josh: i am absolutely terrified of blowing up balloons.

alex: you idiot. shall we- so it's time to, um...

frank: can i say, we are tightly locked in the lead, and he's asthmatic and he's frightened of balloons. i'm feeling good.

greg: are you more or less frightened of balloons than physical contact with another man?

josh: i'd prefer contact with another man to-

frank: hold on, do we have a choice now? i didn't, you didn't say that before. do we have to tie the end?

The Suspect (1944)

"Don't you think that an innocent man might be more tolerant in the cause of justice?"

"No, I don't. I think an innocent man might behave precisely as I have."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you."

"Why don't you arrest me? Here I am."

"I'd like to, believe me, but unfortunately I can't."

"No, you've run against a blank wall. You take my advice and don't beat your head against it."

Siodmak's direction is unflashy for the most part but there's a couple #of beautifully executed setpieces‚ including Ridges' asshat cop staging an impromptu reenactment of the killing and a tense 'hide the body' #moment involving a mischievous kitten (every film is made ten times better by the inclusion of a mischievous kitten) #more of a character piece than a plot driven noir‚ but i think all the better for that; as a psyche study it's in some ways ahead of the #game in this genre. ymmv of course; @bimbobussy was not overly impressed and found Laughton's character to be too #objectionable to be truly sympathetic...

Regrading Taskmaster: S01E04 Down an octave.

*Score changes in parenthesis.

Prize Task: Most beautiful item.

Tim's trip to Cologne is beautiful, both because the cathedral is stunning and because they actually ended up taking the trip. Romesh's statute might be the only other thing that is actually aesthetically pleasing (depending on your taste for Roisin's cardigan). I can't do magic eyes, but reports are that Josh lied about his prize task because of course he did.

Tim: 5 (0) Romesh: 4 (+3) Roisin: 3 (+1) Frank: 2 (-1) Josh: 1 (-3)

VT 01: Make this ice block disappear as fast as possible.

A task rife with pedantry because it uses the word "disappear" rather than "melt." This leads to the natural question "disappear from existence or sight?" and in the case of the latter, "whose sight?"

Tim throws the thing in the river which is a similar tactic to what worked for Paul Sinha and Iain Stirling in a Series Eight eraser task. I'm inclined to defer to the studio scores because even if we take Tim's definition of disappear, it would have been more elegant to actually conceal the ice from Alex rather than chucking it in the river.

Josh: 5 Frank: 4 Roisin: 3 Romesh: 2 Tim: 1

VT 02: Get to 11 points as fast as possible.

The debut of team tasks and the start of inconsistent scoring. The team points were originally meant to be a split of five. Greg never does this, much to Alex's chagrin. Both teams achieve the task and Frank/Tim solve the puzzle. It's all about time though, so a 3-2 split in favor of the team of three feels right.

Roisin, Romesh, and Josh: 3 (+1) Frank and Tim: 2 (+1)

VT 03: Fill an egg cup with as many tears as possible.

There is an argument that Roisin and Tim should get zero points for not getting any tears into the cup. However, within the four corners of the task, that might just have been the most tears possible for them and they should actually get 2 points for coming in joint fourth.

Frank: 5 (0) Romesh: 4 (0) Josh: 3 (0) Roisin: 2 (+1) Tim: 2 (+1)

Solo Task: Count the beans/rings/grains of rice.

Josh did this one by himself and it infamously won him the series. Solo tasks are inherently unfair but Taskmaster is never about being fair. That said, Josh's efforts were never actually evaluated for accuracy, so no points.

Josh: 0 (-1)

Live Task: Memorize the names of an Australian rules football team.

Everybody got one so everyone was awarded one point. It's purely academic, but because everyone came in joint first, everyone should have received five.

Frank: 5 (+4) Josh: 5 (+4) Roisin: 5 (+4) Romesh: 5 (+4) Tim: 5 (+4)

Final

Frank: 18 (+4) Josh: 17 (+1) Roisin: 16 (+7) Romesh: 18 (+8) Tim: 15 (+6)

Josh originally won the episode largely because he lied about his prize task. I have Frank and Romesh tied with the break going Frank's way for finding Alex faster.

TASKMASTER : SERIES 1 : EPISODE 2 : The Pie Whisperer

I'm back folks and ready for another viewing of Taskmaster. This time it's series 1, episode 2 and it features my favourite episode name, The Pie Whisperer. I like pies, I like whispering, what's not to love about it all? Anyway, my boss is away today so I'm doing this instead of working. I've had some breakfast which included a giant chocolate orange button from M&S (a bad habit I've got into recently) so I'm ready to roll! I still find it unnerving that they do a sort of comedy dig at the contestants when they introduce them because they don't do that going forwards. I'm glad because it does make it more of a panel show vibe and that's now what TM is about. Prize Task: Most Impressive Item.

Tim Key goes first this time and brings in his London Marathon medal from 2009.

Romesh brings in an Arsenal cap that was thrown from the tour bus after the 2001/2002 win. Romesh says he doesn't know which player it came from and Josh says that someone could have thrown it from the other side of the bus which is a fair point! Now we know with hindsight that football things do not go down well with Greg so he's not to fussed about this prize. Greg goes so far as to say when he's King football will be banned! You'd think future contestants would learn from this but there's always someone that brings a football item.

