Treguard on Children's ITV 14/11/1988 and his other costume
Posted: 05 Dec 2020, 12:49
A short clip has emerged of Hugo Myatt, as Treguard, appearing on Children's ITV on Monday 14th November 1988 to announce the winners of the Design a Dungeon Room competition. I'll leave you to track it down in an obvious video sharing place, enjoy it and then return here so I can be dull about it.
There's one feature I want to comment on. I believe it's the first known appearance of the alternative Treguard costume: the outfit he never wore in a TV episode, but that seemed to have been created for publicity and offscreen Treguard appearances.
He can also be seen wearing this costume in:
David Hawtin's photo of Hugo and his motorbike, as published in the first issue of The Quest (1991) and his interview in Suffolk Norfolk Life magazine (2020);
His Knightmare Live stage appearances, including the 2016 show featured in Red Bull's Screenland documentary;
The YouTube Geek Week episode of Knightmare in 2013 - making the outfit 'canon' 25 years on.
Presumably it is the same costume each time, well looked after since the 1980s, possibly by Hugo himself throughout that time.
