List of Raven series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article details the series from the children's game show series Raven. Warriors are listed in their finishing position, so that for each week, entries at the bottom finished last, and entries at the top finish first. The final week warriors also change emblems for the final week so as not to clash with each other.

Yellow cells indicate those two winners who go through to the final week, and gold denotes the ultimate warrior for the final week winner.
Blue cells show those few warriors that have completed Way of the Warrior.
Red cells indicate injuries or retirements.

[edit] Series 1 (2002)

The first series aired at the end of 2002 as a brand-new show for the new digital channel, CBBC, and is notably different to the subsequent series. The outfits comprise trousers and shirt of varying earth-like colours, and a sash of specific colour to identify them and match their standards: mauve, sky blue, tree green, pure black, pale brown or olive green. Raven's appearance was markedly different, with a featherless blue/black jacket and limited facial hair, whilst Raven himself was much more comedic, sarcastic and friendly with the warriors, whilst still retaining his respectful nature towards them. Lacking his Staff of Power from later series, he would give and take lives using the metal clip on his middle finger. The tournament rules also differed: on the final day of each week, a warrior completing a challenge would win back a life, and no lives would be lost for failing.

Two warriors were forced to retire early. Gaale was forced to quit on the final day of the first week. Having initially hurt her knee in Stepping Stones on day three, she later hurt it again at the Castle on day four, and withdrew on day five. Sejen, who had been knocked out the day before, replaced her, but did not go through to the final. In week two, Kefra was too ill to carry on in the quest, and was replaced by new warrior Racar, who was eliminated the day after. Racar and Boyan are the only warriors of the whole series to have lost all their lives, although they did so at the end of the day after failing the Way of the Warrior, a challenge which no-one completed this series, Bryal got the closest as he made it to the swinging blades. Adluk is the only warrior not to have won any rings.

[edit] Series 2 (2003)

The second series aired at the end of 2003 and introduced a number of notable changes. Emblems for each warrior were introduced, each consisting of a different element or geological feature: sun,wave,tree,moon,cloud or the mountain. Raven's appearance changed, introducing a black feathered cape, fringed hair and a Staff of Power to give and take lives, and restore fallen warriors. Also introduced were the exchange of seven rings for a life, and Raven's nemesis, Nevar, was introduced at the Last Stand as guardian of the portal.

At last the impossible Way of the Warrior was conquered twice this series, with Ishal completing it on day four of week three; her second attempt in the final week proved less successful after failing at the swinging boulders. Varna then completed it on the final day, putting him forward to the final Last Stand. Roska is the only warrior of the whole series to momentarily have no lives whilst still in the course of his quest. With one life and six rings, he failed Dragon's Roost and lost his final life; however, having taken two rings in the challenge, the life was restored, saving him from elimination.

[edit] Series 3 (2004)

For the third series, which began airing in November 2004, the emblems were once again tweaked a small amount; Raven's hair was styled upwards, and has remained in this fashion since. Worjo was the only warrior to complete The Way of the Warrior this series, and like Varna of the previous series, he did so on the final day, putting him forward to compete in the final Last Stand. Denat was forced to retire early in the final day of Week 3 when he pulled a ligament in his arm climbing the tree in High Walk, and was replaced by eliminated warrior Maska from Week 2, who left the same day after failing the Last Stand. Teyro was the first warrior to wear the wave emblem and not go through to the final week.

[edit] Series 4 (2005)

Changes in the fourth series, airing from November 2005, include bolder designs for emblems that have remained as such to the present series, and their increased use in the show, such as the entrance to the Way of the Warrior. [1] The opening theme music, along with music used between challenges, was updated; the number of lives, and rings needed to regain one, was changed to nine.

Kinsa managed to complete the Way of the Warrior this series. Although there were no retirements, Simal was slightly injured after falling off the tree in the Leap of Faith. Dejan used to hold the record for the maximum lives and rings until Jenwin, of series 9 overtook him,Dejan himself got to fifteen rings and all nine lives. Linma managed to come back from last place in the final Last Stand, having been released from the cages behind the other two warriors, to win the challenge and become Ultimate Warrior. Dejan was slightly ahead of Kinsa by the end of the race - when Linma triumped Kinsa was slotting in her cylinder but Dejan was turning his to match the pictures

[edit] Series 6 (2007)

The sixth series aired in March 2007 and introduced new music between challenges. As with the previous series, no-one completed the Way of the Warrior; Tezan, Tonesh and Kerud reached the furthest point: the second shield. Rohak came close to the record number of rings, with thirteen rings and all nine lives intact but then Jenwin beat the record and Rohak was put into 3rd place for highest number of lives and rings.

