  • Greg thinks that Rosie has low self esteem? That is absolutely not the impression I get from her.

    It’s been so long that I forgot about the hotdog.

    I’m amazed how quickly the detective figured out the trick, and with the quotable logic of “He’s Andy Zaltzman, he knows what velvet is!”

    I’m kinda disappointed that Greg chickened out of double deductions: -3 × 2 = -6 as we learnt in primary school.

    Hot sauce avoidance was genius, although I don’t believe he actually knew the rules allowed it. On the other hand, Andy very was confident on that subject. yeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEES he was.

    Andy’s technique of throw high (and so land vertically) was my first thought.



  • I thought Rosie’s solution to the fish dots was genius, although the pen was obviously superior. Andy definitely got Greg with the fisherman line, you can see his look of fascination until he realises it was just a joke. In fact, Andy’s studio lines were stupendous all episode and I was happy to see him win.

    I liked “You dotted the rim” as a possible episode title - do they ever use lines from Greg or Alex or is it always contestants’ lines?

    Alex’s joy and glee when it turned out that Jack’s only attempt netted the worse possible fish was beautiful to see.

    Mr Poo was more disgusting than I was expecting. The voice combined with the Nutella (I assume) was too visceral.

    It was weird how the studio guest would nod as he said no.





  • I’ve been in that maze! It’s at Thorpe Park, and I went on an adult-only night with work. Baba’s pace wasn’t gentle - it would have been funny to have his attempt disqualified while in the hotdog.

    And yeah - Finally we see someone else wear the hotdog! Interesting that it’s both been on non-judged tasks; I wonder if its just a coincidence or if the contestants aren’t allowed to do it for when Greg decides the points.

    I like that they forced Rosie to make a smoothie so she didn’t die trying to eat that envelope. Jack’s wheelbarrow video was great, although that’s mostly because the music made it.

    I hadn’t even understood the studio task by the time it finished; I’m assuming that they’d tested it with the crew beforehand and it had lasted a bit longer than that.












  • Jack Dee is a very well known face on British TV, in part for hosting Live at the Apollo before it became rotating hosts. Grumpy, dry and deadpan, he’s someone Alex has consistently mentioned when asked who he’d love to have on the show.

    Rosie Jones has been on a lot of panel shows lately, and is quite a marmite taste - people seem to love or hate her. In my house we’re not a fan in large part because her punchlines are all shock humour, which doesn’t really work once you’re expecting it. I’m hoping she’ll grow as a comedian - Sarah Millican’s routine seemed to be 99% I’m fat earlier on but now she’s great.

    I’ve not watched anything with Andy Zaltzman in and I don’t know the other two at all.
