Recently rewatched series 15. The reaction of sheer joy to the potatoe hat task by Jenny Eclair, got me trying to think if there has been a contestant who enjoyed a single task more than her.

Off the top of my head the only one i think comes close is Liza Tarbuck making Alex sit on a cake.

Interested to see what other people think, especially if I've missed anything glaringly obvious.

Also love to know if there a single task that if you were taking part in, would bring you sheer joy. For me it would be the t shirt cannon task.

I won’t accept any other explanations.

Looking for a clip I saw in an out of context TM video where a line of objects simply blew away in the wind in front of a still camera (so no cutting or funny angles as far as I recall). I also think it said "Mel" at the bottom of the screen but I'm not sure.

As of writing this, I'm finishing up series 4 of TM UK and have watched all of the UK series, all CoCs and NYTs, as well as TM NZ series 1 & 2. Because of the Mel thing, I assumed I would encounter this clip in UK series 4, but it doesn't seem to be from here.

Any idea where that clip is from, or if I'm just misremembering?

Edit: I also don't remember exactly where I saw the clip, so I can't find it in isolation either. Might do a deep search later but rn Reddit is my only hope

I went today with my kids to the Taskmaster for Kids show. I have to say it was very funny. Phil does an excellent job (as does Mr B). The way they pick they kids means that everyone gets to play and if your kids don’t want to participate, they don’t have to. It ran a bit over, but all in all, I thought it was very good! Can recommend. Any questions let me know.

So Taskmaster International put the first episode of Portugal's Taskmaster up and I was delighted to see it start with several favorites:

Knock the Ducks Off the Walls

Get the Ping Pong Ball Out of the Pipe

Walk and Retrace Your Steps (Bread Crumbs)

Score a Basketball Without Your Hands - the basketball hoop is in a pool too just to be mean 😄

Make a Scale Weigh Exactly X Pounds

(By the way, should the Other Versions flair now be Taskmaster International?)

But as much as I enjoyed the tasks- the duck on the walls one has claimed the sanity of a another contestant and seems alarmingly good at it- I found myself yet again flabbergasted that nobody did the bread crumb task in the easiest fashion.

The only point of bread crumbs is to give you a visual trail of where you have been. While some contestants grasp this and use it- I have not once in any version I've watched seen someone throw down a jacket or ask the assistant to do so.

So I've enjoyed bits of this season, but it's felt at times like it's been rather calm, not much interaction or banter, straight to tasks a lot of the fun interactions between contestants and Greg and Alex are just missing. IMO.

So lately i've caught a few of the outtakes on youtube, and that's where all these moments are, Richard has actually been really funny in the studio on multiple occasions and in the studio edit it's cut down to minimal conversation.

I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but it's taken out a lot of what I love about the show, the content is there but they edited it all out.

What are all the times Alex got up on stage when the winners collect their prizes?
In S7E6 he eats Jessica‘s key lime pie
And S20E6 he wears the lady Di dress and the cap.
Are there any other times he was on stage?

What can be the reason? Is it the same in other countries too? Last year I could order the Christmas crackers pack to Hungary with no problem, but this year when I set the country to Hungary, some items in the webshop disappear... :/

Truly a magical moment lol

Ok, I thought I’d seen all the seasons generally considered “the best”, but no one told me about 15! It is a full cast of four Agents of Chaos plus uncanny genius Mae, and has even better ridiculous scoring arguments than the Rhod-versus-everyone season (“the word BANANA is a BANANA!!!”). When Frankie Boyle told Ivo that he looked like “a chimpanzee whose habitat is under threat” my husband laughed so hard he slid off our couch. I’m watching the finale tonight but have just been so totally delighted from start to finish with this one. Is there some reason I don’t know about that it’s not usually considered one of the best?

This is not the address I expected to see on Taskmaster merch. Peculiar bedfellows.

If you've seen any of the social promo for season 22, you may have seen our Belt Workshop. This isn't part of our regularly open museum spaces, and can only be accessed with a tour guide. It features a victorian era belt-driven workshop, which still works to this day. It was affected by air raids in 1918, but has been rebuilt to the workshop you see on Taskmaster today.

I’m rewatching series 7 and during the draw the biggest circle it was heavily snowing for Kerry‘s attempt. And in S22 it was for some of Chloe‘s.
Am I missing any other instance where it snowed during any of the filming?

Thought this was sweet. Fatiha was on the Mo Gilligan podcast Beginning Middle End a short while back and they talked about her time on the show. Mo would be a good contestant for an upcoming series!

Do we ever see inside the other spaces of the taskmaster house?

specifically I'm looking for pics inside the 2 former bed rooms on the northern side of the house (I believe one is a green room and one is for cameras and other equipment?), the tiny northwestern corner room (I think it contains a bath tub?), the toilet just outside the lab, or either of the two closets