[edit] Series 7 (2008)

Series 7 began on 28 January 2008 and introduced several new changes. The warrior's outfits were updated, and now included a padded top, and the colours were altered slightly. The emblems were given new prominence in the show, and the story behind their creation was detailed before the title sequence on the first day of each week, explaining how the symbols were used to restore light and sorcery to Raven's homeland before Nevar rose to threaten the land once more. Before a warrior undertakes a challenge, the emblem is displayed along with their warrior name. Special effects were also improved as the series was filmed for the first time in HD (High Definition), as was the music between challenges, comprising a new theme as well as improved versions of those from the three previous series.

The Way of the Warrior was also changed, switching the positions of the blades and the shields. Once again, no-one completed the challenge, but the warrior who reached the furthest point was Danil, who got to the last closing jaw before the portal, before grazing his leg against the side - the closest a warrior has come to completing the challenge since the series four victor, Kinsa. During the final week, the warrior in last place faced the Way of the Warrior starting from the first day, rather than the second, as in previous series; this was done to ensure only two warriors would remain on the final day. Danil, Lenat and Anmah were in the first all-boys final at the end of the week after Ardhu Dylar and Vansha were eliminated.

This series also had the closest ever finish on the Last Stand in week two. After Danil had entered the portal, Anmah and Lenat remained. Anmah, who had been ahead of Lenat for most of the challenge, had trouble connecting his cylinder to the rope line, allowing Lenat to catch up, and ultimately beat him to the portal by about one second. Anmah was then blasted by Nevar just as he was about to enter the portal.

Lenat is the first warrior to have the wave symbol in the final and to not reach the final 3. In both her heat and the final, Hanso started day 5 leading, but failed all of the day's trials, causing her to have to face the Last Stand significantly behind. Wilsa gave the worst performance since series 1's Adluk, losing all but one trial and gaining 2 rings in battle of the boats. She ended day 2 on 4 lives and 3 rings, not nearly enough to save her.

[edit] Series 8 (2008)

Series 8 was filmed from 25 May 2008, and aired from 30 September on BBC One. Production for this series moved to Aviemore, instead of the usual location of Castle Toward. A number of new changes were made along with the location shift, including a larger number of water-based challenges, and reverting to the original set of outfits. Scenes showing warriors adding rings to their standards, whilst Raven adds or deducts lives, as seen in all previous series, were replaced with computer-generated imagery of the warrior's emblems, with rings being added and lives being taken or added; shots showing the warriors and Raven travelling to the next challenge were removed entirely. In contrast to the seventh series, three warriors still face the final day in the final week, but these are whittled down to two beforehand by the Way of the Warrior, as in the second and third series. The ropes were very low in this series but the ropes were a sutiable height. in Series 9.

The Way of the Warrior was completely changed (removing the walls and shows demons moving the objects). Three rotating blades were introduced in the middle of the challenge, and most warriors were eliminated by touching them. Whilst no-one completed the challenge this series, Druan managed to reach the furthest point by tackling the barrel section, but was unable to dismount and touched the floor; apart from Druan, only Rimah and Milex managed to pass the blades, each then succumbing at the start of the barrel.in the later series 9 many more people got passed the barrel and the blades and got to the shields. The Last Stand also changed, including the introduction of a shield and some emblem-shaped pieces to fit in the shield, which when complete, will vanquish their demons and pass Nevar. Phidel, Sarpes and Sonaj are the first to have a three-girl final.

One warrior was injured during this series: Thyran, who sustained an injury to her wrist during the Ring Rack challenge. Unable to continue, she was replaced by new warrior, Vilsar, who continued with Thyran's emblem, rings, and lives, but was eliminated the day after. Druan slightly hurt his back in the final Deep Loch challenge, but was able to continue.

Like series 7, this series was also filmed in high-definition, but unlike the previous incarnation, also aired and repeated on the BBC HD channel in the evening following the afternoon BBC One broadcast. An interview with Valso has been shown on CBBC.

[edit] Series 9 (2009)

Series 9 was filmed in the same location as the series 8. Lamald, Wenod and Javmay got the furthest in the Way Of The Warrior by getting to the shields. Apart from them only Tridic and Harsam got passed the rotating blades each scrambling at the start of the barrel. Forell and Reggos made the quickest exit by falling off the swinging logs at the start of the challenge. Yercas was the only warrior of Series 9 to touch the rotating blades. There was a new jigsaw in last stand. You had to make a bridge. Reggos who struggled quite a bit managed to pull himself back up. This was because Yalbec, who was coming 1st all of that day, could not do the new jigsaw quick enough in Last Stand. Reggos therefore got to the final but failed at way of the warrior coming fifth. Yenja was replaced by Tridic. Tridic is also the first replacement warrior to make it to the final due to the rings and feathers Yenja had left her. Jenwin was the first to get an eleventh life. Jenwin held a maximum of 11 lives, which equals 9 lives and 18 rings. This beats Dejan's record by three gold rings. The Last Stand in the final was very close, with Dyrel knocking the final gate down just seconds before Bertar.
