One of the biggest James Acaster stories in wilty, the cabbage one, was told numerous times, they even covered the multiple parts of the cabbage saga over months, till he finally got his revenge
@@bradleygrant1317 It would be a very easy show to do, just spread the team members out a little further and you're basically done. It's not like it's a show with physical interaction. After that, it's just the audience for which they can do the same, or have no audience.
Am I the only one who would genuinely watch every minute of their studio time quite happily? Like I'm sure the in studio shoots take the better part of a day for each episode ... but im also sure its full of hilarious stories and brilliant banter that I'd be quite entertained to watch while I worked lol
@Barnacle Felcher oh sure ... I'm not suggesting they live stream the whole studio day with no filters or anything ... but even if they did a "QI XL" or "A bit more news for you" sort of thing ... even just for youtube and iplayer or whatever ... like a 2 hour episode full of nonsense and "bloopers" and so on
@@BurnEdOutOne , it depends. The neck is very vulnerable on humans. Greg might have tried to stand up and felt that the guy would use his weight to pull down and snap it. Or without that, if the guy was heavy enough he could have kept Greg down in a headlock. Fat or muscle, doesn't matter as long as he's got his arms locked tight.
I can't imagine anyone even daring to try to get Greg Davies in a headlock. That's risking your life right there. He might come at you like a windmill of bones.
As a non Brit watching i had to take a moment to wonder if "chicken auctioneer" was just British slang for something or an actual guy selling chickens.
This sheds light on this week's studio task where they asked Daisy to act as a chicken auctioneer who needed to sneeze.... obviously not expecting her to put one finger over her upper lip and have her other hand in the air as if she was dOiNG a NAZI SALuTE. I died.
It's bizarre how much studio stuff was cut this year in favour of quite long task segments. I'd have thought the opposite was the way to go given this year's restrictions on filming
I'm now in awe of an eight foot cranky chicken farmer that likes to go for neck wringing. Brings a whole meaning to "battery farmed"... Big Bloke? He must be visible from space. London has the BT tower, the Shard and Greg Davis on his commute to work as the landmarks tourists navigate by. The Japanese tourists are terrified of Greg. So this "bloke" must have been big.
I could watch whole episodes of taskmaster here on youtube but now it says it's not available in my country. After season 9 I can't watch whole episodes anymore. Even if i change my location to UK it doesn't work. Does anyone know why?
On my homepage the word auctioneer was cut from the title so I came here thinking Greg got put in a headlock by a chicken. A chicken auctioneer is a lot less exciting
The stage task required the contestants to outstare each other, while effecting a facial expression of Greg's choosing; one of those expressions was "Chicken auctioneer who looks very angry".
@@gwishart Thank you for the explanation, although i did watch the episode after the uploaded it, I commented this because of two reasons A) i thought it was is a previous episode but they cut out the context and B) I forgot they were going to upload that day either way I appreciate you replying
Release blurays with extras! Give them to meeeeeeee but also please ship them to the USA, I really want a "MaskTaster" mask but shipping is 2x the cost ;_____; MaskTaster Ah fuck it I need it, I hate capitalism, selling me back the joy it stole
This feels a bit like a good WILTY story wasted, but on the other hand, it's also great to see him tell something like this so casually.
There have been a few times I've heard a story on WILTY and knew the answer because I'd heard the person tell it before. So they could still use it.
One of the biggest James Acaster stories in wilty, the cabbage one, was told numerous times, they even covered the multiple parts of the cabbage saga over months, till he finally got his revenge
This wasn't even aired though right? They could very easily use it for WILTY.
Heck, it's possible that they recorded it on WILTY already.
I dont know if they're shooting the next season, but its possible

Greg: "He thought I was ridiculing his craft."
This series: *shoves three hens in a locker, straps a chicken onto a rickety robot*
How big must the auctioneer have been to even consider putting Greg in a headlock, was his name Goliath?
I think he implied he (Greg) was sitting down when it happened.
@@SeventhEve I think Greg could have just stood up then. I’m pretty sure this auctioneer was at least Greg’s size. But that’s just a guess 🤷♂️.
@@SeventhEve If he's big enough for _Greg_ to call him a big bloke, then hes probably taller than Greg.
No, his name is Big Bloke.
If Greg says that bloke is big, i can't even imagine how big he is.
"Oh, it's that guy that made fun of my craft.... Little Greg Davies"
Gabby Hayes big.
that's what i thought
Sasquatchian.
Greg: "Is this a good time to ?"
Everyone: "Anytime is a good time"
Alex still checked his watch though.

I'm sure you're not the only one lol, I'd love to hang around filming as well 😁
seeing as they normally have a studio audience that's tough to get tickets for no you're clearly not the only one.
I went to a recording of Mock the Week in the early frankie Boyle days, we were in the studio with all the comedians for about 2 hours it was awesome.

@@biglogan6142 So, "Big Logan"... you say you are big... are you also a chicken auctioneer?
He must have been a giant! I can’t imagine how tall a bloke must be to put Greg Davies in a headlock.
Maybe Greg was sitting
@@leam.9998 I'd still wouldn't have the balls to try it. Though I might be willing to risk firing a traquilizer dart from a hiding spot.
@@leam.9998 If Greg was sitting and put into a headlock, he could just stand up and turn the man into a necklace.
That would help the chicken auctioneer, too, because then he can only be charged as an accessory.
@@BurnEdOutOne , it depends. The neck is very vulnerable on humans. Greg might have tried to stand up and felt that the guy would use his weight to pull down and snap it.

