Imagine going out for a nice walk with your boulder and seeing a gazebo populated by two men holding hands while making a hotel bed as a third watches and takes notes
Smart that Tim verified that he was Swedish. I can imagine a task where they spent 10 minutes trying to get a man to blush and turns out he was Icelandic the whole time.
To be fair, how would we be able to tell if he’s actually speaking Swedish. Idk any Swedish words, kinda doubt tim does. That would’ve been a funny twist, like maybe Alex was secretly Swedish or something
How he introduces them every episode Frank- age joke Josh- age joke but in the opposite direction Roisin- personal anecdote about her Ramesh- anger joke Tim- appearance joke

@@scubageek17 Graham Norton was my gateway drug, then Big Fat Quiz, then 8ootcdc, then WILTY, and now here. It's been a great pandemic. What comes after this?
I’m rewatching this and on second viewing, my favorite thing is Greg and Roisin’s friendship. Like you really have to be besties to be laying in your friend’s bed eating biscuits when they’re not home, but if you’ve been friends for a long time, it’s totally plausible. One time my bestie came home and I was laying in her bed with her wife watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.
Ramesh deserves some sort of extra acknowledgement. He REALLY made that Swedish man blush rather than mechanically getting the blood to rush to his head. Roisin was clever about it and that deserves the win, but still...
I know it's been a while since this comment, but I suspect we might agree that gravity feeding the blood to your head isn't 'blushing'. Had this been a later series, I think they might have judged this more harshly.
@@claiminglight it'd probably depend on how Greg's feeling. He allowed Morgana to complete a task when her blindfold wasn't on properly yet disqualified Mawaan because a washing machine doesn't count as rolling a marble 🤷🏻♂ (Though in Morgana's defence, I cheated a few school trip activities due to the blindfolds being shit)
Alex’s teacher energy during the live tasks of this first series was amazing. “Get in your tent! Get in your tent! Get in your tent!” “Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!”
Frank Skinner's encounter on the train must have been what inspired James Acaster to his genious line 'Is that a boulder?' in his hit 'Over My Shoulder'.
I believe you were right, if I recall correctly when they talked about James song and that line specifically after you actually see Alex visibly start laughing and turn his head to cover his mouth. I think Alex picked up on the line.
If I were Frank, I'd have actually cashed that check for the full £20k, then mailed it back to Josh in the smallest possible coin denomination, minus the shipping cost.
According to google a 1p coin is 3.5g which would weigh 7000kg or 15,532.35 lbs. Unfortunately I don't know how much that would cost, but you are probably going to need someone capable of doing freight to handle it. So you could put all the coins into large wooden crates or you could put them into a couple hundred 70lbs boxes. In any case it would be a pretty epic troll. I wonder if any super rich people are hiring for fixers that can do this sort of work for them, I'd love to get into that industry. Not sure what it pays, but it would be fun.

Really enjoyed the juxtaposition of Tim trying to lift a boulder with balloons followed by the letter of the next task dropping to the ground via an almost similar amount of balloons.
Maybe he's got a plan. If the other contestants feel bad for keeping something sentimental his wife gave him (and doesn't know he put up as a game show prize), they may return the prizes to him. That way, in the end, he will have all the prizes back!
I love how even if the balloon thing worked, the balloons would eventually pop and someone or their property would just get absolutely smashed by a gigantic boulder
@@TheMariusDarkwolf I doubt that. Mythbusters tested a terminal velocity penny and it was painful but not enough to break skin. The terminal velocity of foam is much lower. It's big but not that heavy and not hard at all.
@@hewhogoesbymanynames have you ever had something dropped on your head? I'll tell you that it'll still mess you up from a sufficient height. Doesn't matter how light. And if it were to drop in traffic well accidents abound
@@TheMariusDarkwolf It wouldn't drop though unless the universe conspired to make every balloon pop at the same time, the balloons would pop individually bringing the prop boulder back down safely.
This is one of my favourite episodes to come back to, mainly because when Frank says he's put his right hand out of action and Tim says he's left handed I always burst out laughing like it's the first time I've heard it lmao
Frank is only worth about 8 million. He lost most of his money in bad investments around 2010. So, what he is worth now is what he has made in the last 10 years. It’s kind of a joke that he would be VERY wealthy now if not for that. I mean, 8 million is great but holy crap, he could be worth soooo much more.

one of the most satisfying aspects of this show is getting to watch alex break character and react to contestants' antics
the best part about this channel is you having built in adrolls you can use
“powerful homoeroticism, I really enjoyed it” had been entered into my lexicon from the day this first aired forward, and I still find places to use it
This show does an excellent job getting you to think outside the box!
Except for Ramesh, he didn't have a box, as I recall.
When I was at school in the 90’s I used to love Frank Skinner, it’s great seeing him on this, he’s phenomenally talented
Who in their right minds sees a boulder and thinks, "Hey, I know how to move this thing! I'll go get my tea cup." I mean, seriously. Also, Josh has the best laugh.
That swedish guy is so CUTE!!
They're Swedish, that's just how it works
Josh goes through every task as though it's personally set to make him as uncomfortable and awkward as possible. Every one is "my worst nightmare."
Love rewatching these and catching the best stuff you missed at first. Turns out Ramesh ain’t that mad. Also he’s a super snuggler😆
This show is my new favorite sport.
