Junior Taskmaster has been an absolute delight - Rose and Mike have a fantastic dynamic, and there have been kids I’ve laughed at as much as actual comics. The one who brought in his brother’s umbilical cord and called it a “15-year-old belly button” was a highlight 😂
Agreed and it was surprising to me that very little has changed between the two shows. In it's own way it's just as funny, Rose doesn't go too easy on the kids and the kids certainly give it back to both her and Mike.
While Richard is quite right in saying that some people panic in quizzes and give an answer that makes no sense, the answer of 1903 for when Queen Elizabeth I was born is not really laughable at all. Elizabeth II's mother was called Elizabeth and she was born in 1900. She was not known as Elizabeth I, of course, she was the Queen consort but she was known as Her Majesty The Queen from 1936-1952. It's completely understandable that someone might be confused about why a queen called Elizabeth who preceded Elizabeth II was not known as Elizabeth I and, under those circumstances, plucking the date of 1900 out of the air showed admirable presence of mind.
Agree - he's of course being diplomatic but it's clear that there are people who go on HoG who have absolutely zero general knowledge, and what's worst, most of them think it's fun to be that poor at basic knowledge
Quality Street is sold as 'chocolate & confectionery', chocolates for short. Mackintosh, who founded QS, was known as the Toffee King when he set up his first confectioners.
Having a toffee without chocolate in a mix of chocolates, reminds me of going to a fish and chip shop in London and not being able to get a Pattie but was able to get egg fried rice. It makes no sense
On House of Games, when Richard announces the round 'Distinctly Average' I crawl under the table- and I'm just watching at home! That is definitely my 'mechanic asking me about my car' moment. There are definitely going to be holes in anyone's comfort blanket when quizzing- especially when they aren't on the programme because they believe themselves to be a quizzing genius.
Judging people for not knowing things is one of the joys of watching a quiz. And if they answer Paris when asked the name of a country starting with a vowel, so much the better.
Junior Taskmaster feels more competetitive than normal Taskmaster. They want to be in the next show and therefore have to be in the Top2. As always the editing team is awesome. Mike's job as the assistant is more difficult because he has to feel when the kids can carry themselves and when he has to add something to keep the flow during the tasks. Rose is amazing, great balance and relation with the kids. The kids are also a delight. Some are helping each other, others keep poking to expose questionable decisions(Is a green thing something that starts with g?), the prizes are funny and the kids natural, not over the top, but still quick-witted. I also like that the tasks are simpler. Normal taskmaster tasks got more and more uselessly complicated to avoid repetition. But Junior Taskmaster and the international versions show, that there are still a lot of unused twists.
Yeah, I find it a lot more competitive as well. Get the lowest points in an episode of the adult show and Greg teases you. Get the lowest or middle of the pack on one episode in the kids' show and you're knocked off the show immediately. The chat and back and forth might be a little bit gentler but that's partly to make up for how much more cutthroat the format is.
Before stricter rules on sampling, hip hop/rap artists could get away with a lot more. A prime example is the Beastie Boys album Pauls Boutique. Contrary to popular belief most of the samples were cleared, but at much lower costs than todays rates. Misunderstood at the time because people expected the frat boy stylings of their debut Licensed To Ill. It's been described as the 'Sergeant Pepper of hip hop and the 12 minute closing track B- Boy Bouillabaisse actually samples the Beatles, imagine the cost of jusf that one sample nowadays. My favourite answer on Family Fortunes ever- Q- Name a bird with a long neck. A- Naomi Campbell😂
Good answer regarding the quiz questions, you can't judge someone for not knowing something or having the occasional brain fart, especially under pressure
Recently had a Christmas cocktail night where I work. Had little pegs to attach quality street to the glasses. We pegged the toffee pennies to the glasses of customers we didn't like. I rest my case. #teamsoftcentres
Criminal to not mention Cumberbatch for worst American accents. As an American, I have absolutely heard people who speak like Benoit Blanc, but none like Dr Strange
@@halanhart Yeah, for us, it seems ok. It’s the same when an American does a British accent, which is an English accent, not a “British” accent. Well, it’s a British accent in the way it’s also a European accent. It’s one of the four main, national accents of the countries in the UK. I always thought his accent was passable. For an American production though, you’d think they’d tell him to do better. I understand a US TV show having someone do a bad English accent (I think a show called Castle had someone doing Newcastle, or a geordie accent as it’s called, and he was speaking in tongues as that’s what you guys apparently think they sound like!!!!!), because nobody outside of the US is likely to see it, so nobody would complain. Likewise, Doctor Who has many TERRIBLE American accents in it! Truly awful. Again though, this was a show that didn’t go far outside the UK for some time. For the new series on Disney+, they’ll have to hire actual Americans for those roles. I think accents are like jobs in TV shows. Whatever job is being done, it will only be wrong to the people who do that job in real life. For everyone else, it’d be fine. Anyway, I’m going to go and watch Doctor Strange now to see if Cumberbatch’s accent is bad now that you’ve said this. See if I notice it! Before I go, I’d recommend watching the Terminator film that Emelia Clarke is in - her American accent is bad even for a non-American like me - she sounds Australian in parts! It’s rather amusing! Give it a go for a laugh!!
