Noel Fielding: What is more worrying is that I tried to blow a plastic giraffe off the table. Greg Davies: I don't know, is that uncharacteristic?

Greg Davies: I'm sure the estate of Bobby Moore would be so proud seeing you in that outfit... carrying eight coconuts at a time to a shopping trolley. Josh Widdicombe: Ah... I've missed you.
Greg Davies, Josh Widdicombe (champion of champions 1, episode 01: Wiley giraffe blower) Either throw an exercise ball into the bath or put all the coconuts into the shopping trolley.

You looked so upset when I got that in straight away, like a little child who's spent a year setting up a train track in the loft and then their dad just smashed it to pieces.

It was embarrassing shitting yourself anyway but the worst part is... 'cause my wife's so lovely and so normal, but I remember she went, 'What's going on?', I went, 'I've got to go and buy some pants', and she went, 'Why?', I went, ''Cause I've shit myself', and then she went to me, 'Oh, not again'.

Woo! You've made it, we're done with series 5! C'mon, you know the drill by now. No point in me waffling on.
Well, what is there to say about series 5? In the grand scheme of things I like it a lot. It's all around entertaining and I genuinely can't say I like one competitor more than another or that I mind Greg's scoring, because I don't. And I think series 5 is a nice little palate cleanser inbetween, though of course quite strong on its own merit. Apparently everyone but Nish didn't want to return for Champion of Champions (for reasons which are rather unclear to me), which makes it even more tragic / funny that the man lost by a fucking country mile. He's truly the champion of hearts. When watching series 5 for the first time I think I only knew Aisling and Nish somewhat, but I'm not entirely certain anymore as it's such a long time ago now. Although I feel I should add that whenever I do return to series 5 I somehow manage to forget just how horny Sally is throughout. Which is fucking incredible (and sometimes a bit much for a renowned asexual that I am). Anyway. Oh, and Mark is just... He just looks so sad and lost all the time. When I first watched series 5 I was unaware that Mark and Alex are actually mates and since then I discovered No More Jockeys, but at the time I thought they were sometimes needlessly cruel to him. I genuinely wanted to wrap Mark in a blanket and make him a cup of tea at the look of utter devastation on his face after he received zero points for his solo task. Bob Mortimer is a fucking legend. No need to say more. He came and delivered. Sally confuses the fuck out of me (as mentioned before), but she's incredibly smart and absolutely not above doing the most unhinged shit imaginable. To be honest, I find Aisling's distrust of Alex, whether real or not, quite entertaining. There's something about her which I can't really describe but it works for me. Now, Nish is a God damn disaster and I love him for it. His laugh is going to haunt me for years to come, though it's incredibly infectuous. He is probably one of my favourite kind of competitors: quite competitive, yet utterly useless, but still upbeat throughout and not a sore loser. Actually, this describes I think best why I like series 5. No-one is a sore loser, they do argue sometimes for points, but even if they lose, they still seem to have a grand ol' time there. So yeah, there you have it. It's a solid series with a solid cast and some great tasks. If I have to critise one thing it's that Greg's and Alex's interactions fall flat for me in series 5. I don't really know what it is - and I'm probably forgetting things here, but the only interaction I remember is the "sweet butt" comment from Greg and that's only 'cos I just saw it again. Well, anyway, see you in series 6 Champion of Champions 1!

This is the latest in a series of incidents with Sally where she's made it very clear that erm she wants more sex in her life. And I think it's a bit like fossil fuels and the ozone layer. The time for graphs has stopped and we should huddle together and see what we're gonna do about it.

Greg Davies: [...] What you've produced is a graph that shows the pointlessness of democracy. Mark Watson: Not erm- not just of democracy but of all human endeavour, basically. But to be fair, if people are watching Taskmaster, they realise that already.
