@@kurtsudheim825 I don't think it could be 'over done'. Like Would I Lie To You has been on for ages, there's so many things you could do with it, it could last for ages. They could even do the same type of tasks again, just changed slightly. It wouldn't matter as each person's/team's take on doing it would be different.
I just realized they could’ve put 4 bricks and 5 balloons in the suitcases. Just acted normal, been flagrant it was bricks, but gotten the points because it wasn’t 5 bricks in the suitcase.
A few science questions about the space thing. I have seen this done by a lot of science teachers before.... 1.) What are the chances that a plane collides with it? I'm sure that's why Air Traffic Control exists, to prevent things like this? Do people have to inform ATC if they want to do this? 2.) Does it go vertically straight up? Surely wind will change its vector. How do you know that the one you release in the UK won't float to Germany or Chile???
The chances of a plane colliding are about the same as a plane colliding with a drone or a party balloon, very low. Planes fly using certain paths for the most part, and there are no fly zones for things such as this where they are not allowed to be released (ie around airports). The trophy is strapped to a weather balloon, which is a quite large, clear or white or sometimes orange balloon, they're pretty hard to miss. As it's falling, a small parachute is deployed, so it's similar to a sky diver, again unlikely to be hit by a plane. As far as letting ATC know, in the US, a NOTAM (Notice to All Airmen) must be filed to properly launch a weather balloon. This lets pilots know that you are launching a balloon. With the direction of payload, the wind will definitely take them. I used to live 30 miles from an NWS launch site and occasionally had them land nearby. Sometimes they can fly for over 75 miles/120kms from the launch site. They're usually tacked by GPS. Hope this helps!
@@ryguy4864 You are a Legend! Thank you!!!! I am surprised it can only fly 75 miles away from launch site. I would expect more... but have no idea why! Something to do with wind....
Unrelated to anything, but weird ideas for Taskmaster casts: 1 - several footballers. I don't particularly even care which ones. 2- Radiohead. Each member individually. Phil Selway may or may not have Clive Deamer do tasks with him if they appear too complex. I'm not yet convinced that The Smile isn't just Thom and Jonny doing a team task. Could alternatively do the Spice Girls, but I have a feeling Radiohead would be more amusing. 3- Just give tasks to random people as they leave pubs and/or stumble into a late night chip shop. contestants likely have hazy or no memory of the tasks while they watch in the studio 4- Who cares, just get Rhod back
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown does Taskmaster. Jimmy vs. Susie vs. Rachel vs. John (again, or maybe Richard Ayoade instead) vs. Harry Hill. Just an hour will do, and then I will die happily. But I'd settle for a series too. Oh, and one of the tasks should be Carrot in a Box.
@@Rosalie1996 me neither, butttt if you ever fancy a podcast off menu with ed gamble and james acaster is the only podcast i have ever stuck at listening. it’s hilarious. if you want a good one to start on my favourite ever is with maisie adam.
@@kakapofan6542 i agree 100%. no one realises just how huge a part alex takes in this show. i also particularly loved this years new years treat, as he just seemed so genuinely excited, especially when talking to rebecca
Mostly just came to complain about access again. We had it, here in Canada, and I watched every episode. Then your corporate overlords decided to restrict the show in Canada. So now I have to jump through hoops to watch the show that helped me get through the beginning of the pandemic. It would be great if I could support the show, but since I don't feel like going through hoops I guess I'll continue to block your clips
That’s exactly what Alex doesn’t want. He made this show for people to try. It defeats the purpose of the losers get a prize for losing. The whole point is to do the tasks correctly and win. He said it would encourage people to lose and that’s why they don’t do a losers of losers.
@@SeantommyE but to qualify as a loser you have to lose a series, which means that people have a kind of incentive to mess up their regular series. Plus I think Alex has said he doesn't like the idea of labelling a bunch of people "losers". It could have been a good idea but I doubt it will happen. Much more likely to see a Champion of Champion of Champions.
its not actually that big deal but it kinda builds up over the years, channels like this loose littlebit of respect and my enjoyment of their content every time they change title and post same videos over and over to collect clicks, same deal with most british tv shows
Anybody else wondering if one day we reach past Series 25, we are going to have Champion of Champion of Champions?
We can only hope so.
Let's hope so ❤️
Since all of the champions of champions would have Greg's head and body, would there be another... member to attach?
And then, Series 125 (absolutely impossible), Champion of Champion of Champion of Champions... And so on, just X5 everytime
@Василий Зеканов except the champions series is 6th in the order, you need 5 champs to have a champions series
the full video of greg's head going to space is so mesmerising
Can you link it?
Legit some of the best weather balloon footage, quality specifically ive seen.
Can we not have Champion of Losers? That way Rhod can come back at least 1 more time.
This sounds like a thing they've actually done.
and Joe Wilkinson.
Never gonna happen, Alex has mentioned that he has no interest in doing a champion of losers.
@@donovanfaust3227 then it is his loss
@@happiestaku6646 Kind of sounds like it's your loss
'James is my Grape Gimp' Nah. drink went flying
Two words I didnt know Id ever see next to each other lol. Its midnight and I burst out like a loon
What is a grape gimp? Well, whatever is speed to be a I guess it's not a real thing
@@kurtsudheim825 Pretty self explanitory, it's like a BDSM role but with grapes.
@@dizzyroach will it's not self explanatory, clearly, but thanks, I think, cause u think I'm getting the image now
I do hope someday there is a Champion of Chaos. It could be Rhod, Nish, David, Kathrine and Loly or some other combination
I love a good weather balloon to the edge of the “edge of space” video. So satisfying.
Champion of Champions has to be at least a two-parter or better yet, an hour and a half long special.
Needs to be a full series. 😂
It was sadly only an hour.
1st one was 2 part I think
@AIF no because it takes quite a few minutes to do the intro and the outro. And it's just more immersive.
@AIF The episodes aren't hour long...? They have around 45 minutes.
I hope that Taskmaster goes on long enough to have a "champion of champions of champions"
No l, as great as it is, it'll be to over done by then

The best part of this is, they are all "sweaty" champions so they know that all of them will try their hardest to win pretty much

TM edit it

ed casually proving the earth is flat and surrounded by a firmament for 5 points
They should do a series on loser of losers, and the goal is to score the least amount of points throughout the series.
It wouldn't work as well. The contestants would just intentionally fuck up the tasks, part of the humour is them trying and failing
That’s exactly what Alex doesn’t want. He made this show for people to try. It defeats the purpose of the losers get a prize for losing. The whole point is to do the tasks correctly and win. He said it would encourage people to lose and that’s why they don’t do a losers of losers.
Nah, if they do loser of losers (which they totally should) it would be framed as a chance at redemption. Which would be great fun.
