For the prizes, they do get to keep them but truly personal or important stuff (like Romesh's wedding ring) usually get given back to be nice. But at the beginning of the show they sign a form saying all the prizes they put up legally belong to the winner. Like in this episode, Frank did keep the cheque from Josh and actually cashed out £19,000. He gave it back to him in cash a week later, but he absolutely could have kept it.
or the absolute trash... Also Richard Osman has said on a podcast that the prizes are usually returned, otherwise nobody would bring anything valuable in.
You are completing the Taskmaster Contestants Relationship Cycle. In the first episode you know no one.(Maybe one at most from Graham Norton or Bake-off.) By the second episode you have some favorites. By episode 3 you are all in, they are the best cast ever. By episode 8 the separation anxiety begins and you are in despair over saying goodbye. Then the next series starts and the cycle begins anew.
If you are really interested in British tv I highly recommend ‘Would I Lie To You’ and ‘QI’ and ‘Big Fat Quiz’. All so fun and funny and clever. And they are mostly available on RUclips
Hey Ashley!! Thank you :) Yeah, so, honestly Taskmaster kind of knocked my adventures with WILTY to the curb. I had such a hard time getting it through copyright clearance, and by the time I had cut enough to make it compliant, it really hindered the effects of the storytelling :( I was working on trying out the best way forward when Taskmaster fell into my lap. So I'm not giving up on it, but it's sidelined for now, at least as far as reactions go. I am VERY interested in QI after the great praise it's gotten, and I'm not as familiar with Big Fat Quiz, so thank you!!
@@DavidvsFilmWith WILTY you could react too just This is My section of the show, or divide into 3 parts, : looking forward to seeing more taskmaster from you
It is sad to see them go, but it’s always fun to meet the new group! Panel shows are addictive precisely because you start to love these people and the more panel shows you watch the more you see the same faces. I know the British channels can be a bit litigious with copyright, I hope you can catch some QI, it’s very good- and even in your own (not filmed) time their podcast No Such Thing as a Fish is very fun and interesting. Big fat quiz would be soooo fun to play on the channel if you have any interest- my partner and I always try and fail miserably to play along. It’s a yearly tradition in our house as soon as BFQ is on RUclips to get out some paper and try to outdo each other, since we certainly can’t beat any of the panelists. We’re also quite fond of 8 out of 10 cats does countdown- countdown itself is too dry and 8 out of 10 cats isn’t very interactive for the viewer, but we always try our hardest at the mashup and always get real embarrassed how dumb we are.
Haha excellent advice!! Thank you so much. Yeah, I am open to everything so far at this point, because the few programs I've tried so far have all be great.
"8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is a great suggestion! I would love to rewatch "Carrot In A Box" through fresh eyes again! 😂😂😂 And David will get more exposure to Roisin Connaghty, and meet many future Taskmaster competitors, including potato-tosser Joe Wilkinson! (Intrigued yet, David?😉😄)
Can’t believe we’re soon done with series 1. you do appreciate the 10-episode length series when that comes in for the later ones🧡🧡 also, love your nickname for Roisin!
I know!! I have to get on series 2 now. Haha I am going to MISS HER! Binged the first season of After Life the other night and enjoyed her parts in it.
If you like Roisin and Greg, you'll love their sitcom 'Man Down', It co-stars Rik Mayall as Gregs Dad. Americans of a certain age know Rik Mayall as Drop Dead Fred in the movie Drop Dead Fred
Granted, they don't repeat prize tasks, and 'most valuable thing' sets the bar high, but I miss these high stakes prize tasks from the early seasons. I don't care if they don't really keep them, the high level of prize, gave a sense of stakes to the show for me. Mild Spoiler Later seasons this is MUCH less the case, imo, and I've heard some mention of the producers getting some prizes for the contestants. The lack of effort makes me sad. I don't necessarily mean prizes like Daisy's bottle of wine, route 1 is a choice and a good foil for creative prizes. Perhaps the meh prizes are just not my sense of humor, and a good story about a crap prize will win me over as well, many of the contestants are great bs'ers. :)
I’m globophobic (fear of balloons) too, so I feel Josh’s pain! The good thing about being at the start of your Taskmaster journey is that as soon as you get to the end of this series, you can go straight to the next one and then there’s almost 20 after that! Also, I’m probably wrong here but I think you can leave out the “yo” and just say “soy David”
Aww I'm sorry. Yeah, I worked with a girl who was TERRIFIED of balloons, so I've seen the effects. Every birthday at the office was an exercise in torture for her. And yeah! You are exactly right of course about the "Yo soy" vs. "Soy". The backstory on that is.. it's an inside joke and on-camera "nod" to my in-laws, who are Hispanic. It's a literal representation of how bad my Spanish is, which they all make fun of ;)
Hahaha I sing it walking around the house sometimes, especially if I'm up against the clock for something (running to turn off the oven timer, running to answer the door, etc. lol)
i think tim gave up to quickly on making fred talk in swedish, everything hits harder in your native language, saying supposetly embarrasing things in your second language is just not the same.....maybe its just me.
I guess they could have done something messy in the lab to make the Swedish man blush? I love the creativity of this show, both by the contestants and by the creator/writers in coming up with the challenges! Every series/season has great challenges, and hilariously imaginative solutions!😂
Haha true! I mean, I am just in awe, and this is SEASON 1!! They are burning through- what is it, 5?- tasks PER EPISODE. I don't know how they keep doing it. And like someone else mentioned, this is just the UK version! I've heard there's not a lot of overlap in other countries, so that's a lot of fresh tasks to come up with consistently.
What do you mean join in? You want me to offer up a prize from my house at the beginning of each video? haha ;) Thanks for the heads up on Romesh's show!
Ah, the introduction of a truly singular figure in Taskmaster history, Fred the Swedish Man.
He was awesome. Does he come back??
@@DavidvsFilm fred cant stay away, he might be a stalker :P
@@DavidvsFilm quite a few times in the future seasons
While the series 13 cast is probably my favorite, the disrespect they show toward Fred is unacceptable.
For the prizes, they do get to keep them but truly personal or important stuff (like Romesh's wedding ring) usually get given back to be nice. But at the beginning of the show they sign a form saying all the prizes they put up legally belong to the winner.

