I don’t normal watch or listen to podcast but y’all are enjoyable. I have been a follower of your stuff for a long while now and really enjoy the content. You have inspired me to take on German as a language! Thank you for all your content
I found you today. I have been going through your shorts. I couldn't stop laughing at the short with the baby crying and you reading Der Struwwelpeter. I am born and raised here in the USA. My parents were immigrants and I couldn't speak English until I was 5 and started school. I have this book and I love showing this to friends. They can't believe that this is read to children. It is a classic! Love your channel!
My favourite German quiz show is "Wer weiss den sowas?" with Kai Pflaume, Elton and Bernhard Hoecker. Bernhard and Elton are usually paired with a celebrity each and then they need to answer tricky knowledge questions (multiple choice). It's very interesting but also quite hilarious because there's quite some banter between Bernhard, Elton and Kai going on.
I think it could work if the right channel picks it up and if they pick the right people for both the Taskmaster and his assistant, and for the first season's panel. I can imagine a German version with e.g. Anke Engelke as the Taskmistress and Bastian Pastewka as her assistant. However, strictly speaking, this is a panel show and not a "normal" game show, and I feel like the comedy scene is not as popular and big here as it is in the UK. (My view might be a bit warped here as I used to live in Edinburgh for a while.) And the fact that e.g. the cast of German LoL keeps repeating itself, I think they might run out of good options for people to get on the show after just a few seasons. In general, panel shows are just a much bigger thing in the UK. In Germany, we have Wer spielt mir die Show. Other shows with celebs are usually single special episodes or stuff that is filmed in one day such as LoL. Also, it usually is not merely about the honour of winning some trophy but has a charity prize money attached to it. So again, how willing would German comedians (and other celebrities) be to participate in a German version of Taskmaster and to go all out on the tasks? Then again, it has been successfully adapted in several countries internationally, so why not Germany?
@@ElisabethOrchard I only remember one really successful German panel show - Genial daneben. But we would have a lot of comedians here for a show like Taskmaster. Just look at Last One Laughing. I don't think there is another country that already has that many LOL seasons so far. I don't know why RTL didn't have the guts to try Taskmaster, just one never-aired pilot with Atze Schröder as the host. I could imagine Torsten Sträter sitting on the throne. But you never know if it works until you try - and it also could fail as it did in the US. They seem to like the original series there, but not the American version.
The UK TV industry was apparently extremely good at licencing out tacky and cheap game and reality show formats. However, the Dutch were pretty good at it too. Big Brother is probably the prime example (although the inspiration is from George Orwell's novel 1984). Nb. Where does the impression that the UK does not have much in the way of farms come from? A look at the statistics shows that the UK has about 209,000 farms, whilst Germany has 255,000. More certainly, but then it is a considerably larger country with a higher population. 72% of UK land is used for agriculture, 55% in Germany. Britain, and the world's longest running soap opera, The Archers, is a radio drama series set in a farming community, with over 20,000 episodes in its 73 years of existence.
probably because there is zero exposure to British farming in Germany. Basically every country has farming (some more/less than others), hence why few countries are stereotypically known for farming. The American grain belt or Chinese rice fields spring to mind, but I personally (for example) don't have any immediate stereotypical farmers in mind for most other countries.
@@pixelmaster98 Economically speaking, it's not a hugely important sector in either Germany or the UK, but I would argue plays quite a large part in the sense of historical identity in both cases. The countryside does get romanticised of course, but I chose to retire into a small town in rural countryside which is, by coincidence, just 6km from Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat establishment, in part because of the sheer joy of being able to step out into the dense network of footpaths across the local farmland. In any event, Liam grew up in the UK.
Eine meiner Lieblings-Quizsendungen ist der Quiz-Champion im ZDF. Ist immer sehr interessant, man spielt Duelle gegen prominente Experten und wenn man alle Duelle gewinnt, gewinnt man 100.000 €, wenn man der einzige Kandidat in der Sendung ist, der das schafft, sonst gibt es ein Finale. Ich war da auch schon beim Casting, das Team ist super, bin aber leider knapp nicht genommen worden, will es aber nochmal probieren
It's hard enough being married to someone who is from the same country/language, I can't imagine the difficulty of miscommunicating with a mate from a different country/language/culture. You guys rock!
It's more like you have more to tell, and used to forgive errors more easily. Expectations what the others know, are lower. So you are more explicit, more talky. It's an advantage.
I‘m British married to a German living in Germany too and it’s actually easier because you’re never bored and you always give each other the benefit of the doubt. I recommend it:)
@@ElsBels25 the lack of compliments is hard. I’ve learned to love the directness because you know where you stand without having to guess if people really mean what they say. If I ask what people think of my new haircut I get their true opinions. If you don’t want them then you shouldn’t ask for them:)
