Almost certainly economies of scale/don't fix what isn't broken? They can piggy back off the knowledge that the Kiwi show runners/crew have, rather than taking the risk of doing something from the ground up themselves. I believe the studio segments were done in Oz.

I guess if you're using the same crew and equipment you don't want to move it all to Australia. But still, using the same house is kinda lame. It's the TM house, not the TM cohouse. :goonsay:

I like what I'm seeing from the Taskmaster so far, giving off a different vibe from Greg too which is good cause I don't think he'd pull it off otherwise. I wonder how the assistant is going to play things since they don't really show him doing anything.



And the point is we get more Taskmaster. :colbert:

It's tradition for Australians to steal stuff from New Zealand, much like they do already with desserts. Taking the entire Taskmaster house is rather on brand.

Clearly little Alex Horn is trying to turn the NZ house into THE Taskmaster master compound where he;s going to bugout there and be an assistant to whoever becomes TM of the post end world.

I do appreciate that the Australian TM has scheduled itself in the one season currently devoid of English-language TM. If the pattern of Oz / UK / NZ / UK keeps going then that's going to be a nice year-round schedule.

This was actually fantastic. It was really well done, even with the lost video work. Great humour, great tasks. You nailed the overall feel of the show. I hope you'll do some more one day! :D

Thanks to both of ya! I know its a significant time investment to watch the whole thing so I truly appreciate it. As for making more, I've said never a few times but also I can't stop thinking about things I'd want to do next time whenever I try to go to bed, so its possible at some point that part of me wins out and I can't help but consider it seriously.

A new series of Kongen Befaler, with a new TM, aired last night. Comments by those who speak Norwegian is positive. The official YouTube channel posted the prize task (thing that makes you tough) but without subtitles...

The first episode of Kongen Befaler was pretty good, started a bit slow and then improved a lot. Except for the studio task which I though wasn't all that.

While anyone interested waits for an episode translation, I translated the task Bård can be seen writing during the opening:

Bård posted:

Mash the green grape without damaging the red grape. Fastest wins. Time starts now. You cannot mash any grapes other than those lying on this table, nor leave the room before the task is complete. You should be certain that you're mashing the correct grape before mashing the green grape. Once you have mashed one grape, you cannot mash the other. The task is solved once you have mashed the correct grape unless you have already mashed the red grape, which is the wrong grape in this task.

They actually filmed it a year ago as a backup plan because Atle Antonsen doing something really stupid while really drunk was very real scenario.

I haven't seen it, but I would guess that when the contestants were filming they thought they'd be doing it with the old taskmaster. It probably wouldn't be too hard to edit around anyone saying the name of the Taskmaster if they happen to do so.

In the various series across the world, contestants have mentioned the bits at the house being filmed anyhwere from 4-6 months before the studio bits.

Also, apparently the studio segments were still being filmed when the first episode aired - it was about a 3 day turnaround between filming and airdate.

Now I can't help but take it as a safety measure every time a task reads "buy a gift for 'the taskmaster'". Just in case Greg gets drunk and says something about unisex toilets.

Granted, the gigantic portrait of Greg in the living room would give the editors more of a headache.

It's actually trivial to edit out with modern editing software. See also: the American broadcasts of 'The Great British Baking Show', where due to some licensing issues or whatnot, they had to digitally change the name of the show on all trophies.
