard with his old rough look and ambiguous side taking is always great though. However I do prefer the assistants he got in. Mejidna was particularly yummy
