Tony is actually a former european champion and has an MBE. His full name is Anthony D. Jordan
Excellent information!
You sent me down one heck of a Wikipedia rabbit hole researching international badminton competition.
Please watch series 6 episode 6. It has a great story featuring Richard Osman and a badger...
I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
@@NeilTalks To make you even more interested the story about the badger also involves the banker from Deal or No Deal... How long is your list right now?
@@StijnHommes About 30 episodes deep, I'm afraid. But patience will be rewarded. :)
@@NeilTalks Thanks for the update. That at least gives me an idea on how patient I need to be. Have a nice weekend 😀
I seem to have become a bit addicted to North American reaction videos but yours are easily the most enjoyable in that you actually get our humor. I'm currently stuck in the house after a pretty horrific leg injury and after 18 months of lock down there's pretty much no telly left to binge watch so thanks for keeping me entertained and occupied as well as providing a helpful distraction from the pain while I try and do my physio exercises
Thank you for the wonderfully kind words, Pamela! I'm so happy that I can bring you a little levity while you recover. Take care of yourself and get healthy! Much love from Canada.
Doing better?
You know Tess from a show you haven't seen, but you didn't notice Sally from Bob's series of Taskmaster.
caught in 4k lol
Sally was hilarious in VEEP written by Armando Iannucci of The Thick Of It and Alan Partridge fame.
When you've watched WILTY too much and now you know David's personality so well that you KNOW when he's lying.....
While I love Davids condescending scorn, I have to disagree with him on this episode, this is something that consistently bugs me.
A stopped escalator is NOT the same as stairs, and yes you DO fly off.
With stairs, all steps are equally distant, when you take a flight of stairs your body is quickly trained to expect and use the exact amount of energy for those steps, if one step is even on inch different you will see SCORES of people stumble on that step. With escalators the final step isn't spaced as far above the previous one as the other steps are. This means that using the same amount of energy will cause you to overstep, potentially causing you to feel the sensation of being launched in the air a bit.
David is WRONG on this and it bothers me to no end that I cannot tell him so.
Does it not occur to you that Rhod and yourself could be wrong. In what possible was are they different.
@@ninagray4441 What?!....I LITERALLY just explained how!!!
So then just mentally prepare yourself and stop acting surprised. Don't think about it, don't notice it.
''This means that using the same amount of energy will cause you to overstep''
Correct. Except that, if you are walking up a stopped escalator, you won't be using the same amount of energy
when you get near the top. Your eyes are in constant co-ordination with your brain as you go up and as you get to the last couple of feet, your brain will pullback the energy exertion as it knows that after the last step you are going back on to level ground. The same as when you get to the top of a normal set of stairs.
It's the same when you're driving a car up a hill at 30mph and then get to the top and the road levels out again.
You may feel as though you're pulling away faster than expected, due to the lowering of resistance, but you're still only going 30mph.
If you were actually to feel nauseous on a travelator or have problems coming off the top of a set of stairs or an escalator, then that might indicate balance problems or an inner ear complaint in you, rather than a change in the laws of physics.
@@alexvaraderey No, on a regular stair you push off on any step you encounter to continue your upwards trajectory. The momentum for the last step you take is the same as every other step except that you don't make a followup continuing step. The "landing" is the same, not so for an escalator, there the energy needed to launch you up the final step is suddenly lower.
Point is, a stopped escalator is not the same as a stair, period, a stair doesn't have a smaller final step, period. I can't believe I have to explain this.
David Mitchell was wrong about the stopped escalator because in a normal staircase all the steps are the same height while on a frozen escalator they aren't. On an escalator that top step is shorter than the rest. So you get into a pace where you expect the next step to always be in a particular spot then try to put your weight on the last step that isn't as tall as you expected it and you fall forward as you try to 'stand' on air.
But your eyes can see that the step isn't where you expect it to be so surely you could make a judgement on the speed required. Unless you are running up the stairs and even then it would take an incredible amount of speed to trick your eyes into misjudging where the step is.
I fell down one as a child when I was about 5, a woman stood at the top and there was nowhere for me to go. Almost 40 years later, I still hate them.
@dunbar9finger Not only that... But there's usually that metal plate at the top. And as you step off of the escalator, that can buckle slightly then spring back making you slightly unsteady as you step forward off the escalator.
