It's Ed Gamble here, as it always is.

I just live in a little room watching Taskmaster, and every week they let me broadcast my thoughts.

And what a lot of great thoughts I have about this episode

another great episode we're halfway through the series

can you believe it it happens so quickly

but we have another fantastic guest to discuss episode five

and that fantastic guest is the wonderful joan mcnally

she's absolutely storming this series

if you'd not heard of Joanne before, I'd imagine

she's a complete revelation. Hugely brilliant. So we're looking forward to chatting to Joanne.

It'll be my first time speaking to Joanne, in fact. Our paths have never really crossed

before. But the thing is, we're doing this podcast is you watch the episode so many times.

You really feel like you know someone. So I can't imagine it being an awkward chat.

This is Taskmaster, Episode 5 of Series 17, as discussed by Joanne McNally.

Welcome, Joanne, to the Taskmaster podcast.

Thank you, Ad. It's lovely to be here.

Very excited to have you here.

We're going to be talking about Episode 5, but first of all, we should talk about Taskmaster in general.

You're a brilliant contestant. You're doing incredibly well.

Had you seen much of the show before you agreed to take part? And I think I might know the answer to this. There are some suggestions in the tasks that you perhaps hadn't seen a lot. Yeah, well there was definitely a lack of strategy on my part all around, really.

It was very much thrown shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
