Don't know if this is too early but under the knews section the Challenge bit needs to be changed to series 6. (Maybe it's a bit too early)

I'd give places but it's probably easier to grep for the next yourself - the series 2 level 2 page and series 3 level 1 page are but two examples.
Err... I thought it was 'Layer'?

"Layer" means more than one seperate piece of object applied to each other

"Lair" means a den, fortress, domain etc.

Series 8 Level Pages:

Level 1:

"...get there dungeoneer down the trapdooor..."
(should be 'their'.)
"And down goes!..."
(...isn't a sentence. 'And down they go!', or 'And down he goes!)

Level 2:

"...now its got worse..."
(should be 'it's').

Very picky, I know, but it's OK to be pedantic, right?

OK, here's more pedanticism:

Series 6, Level 3 Page:

Ariadne's 'New' Layer - should be 'lair' as has been pointed out before.
Final Causeway - this should be 'the Great Causeway' apparently.

Series 6, Teams Page:

"...just happen to be going in that direction." - happened.
"...have reached journey end..." - shouldn't that be journey's end?
"...new layer for her to give to Smirkenorff. " - Lair, again.
"...sends down a Storm Guiest..." - Stormgeist.

And Page 2:

"...from Ariadne's new layer" - *ahem*
"...and them proceed to..." - and then proceed to
"...the Grimwolds (Ogar). " - Ogre. It might be worth pointing out here (on the page) that the Grimwolds were mentioned in Series 6, but not seen, apart from Young Grimwold, who was an extra. Obviously they are a family of Ogres, apart from Mrs. G. Lord Fear also mentions them when referring to Red Death,

CITV - 1993: "There was again a card mentioning the latest Knightmare book - 'The Dragon's Lair'. Hmm, note the similarities!"
From just after episode 13 of series 7.

Series 8 1994: "but it was confirmed as a pie by Tim Child in 2003"
2004. Unless I'm thinking of something else.

On the main index page (where updates are announced), it is displayed as TES Issue 34, but when you go to read it, the front of the TES states issue 31.

Series 2 > Level 1

The site refers to the starting room as the 'Wheel of Fortune'. However when Treguard introduced this room he say...
"This team is the Wheel of Fate, it may also be the Wheel of Fortune if you are quick enough..."
(may not be precise words but I've got an audio clip of that somewhere)

Therefore the room should be labelled as the 'Wheel of Fate'.
