Ok....In the time that I just clinched an interview with Joanne Heywood, I have been granted one with Tim Child too.

I did try and set one up with him last year, however he has been a bit busy since then it would appear.

Again a form may appear on IKM soon, but all the same, let me know what you would like to ask Tim Child.

What are the things you disliked the most about Knightmare, the things that make you think "Oooh, I wish I hadn't done that"?

(Apart from reading that "They Were Right To Junk Knightmare" article I wrote a couple of years back, obviously!  :) )

Were there any lessons that you hoped that 'the watchers' would learn from Knightmare, or did you aim mainly to entertain?

---

It's been suggested that a metal statue/sculpture depicting a dungeoneer be put up in your honour - 'The Tin Child'! In what ways, besides people continuing to watch Knightmare, would you like to be remembered?

In Series 6, Lord Fear mentioned 'the Grimwold family', and a character called Young Grimwold was seen working for Julius Scaramonger. What was the thinking behind this?

Do you have any opinions on Knightmare fanfiction?

---

What other CITV programmes did you admire?

Maybe you should try and dig out the thread similar to this that was started months ago as some of the questions might be the same :D.

Ask whether Sight potions/spells were actually essential to complete the room that they were used in, or whether they could be done without.

What would a winning quest in series 1 and 3 have looked like (with special reference to the teams that made it to Level Three)?

What is the current situation regarding TimeGate and the new Km?

What would series 9 have looked like had it come in 1995?

How was the Life Force Clock made?

I have just found the old thread:

http://www.talkknightmare.co.uk/forum/y ... 1056150427

It's worth reading before posting questions incase you put a question that's already been put :)!

Thanks for the link, I know I have started one before but as I said, it fell through, so any new questions posted will be considered too.

Reguarding the old thread, on the subject of who where the goblins played by I'm not sure if it has been asked (as I couldn't see it, but it might've been) but who played the flower seller, drinks server and JS's assistant and who played other uncredited characters?

I have another one what did his daughters think about the whole thing, did they enjoy it and being there?

What does he think of fans thought's and ideas (such as on this forum) even if they are criticising i.e. graphics, objects, characters, etc.?

That's a great question.

Why was the original life force animation changed? Why was the walking man replaced with the pie/cake/quiche? Was it merely a tacit acceptance that life force meant less and less, or perhaps hadn't been important at all except for atmosphere or to hurry teams, or were there other reasons? Finally, is it a pie, a cake, or a quiche? ;)

I'll think of some more.

Dungeon Doom!!!!!!

May we see it or at least get a 'quest guide' to it??

'Time-Busters' AKA 'TIM busters' - What happened? (I'm fishing for anecdotes here)

KM, Interceptor, Cyber-Zone, Virtually Impossible, Treasure hunt, They all use the same premise of Intercom style communication between observers and a player/s in the field (a la FBI 'command from the van'). Initial inspiration and anything you would have liked to try for interactivity but couldn't due to time or budget??

Any chance for more KM outtakes or backstage memories?

As I stated on the Joanne Heywood interview post, I will be sending off the q's tomorrow night.

Also, I am attempting to get a few more people to do interviews, I'll let people know if any more come along.
