I definitely saw Dara's swan/goose in that team's canvas. It was just sort of a 3d line drawing and facing into the camera with a downward and left bearing.

The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Has Brexit hit so bad that a Channel 4 show can just rent out half of Gatwick Airport for the afternoon? What's going on there?

Good first episode, the team of three looks like it might be utter chaos. It seems a bit too early to be making predictions, as the only "normal" task was the loo roll one which they all basically attacked in the same way, but I've got high hopes for Sarah.

The south terminal was closed from June 2020 till late March this year, due to less travel during the rona. So they seem to have snuck in just before reopening.

People say the Glaswegian accent can come across as very aggressive: I would contend that the West Lothian one has the edge over even it. Fern sports a particularly fine example of it.

I have high hopes for her having a rager at Dara on a team task, or Alex when he's being unhelpful, she comes across as very direct and not one to suffer bullshit or evasiveness.

Yeah, very strong first episode. Dara and Sarah were of course great. I hope we get a "Zimbabwe" compilation sometime in the season.

We've already seen a dead horse
Fern Brady looked shat off with Dara in studio as well as during the tasks. Is this another Rhod/James or Richard/Daisy situation? I’ve only ever seen clips of Dara and never heard of Fern before this, so I don’t know what their deal is. She just didn’t look impressed with him at all.

Very nice first ep, hopefully the cast will get more comfortable in the studio. Or more fighty. Gaaah, Scottish women :3:

She says in her special that was linked here that she doesn't know how to interact with people, so I wouldn't read too much about it without any further information.

Just in that interview with Alex they posted today she keeps sounding like she's going to start looking for a bottle to smash over his head.

Having flown threw Gatwick’s south terminal last week, this ep was properly surreal. Those segments must have been filmed way back before March when it reopened.

I was surprised no-one attempted to throw the loo rolls while holding one end so they could pull them back, or even ask for string or something/one to retrieve them.

Yeah I was thinking like attach a sock or something to the end and try and lower it down slowly but maybe it was too far from the edge, feels like there must have been some technique you could use

Loo rolls are not exactly known for their strength once unfurled, nonmatter what the puppies make you think.

That said it probably was too restrictive to make them stay on the marker. Just don't let them leave the level they were on and dot random supplies nearby would have encouraged different methods.

The loo roll task was basically like the egg one but less frustrating. But also less flexible.

Referring to a task as "the egg one" is not very descriptive in the show.

I don't know him from anything, so with his whole demeanor it kind of felt like they'd abducted a random guy from a parking lot and press-ganged him onto the show.

He's Sara Pascoe's comedy sidekick on a panel show called 'Guessable' on some cable channel or other. It's not very funny and he contributes a lot to that imo.

You may have seen him in character sometime, with false buck-teeth and a monk's hairwig. Not a fan of character comedy myself. I think he's mostly a writer.
