[Recorded on Sunday 6th of October 2024 @ 12pm interviewed by Mikey Smith)
We are pleased to confirm that Two Point Studios co-founder Gary Carr is confirmed for PLAY Expo Blackpool this year.
Gary Carr began his career at Palace Software, where he worked on titles such as Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior and Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax. In 1989, he moved to Bullfrog Productions, where he collaborated with Peter Molyneux on Powermonger and Theme Park.
After a short stint at Bitmap Brothers, where he worked on The Chaos Engine 2, Gary returned to Bullfrog in 1995 to work on Theme Hospital, cementing his reputation in crafting simulation-based gameplay which blended humour, strategy, and deep narrative elements.
Following Bullfrog, Gary was Joint MD of Muckyfoot Productions, who created Urban Chaos and the critically acclaimed but ultimately unsuccessful simulation game Startopia S. He then moved to Lionhead as Executive Producer on The Movies, Project "Milo" and Fable the Journey. After Peter Molyneux's departure he became Creative Director of Lionhead.
Leaving Lionhead in 2015 to start up Two Point Studios, Gary returned to the management simulation genre with the release of Two Point Hospital in 2018. The game was a spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. Under Carr’s leadership, Two Point Studios has continued to thrive, delivering expansions to Two Point Hospital and new projects such as Two Point Campus.
Gary will be giving a talk on his career on Sunday at PLAY Expo Blackpool.

![KNIGHTMARE PANEL [PLAY EXPO LONDON 2018]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2TYrpCSs53Y/hqdefault.jpg "KNIGHTMARE PANEL [PLAY EXPO LONDON 2018]
(Filmed on Sunday 12th of August 2018)
Knightmare was a fantasy adventure game show, shown on ITV in the UK between 1987 & 1994. Created and produced by Tim Child, it made extensive use the “Chroma-Key” (Blue Screen) Technique to send its participants through fantasy medieval dungeons, solving puzzles, and interacting with the world and its unusual denizens. Welcome to the Knightmare Live at PLAY Expo London and we have the following guests on our panel.
Hugo Myatt
Hugo played the Dungeon Master Treguard in Knightmare throughout its entire run between 1987 & 1994, with Treguard being the only recurring character to appear in every single one of the 112 episodes. To coincide with us bringing Knightmare Live! to PLAY Expo London, we thought itd be a perfect opportunity to bring along Treguard himself to take part in our Knightmare TV Show Panel.
David Rowe
Known for his gorgeous cover arts for games such as Populous, James Pond 2, and Shadow of the Beast 3, David provided airbrushed backdrops for use in Knightmare; sometimes doing 20 hour days to ensure the audience and participants had new and exciting dungeons to explore.
Paul Flannery
In 2013 Actor turned Creative Director Paul Flannery debuted his live adaptation for the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received rave reviews and sell-out audiences. It has since been performed in Edinburgh (2014), on a national tour, and a one-off special show at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End!
