Who played the Kid in the... Forester : 2006-07-18 16:38:47
Forester begs Billy to answer the following...

Who played the Kid in the Season 6 to 8 opening titles?

He's with us for 3 Seasons but never credited in the titles despite being the most agile Dungeoneer to hit our screens.

I say he because from what little we can see I'd guess the dungeoneer in question is male.

He was actually played by '7-Up' mascot Fido Dido. At the end of the title sequence, he would have taken his helmet off and said "Knightmare, sponsored by 7-Up!" but the planned sponsorship deal fell through at the last minute. This is, of course, a complete lie.

Nah, I suspect it was just some kid they found who was fit enough to do all the moves seen in the titles. Or he could have been Tim Child's nephew or something...or both!

On the Discussion Forum, Illusion has said that he 'believes' it's Tim Child's son. So perhaps TC thought that not crediting him would downplay the nepotism.

Could be the same kid who's in the Frosties advert. We'll never know who he is either.

The kid in the Frosties advert will regret singing the praises of the cereal when he gets asked "did they really taste grrrrrrreat?" for the nine hundredth time by a media circus in twenty years time.

The kid on the Knightmare opening titles on the other hand, isn't identified. Therefore he won't be badgered in 2025 with "was the dragon real?" type questions.

I'm pretty sure that Tim Child's son (and daughter) acted as gophers for us when we took part and if memory serves, he looked older than 18.

I think it's unlikely it was his son.

Actually, I seem to recall reading somewhere who that kid was. I just can't remember what it was I read :/