Surprised this never came up on WILTY, but then, Greg seems to have an endless supply of good stories
Everything he says on wilty is true!! Its so great!
Id love to just have a tea and a conversation with Greg and Alex.
Seem like great people.
I want to see the person Greg Davies considers "a big bloke"!
For the love of everything that is holy, please keep these coming!!
Please release all the series unedited! We will watch, we will buy.
the thought that there's even one person in the world that can successfully keep greg in a head lock is terrifying
There’s a lot to unpack here.
I can't imagine anyone even daring to try to get Greg Davies in a headlock. That's risking your life right there. He might come at you like a windmill of bones.
That gives greg’s prompt of a chicken auctioneer in this week’s final task new context
Yeah at the time I wondered where that came from and now it makes so much sense.
As a non Brit watching i had to take a moment to wonder if "chicken auctioneer" was just British slang for something or an actual guy selling chickens.
If he put Greg in a headlock, he might be a chicken auctioneer, but he sure ain't chicken.
A 2 metre tall, 24 stone man thinks the auctioneer was "a big bloke".
Non-Brit here, so my immediate question is why would anyone want to auction away poultry? My next concern is regarding the size of this auctioneer.
Just like cow auctions but with chickens
Farmers auctions
You've had your question answered and as for your concern, he'd be bloody big!! ;-)
@@lwaves gargantuan, I'd imagine.
"Big bloke.."
How big was this guy?
This sheds light on this week's studio task where they asked Daisy to act as a chicken auctioneer who needed to sneeze.... obviously not expecting her to put one finger over her upper lip and have her other hand in the air as if she was dOiNG a NAZI SALuTE. I died.
Definitely has to have been a big bloke to manage to get Greg of all people in a headlock.
a kick to the back of the knee makes anyone short enough!
Between you guys and Richard Osman, my sanity has been saved in these stressful times.
Did you know Richard Osman used to work as a chicken auctioneer?
@@TheLobstersoup He's tall enough. I wonder if ... gasp!
Greg Davies describing someone as a big bloke? Didn't know Shaquille O'Neal became a chicken auctioneer
Please tell me his mum was there cheering him on.
Dame must have been the King of Auctioneers to put Greg in a headlock
Greg must have been put in a headlock by Hagrid.
Power move. Pick the biggest guy and subdue him. That's hilarious:)
Love the randomness
Greg's impression of a chicken auctioneer was more accurate than Daisy's - I think she got confused between chicken auctioneer and Hitler 🤨
How big was the bloke or how young was Greg, I can see baby Greg in a headlock but that is about it
I wonder what on earth prompted him to tell that anecdote.
It was time!
The "Swap the chickens" task, perhaps?
Chickens have appeared in a number of different tasks this series. Similar to how coconuts, rubber ducks, etc. have before.
@@kisbie Yeah that's true. That's probably it then!
Today’s episode mentioned chicken auctions but I can’t remember the context
Story Time with Uncle Greg
That would have been a good one for Would I Lie To You xD
That explains why he chose that for the staring contest.
Never before has a chicken auction passed through my mind
Huge bloke.... huge bloke
It's bizarre how much studio stuff was cut this year in favour of quite long task segments. I'd have thought the opposite was the way to go given this year's restrictions on filming
well this explains the chicken auctioneer bit in the live task during episode 7
I'm now in awe of an eight foot cranky chicken farmer that likes to go for neck wringing. Brings a whole meaning to "battery farmed"... Big Bloke? He must be visible from space. London has the BT tower, the Shard and Greg Davis on his commute to work as the landmarks tourists navigate by. The Japanese tourists are terrified of Greg. So this "bloke" must have been big.
Now we know where the idea for the face Daisy had to put on in the staring contest came from.
When can we see season 12 here in the USA?
‘I got him to do a chicken auction in a pub’ is the real story here.
A chicken-auctioneer who got Greg "14 foot" Davies in a headlock? That man must have had balls of pure depleted uranium the size of spacehoppers.
Any reason why half these videos are blocked in the UK?
I could watch whole episodes of taskmaster here on youtube but now it says it's not available in my country. After season 9 I can't watch whole episodes anymore. Even if i change my location to UK it doesn't work. Does anyone know why?
Really looking forward to tonight's episode 😁
On my homepage the word auctioneer was cut from the title so I came here thinking Greg got put in a headlock by a chicken. A chicken auctioneer is a lot less exciting
Why is season 10 episode 8 unavailable in South Africa? All the other episodes are available.
It was only broadcast yesterday.
Considering the size of Greg, I can only conclude that either Brian Shaw or Hafthor Bjornsson are moonlighting as a chicken auctioneer...
When will episode 8 come out?
It was out yesterday on Channel 4.
Jesus! how big was the Chicken Auctioneer??? Greg is 6,7 ffs!
Greg should tell this story on WILTY
How tall is Greg, again? Is it 6'5"? I know he was probably sitting down, but it's still impressive that someone trapped him in a headlock.
He is 6'8"
All dislikes are chicken auctioneers
What's a chicken auctioneer? Someone who sells chicken at an auction? Whyever would chicken be sold like that?
What led up to this chicken story being told?
The stage task required the contestants to outstare each other, while effecting a facial expression of Greg's choosing; one of those expressions was "Chicken auctioneer who looks very angry".

How big do you have to be to give Greg a headlock.
Love it