I have ended up on a quiz team because one of my friends has found out what an amazing quizzer my other half is. I'm ok at quizzes but not amazing. I understand why my husband enjoys them but I don't get why people who aren't good at quizzes find them fun. I get frustrated and grumpy when I don't know the answer so I find it hard to see what people who only know a few answers are getting out of the experience. I wish I was more like them...
Almost everyone else treats quizzes as play. And then the ones who take them way too seriously ruins the fun and the vibes for everyone, and think it’s life or death, when in reality the only things at stake is a round of drinks
I imagine it's probably down to being part of a group having fun, which totallybored touches on. I've been in a few pub quizzes and most treat them as a laugh, as the above says, it's the ones who take it very seriously that ruin it. I'd think of it like being a non-drinker in a pub with a group of alcohol drinkers. You are there for the conversation and fun, not the alcohol.
I get the logic because I'm also not that good at board games but if no one is taking it that seriously I can still have a good time playing one. At least with board games everyone gets a turn. At a quiz if you don't know the answer or can't think of a guess then you don't really get to join in.
I remember Rachel Riley getting some question about distance horribly wrong on House of Games. That was funny to me, because she had like couple of extra zeroes, but then again, physicists don't usually work with such small numbers, so I guess it's fine.
I did enjoy Richard's little misspeak when he almost invented the Taj MaHilton hotel. (and my own guess for when it was built wasn't too bad, I got a lot closer than Richard's guess).
Whatever you think of fruit creams, you have to admit they are far better than any coffee flavoured chocolates (chocolate coated coffee beans are exempt in this argument)
It's funny that they suggest the junior TM is less competitive, because the format itself is way more competitive than the adult one, and that's a common point of discussion among people watching it. The points actually _matter_ for the kids. They determine who is gone after one episode vs who is coming back. For the adults the points are meaningless, plus they're there for a whole series so they can win one episode and lose another. The points are far higher stakes for the kids. Perhaps they just mean that Rose doesn't put them down as harshly when she gives one point.... but she still gives a kid one point every time and it's much more consequential.
I asked my 9 year old which is his favourite Quality Street. He said the toffee penny because its chewy. My other son's favourite is the coconut éclair followed by the fruit creams. They can carry on; I'll be left with the nice ones!
22:47 No access to House of Games where I live, so I don't have the context nor contestant. If the candidate thought "well, we just had Elizabeth the second, and her mum was also an Elizabeth so she must have been the first..." then 1903 would only be 3 years of her year of birth.
No Richard is absolutely right, if you're not interested in history and kings and queens you just dont hear the question and fumble an answer out 😂 Also, the Questions/Rounds/methods of answering on house of games are real headspinners and there's always something that suits your brain really well. This particular round is just guess the year and closest wins.
You have to have been the actual monarch to get a regnal number.There have been several kings married to people called Elizabeth, including queen Elizabeth the second’s mother but they don’t get a number. They are usually referred to as ‘queen’ though, which is a bit confusing as a female monarch such as Victoria or Elizabeth 2 call their husbands ‘prince’. I think it was to stop people deferring to a king. Queen Elizabeth the first was born in 1533. Queen Elizabeth the second was born in 1926.
