Indeed. In fact, I don't think any of the KM actors ages are known other than the late John Woodnutt. He's the only one to have a date of birth on his IMDb entry.'


And indeed, Billy is correct. No ages are known (bar Mr Woodnutt), though I am sure it doesn't stop people guessing.

Who was the actor who does the chiness cacractor in Knightmare it was on today??

[Mykell]

According to IMDB Ah Wok is played by Mark Knight. He also plays Sir Hugh De Witless and (perhaps most famously) Lord Fear himself.

[RobCharles]

Crickey I never knew that!!

[darkDescender]

Well, you learn something new everyday. Congratulations, you are now enlightened.

[RobCharles]

What did you all like about Knightmare? I liked the Smerkenof Scenes with Cliff Norgate, it was really good how that was done. How was the scenes done? Was the dungener doing??

[Mykell]

I'm pretty sure that Clifford also does the voice of Smirkenorff so how they had the two characters talking to each other is a little puzzling. Perhaps they used overdubbing or taped voice?

[HStorm]

Which two characters? Smirkenorff and...?

[RobCharles]

I mean with the operation of Smerkenorf as Ive read in the website on here... what was dungener sitting on? From where we watch it it looks so real

[Mykell]

Clifford also plays Hordriss the Confuser.

As for ole Smirkie I think it may be a cleverly placed blue chair / block seat at the exact same place as the chair appears on the backdrop. The blue needed to project the back of the chair when someone sits behind it. When the dungeoneer is riding on him you can see the chair shake but the person stays still.

It's actually quite interesting thinking about how the blue sets must be set out for each room design. But then again that might just be me.

Clifford also plays Hordriss the Confuser.

Yes I know, but you were saying something about Smirkenorff appearing in the same scene with another of CN's characters. To the best of my memory, Hordriss and Smirkenorff never appeared in the same scene.

"I liked the Smerkenof Scenes with Cliff Norgate"

I think Mykell just read this and thought it referred to a scene involving Smirky and Mr. Norgate. Smallest of mistakes, anybody could've made it.

[HStorm]

Ah the penny drops! Kind of a relief in fact, I was beginning to think there was an episode I've kept missing over the last fourteen years...

[RobCharles]

Was I seeing double this morning wasnt this mornings episodes repeated from yesterdays episodes?? :-\

[Mykell]

Whoops! My mistake.

And yeah, todays episodes on Challenge were weird! The first one had the group of older guys and had just gotten past Dreadnort. They had just entered the Dwarf tunnels and spotted someone walking into a passage in front of them before the game froze. The next episode featured a brand new dungeoneer at the start! Hunh!?

I find out today though that Clifford also provided the voice of Dreadnort!