Ahhh I see, I see. Excellent info, thanks!!
or the absolute trash...
Also Richard Osman has said on a podcast that the prizes are usually returned, otherwise nobody would bring anything valuable in.
Didn't Josh keep the ring a few months before giving it back? Either because Josh refused to give it back (as a joke) or Romesh refused to take it.
welcome to the taskmaster cycle, that always has the i will miss these guys near the end of a series
haha but I will!!!

This is LITERALLY how I fell lol. I haven't gotten to the cycle beginning anew part yet, but the rest? you nailed it! Exactly my experience.
So true!!!!!!
Frank did bank the cheque. But paid the money straight back, minus a charity donation.
I like this approach!
If you are really interested in British tv I highly recommend ‘Would I Lie To You’ and ‘QI’ and ‘Big Fat Quiz’. All so fun and funny and clever. And they are mostly available on RUclips

QI and Big Fat Quiz Show are hilarious, along with Would I lie to you.
@@DavidvsFilmWith WILTY you could react too just This is My section of the show, or divide into 3 parts, : looking forward to seeing more taskmaster from you
Yes , when Alex says what the prize tasks is you could pause video & say what yours would be, certainly better than Roisin 😂
hahahaha
I'm glad you enjoyed this season so far! I'm looking forward to seeing the future seasons with you, with some of my favorite comedians coming up.
I watched Jimmy Carr on "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend" the other day. I didn't realize Jimmy had done his stand up on Conan's tv show 7 times!
Me either! I love Conan. I saw he has a new travel or something (new to me, anyway). His humor is right up my alley.
The new travel show is fun. I just watched the first couple of episodes.
@@katzablot599 I bet it is. I can't afford max right now,😒
roisin is a treasure!😂 taskmaster is such a genius show🥰
Absolutely!
Hi David! I’m here for my weekly taskmaster re watch with you! I hope you keep going with them!!
What a nice gift too!
Aww thank you so much! I look forward to your comments! I absolutely intend to, yes. They are so much fun :)
I do love a silly show with brilliant people
And don't you think they love it too?? I mean, if I would go on Taskmaster for FREE, let alone getting paid!
It is sad to see them go, but it’s always fun to meet the new group! Panel shows are addictive precisely because you start to love these people and the more panel shows you watch the more you see the same faces.

‘Look at you l’Stat!’
The Anne Rice/Frank Skinner crossover I never expected. lol
Can’t believe we’re soon done with series 1. you do appreciate the 10-episode length series when that comes in for the later ones🧡🧡 also, love your nickname for Roisin!

Wilson nail 😂 that was hilarious.
Thank you!! Had to put the evidence in to at least somewhat support my claim. lol
British people have a strange aversion to popping balloons. If you keep watching other seasons, this'll become obvious.
Hahaha ok, I’ll be on the lookout now.
I’m globophobic (fear of balloons) too, so I feel Josh’s pain!

Hooray! It’s Taskmaster reaction day! 😁 I love that you sang along with the intro song, without realizing it, I think.
Hahaha I sing it walking around the house sometimes, especially if I'm up against the clock for something (running to turn off the oven timer, running to answer the door, etc. lol)
Hi, can you wstch freak show 2017? Pls
Thanks for the recommendation!
Roisin is the best
I challenge you to lift a real rock 1/10th that size.
Hahaha please. I couldn't lift that fake rock! lol
Swedish Fred...we'll see again.😊
Ohhhh good!!!
i think tim gave up to quickly on making fred talk in swedish, everything hits harder in your native language, saying supposetly embarrasing things in your second language is just not the same.....maybe its just me.
Good point, I agree 😊
‘Sup, back atcha! My first thought was, “Yay, Wednesday!” My last thought, “Crap, it’s a week until next Wednesday.” Love and peace …
'Sup! Hahaha. I still feel for you and your dilemma.
I guess they could have done something messy in the lab to make the Swedish man blush?
I love the creativity of this show, both by the contestants and by the creator/writers in coming up with the challenges! Every series/season has great challenges, and hilariously imaginative solutions!😂

@DavidvsFilm Some international versions copy tasks; others don't.
Still waiting to see you join in with the prize tasks, The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan is a great travel show, worth a watch
What do you mean join in? You want me to offer up a prize from my house at the beginning of each video? haha ;)
Thanks for the heads up on Romesh's show!
Loving these, they put me in a good mood. Hey just curious, have you watched Bridgerton?
Aww thank you! I love them. And nope! Never did. That was one of those mega-hits that somehow slipped by us.