Oh Richard..... Richard , Richard, Richard , Richard ......... We all know that Marina is bang on! 100% correct yet again. Seriously Mate , its her fabulous magic super power. Perfect AND Correct. ❤
Richard states that Madonna and Abba "famously saying no to almost everything" (re: sampling) yet fails to mention that Madonna sought out "so nicely" and received permission from Abba to sample "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for her 2005 song "Hung Up".
I thought of that too. There was also a dance track by The Tamperer in the 90s which sampled Madonna's 'Material Girl', and another one around the same time that sampled the orchestral intro to 'Papa Don't Preach'.
Really the answer to best and worst of Brits doing American accents is "we're both British so aren't in any position to judge". Yeah, we can pick up on notably bad ones, but only natives can really judge the better ones.
It's not like nobody have every discussed various accents besides Richard and Marina. Of course they can talk about these things, every actor they mentioned has been discussed and been praised or ridiculed for their accents by a number of sources, both Amercian, British or elsewhere across the globe. The people making House M.D. have themselves done interviews talking about wathcing Hugh Lauries audition tapes and not picking up him being British, and believing he' was an Amercian actor just perfect for the role, so of course that is a good example of someone nailing an American accent.
loved the fruit quality streets as a child but they now taste overwhelmingly sweet. I now love the caramel and toffees, which used to be my least favourite.
I love taskmaster, but I really haven't got into taskmaster kids. The kids just come across as the biggest stage school brats possible, I can see why they use comedians for the main show
The point of the show, for me at least, is finding out what people I know (not personally obviously) in certain situations. Of course, there are sometimes people in it who I don’t know, but them being comedians is what then makes up for that. They’re funny. Just having randoms on it, kids or adults, just doesn’t work for me.
I personally have really been enjoying Junior Taskmaster. I was skeptical initially but once I started watching I liked most of the kids (and most reminded me in one way or another of kids I've personally known, especially as a camp counselor or sports coach). No show is for everyone though :). But personally I've become a fan.
Re.: Knives Out 2: Glass Onion. The viewer is informed that Andi has a twin sister in minute 71, which is approximately halfway through the film, not "right towards the end", so it's unclear how that could be "unforgiveable", especially since it's an integral part of the plot. The delight is in the doubling.
I admire Richard's commitment to a diplomatic answer, but there's consistently celebs on HoG, people who are used to a camera & studio environment, who make you despair for general knowledge, and I don't think it's anything to do with recall in a quiz environment. It's that there is literally not the basic knowledge there to recall in the first place!
I believe one of the characters in the film refers to the accent in the same way. That made me wonder if there was a reason for that particular accent. (It’s a great film, would recommend the ending if you could bypass the accent.)
I just bought a box of quality street for the first time in many years. OMG what’s happened to the wrapping? It all used to be very shiny and tinsley and Christmassy, but now it’s just like a dull Wednesday afternoon, in the rain, in a field. Dull dull dull! And the green triangle is reduced in size as are many of the others. Very disappointing
On Junior Taskmaster, I watched episode 1. Probably a show just made for kids. Then again I think kids like watching shows for adults, that’s why they have the censored version.
@@GrahamA63They aren't actually actors - the auditions were through a website and many were just recommended by a school teacher. They're just extraverted kids who like to show off a bit and are being encouraged to do so.
when he talks about house of games and fun i always think about the James Acaster disaster. It was not his fault, but another contestant. But he also didn't step in. It became uncomfortable to watch so it must have been noticed in the studio.
They're both generally good actors, but David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston both routinely do quite bad American accents. but having an iffy accent doesn't necessarily itself equate to or lessen a good performance. I mean Peter Dinklage was all over the place with his British accent for a decade on Game Of Thrones and its one of the greatest performances of all time
I must repeat - WORST American doing a British accent example is Al Pacino in The Local Stigmatic by D Wheeler 1990. Bittersweet Symphony made lots of £ for Allen Klein... The Stones returned a large amount to Ashcroft
Took out the strawberry and orange cremes and left them bagged up in cleat plastic on our local help yourself wall Someone did take them eventually but took a couple of days They are disgusting
Daniel Craig's attempt at an american accent in Tomb Raider was pretty dire as well. Ive a theory they made him do a hammy accent to take the attention off of Jolies british accent, which I didnt find all too offensive tbh
While you can cover someone elses song without permission, you need to seek a mechanical license from the MCPS to reproduce that song for commercial gain i.e. releasing a vinyl cover of a track. You can however give it away for free.
