In one round of Countdown today, the contestants came up with both PICKLE and MALICE!

I commented on the fire cave being based on the giant's cave when I first noticed it, and David Rowe's book mentions how it was created. I was aware of the snake room being re-used for the Wheel of Fate, but I don't think I'd ever realised that part of it appears in the lion's head room - good spot!...

That's a blast from the past. I remember him as "Buml0r"...

I mentioned this to him over Twitter DM. His reply:

Wow, find out how they know me, buml0r was LONG ago, like anywhere between 10 and 20 years ago

Hehe, from reading alt.digi back in the day!

And finally... does anyone know if the " Ooooh, naaasty " catchphrase was borrowed from Leslie Phillips in The Navy Lark (consciously or otherwise)? It may just be coincidence, but their delivery is so similar, I'm wondering if Hugo Myatt was a fan! Hugo has answered this question himself...

I assume she made it up. She uses the same insult for Sly Hands and Lord Fear!

Beef-bonce?

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, the Knightmare Live Twitch interview with Alec Westwood is fantastic. He shares some headcanons about Folly that fit really nicely with stuff that's hinted at in the first book (even though he didn't know about Folly being in the book!), and reveals some information abo...

It's how I immediately understood it the first time I heard it, so.... *shrug* Guess everyone knows my secret identity now!

Treguard's " Oh dear, what a pity, never mind " always reminds me of Willy Wonka. Glad someone else had the same thought! The trust betrayal part of the riddle is about grassing up an accomplice, isn't it? (I assumed " when common said " was a hint that the second meaning of gras...

I'm delighted there's now a dedicated Knightmare podcast. Can't believe the idea had never occurred to me, despite the show being featured in episodes of various other podcasts. I really enjoyed the first episode - didn't entirely agree with every criticism, but most of it had me nodding and smiling...

I felt really sorry for team 3. Nathan was one of the best dungeoneers ever. Rather like Sophia's team (S6 T6) they were an excellent team that were actually better than a couple of the winning teams down the years. It wouldn't have been undeserved if they had triumphed. Fully agreed! They are one ...

These are great. That gift shop must be the biggest change to a KM location out of them all. Yeah, I think so. Unless you count the 'flower girl' building from Series 5 which has been moved to a different part of the museum! The shot of those tall standing stones (where the dungeoneer first appears...
