In my opinion series 6 was the peak. I still enjoy 7 and 8 but it was never quite the same again.

I think Akash's team are country mile winners for least intelligent team. It wasn't really Akash's fault, but his 3 advisors were complete bimbos. I think they were the only team to fail all three questions from a wall monster and their quest had to be reshot to save them their embrassment a little.

Most intelligent - I always thought Dickens team in Series 4 were very intelligent. They had to answer a lot of questions throughout their quest. Julie and Barry's teams are up there as well.

Folly without a doubt.

Raptor: Rogaine

Folly: Prozac

Lord Fear: Monopoly

Grimaldine: Copy of Austin Powers

Elita: An orange from Granny, complete with tantrum

The Dreadknort: Anger management.

Cedric: Tick tack toe because he must get bored sitting on that stone.

Lilith: Margaret Thatcher signed photo.

Merlin/Mogdred: A copy of Jekyll and Hyde.

Sidriss: Red Ruby Shoes

Juluis Scaramonger: Nothing cos he'd just trade it.

Thing from the Adams Family.

Picture him bringing the knapsack and helmet for Treguard. In the middle of a quest he could climb up on an advisers shoulder and poke them in the face when they're being stupid like Akash's advisers.

Also Folly should have never been replaced by Motley.

Favourite:

1. Series 6

2. Series 3

3. Series 2

4. Series 4

5. Series 1

6. Series 7

7. Series 8

8 ) Series 5

Easiest: Most definitely series 8 I think, which makes Team 1 look all the more embarassing.

Hardest: Series 3

I think the show reached it's peak at Level 3 from what it started as. However it went through two transition series's and eventually brought us the brilliant Series 6. I think Knightmare went downhill from there. It was still good but it was in decline and the ideas were running thin.

Where was Lord Fear for Series 1-4? Was he always behind the scenes? I'm sure Fatilla makes reference to "Old boney helmet" or something along those lines in Series 4.

Yeah I like it, but I'd have to see someone die on it to see how good it is properly.

1. Transporter Pads

2. Corridor of Blades

3. Timed Causeways

4. Doors with the Giant Foot (Series 3)

5. Ariadne's Lair (The earliest one, series 2 maybe)

6. Trial By Spikes (With a troll chasing)

7. Block and Tackle

Play your cards right

9. Merlin's chamber (Series 3)

10. Guillotine Door

What happened to the characters in the dungeon after the first phase shift (they all seemed to become extinct except Merlin and Mogdred....oh and Olaf!)

Probably simply the cast of Series 6.

Yeah that was the right balance I think. I was a bit disappointed Ridolfo wasn't kept on, but I suppose if you analyse series 7, there's no real place for him.

The two things I don't like about the pilot:

1. The dwarf tunnel music combined with the dungeoneer almost dancing down the tunnels

2. The movement is a little...slow and robotic.

Apart from that everything else is great. Is Sylvester Hands going to make a return?

Well he had a stereotypical Queens English accent in that episode. He is listed as "British Man" for the episode as well. So basically I have no idea whether he is actually British or not.

Just found out today that he is in an episode of Sabrina the Teenage witch. I've seen the episode many times but never realised it was him.

Here's a picture of Aunt Zelda choking everyone's favourite troubadour/captain

Excluding the main characters such as Treguard, Lord Fear, Merlin/Mogdred, Majida and Pickle who would you pick in an all time cast?

For me I'd pick:

Folly, Cedric, Olaf, Lissard, Skarkill, Brother Mace, Grimaldine, Elita, Mrs Grimwold, Sylvester Hands, Hordriss, Julius Scaramonger and Snapper Jack and perhaps Lilith.

Would make for some nice rotation during quests .

Team 5 were in level 2 being chased by a troll when it timed out. I think it's episodes 8 and 9 tomorrow.

Countdowns tea time teaser today was "Faceache" !

One of Dinamo Kiev's players is called Ridolfo.
