From their earliest appearances, the goblins established themselves as menaces to unnerve teams and watchers alike. The Barry Thorne Show at the end of Series 7 did so much to undermine that, turning the goblins into the butt of cartoon slapstick jokes: put into slow motion; squished by a flatulent-sounding giant boot; dropped off a ledge; shot at with mini fireballs.
I was amused to see that in the clue room, when Oliver says "You're in a room", Alan appears to mouth along.
I probably said it and my microphone was off. We had to nominate a describer (Oliver) and a main guider (me). I assume that our microphones were adjusted in anticipation of these roles and therefore mine was off at the room description stage. As you'll appreciate, this didn't even last one room and within two or three rooms it became a free for all.I was amused to see that in the clue room, when Oliver says "You're in a room", Alan appears to mouth along
It's a funny thing the phrase "you're in a room". At the time I don't remember it being as iconic as "Where am I?", which I vaguely seem to recall (although I may be misremembering) Dunstan was supposed to say. I think "You're in a room" is just the natural response. Perhaps that's why it's become so well known. It's meaningless, non-forced, and yet a perfectly likely thing for someone to say in that situation.Alan, I like to imagine you were thinking: Don't say it, don't say it... *sigh* he's saying it. Or have I got it all wrong?
