Knightmare

[Shippou-Sensei]

not really.
poor and cheesy.
I enjoyed it though. And there seems to be an accidentally on purpose swearing in it

it is quite a lot like an episode of the show. for good and bad

Have I never said I was on Knightmare? Didn't get to wear the helmet though...

"three paces to the left, no. Three!"

 

[Lord Camomile]

Shut. Up.



(If you're lying I swear I'll shove the Helmet of Justice so far down your throat Treguard and any number of shitty little dungeoneers won't be able to get it back )

It's true , can't remember what year tbh but our English teacher got us on because he secretly admired our Warhammer RPG games we used to play in his classroom every Tuesday lunchtime. ETA: or at least it was him who got us to apply, I don't remember much I must have been 12 or 13

Lord Fear must have cast an amnesia spell.

Poor soul

He used to scare the crap out of me! When he started sensing the kids were looking at him through the spyglass... "he's seen you, he's seen you! Put it down! Run! "

How did you do? How much did they keep up the pretence, and how much of it was "right, hold on lads, the lighting's all off for this"?

This is where Knightmare had the edge over the computer games it was trying to emulate. There was nothing artificial about the intelligence of those characters. They were able to communicate with and react to the dungeoneers in ways a computer never could—guiding them, mocking them, and most importantly, listening to them. But this presented a challenge for the actors, as Myatt recalls.
“The thing a lot of people do not understand is that though it was a recorded program, we did it ‘as live,’” he said. “There were no rehearsals, because you couldn’t rehearse the children, otherwise it would no longer be a contest. We did no retakes, because again, you would have been making them into actors, which they were not. The actors in the void, as we called it, had a very hard job. They knew roughly how they were going to guide the children, but they didn’t have a script. They had to improvise. That sounds fine, but remember, you have to keep those kids on track. [The production team] tried to work out every possibility the kids could come up with. But they never did. The kids always came up with something they hadn’t thought of.”

It's an excellent article

We ran out of time in the third round got the skull of death.

The whole thing was a right laugh, I do remember that - we didn't see any of the cast before recording, when they were straight in character, though Treguard was really sound after filming and yeah it was like when you go on one of those rides at a themepark with actors who keep up the pretence the whole time pretty much, and seemed to be enjoying themselves as much as we were (like Nemesis subterraenea or summat only much better).