To be fair Idris could be in both the best and worst categories. The Wire was good, Pacific Rim (and plenty of others) is terrible. The most important thing in accents (for me) is consistency. If it's not amazing but it's VERY consistent then it's less annoying than someone doing a great job most of the time but having 2 random scenes where they're messing up.
I’m traumatised over the excess of curly wurlys and chomps in my advent calendar. It’s the advent that looks like Canary Wharf. Buyer beware. Following on from that, obviously too many toffees in Quality Street. I thought the world had moved on to Heroes and Celebration
My mother didn't realise Hugh Laurie was British (I grew up in the US but have been in the UK for 36 years). In the Doctor Who Episode Daleks in New York, the American accents were utterly awful.
Orange Crem and Strawbery crem are grim, non of my family or extended family of 20 plus touches them or any of my friends or family friends, we can never give them away. Edit: I also I remember all throughout school and 6th form, whenever sweets or chocolate were given out, not one person liked them, maybe one or two but they pretended not to so they fit in with the rest, even most of the teachers, I had a food and nutrition teacher who wasnt picky about everything, for gcse she had to eat a bit of our 3 meals we made and one girl provided something our teacher told us class swots in private, tasted and looked like baby food and she still tried eat and ate that, but she wouldnt go near them chocolate crem things
@@deadlymelody27 I wish I could!!! We have them in out cuboards till feburary asking anyone that comes if they want them till its just waste product. Some years we refuse to buy Roses or Quality Street because of them crem because they just go to waste and we dont like food waste.
Why should we "trust you", it's not like everything a song/album makes goes back to the artists themselves. Management, record company, PR and a ton of other people involved in making, printing, distributing and selling music get their cut. And in many many cases the people at the top get the large portion of the income while the individual artist is left it surprisinglig little - especially if we are talking about new artists who notoriously gets screwed when writing their first contracts. It's a reason people like Taylor Swift went out of their way to rerecord all their previous albums and by that getting control over their own master tapes. This compared to live concerts and big tours, where the money is still spilt by plenty of people (crew, venues, PR etc), but at least lets the artists keep a lot more % of the actual revenue.
I think West's accent in the Wire goes in and out - there are points where it's OK but some other parts which are clearly pretty terrible. Still the best TV drama of all time though.
It's surprising that Richard has been around the television industry for so long but isn't aware enough of the camera to avoid blocking his face by waving his hand around.
When I first watched the series version of Fargo, I clamped my ears shut thinking Martin Freeman’s American accent was unbearably awful. I then visited Minnesota and, humbly, now realise it was supreme. Idris…sorry…never bought it. Never. Hugh Laurie was dodgy in season one of House, too.
Daniel Craig sounds like he’s impersonating Kevin Spacey from House of Cards. For me, the Brit doing the worst American accent is Ewan McGregor. So so many films I don’t know how he gets away with it.
Junior Taskmaster has been an absolute delight - Rose and Mike have a fantastic dynamic, and there have been kids I’ve laughed at as much as actual comics. The one who brought in his brother’s umbilical cord and called it a “15-year-old belly button” was a highlight 😂

It's a common phrase in the UK too so I think it's totally intentional 😆
I love taskmaster, but I really haven't got into taskmaster kids.
The kids just come across as the biggest stage school brats possible, I can see why they use comedians for the main show
Yes!!!
The point of the show, for me at least, is finding out what people I know (not personally obviously) in certain situations.
Of course, there are sometimes people in it who I don’t know, but them being comedians is what then makes up for that. They’re funny.
Just having randoms on it, kids or adults, just doesn’t work for me.
@@chrisknight2631For me I keep finding that by halfway through the episode they no longer seem like random kids.
I personally have really been enjoying Junior Taskmaster. I was skeptical initially but once I started watching I liked most of the kids (and most reminded me in one way or another of kids I've personally known, especially as a camp counselor or sports coach). No show is for everyone though :). But personally I've become a fan.
Plenty of bratishness on the adult version too. Of course they have to act it up a bit, otherwise it would be a tad dull...
Hi. I was wondering if anonymous gossip about the Chuckle Brothers would be posted on DeuxMoi DeuxToi? Thanks. Love the show etc.