@@jedislap8726 people don't generally look down at their feet when walking up stairs. The peripheral vision at the bottom of your eyesight is enough to work out when you approach the end of the steps and then your subconscious just knows "okay, 3 more steps then I change my pace to flat walking". To notice the shortness of the last step requires paying a bit more attention than that. Most people don't consciously think about each step they take. They let their subconscious take over while their mind wanders. And the subconscious "stair walking algorithm" isn't expecting one step to be different from the rest. It gets stuck in an unthinking pattern and runs on autopilot.
I absolutely love how much discussion there is in these comments about the eternal stairs/stopped elevator debate. Carry on, subscribers! :D
The thing is when this came out Rhod was playing the young new comedian role on the panel. As a WILTY panel goes this is probably one of the most famous. Sally was more famous then, and as someone else said Tess hosts the biggest entertainment show in the UK and the late Des O'Connor was another household name.
Most people who saw Rhod on Taskmaster may have thought he was quite vicious but that's only due to his ADHD, I thought the way he stood up to shake Tony's hand was more reflective of his character. He's also a very shy person outside of comedy. His guest is actually a very well known name in badminton just not in the public conscience.
I was about to disagree with you about how he came across on Taskmaster & then realised I have ADHD too so probably why I viewed it differently. I loved the task with the golf hole as what he did was also my 1st thought, I guess it's a show where our viewing stuff totally differently from everyone else can really be helpful. Though the den task made me as mad as James
@@pamelajoanne3628 oh don't get me wrong I loved him, he's one of my favourites and I fully sympathise with him. He was so good at the problem solving / objective tasks but he said in an interview that when he had to do something he struggled with like the quick change outfit, he just drew a blank which apparently made him feel quite low, which might be why he seemed to take things out on Alex. I'm well aware many people with ADHD may find those things challenging though I don't want to assume for individuals.
Nicely put.
@@Isleofskye Thanks
Nah, sallys become more famous since taskmaster
I remember watching this, and I remember we never found out what the red switch did….. and now, I again really want to know….. WHAT DOES THE DAMN RED SWITCH DO!!!
Nobody knows!
It might turn off the Oxygen!
So, was Rhod telling the truth about the travellator or not? You didn't include the answer!
Lie, the whole argument with David was part of a bluff attempt IMHO
For Rhod Gilbert standup see-> Rhod Gilbert - Luggage on Michael McIntyre's
I honestly don’t think Jo Brand is funny whatsoever
Mike Wosniak is hilarious, loved him in the last series of Taskmaster
@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches if you have watched the video then it’s quite obvious
Rhod's right. It's not the same.
Just watched the first few episodes of Taskmaster NZ Series 2 today and it's seriously good. You should definitely check it out next week, most people will be in your position there too of not knowing the comedians, but they're all great and even more insane than most of the British contestants. The Taskmaster isn't as good as Greg, he lacks a bit of banter and authority but the assistant Paul is absolutely brilliant! Mostly it's such even more mad than in the UK, which I didn't know was possible.
Second this. The second episode might be one of the best of all time.
I will definitely be reacting to TM NZ series 2. Not exactly sure when - it will depend on what TM UK releases this week, if anything. But stay tuned!
You might recognise Patsy from Lethal Weapon 2....👀
I have to back up Rob for the escalator one. Literally few days ago I went up one that wasn't working and the feeling is definitely different. And it was nauseating walking on it. But looove walking on normal one and getting the extra speed feeling
You know the feeling going up stairs when you weren't looking and get to the top thinking there was one more step but there wasn't so you stumble as you try to step on midair? That happens all the time on stopped escalators because the top step is shorter than the others. The steps flatten out as they approach the floor and the last step is always frozen in a position halfway through that process of getting flatter.
I have to agree wirh both comments so far. Huge fan of david mitchell but his famous logic is all over the place on this one. His argument is still hilarious though lol
@@jcstato9048 he obviously wasn't on one not working before, and if he was he's freaky for feeling the same hahahaha
@@dunbar9finger for me it was probably the uneven surface, the weird texture escalator has(to prevent slipping prbbly) plus people going down next to me on the working one...
The reason is at the top of the not working escalator the stairs gradually reduce in height.
I have enjoyed watching your reactions. May I suggest watching Series 13 ep. 2. This is fun :Victoria Cohen Mitchell appears on David's team and Asim Chadry (Taskmaster contestant) is also on it. If you think Lee goes after David, Lee is in rare form with his jabs at him.
Thanks, Sue! It's in the pipeline - stay tuned!
