Who counted the pellets?! Obviously josh widdicombe
🤣🤣
Ha! I really wish they’d done that!
Greg James should have left everything on the table until just near the end and shouted "Greg says put everything in your bumbag." It'd have short-circuited everything. BTW, according to Greg James on the Taskmaster Podcast, there was inventory on the back of the coats (which nobody took heed of) which told them where to put everything.
I absolutely fell in love with Sir Mo Farah when I was watching this. He is just adorable!
Normally I find very smiley and cheery people annoying because I'm a miserable git, but mo is just such a pleasure to watch. Seems like a lovely person to be around
He always comes across as someone who enjoys life. I imagine he was very popular at school.
Mo is the happiest contestant ever.
This was a great NYT episode, loved the cast and they would've done really well in a full series.
I'd want to see Richard Ayoade on Taskmaster. He'd either succeed hilariously or fail hilariously. Either way it's a win
Richard and David Mitchell are some I really want to see. I feel they'd make for some very entertaining television but I doubt they'd subject themselves to taskmaster, especially Richard, he's a very busy man and not too likely to step so far outside his bubble, but I'll hold out hope
@@SomeGuy-mt4hq it’s incredibly well paid considering you only do it for about 3 weeks. From what I understand they reach out to higher profile people and say should you ever like to do it please let us know and as for the lesser known they have to wait to be invited.
Richard Ayoade is the one I most want to see. I'd also love to see Rowan Atkinson, and as I've said before Sandy Toksvig, Stephen Fry and Hugh Grant. Maisie Adam would be fabulous too.
funny you say that, i said the same thing to a mate earlier today. kevin bridges and jason manford would be a good laugh too
@@SomeGuy-mt4hq David's wife (Victoria) has stated that he will never do it. His reasoning is... "people think I'm a swot so if I do it well I'll get stick for being a swot, if I do bad, I'll get stick for not being the swot they think I am"
This was a good , all of them had obviously known what they were signing up for and it was a lot of fun . Loved Greggs quip about Rachael Riley and a calculator , the tasks were clever and they all gave them a good go . Sir Mo and the massager was hilarious . I'd be happy to see any of them in a full series - this year's was a real treat .
We had a gameshow called The Cube. There were seven stages of skill and mind based games, each stage you passed, your prize money increased. In its entire history only eight people reached the final stage, and all but one decided not to attempt stage seven and walk away with their £100,000 prize money instead of risk losing it. That one person was Mo Farah who successfully beat the stage and won the £250,000 Jackpot for charity.
Wow
I think you just called Mo Farah Mo Salah.
Both are amazing though
@@stingersplash, true.
Greg James hosts the biggest radio breakfast show of the country on BBC radio 1 and Amelia became famous by awkwardly (but hilariously) interviewing rappers in chicken shops (the fly coffin becomes less surprising when you know her)
Yes I assumed Greg James was a DJ from the prize he brought in which was something presented to him when he started at BBC Radio 1.
I think this is the New Year's Treat cast I've liked best as a whole. I've had favorites in other seasons, but this group, I could have watched a whole season with them, and i think they'd have been as funny as any of the comedian seasons.
You know who I would love to see as a new year's treat contestant. Brian Blessed.
You and me both!
Wouldn't that be fun!
He does adverts for Flash nowadays. He just can't get away from that film lol.
@@stingersplash No, Brian Blessed does not do the Flash Advert. The Flash Advert was voiced by actor and theatre director, Brian Protheroe. There's a lot of people doing BB impressions for adverts these days...
This is the first special cast I've wanted to see as a whole series
Amelia has a popular UA-cam show that she created and has been working on for a few years now.
Chicken Shop Date is the name.
She interviews celebrities (mostly UK rappers but has branched out to other celebs also). The interview is in a ‘date’ format where she sits with the guest in a chicken shop and eats cheap takeout food.
She has an intentionally awkward persona and stays in character the whole time. Very deadpan comedy. It’s brilliant and gets the best out of the guests because it makes the interview interesting
Such a shame we only get one episode with her (I guess the others too but especially her). I think she would benefit so much from having more time for people to get her personality
Yeah not my type of thing but she seems funny.
I wonder if she and Joe Thomas have been in the same room together; it would be a critical mass of awkwardness.
@@sfshinz he would collapse under the social pressure of her flirting 😂
I would pay good money to see you react to the older UK series, and watch them with your reactions
I think Neil has seen them all, pre-reactions.