Re.: Knives Out 2: Glass Onion. The viewer is informed that Andi has a twin sister in minute 71, which is approximately halfway through the film, not "right towards the end", so it's unclear how that could be "unforgiveable", especially since it's an integral part of the plot. The delight is in the doubling.
American here: Benedict Cumberbatch's American accent is pretty bad, especially in the MCU movies.
I'm with Richard all the way on the fruit creams; delicious. Hard to find these days but I love a coffee cream too .
I miss the coffee creams too
Orange creams are my favourite
I admire Richard's commitment to a diplomatic answer, but there's consistently celebs on HoG, people who are used to a camera & studio environment, who make you despair for general knowledge, and I don't think it's anything to do with recall in a quiz environment. It's that there is literally not the basic knowledge there to recall in the first place!
Daniel Craig's Foghorn Leghorn impression is the reason I couldn't finish Knives Out.
I believe one of the characters in the film refers to the accent in the same way. That made me wonder if there was a reason for that particular accent. (It’s a great film, would recommend the ending if you could bypass the accent.)
I just bought a box of quality street for the first time in many years. OMG what’s happened to the wrapping? It all used to be very shiny and tinsley and Christmassy, but now it’s just like a dull Wednesday afternoon, in the rain, in a field. Dull dull dull! And the green triangle is reduced in size as are many of the others. Very disappointing
It's been like that for a few years now with the wrappers.. & the size is due to shrinkflation!
yes. wheres all the coffee creams gone?
On Junior Taskmaster, I watched episode 1. Probably a show just made for kids.
Then again I think kids like watching shows for adults, that’s why they have the censored version.
It was awful - the kids were clearly little actors - we gave up well before the end.
@@GrahamA63The kids auditioned through a website. According to Alex Horne, a lot were referred by their teachers because they were a class clown.
@@GrahamA63They aren't actually actors - the auditions were through a website and many were just recommended by a school teacher. They're just extraverted kids who like to show off a bit and are being encouraged to do so.
@@GrahamA63
And the contestants on the main show are just bigger actors!
when he talks about house of games and fun i always think about the James Acaster disaster. It was not his fault, but another contestant. But he also didn't step in.
It became uncomfortable to watch so it must have been noticed in the studio.
Careful with the episode title and thumbnail: There wasn't insight into Junior Taskmaster, but other children's competition shows.
Yeah, neither of them was actually involved with Junior Taskmaster.
I’m with Richard on this one. All chocolates are nice.
They're both generally good actors, but David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston both routinely do quite bad American accents. but having an iffy accent doesn't necessarily itself equate to or lessen a good performance. I mean Peter Dinklage was all over the place with his British accent for a decade on Game Of Thrones and its one of the greatest performances of all time
I must repeat - WORST American doing a British accent example is Al Pacino in The Local Stigmatic by D Wheeler 1990. Bittersweet Symphony made lots of £ for Allen Klein... The Stones returned a large amount to Ashcroft
Took out the strawberry and orange cremes and left them bagged up in cleat plastic on our local help yourself wall
Someone did take them eventually but took a couple of days
They are disgusting
THERE'S A THIRD KNIVES OUT COMING? That's all I got from this podcast 🤷♂️
I love Quality Street, but like others I have my favourites. Crime of the century is the demise of Cadbury’s Roses. They are now an abomination. 😩
Daniel Craig's attempt at an american accent in Tomb Raider was pretty dire as well. Ive a theory they made him do a hammy accent to take the attention off of Jolies british accent, which I didnt find all too offensive tbh
While you can cover someone elses song without permission, you need to seek a mechanical license from the MCPS to reproduce that song for commercial gain i.e. releasing a vinyl cover of a track. You can however give it away for free.
To be fair Idris could be in both the best and worst categories. The Wire was good, Pacific Rim (and plenty of others) is terrible.
The most important thing in accents (for me) is consistency. If it's not amazing but it's VERY consistent then it's less annoying than someone doing a great job most of the time but having 2 random scenes where they're messing up.
What about Idris? 16:26
Isn’t it time they switched seats so Richard’s right hand isn’t constantly obscuring his face? 😅
What about Damian Lewis in Band of Brother?
I’m traumatised over the excess of curly wurlys and chomps in my advent calendar. It’s the advent that looks like Canary Wharf. Buyer beware. Following on from that, obviously too many toffees in Quality Street. I thought the world had moved on to Heroes and Celebration
ngl, "In happier news" and "Jeff Bezos" being in the same sentence was a fucking head spin jesus h christ, I hope that was sarcasm.
