Temporal Discussion: The Knightmare Podcast

Hi Listeners of Illusion!

Martin Odoni was sadly suffering from Covid when it came time to record this episode, so I'm afraid you'll have to put up with Martin Harder on his own.

We had so many great submissions to our competition that we decided to give out a secondary prize - our very own Listeners' Choice Award.

Presented here in this podcast are the seven entries we have chosen to be eligible for the main prize. We'll be starting a poll where you will have the chance to vote for your favourite memories. the winner of this poll will receive a separate prize of either a t-shirt or mug with their choice of design from our Redbubble store. This prize is completely separate from the main prize shown in the main competition post, and the poll will have no influence on the main competition (which is essentially a prize draw, where a winner will be chosen at random).

We're not analysing the entries here or giving much feedback or opinions, as we'll be doing so on a future podcast when Mr. Odoni is able to join in.We hope you enjoy listening to these entries as much as we did. Please remember that it's okay to disagree with the opinions of others, as long as everybody remains civil :)

CAUTION TEAM: Martin H has been experimenting with Audacity, and as such this episode features a stereo surprise that is best listened to using headphones.

Episode air date: 05/10/1990

Team 2: Alastair, Harry, Martin and James from Woodbridge, Suffolk

Team 3: Nikki, Corrina, Emma and Katharine from St. Albans

We're back!

Our extended break has now come to an end, and we're returning with what is possibly the best episode of series 4 so far, not least because of the introduction of two interesting new obstacles for the team. One is the often overlooked Transporter Pad floor puzzle, whilst the other involves the introduction of a certain new corridor which has us "buzzing" with excitement...

We're taking a break for a few weeks whilst I complete my diploma. Whilst we're away we're proud to be able to bring you episodes of the Knightmare Audio Series!

The KAS, rather like the Dunshelm Players, are a group of talented amateur voice actors who put on plays based on The Greater Game. Unlike the Dunshelm Players though, KAS plays are more like an extension to the original TV series. They present new quests, with new teams of contestants tackling a new version of the Dungeon of Deceit.

Jake Collins as Treguard, Finn, Granitas and Merlin

Rosey Collins as Stephanie

Gemma Dwarwood as Velda

After a much-needed extended break, Martins Harder and Odoni are back to cast their critical eye over series 4 of Knightmare!

This episode features former editor of The Eye Shield fanzine Jake Collins, who will be putting his immense knowledge of The Greater Game to good use as we discuss the many new surprises that await in the new series.

In our second Episode Zero for series 3, we take a look at some of the news from the off-season and give our opinions on some of the stories of the day.

Ahead of series 4, we take a look at the number 1 singles and movies that were around during the off-season.

NOTICE: This parody was produced before JKR made her more controversial personal views known. Temporal Discussion - the Knightmare Podcast and The Dunshelm Players would like to make it clear that the production of this parody in no way represents endorsement of JKR's policies.

Trans rights are human rights.

Dazzled by critical acclaim, Sidriss publicly suggests that she and Hordriss might well be about to write yet another new volume in the Harry Potter saga. Hordriss despairs, partly because of idea-exhaustion, but mainly because his priorities are changing. His desire for literary achievement is being replaced with a growing affection for entrepreneurial conquest.

Originally released on November 4th 2011 to mark the 5th anniversary of The Dunshelm Players first audio play, Famous For Retreating.