Does anyone ever actually eat those ginger bread things with text on them? They’re actually disgusting and hard and sometimes they just sell you ones that are several years old.
Liam as a Brit i love your shorts they are very interesting, but being honest I only watch your full length videos because of how attractive your wife is. Keep up the good content!
Germans love Quiz-Shows, they proof their own knowledge. The chase is so successfull, cause they have 20questions in 2 minutes, not these 10 questions per hour at WWM. And learning is fun. Who finally wins is less important I think. I heared from several people, Germans hate this scripted "declaration of war" at the beginning of each show. You said several times, British people love somebody beeing mean. Kind of scary. Maybe that's why Wipeout didn't work out either.
The chasers used to be just as mean and not moving any muscle in their faces. But they changed that after they realised that the audience seems to appreciate that bit of fun more.
We love British quiz shows. Pointless is a brilliant show (the opposite of Family Fortunes more or less) but only lasted one season in Germany. They changed it too much, in my opinion. Big loss.
Stephan Raab had a bunch more TV shows, many sports related (Wok WM etc). And there’s a lot of shows on the public(?) tv channels, some of which are unique to Germany Wer weiß denn sowas? for instance.
With a word like "put" you would get the funniest UK-DE mismatches. Cause there is no 1:1 translation. Generally English has a huge amount of 3-4 letter words, German is about 70% longer for your scrabble thing there.
with all the many botched attempts in adapting a british (or dutch) format, it left me a bit confused why there was never an attempt in making a Version of "Would i lie to you"
19:45 about adding an extended title in their own language after the original title of an imported film/TV show... Japan does that too. and I often find them cringy 😂
Apparently 'the Chasers' also exists in the Netherlands but then it's called 'beat the champions'. That doesn't make sense to me, if you keep it English, why change it? Weekend Millionaires is what we call "wer wird Millionär", it's here airing for ages and with the same guy but it is not a big thing. I know Gunther jaugh, the woman with the cat that doesn't want to say anything is hilarious 😂 also the bake off "Heel Holland Bakt" is something big in NL.
Probably because they wanted to simplify it for a Dutch audience. The average person wouldn’t know what a chaser is, so they wanted to avoid people getting confused seeing that title. But they still wanted to keep it English because English sounds ‘cool’ and the ‘Beat the…’ title does sound catchy. And that way they wouldn’t have to be creative and come up with an original Dutch name. It’s just easy and convenient to change the one word. This is my guess, but I’m willing to bet I’m pretty spot on.
Lived in Bad Fallingbostel 2009 , one morning woke up to air raid sirens 💩 my self ran to the window , genuinely thought world war 3 started . Looked out everyone else totally fine , totallly normal . Me - casually processing and thinking WTF. Zero warning from anyone that they have alarms , it’s a regular and normal thing.
Gino is hosting Family Fortunes? As in Gino D'Acampo, the Italian thief?! The rewind was nasty, she actually said doors way before that, haha! But I'd bet they won't bring Family Feud (that's the original, isn't it?) back in Germany, cause apparently they already tried to revive it several times and it never lasted very long. I never really watched it, found the people way too cringy. There's no other versions of Countdown with maths, each regular episode has 11 letters and 3 maths rounds, or something like that, I only watched one episode but I watched every episode from the comedy spin-off '8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown' dozens of times. Did you know the original is much older than the English one? It's from France, called 'Des chiffres et des lettres', running since 1964, I think. I'm sure they wouldn't have ä,ö,ü in a German version, it'd be handled with ae, oe, ue, like in Scrabble, just the appropriate number of each letter in the selection has to be adjusted. Proper nouns aren't allowed in the English version but as 'Hugo' has become the name of a drink in German it could be I guess, don't know if it's in the dictionary yet. The reason they never attempted any German version is probably because we had a bunch of other shows with letters and words throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s, or they thought the whole concept of the game is a bit too dry, personally I really liked slow calm shows. Btw, how dated is that 'Wer wir Millionär' app?! Francois Hollande isn't president anymore for quite a while, almost 8 years! Joko&Klaas? Ant&Dec? You can't be serious? Is there a word for 'Geschmacksverirrung' in English? I don't remember. The best game show host in England is Jimmy Carr! In Germany I don't care anymore frankly, haven't watched anything in ages.
29:25 Äh? 'Bauer sucht Frau' bedeutet 'Farmer's looking for a girlfriend'? Also, "Freundin" auf Deutsch bedeutet "friend" und "girlfriend", das hab ich schon verstanden. Verwirrend, aber klar, ich kann es. Aber jetzt bedeutet "Frau" auf Deutsch "wife" und "girlfriend"? Durfen die Deutschen nie wissen, wer in einer Beziehung ist? Deutsch ist verrückt! 😭
@zak3744 Die Unterscheidung ist "eine Freundin", "meine Freundin". , so "a friend" vs. "my friend". Wenn man verheiratet ist, wird "mein Freund" zu "mein Mann". The "my" makes it an ownership. "possessive pronoun" says exactly that.
Es ist ein wenig anstrengend euch zuzuhören. Eine von euch beiden ist ein wenig schnell mit reden und dazwischenquatschen. Völlig verständlich in einem normalen Gespräch, aber bei einem Potcast... Vielleicht besser wenn Liam zuhört. 🤭

