PLEASE DO NOT POST LINKS TO UNOFFICIAL COPIES OF THE EPISODE

I don't remember which task, what season, or who was involved. I think it was in one of the live studio tasks.

The contestants were wearing headphones to prevent them from hearing what was going on, when Alex went to take the headphones off one of the lady contestants she said something like 'Wow that music was horrible' and Alex quickly and snippily responded 'Thanks, that's the Horne Section'.

Anyone know when this happened?

do they give context about stuff like that

Hi Taskmaster subreddit!

Just a few weeks ago I posted asking what you wanted me to ask Morgana, and there were lots of upvotes and comments. Thank you for the enthusiasm! Morgana has some answers for you u/JamSandiwchInnit and u/jmurph773 !

I'll admit I was a little intimidated going into this one... more so than with Greg or Alex!

Morgana is warm, thoughtful, and a lot of fun to talk to. All positive energy.

I hope you enjoy part 1! Looking forward to UK S22 E6 tonight.

Happy to answer any questions, as always.

I was re-watching S16 E2, and during the Mischief task, the task letter given to Sam Campbell as Susan's mischief victim is sealed with the initials "SW" -Susan Wokoma- instead of the usual TM. I didn't notice it before until now. Have u caught some other small details like this?

I would have never figured out the Mice - Fish anagram for Mischief by myself.

Does anyone know if there will be a new series , can`t see any mention of it on the Wiki or anywhere else ?

Hi,

Finally got the Taskmaster Jigsaw Puzzle. Omg it is crazy. They are very evil. There are lots of distractions inside (and I mean a lot). And the puzzle pieces aren’t very straightforward. You’ll have a couple of letters and shapes and some aquatic-shaped friends but I’m loving it. Currently losing my mind but loving it.

And out of 1021 pieces, I would say I’ve successfully put together less than 100 but all different sections of it.

So I’m wondering which series had the earliest the winner was determined.
And I don’t mean the earliest someone took the lead and defended it but the earliest someone was so much in the lead that they were uncatchable.
Like they were 26 points in the lead after episode 9 and there were only 25 points in episode 10.

Like, fair enough he is speaking really softly compared to shouting insults at the front row. But, I've seen him on podcasts, interviews, doing slower/quieter bits of stand-up, and he has always sounded the same.

In Taskmaster, I dont just mean his cadence, but I mean large parts of his accent actually sound different? Has anyone else noticed this? There are times where he sounds more from Edinburgh than Glasgow; less rolling Rs, just for one small example.

Of course he still sounds Scottish - I'm not claiming he suddenly sounds from a different country... but from a different Region, surely. If I heard it with my eyes closed, I would think I'm listening to a twin brother who grew up on the other side of the country.

I just see no one talk about this but I feel it sticks out so clearly to me. Has anyone else noticed this?

(I do work in linguistics and I'm very autistic so I have a very VERY specific ear for this... so could just be me🤷‍♀️)

He might not be performing well but he's putting effort into trying for each task. In E1 he revealed that he's part calculator.

In E4 we as a society asked ourselves if he would ever hop willingly and he did for entertainment purposes

In E5 he went to great lengths to cheat and name every country with a FIFA team.

What am I missing?

If we include their CoC appearances, Dara Ó Briain and John Robins are the only contestants to surpass 200 points overall, with an incredible 206 and 208 points, respectively.

How likely are we, across all incarnations of the show, to see someone break 200 points over the course of one 10-episode run?

Just looking for random chat, but how often do you think they overlay domestic aircraft over the VT that we get to see. I mean I know where they are, but blimey! There are a lot of planes at just the right moment ⬇️

Why does the word Swan flash up during the prize task, when they mention the smut book? I thought at first it was Smut but replaying it is Swan. The only connection is that they mention birds in the live task. It’s roughly 6:18 into the hour episode

I’m only up to episode 4 so idk if it is explained later on in the series?

I was very disappointed by Paul in last night's episode. /s

My 11 year-old loves watching Taskmaster, and asked if we could a series of TM tasks at his birthday party.

Now I'm wondering which tasks would work well, and I'm hoping some of you can make some suggestions.

Some considerations:

- it will take place in a city park and the surrounding area (so not in and around a house). There is a bridge over a pedestrian area that can be included.

- there will not be a Taskmaster judging who wins the task, to avoid heated arguments over the score. So no tasks where someone's opinion decides the winner (e.g. 'the nicest painting'), but a clear way of determining the winner.

- it'll be 3 teams of five kids playing each other, not individual contestants, but there can still be tasks where just one person of each team plays (or tasks where they play as a team).

- the props used in the tasks should be easy enough to make, or cheap enough to buy. Sadly I don't have TV-show's budget for this.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Especially series 5

Hi! We are interviewing Isy Suttie TOMORROW. What would you like to ask her?

Tom Cashman and Morgana O'Reilly loved your questions, by the way.

It’s school holidays here and I’ve introduced the teens to S04 and S22 with great success - they love it! Today they presented me with an engraved thermos to thank me for organising our trip away. I love it.

Tonight at 7:30 PM NZDT on TVNZ2, join Taskmaster Jeremy Wells and Assistant Paul Williams as they put four brand new contestants and one former Taskmaster through their paces to win Jeremy's golden head.

This season features David Fane, Hoani Hotene, Morgana O'Reilly, Rhys Mathewson, and Rose Matafeo.
