Not related to Knightmare, but rather exciting anyways, I think. I’ve just got back from London after doing an episode of Breakaway!!! I’m not going to spoil how I did, as I’d rather you saw for yourselves, but the new rule changes actually make the game more tense and exciting. There’s another rule that I didn’t mention when I got back from auditioning and that is that you can’t steal lives any more. Get the bonus question right and you get a life, no ifs, ands or buts, and there’s only 4 of them instead of 5.
You’ll know it’s the episode I’m on when you see the names Kerry, Simon, Jeff, Jo, Rachel and me
Well done, mate! Let us know when your episode’s been on so I can grab it off iPlayer š
Will do, Tim
Speaking of Breakaway – french news.
France 3 is looking to put another gameshow on air to expand its afternoon gameshow block (already filled with Des Chiffres et des Lettres , Slam and Questions pour un Champion).
There’s two shows in competition : Breakaway and a french creation called “Harry” – videos available here http://www.ozap.com/actu/france-3-sebastien-folin-en-competition-pour-un-jeu-quotidien/442860
Someone else pointed out on Facebook that the Atari 2600 game Pitfall is 30 years old today. This means that it took precisely five years and one day to get from this, albeit on a very basic home console, to the above, albeit on a TV budget.
Man, the early- and mid- ’80s were amazing.