What about "Genial daneben"?
My first watch and I’m already in love with these two
We need more of these sit down and talk videos from both of you!
He should come to the point though
danke für den Podcast, Valerie und Liam👍👍
Oha ich habe Liam auf deutsch gelesen
You guys are an amazing couples I hope you keep striving on YT, very entertaining stuff !
I'm currently binging Taskmaster and can't imagine a German version of it. An RTL version could only be absolute garbage.
ZDF would be able to do it maybe. Love it, too!

AFAIK there was a pilot with Atze Schröder but never aired.
For probably all the reason mentioned here.
Behave. They'd be able to make a race car out of paper and a plastic cup 😂

„8 out of 10 cats does countdown“ is the best
Did her so dirty, she said doors already at 16:10
Love hearing his accent coming out in her.

Richard Osman's House of Games is excellent. And Cats does Countdown is hilarious and includes the games, too.

I just watched a video about 'You Bet!' which was based on German game show 'Wetten, Dass’. The channel is ‘Back in the Day’.
My favourite British game show is Only connect, I'm glad I discovered it when I lived there
Same! I’m horrible at it though, I fare best with the missing vowels usually.
I would sooo watch a show hosted by you two ! :D
It's hard enough being married to someone who is from the same country/language, I can't imagine the difficulty of miscommunicating with a mate from a different country/language/culture. You guys rock!
Most Germans speak pretty good English 🙂 The worst thing would be the direct/indirect communication between brits and germans.

The Pirate Gameshow was "Entern oder Kentern" that was similare to Takeshis castle

You two are fantastic love your podcasts 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Why are you two so adorable
I'm glad to see Liam was dressed appropriately.
"Wer wird Millionär", is my favorite TV show.😊

Best quiz show host is an Jeremy Clarkson - final answer.
Facts.
nothing better then germans and english........together

Ok RTL, Pro7 or whatever, make Liams Shows a reality!
I want a German version of Taskmaster with Joko & Klaas!!!!! 😊😊😊😊
Hey Liam
I saw your name on the setlist of „Keine Scheidung ohne Leiche“ by ZDF
Are you part of that movie?
The shows are mostly created by Endemol from the Netherlands.
Riesenrad ... isn't it Ferris Wheel in english? Not certain.
The UK chasers are cruel but they're funny and tongue in cheek.
Zusammenarbeiten 😃
Backoff is like Danceoff/Singoff/standoff meaning a competition
Countdown without Rachel Riley and Jimmy Carr just would not work anywhere else on earth!
Stephan Raab had a bunch more TV shows, many sports related (Wok WM etc).
