Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast. It is the day that many of us have been waiting

for, where I have to discuss Series 9 which I was on. It's going to be an interesting

one. I'm going to try and be as objective as possible, but sometimes my competitive nature

might sneak in and also my self-hatred might sneak in as well. But I will try and remain

as calm as possible while we are discussing this series and try and remember that I won

anyway, so there's no point trying to argue the toss on certain things. But I'm very much

looking forward to watching this series back and chatting about it with people who are

on the series, people who are not on the series, and I'm sure that this will end with

me having less dignity than I did even after we filmed it. But very exciting, we are talking

about Episode 1 today of course, because we do things in chronological order, we're wacky

like that. And today our special guest to talk about Series 9 Episode 1 is Drumroll,

it's David Badeel. It's David Badeel of course, who was on the series, who was fantastic

on the series, who was also technically wofull on the series, but a real firm favourite

in Tussmaster history for screwing up I think more than the majority of contestants.

Very excited to chat to David to talk about his memories of the series, what he enjoyed

about the series, what he's proud of from the series, what he's less than proud of on

the series, always fun to chat to David, very much looking forward to it. Let's get on

with it, this is Series 9 Episode 1 of Tussmaster, as discussed by David Badeel.

Welcome, David Badeel to the Tussmaster podcast. Hello Ed Gamble, it's a pleasure to see you.

It's such a pleasure to see you, I'm very excited that we're finally going to start

talking about Series 9, which many people are calling the best series of all time of

any television show. Yeah, I'm calling it that. Good. I'm the many people you're talking