Lee Mack threatened to stop making his tv show 'Not Going Out' if the BBC continued to sell it to commercial channels who broadcast it alongside sponsorship for alcohol. It was going to be difficult contractually but the recipient commercial channel relented anyway. This was to reflect his involvement with the charity Alcohol Concern' although he's not actually anti alcohol
Loved your reaction as always! In addition to those you've already checked out, one of my favorites on this show is Miles Jupp. I would highly recommend Series 6 Episode 2, which he's on and also features an amazing exchange between Lee and David.
For the first time, probably, I disagree with David Mitchell on the escalator debate lol
Where is Hennings Easter onion?
I'm Canadian too and I love that I discovered the scene of British comedy panel shows. You picked some good ones for WILTY. David O'doherty was always funny when he's on and his hypnosis story in series 5 ep 3 is one the show's best moments. I can't remember how the rest of the show went but his story was hilarious. Series 7 ep 5 as a whole was quite good too.
Awesome! I'll add them to the list.
"You tried to put leg warmers on a swan?!"
Rhod has a point the escalator does throw you a little bit when you reach the end of it, it’s due to intertia
sally also on taskmaster hahaha
Sally was exellent on taskmaster, i never realised she was such a nut.
Sally was one of my favorites in the whole Taskmaster series.
I fell in love.
Of course since Neil has already watched it, he will not remember her.
Sally is fantastic in her own right. Pretty much everything from Smack the Pony is available on YT, it's wonderful.
Sally is a beast at this. So good.
Fellow Canadian here (Alberta). Never heard of your channel before today, but three of my favourite things in the world are Taskmaster, WILTY and Sporcle. I've actually played that every-country-in-the-world-no-outlines-minefield quiz 235 times as of today (including earlier today). I am beginning to wonder if we are secretly the same person.
Great minds, right? Welcome aboard the channel!
Have you seen the last ep with Victoria Coren Mitchell? That was a lot of fun - she was on David's team
It's in the pipeline - stay tuned! :)
Lol! Escalator (travelator in American English)
We have them everywhere in the UK. Supermarkets, train stations, umm, fruit markets! (I know that sounds weird but some fruit & vegetable markets I've been to have indoor sections with escalators)(It sounds weird just saying that but it's true)
No, "travelator" is not the American word for "escalator". The two terms are both used in American English but they describe two different things. If it's a motorized flat belt moving you horizontally like you frequently find in an airport terminal it's a travelator. If it's motorized stairs that go to another floor it's an escalator.
@@dunbar9finger
Ahh, that makes sense! Never thought about that. (It's true about the fruit market though) :P
If nobody else said it, those airport things are usually called "travelators". In Disney properties I've heard the called "people movers" though. I think I've also heard "moving walkway" too.
it felt like, every time you asked a question out loud, this episode immediately answered. :D
You have Pot Noodles over there?! 🙄🤯🤣
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen them. And yet, I've definitely heard of them enough to know exactly what they are. Weird.
I never would guess the mobility scooter, no way you are getting one this cheap.

Claudia, along with Tess, hosts Strictly Come Dancing these days but it used to be hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth who was a showbiz legend. One of his catchphrases was ‘Nice to see you, to see you…’ and the audience would reply ‘Nice!’. Des O’Conner, who died last year, was another British light entertainment legend.
Neil, IMO don't seek out anything with Forsyth. He's an example of the older type of British comedy, a holdover, which is mostly catchphrases (which are rarely actually funny, but the endless repeating of them is supposed to make them seem so), the occasional bad pun, and wall to wall old guys called "national treasures", mostly because they're old.
but flipping a switch down is on not off.
Maybe in Bizarro World... :)
Equally underrated is when Des O'Connor says "He lives in a slum".
Watched Robs podcast interview with Lee Mack on UA-cam. It was humbling, Lee admits to bring diagnosed with ADHD. Inspiring for families with children also diagnosed. He is able to ad lib effortlessly. I love your recaps, Thank you for sharing 🇬🇧👍
The Bob Mortimer x Rob podcast episode is worth watching as well @NEIL Talks
oh wow I didn't know that, but as someone with ADHD myself, I can't say i'm at all suprised. I've done a little bit of stand up before lock down (only about a dozen gigs or so) and there's an awful lot of comedians (certainly at club level) diagnosed with it.
I've been diagnosed with it too, it's a blessing more than a curse.
Check out Rhod Gilbert's series called "work experience".
