if by the room with the swinging pendulum you mean the one at the end of Series 4 Episode 1 then it wasnt actually used at all in the English series. It was however used in the French Version...
Those Who Live In The Past Are Doomed To Repeat It
There was the thing in series 4 where the ceiling started to fall down as the dungeoneer went along the weeping drawbridge
And that team was blatently let off, as you can see that she had at least another 3 steps to go before she got out of the room - yet she did not die...
i dont really think it was much of a trap just a tension builder.
if they had pulled em up on it then it would have been most unfair considering no other team had to escape it. with dooris, you get the q's right, you live. the ceiling was just for our benfefit
Slightly off the topic, but only slightly though. There once I think that the room that led to the long green cavern path (s3) I think led to an actual room. I know the team ended up in a room, but they took the left hand door and not the one straight ahead though! I think that it was Martin's team. Anyway it was the dungeoneer who had to help Velda.

Probably was team twelve then (can't remember though). Usually the room displayed the long green cavern path in the background, but on that occasin the background was black and so we could see nothing in the background!

Hey If I'm not mistaken, that room you're referring to (without the cavern path beyond it) was also used in Series 2. I can remember at least occasion when it appeared as Ariadne's lair (Team 2 I think), where the team were hoping in their panic to take the left hand path, but a sudden web appearing over the top leading to them taking the centre path.
Rather obvious additions - the final 'joke-for-a-challenge' causeway in S5 was only encountered by the winning team, and also the great causeway was encountered my more than one team, the whole 'realm' of the Last Dungeons was only seen by Ben as well. The atmosphere and environment of the latter stages of that quest especially were fantastic. Saw Adrian Neil have a piece of the action as well.
