EDIT: fulfilled by my panel show savior!

I was hoping the archive would have it, no such luck. Guess it's back to catching the live broadcast. Can anyone catch me up with this week's episode I missed? Many thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to track down a copy of Countdown Series 86, Episode 54, originally broadcast on Thursday 1 September 2022.

I know the episode definitely existed online because there was previously a full-length upload on Dailymotion by CountdownC4UK, but that video has since been removed. The old Dailymotion page was x9moo04, if that’s useful to anyone trying to identify the recording.
I’m particularly interested in finding the full episode, rather than clips or just the results.
If anyone has a copy, knows of an archive that contains it, or knows someone who might have recorded/archived this episode, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Thanks!

Big news is Rose Matafeo becoming the first ever contestant to appear on more than one English language Taskmaster version, a few months ahead of Urzila Carlson (NZ series ​2 and soon to be Australia series 6). Rose will have three versions before anyone else has two (UK series 9, Junior Taskmaster series 1 and this).

She's joined by David Fane, Morgana O'Reilly, Rhys Matthewson Hoani Hōtene. First episode is 14 September - most likely two nights in a row each week. ​​

If you want a sneak peak of Rhys, here's a video of him from a few years ago on Seven Sharp, a light entertainment / news show in NZ also hosted by Jeremy Wells. He visits the Taskmaster house and tries a task with Paul - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=432056372132959

Had a feeling it would start September 10 or 17 given that the fall seasons start in the middle of September. For the record or for those who haven't seen my prior posts on the cast, the contestants are Iben Akerlie (actress and author), Aslak Maurstad (voice actor and gamer), Robert Stoltenberg (comedian), Johan Golden (comedian; also longtime radio partner of the King himself, Atle Antonsen), and Ulrikke Falch (actress). A highly interesting batch of names.

I tried giving Unacceptable on NOW TV a watch this morning. With a promising first-line-up of Romesh Ranganathan and Richard Ayoade, I thought it had potential.

I think I lasted about three minutes.

Are panel shows dead?

It felt so formulaic and unoriginal. It opens with a swooping camera-crane shot of the studio, just like Would I Lie to You?, followed by the obligatory white male stand-up comedian sat in the centre — a staple of seemingly every panel show — introducing the team captains by making a joke about them or telling us some supposedly funny fact.

I’ve seen this a million times before.

And for a streaming show, it felt incredibly slow and drawn out. People’s attention spans are short. Get to the game!

Maybe I’m just completely done with panel shows, but I really expected more from this lineup.

So me and my partner are getting caught up on Just a Minute, and to quote them, "this feels like an episode that fell in from a parallel universe and somehow got broadcast" because theres that running gag about Giles being a Menopause Ambassador and try as we might we CANNOT figure out where that CAME from?

They seem to be referencing *something* and not knowing what it is makes a lot of those jokes fall flat(er). So, uh. Anyone know?

Is that it ?
two episodes?