@@PHDarren Yes, he said so at the start of this video...hence my comment
In a podcast, I heard Rhod Gilbert say they don’t really take the prizes home.
With his beard, Sir Mo Farah looked a bit like Megamind when he had the swimming cap on 😂
Please watch and react to the new Kongen Befaler whenever it airs. Reason: Atle stepped down as the taskmaster due to a racist incident, and the new taskmaster is Bård Ylvisåker from the first season. A first change of taskmaster ever? Quite sure it must be the first previous contestant to become taskmaster. And Norway has imo the best non-UK version.
Ozmartian has the whole episode on his channel in full screen. Just in case anyone is interested.
shhh... don't tip off the copyright police.......
Fun Fact: Greg James (He's the morning host on BBC1) stated on the Taskmaster podcast that he and John Kearns were roommates in University.
Dream taskmaster contestants. I want Hannah Waddington to be on taskmaster - she'd be hilarious. Although a Ted Lasso Taskmaster special would be my dream. In particular Cristo Fernández has Mo Farah energy and I reckon Kola Bokinni and Phil Dunster would be hilarious. Also I'd pay good money to see an Anthony Head taskmaster - I think he'd be quite Hugh Dennis in his approach and humour.
Gyles would spend all his tasks telling Alex about how he knew someone who's vaguely connected with the task 😁
Neil, check out Sir Mo Farah’s story on BBC news UA-cam Channel about being trafficked.
I don't Alex said that the winner takes home all 5 prizes in this episode.
I quite like that they are a bit more lenient in this format. When they've invested months of time filming in the main series you feel like the rules should be followed more closely but it doesn't feel important in a fun 1-off episode.
They don’t give up their prize task prizes. Victoria Coren-Mitchell entered the same thing twice (the toy she made) even though she’d “lost” it the first time around.
I would love to see a rewatch from series 1. roisin, romesh, tim, frank and josh🥰the chaos of the melon buffet gang🤣
In the UK, Mo is a national treasure. He's got loads of olympic medals, achieved loads in his life, got a cloathing brand, food enorsement deals, and he's won another big TV contest show called The Cube. I knew he'd win from the start :D
Mo was on (and completed) an episode of a game show called The Cube.. He does everything with a smile but has that winners attitude in life, not just athletics..
Isnt he the only British person to complete the Cube, true Olympian
@@more-reasons6655 I think so yes. I know not many even make it to the final round. But he's the only one I remember completing it (never watched it regularly so wouldn't know 100% if he's the only one or not)
In the canon of the show the winner definitely takes the prizes home, but in practice they usually don't.
For a special I think they were allowing a bit of hip or knee bending as long as they were trying to not bend the knee or hip and were keeping it straight after, it's when they stop doing it and have to be told (example, David Baddiel and a hand on the hip at all times task)
Maybe I misheard but I thought they were only banned from bending at the waist (which Mo did a lot). Other joints were fine.
The official name for the head massager is called "Orgasmatron" (it has its own Wikipedia page), but it is also findable as a "head massaging whisk".
I can highly recommend it, being touched on the head with a slight pressure on several points of your head is overly stimulating, which is how the device got its name.
I would love to see a reaction of you using that on your own head, although it does feel better when somebody else uses it on you.
I have all episodes of Taskmaster. Even the live show where a couple of the TV channel execs and producers play. I can easily put the on a file share for you
Pretty sure no-one "wins" any of the prize tasks... forgetting the van there have been birth certificates, ashes.... No, I don't think Mo Got Carols £200k van! Maybe when the show first started it was a thing, but I'm sure at a certain value point they must have stepped in and said "Erm... no". Now... from a viewer point of view "Make the best thing you can as a prize for round 1 for the value of £X"... would make it much more interesting. Especially if round 6 was "Destroy the other prizes in front of their creator". Making a gift as a prize is a good idea though - it stops buying 5 points, and we KNOW certain "prizes" are just going straight back to the owners. It would make the prize winning more personal.
As much as I loved Mo in this episode, I definitely think he shouldn't have won this episode. I don't get what's so surprising about him owning a hair dryer. They can be used for more than just drying hair, and even then, he has a wife, who might be the actual owner of the hair dryer. Plus, he definitely bent his knees and waist a lot during the pellet task. I was definitely looking forward to your reaction to his breaking of the rules there, and Greg's over-generosity.
Even so, it was a very fun episode and I always like seeing you enjoy Taskmaster!
Thank you for teaching me who Mo Salah was, by the way!