Roisin next and she does a classic Roisin and brings in a massive bottle of champagne! Romesh goes into a hilarious tirade about Roisin being an alcoholic and how we shouldn't be celebrating that.

Josh's prize elicits a gasp from the audience because he brings in the trophy he won on the TV quiz show Pointless. Everyone loves a bit of Pointless so you can see why that would be great. Great bit of back and forth with Greg, Josh and Romesh: Romesh: The whole set up for that is just so that we know that Josh won Pointless...

Josh: No!

Romesh: ...that's the whole reason he put that up there.

Greg: Is that because your hat has been rather downgraded in the last 10 minutes? I imagine, Josh, when you were on Pointless all the money you won went to charity, didn't it?

Josh: Correct.

Romesh: *looks absolute daggers*

A great moment. Anyway, on to Frank's prize offering. He's such a great man, he's brought in a leather hat that you get out of a Christmas cracker because he says it's the only style of hat that looks good on him. He says you can't wear a paper cracker hat all year round because 'the seam is unreliable'. Brilliant. And again we bring it back to Romesh by Greg saying he's impressed by Frank's hat but 'if only you'd tossed it over a bus' like Romesh's Arsenal hat.

Tim Key wins, then Frank's hat, then the champagne, then the Pointless trophy and then of course the Arsenal hat. Bit gutted about the Pointless trophy as that was the only one that got a reaction from the audience.

Task 1: High Five a 55 year old, fastest wins, your time starts now. Oh this is a cracker of a task. So cringe getting them to speak to members of the public in a shopping centre. It's interesting to see what they're like, the awkwardness of having to ask people their age. And we're in for yet more Tim Key shenanigans!

Frank starts off by trying to bring a member of the public into his predicament by saying 'I'm looking for a 55 year old, what do they look like?' just desperately trying to get some help from them. Frank decides to high five people of different ages and see if he's allowed to add them up, he gets enough people but needs a one year old. He looks behind him and there's someone pushing a buggy so he goes running after it. Brilliant editing.

Romesh makes a sign to say he'll give someone £20 if they high five him. After this point he remains almost motionless because I think he thinks that the sign will lure the 55 year olds in, but alas it does not. He manages to pay a 50 year old for a high five after an hour.

Tim Key looks so hilariously ridiculous in his outfit here. It's alright if he's in the house but when he's in a shopping centre he just looks ridiculous, it' brilliant! He's so awkward here, it's almost unbearable to watch. In the end he says he's filming something for Comic Relief and he needs to high five a 55 year old. Cue much discussion from the group! They agree Tim needs to give some money to charity in order to absolve himself. He starts trying to negotiate with Greg to ask how much he'd have to pay to go to 1st place! Task 2: Identify the contents of the pies, you may touch the pies but you may not breach their pastry.

Frank goes first, he is quite quick and took a psychic approach to the pies, just looked at them and said what they might be. This is where the title of the show comes from as he's described as the Pie Whisperer. We get to see the pies opened now to see what's in them:

A picture of the taskmaster, a regular steak pie, frozen peas, toothpaste and marbles (not easy to pick up with a knife and fork).

Romesh and Josh were grouped together. They try smelling and they both see the pies have had the bottoms cut out of them and can see bits and pieces through them so they get some good guesses. Then comes a hilarious discussion, as illustrated by the gif, where Roisin says that they both breached the pies with their eyes! We see later that the pies collapsed for a lot of them so they actually were able to see what was in them.

Next up it's Tim and Roisin. They both ask Alex to breach the pastry for them, but Roisin adds another element of difficulty by looking away while he breaches the pies and looking back to see his reaction to eating them. Tim's reaction when he sees the marbles in the pie is brilliant. Alex eating the toothpaste pie is something I'll never get out of my mind.

Frank has a hilarious moment trying to guess the hot toothpaste pie:

Milk pie

Yoghurt Pie

Extra Strong Mint Pie

Minty Tippex Pie

The final pre-recorded task: Do something that will look impressive in reverse.

NOW. This bring us an iconic TM moment. Romesh and Tree Wizard.

But first we see Josh who is pulling a van while he's lying on a skateboard. Obviously he was being pulled along by the van. Alex says that Josh said that was the most exciting thing he'd ever done.

Tim Key - his is quite dull, he does a jigsaw, but it was cinematically quite nice to watch with the Bond style music.

Frank...well, bless his little heart. His is called 'Push Up and Away' and he basically stands up from lying down without bending his knees.

Roisin's is quite beautiful even though she is essentially just spitting water out of her mouth, but it's got melancholy piano music and it's in black and white so it looked great. And now onto Romesh. TREE WIZARD BACK FROM THE DEAD TO CREATE SOME BALLOONS

It's just brilliant. He's got the balloons there and he's unpopping them, but the song is fantastic. And genuinely it's something that goes round in my head a lot! Roisin and Romesh become joint winners. I thought Romesh should have got the full win but on the re watch I think they both deserved it.

Now we're onto the live tasks. I don't usually like the live tasks because they tend to be a bit of a car crash but let's see what we've got now. They're all shackled to a bench and they've got to crack the code to get themselves out. The clue is it's Alex's weight and Greg's weight. Roisin manages to get herself out first, then Romesh, followed by Josh, Tim and lastly Frank.

Roisin is the winner of the episode and she gets the Pointless trophy! I thought it was a great episode again, I mean they all are really so it's silly me saying that every time but I enjoyed it a lot.