My mother didn't realise Hugh Laurie was British (I grew up in the US but have been in the UK for 36 years). In the Doctor Who Episode Daleks in New York, the American accents were utterly awful.
Orange Crem and Strawbery crem are grim, non of my family or extended family of 20 plus touches them or any of my friends or family friends, we can never give them away.
Edit: I also I remember all throughout school and 6th form, whenever sweets or chocolate were given out, not one person liked them, maybe one or two but they pretended not to so they fit in with the rest, even most of the teachers, I had a food and nutrition teacher who wasnt picky about everything, for gcse she had to eat a bit of our 3 meals we made and one girl provided something our teacher told us class swots in private, tasted and looked like baby food and she still tried eat and ate that, but she wouldnt go near them chocolate crem things
Give them to me! They were always first gone in our house 😂
@@deadlymelody27 I wish I could!!! We have them in out cuboards till feburary asking anyone that comes if they want them till its just waste product.
Some years we refuse to buy Roses or Quality Street because of them crem because they just go to waste and we dont like food waste.
I just asked Google's AI Gemini to write a plot for a satirical Disc World novel involving Elon and Donald.
It refused. Point blank.
WEIRD ?
Bless his heart but Hugh Laurie merely dropped the british inflection. Craig stuck his neck out and I felt it was pretty accurate.
So what inflection did he have?
And yet Artists are always bleating that they make no money, except from live concerts. Trust me, they make tonnes.
Why should we "trust you", it's not like everything a song/album makes goes back to the artists themselves. Management, record company, PR and a ton of other people involved in making, printing, distributing and selling music get their cut. And in many many cases the people at the top get the large portion of the income while the individual artist is left it surprisinglig little - especially if we are talking about new artists who notoriously gets screwed when writing their first contracts. It's a reason people like Taylor Swift went out of their way to rerecord all their previous albums and by that getting control over their own master tapes.
This compared to live concerts and big tours, where the money is still spilt by plenty of people (crew, venues, PR etc), but at least lets the artists keep a lot more % of the actual revenue.
@@axels9179 Ha, quoting billionaire Swift is not your smartest move.
Sampling is where the money is.
Strawberry creams are evil....toffee pennies are delightful 😂
this is not about jr taskmaster except for a few moment
gee, richard is so square, and absolutely everything is just brilliant and the total magic best.... yawn
Please sit Richard, his hand and the camera in not such a straight line. We can't see his handsome face.
I think West's accent in the Wire goes in and out - there are points where it's OK but some other parts which are clearly pretty terrible.
Still the best TV drama of all time though.
It's surprising that Richard has been around the television industry for so long but isn't aware enough of the camera to avoid blocking his face by waving his hand around.
It’s so annoying
It’s a podcast, chill
@@TrueDemonLordRimuruTempest don’t video it then
Marina, what's the deal with the Knives Out franchise? I feel like I've missed something.
When I first watched the series version of Fargo, I clamped my ears shut thinking Martin Freeman’s American accent was unbearably awful. I then visited Minnesota and, humbly, now realise it was supreme.
Idris…sorry…never bought it. Never. Hugh Laurie was dodgy in season one of House, too.
Hell yes to Daniel Craig's accent.
Seeing the evidence about David Jason on Tattle blew my mind. It’ll all come out one day. 4:27
100% with Marina on this... Strawberry Creams are an awful slight on the world of boxed confectionery.
They are a bit too sweet for me
I'm with Richard! Strawberry creams are my fav!
Yea agree completely with Daniel Craig terrible American accent!!!
Quality Street is the undefeated king of Christmas sweets
Daniel Craig sounds like he’s impersonating Kevin Spacey from House of Cards. For me, the Brit doing the worst American accent is Ewan McGregor. So so many films I don’t know how he gets away with it.
Love Hugh but come now
What about Tom hardy in venom for worst American accent? It’s all I could think about throughout the film
I really didn't like Child Genius. Just something felt really wrong about it. Maybe because my kids wouldn't have got on in a million years
I have been led to believe that watching you by the Police is the most sampled track ever.
Yes the fruit cremes taste artificial and don't fit in with the rest of the "premium" feel of Quality Street.