I’ve no idea who Amelia is either 🤷🏽♀️
Mo Farah has done other celebrity appearances and always has a good laugh with whatever it is. He just seems very likeable.
Amazing personal story too, even before the athletics. He was "trafficked" into the UK illegally under the name of another child, brought to the UK with a woman and her children under the name of another boy called Mohamed Farah. Sir Mo said "the truth is I'm not who you think I am", as he spoke of the traumatic events of his childhood after leaving war-torn Somaliland in east Africa... see his documentary The Real Mo Farah from a few months back.
Carol is a very wealthy lady, so giving up that van would not be so much of a loss for her.
Greg said he had the picture done specially for him when he joined radio 1, could he be a DJ perhaps?
Greg James is a radio 1 DJ and has done a lot of brilliant things on the show like staying in an escape room whilst listeners help try and solve the clues to get him out and similarly stuck inside a caravan whilst travelling to different parts of the country and again listeners help to get him out
Really hoping that for Kiell in the next series you check out a clip (or a full episode) of BBC Ghosts.
It features him, Charlotte Ritchie, Lolly Adefope, Katy Wix, and in later series Jessica Knappet and Bridget Christie. That's a lot of Taskmaster Alums in one show.
There's a surprising lack of Ghosts reactions out there; it might be a fun one to pick up at some point.
“I’m wondering if Carol is offering up her va…” sorry mind went somewhere else there! 62 and still a fox
They don’t actually give away the prizes it’s more of a comedy idea type thing. If you can remember series 2 or 3 Al Murray put up his cooker which clearly ain’t gonna happen.
Greg James is a radio presenter on BBC Radio One. Amelia Dimoldenberg has a UA-cam channel where she interviews celebrities.
I know Ed Sheeran has been on UK comedy shows in the past (Nevermind the Buzzcocks, and maybe one other). And Daniel Radcliffe has been on QI. Would love to see people like them on future New Years Treat episodes.
Amelia is a youtuber/presenter who has the 2nd most popular chicken-based interview show on UA-cam. You know Carol. Greg is a radio presenter. You know Mo. And Rebecca, mostly known as Self Esteem is a musician.
The fact there is more than one chicken based interview show is troubling.
@@stingersplash Come on. One is Spicy Chicken from wings, and the other is normal Fried chicken! Big difference!
I wish they had Mo on a full series instead, he was great. I know they tend to get comedians for those, but it's not 100% true, they have had actors like Charlotte Richie
And presenters/producers like Richard Osman. Plus quite a few DJs (who I guess are presenters really)
Am I the only person disproportionately irritated by the fact that 'maths genius' Carole Vorderman came up with an odd number for the total number of dots? Did she not think that there was the same number of dots on each side? I know this is a very, very minor - indeed totally unimportant - point, but it has been bugging me like hell ever since I first watched the programme!
I noticed it and then I moved on
I'm just adequately irritated by it. Yes it is the first thing to assume, but the next thing to assume would be Alex to subvert the expectation and add some tiny dot on one side. So I'd give it a 50:50 chance.
The two sides don't even have to look similar at all for the task to work (although I believe they did).
Perhaps she wanted to improve her odds of victory by splitting the difference between two possible answers?
you would probably get an average weight of the pellet and weigh the bowl at the end. no need to count them all each time :P
We all know what we thought Mo was going to shout, don't we. Yes you do, liars. ;)
Awesome reaction, as usual! Neil, where do you get such awesome t-shirts? Like, seriously! Your geek shirts are great. Anyone knows where can I find this particular one?
There's a reason that head massager is marketed as The Orgasmatron - that's all I'm saying.
According to the Taskmaster reddit page (which is quite interesting as it often has former contestants posting on it), the prizes are actually won by the winner. The original owner of the prize can ask for it back if it was something particularly precious to them for some reason, but the winner is not obliged to give it up (if they really want to be a prick).
Consider some of the prizes though, Josh Widdicomb gave up a blank cheque! Reportedly Frank Skinner did actually withdraw £19000 but returned it to Josh afterwards. Joe Wilkinson lost his marriage certificate, and if I remember correctly, Romesh lost his wedding ring? To name but a few. There is a story of an unnamed contestant destroying the prizes they won to the ire of their fellow contestants.
Yes, this is known. And Romesh's ring was returned.
Didn't Josh (I think it was) also offer a place in his house for someone to "live" there with him? Like a key/free access, so long as they were in by 10pm or something
@Frank Shailes yes, that's true. I feel like it was someone like Hugh Dennis? or Rhod Ghilbert maybe? but there have been some prizes given that seem difficult or inconvenient to live up to, that's for sure.
