Knightmare.com

As you may remember from a previous forum thread, The ITV Children's Classics YouTube channel is a source of authorised Knightmare clips: over 600 of them spanning Series 1 and Series 7-8. If you want to explore these, you can use the chronological series-by-series playlists I put together.

There's some entertainment to be had in turning on the automatic subtitles during a clip and watching YouTube struggle with the finer points of Knightmare dialogue.

For example: Lord Fear, Lissard And Sidriss
a.k.a. Series 8 Quest 3: spyglass scene of Lord Fear, Lissard and the Bimboid



Below is what the characters say versus what the subtitles say.

Lissard: Lordness
Subtitles: goodness/notice/ruinous/slowness

Lord Fear: You know, Lissard, me old frog
Subtitles: you know it's hard my old frog

Lord Fear: I'm calling it a bimboid
Subtitles: I'm calling it a big boy

Lissard: Hordriss
Subtitles: gorgeous

Lord Fear: Go get me tea
Subtitles: don't get me King

It did get "skeletron" right though.

I'm hoping some of you will try this with other Knightmare clips and post any amusing findings here.

Lord Fear is Angry
a.k.a. Series 8 Quest 2: spyglass scene of Lord Fear, Lissard and Bhal-Shebah

Below is what the characters say versus what the subtitles say.

Lissard: Lordness
Subtitles: loudness/Lourdes/lawdness/Lorna's

Lord Fear: dungeoneer on board
Subtitles: dungeon eeh on ball

Lord Fear: Maldame
Subtitles: malhomme

Lord Fear: What are these cunning measures, Old Tuna Chops?
Subtitles: what are these cunning measures of old nutjobs

Lissard: Bhal-Shebah
Subtitles: perishable

Lord Fear: a really cunning plan from the mind of a master in cunning
Subtitles: a really cunning man from the mind of a mobster incoming

In honour of the forum's members totalling 888, the Teletext/Ceefax number for subtitles, here's the Knightmare clip with auto subtitles to beat them all.

The Dungeoneer Encounters Two Strange Monks
a.k.a. Series 5 Quest 1: Kathryn meets Brother Mace and Sylvester Hands in Wolfglade

It happens within the first minute of the clip, just before Brother Mace laughs. You may laugh too.
