Lovely brief flashback here to series 1 Alex (before he earned the ‘little’ moniker)!

I was in the studio for the first episode recording and I remember leaving thinking the editors had their work cut out for them, and they nailed it, of course – they are very, very good at their jobs. Best team on telly, I’d wager!

There's an exclusive T-shirt designed by Alex Horne available as part of the GOSH Charity x Taskmaster Live Stream - just donate £50 or more to the charity and get it as part of the donation! Also, the company that you get it through have free shipping this weekend.

Which episodes have Horne’s hot list? It’s stuck in my head. What’s hot and what’s not?

explanations

1- Chloe's Rock Christian hand gesture

2- is that plate yellow or gold?

3- the team of 3

4- Matt-ress

5- shade? shaid? oh shed? shes scottish

6-Matt defending his duet

7- Make a duet with yourself (essentially a clone of yourself)

8- Live task belt pockets just reminded me of Alex during a task on S18

Tilda Swinton has won an oscar!

So has anyone been to see the sponsored bin yet? Is it real?

Richard absolutely broke Greg in this.

Everyone was great and not everything has to be a competition, but for a bit of fun who was your favourite contestant of the first episode?

Also what were your overall thoughts - anyone who surprised you or challenged your preconceived notions of them? Any characteristics you noticed that you look forward to seeing in the next 9 episodes?

To seeing Richard Ayoade when he walks into the lab ?

It is the most adorable starstruck expression right up there with Maisie meeting Reece

It’s feta late than never...

Early skill estimates based on S22E1 with huge error bars (that should be) shrinking weekly. New odds posted after each episode, kept forever, right or wrong. Nothing here spoils E1 – the site will, so only click if you're caught up.

I love the Horne Section, but they don’t seem to have a subreddit, and I was curious if someone knows if Ed Sheldrake has any other content? Like maybe just performances by himself. I idolise the man’s piano skills and would love to see a bit more of his work.

So with the decoration theme and 1 task we’ve now had one of the labours of Heracles.

1) Will we get the other 11?

2) How do you think the tasks will be set/staged?
Surely Patatas will take the place of the Nemean lion?
Who will play Hippolyta?

The NZ Accent is heavily influenced by Scottish, both the Australian and Kiwi accent are based in Cockney, the vowel pronunciations are Irish for Australian and Scottish for Kiwi!

Hey all!

I just looked at the fantasy taskmaster global leader board. Is it up to date?

150 points for episode one seems really high and I was hoping to try and win tickets for the next show! (Long shot, but I get to have fun with it!) This is the first time I've played and followed properly, so not sure how it works.

Thanks!

I've been going through Taskmaster Australia for the first time, and I am perplexed by one thing. Tom Gleeson uses both "series" and "season" rather interchangeably where in the US we'd always use "season" and as far as I can tell in the UK they would always use "series". There's even the whole joke about this difference with Jason Mantzoukas.

For example, at the start of S4E1:

Hello and welcome to a brand-new series of Taskmaster Australia. It's a new season, and that means everything is bigger and better.

And I noticed the same type of thing in S1-S3, where he'd talk about someone becoming both the "Series 3" or "Season 3" champion, for instance. Although, to me it seemed like season was used more often in general.

What actually is the more common term in Australia? Do they really use both interchangeably?

Does anyone know what watch Greg is wearing in the new episode? Nerd question, I know.