Only time I have ever seen Greg James was on WILTY. It was memorable because he was on David's team on the eoisode that had Victoria also on David's team. Lee kept on hammering the fact that it looked a family with a young wife and a stepson. To this day I still can't remember Greg's claim to fame because of the shenaigans that persued.
Greg is a radio presenter.
Frankie boyle is going to be on season 15
I really enjoyed this one. I think some people in the UK get too caught up in how recognisable the contestants are/aren't that they are not willing to give these specials a chance.
The head massager is called an "Orgasmatron", that should tell you something about the feel it gives off :)
A few decades ago I worked in a store that sold those and the reactions of the people on Taskmaster are pretty much dead on to how people really reacted to it - I never saw anyone not love it and many people made some very sus sounds when trying it out.
I'm not sure Carol Vorderman's Van is the biggest prize ever offered because I'm sure Josh Widdecombe once put his house up as a prize.
Didn't Mark Watson put up a wall that cost him a lot?
@@stingersplash Watson put in a garden gate that cost him £18,000 because he had to sign up to a residents association to get it installed
A Christmas Treat was Greg in The Cleaner.
"Our fanny is different to your fanny" It most certainly is
They broke the NYT rules a little. Amelia is definitely a comedian, although a bit untraditional in that I don't think she's ever done stand up.
Yes I view her as a UA-cam comedian same as Munya and he obviously got to be in the main series
I knew immediately that answering the phone was going to give the right answer.
carrol dont need no phone clues, and she knew that she dont :P
I'd like to think I speak for the majority of viewers when I say nobody in the UK wants to see Bono on the show!
Or Gyles Brandreth.
Greg and Carol both have fabulous would i lie to you episodes that help dive more into their wacky characters.
A pity about UA-cam copyright but if you want to know them better recommend watching those. Perhaps record the reaction incase one day UA-cam eases off on the copyright. But regardless worth watching for yourself
Nice group this year and some excellent tasks :). Merry new year
For the new year editions they now don't give the items from home to the winner. They used to but not anymore
I doubt they ever really did. It has always seemed as though it was just for show.
If you want to check out Greg James, look for some of his “Unpopular Opinion” segments on UA-cam. He interviews actors and musicians.
He was also a background extra in the Dr Who episode with Matt Smith and James Corden - the second one, in the department store with baby Alfie and the Cybermen. There’s a behind the scenes featurette about it on the dvd set. I think it’s in series 7 - the one before Angels in Manhattan. Can’t remember the name.
There's a popular Belgian celebrity trivia show where the contestants are celebrities who aren't necessarily from the entertainment sector. The show is extremely succesful because of great casting, and the way they do it is by doing a pub and a restaurant casting session with the quizmaster. It sound silly but everyone participating and working on that show says that is where the magic behind the show is found. As it breaks the ice for contestants who're not comfortable or used to such a setting. I imagine taskmaster might have something similar.
Recommendations on Taskmasters to see:
1) New Zealand. You're only missing 1 series out of its run. Because you're so close to winning the "Seen all NZ episodes" merit badge, you should finish it off. Also the hilarious Paul and Angela chemistry. Me, I like to complete things, so this would be my priority.
2) Australia. They're supposed to have filmed their first series this year, and there's no language barrier besides accents and cultural knowledge, which is a lot better than the ones where there is a language barrier. I'm not sure if it's dropped yet, so I have no opinion on it, but I'd be on the look out for it.
3) Having watched 2 of the international versions that were posted on Taskmaster UA-cam, I'd recommend the Swedish version. I like the Taskmistress and her assistant, and it's the rare version where a woman is in charge. When I watched the Danish first 2 seasons available on the UA-cam, the thing I didn't like about the show was the Taskmaster because he didn't seem to be in charge of his own show. Which led me to consider the different attitudes and behaviors of being in charge. Greg is in charge, Jeremy is in charge, and Babben is in charge, but they all display this characteristic differently, and so it's interesting to see the different takes on the same character trait that I would consider inherent to the role. Especially Greg v. Babben, as some of his command presence, I think, comes from his size whereas she's a petite woman. There's nothing wrong with either. I like both. I just like seeing the contrast.
4) Rewatch the UK series. I'm actually rewatching them now. If nothing else, it was a shock seeing the first series when the show wasn't established and the set and the lighting and the acoustics weren't quite right after watching the polished product that is the current show.
5) The Canadian show if we can get a version with subtitles. I find it weird that they wouldn't offer equal access to a show in Canada by subtitling it, but sometimes Canada is weird.
5) Everything else. I haven't seen the Norway show so I have no opinion on continuing. I'm going to start with that when I finish the Swedish show and my rewatch of the English version.
As for the upcoming season, I find it hilarious that every regular of the UK Ghosts cast has been on Taskmaster except for the Six Idiots (or will have been as of Season 15). If you're looking for other UK shows to watch that are reasonably accessible, I'd recommend Ghosts for the balance of comedy and drama. The US version just does not have the right drama level, making it okay but not must see. The UK version is must see.
Re your comment on uk series 1...it was filmed in an actual theatre...all.the rest in a studio copy of it....some great stuff in series 1
I'd love a Ghosts reaction! Excited to see Kiell in the new season
@@paulliversage4479 Ah. That makes sense. I knew they had difficulty getting it off the ground, and no one was sure if it would be popular, so I don't blame them for having a season 1 with a lower set quality level. It's just very striking as someone who is used to post-Season 1 after all this time.
Definitely agree that the tasks are interesting/good in Season 1, and so is the cast. The tasks are pretty much always good. Tree Wizard is a classic. I only have complaints about those when they do a similar type of task too often in one season. In Season 14 for example, they had a lot of "pick items before you see the task" tasks. I like this kind of task well enough, but it was noticeable that there were more than 2 in this category for that season.
I think Neil would enjoy Dave's Outsiders, presented by David Mitchell. That's quite Taskmaster-y, plus seven of its twelve (to date) contestants have been on Taskmaster. The first series seemed to pop up the year after TM went to Channel 4, and fits nicely into that Taskmaster shaped hole in their schedules,
Just how brilliant was it that somebody with the stage name, Self Esteem (Rebecca), had the moxy to go on Taskmaster? Loved that treat episode.
Yes, I'd love to see you react to the earlier series. I'm sure there will be moments you remember but probably more you've completely forgotten.
And, yes, I think Phill Jupitus would be a great contestant as much as I think Stephen Fry might be a bit too clever for the show, but you never know till you try and with Frankie Boyle taking part in series 15 I guess no names are off the table. I'd love to see Henning Wehn, Omid Djalili, Shaparak Khorsandi, Ronni Ancona, Marek Larwood (Greg's old punching bag from We Are Klang), Lloyd Langford (Greg's old punching bag from Ask Rhod Gilbert), Cariad Lloyd..... the list goes ever on
Her stage-name seems very appropriate for her now. I remember seeing her live with her previous band way back in around 2006/7, they got some critical recognition, played some festivals and supported a couple of big names but were fairly obscure. It was in a basement with about 50 other people, there was no stage and the performance area was partly obscured by columns. She was a really shy retiring girl who sat at the back playing percussion on a variety of household objects. She's massively come out of her shell in the last couple of years.
@@mcallisterwill Lucky she has a very good personality so it doesn't grate. Some people might seem egotistical pushing themselves forward so much, but she just comes across as very positive and life-affirming. Go her!
I have tried the head massager, and my reaction was very similar to Joe Wilkinson's on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown (you can find the clip by googling "Joe Wilkinson head massage"). Absolute torture.
I'm a big fan of the Minnesota version, but I don't know that it would serve well for reactions the way you've been doing them. It's a tremendous achievement for a bunch of college students, the location is great, and there are a handful of truly great tasks that could be used in the actual show. Plenty of other good tasks that are still fun to watch but aren't quite up to the same level. In the end, though, I don't think that there's enough there that's tight enough to support reacting to each episode. I think you'd enjoy watching it, and I'd love to hear your opinions about some of the things that happened, so maybe you could do 3 episodes at a pop and have it be more of a reaction to the highlights for them.
Sean lock I would loved to have seen.
Not in the same series, Dawn French, Lenny Henny, use to be married to each other, Ade Edmondson, Craig Revel horwood NYD one, Gary Delaney, Rosie Ramsey.
I'm British but I haven't lived in the UK for over 10 years. I know who Carol and Mo are, but the others not so much.
I only know Rebecca aka Self Esteem because she turned up as a contestant on Richard Osmand's House of Games and then I saw some of her performance on the Later with Jools Holland.
I really only know of Amelia from when I used to watch a UA-cam series called The Pengest Munch which reviews Chicken Shops around London (mostly). She does an interview show set in Chicken Shops and either they set it up so that they were at the same place at the same time, or they ran into her filming in one place.
I'd be up for reactions to any of the foreign versions, but ideally with links to where to find the episodes online - I've had real problems finding most of them - TM-NZ aside, the only other I've managed to catch is an episode or two of Norway or Sweden.I did sign up for Supermax+, but paused my subscription as they don't seem to be up on there yet, as far as I can make out.
Vic Reeves hasn't done TM, you might be thinking of either Bob Mortimer or Frank Skinner
There are posts in panelshow reddit thread with all international taskmaster eps with subtitles, including Canada. They also made a page of all collected together including chrimbo speshs etc., With most subs, as they're done by local fans they often give a wee bitta cultural interpretation as well as straight language (whether a pun, or idiom, or local sleb joke) so really good at getting insight into local tropes n traditions. Don't wanna give full link in case it scuppers owt....
I had to smile when you said you were largely unaware of pop music of the last 25 years. It's good to know I'm not alone! I listened avidly until the latter half of the 80s, resurfacing briefly for the rock and grunge of the early 90s. Maybe it's the musician in me that rejects lack of melody or blandness. There's plenty of back catalogue to plunder. And Taskmaster music tasks!
Lil note, you said "Mo Salah" at the start, not sure if you meant Mo Farrah,or the popular footballer over here....👀🤔😂💜
I can definitely see Mo and Karl Pilkington being childhood friends like Karl claimed.
I can't believe Carol actually put up her van as a prize. I think she didn't get that the 'surprising thing' was actually also the prize. I know the show runners would have realised but mb they just liked the whole living-in-a-van thing and let her get away with it.
I think it's safe to assume that the majority of the "prizes" don't get claimed by the winner.
Hello!
Woooooooooooooooo!
Rhod does a UA-cam podcast with his wife and he has James Acaster on, as they take about the awful gift you have received and Jessica Knappit won and they talked about Rhod's prize and Jessica smack it, and Rhod has it back super glued.
I love Amelia dimoldenberg she’s so awkward and funny
It certainly was a treat, whilst I didn’t recognise all of the cast for this episode it was a good lineup. Incidentally the van isn’t a Sprinter it’s a MAN TGE which at a glance looks rather similar.
Second time mentioning it. There's a youtube channel the yogscast that did essentially a one episode "legally distinct" version of taskmaster called taskbox that has its own gimmicks but is very fun and well worth a watch
Sometimes when Greg said “Sir Mo Farah” I kinda thought he was saying “some Mo Farah” like as if he was like “and also here, is some Mo Farah, just like some guy we found”
Also I’m cautiously optimistic about the Aussie version so I’d love to see you check that out when it’s released. I’m just worried our tv audiences suck and they’ll either pre-emptively edit it to try and appeal to out of touch boomers who were never going to like it anyway, or the contestants just won’t feel comfortable really being themselves (or maybe they’ll try a bit too hard to be quirky, rather than themselves)
But I know for a fact, two of the younger women that are cast, have some mental stories and really out there senses of humour from listening to podcasts they’ve guested on. They genuinely hold heaps of promise as producing all time top TM moments in the whole world, or the show might just not quite click.
(This was a ramble, I have horrible persistent hay fever and I’m losing my mind. The point I want to make is still buried in here somewhere)
Fern said in an Instagram q&a she still has her boyfriends tankard so I’m not sure the person actually gets to keep the prizes
I'd love to see mike and Zara tindall on there it would be fun seeing how a couple both do the same tasks x
Didnt josh widdecome use his house as one of the prize tasks in his series id think thatd be the most expensive prize
The scalp massager works best if someone else uses it on you, instead of using it on yourself
I still think you should try some of the hometasks from quarantine time :)
Please have the Denmark Taskmaster, Stormester, on your poll. I particularly love that version's assistant
Denmark is the best non English one IMO
@@galaxspace1 Norway for me.
Yes, go back and watch the classic from the start.
I would love this group in a full series
I think David be smiliar to Victoria.
Hey, Neil, What's the figure behind you between the Tusken Raider and Darth Maul?
That's a generic Death Watch Mandolorian.
Did they say all items will be win by the winner?
Fun fact: If Mo had been disqualified from the fishbowl task, everyone would have finished with 15 points
The scalp massager is awesome!
I think if you watch the original series of TM you would enjoy them more! I say you absolutely should do that
Plus S1 of TMNZ would be good for you to do
Carol Vorderman did the job that Rachel Riley now does on countdown
