Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster Podcast. It is a bittersweet day on the Taskmaster Podcast,

because yes, we're excited to talk about Series 15 Episode 9, but it's Series 15 Episode 9,

which means it's the penultimate episode. It's that gamble here, of course, the host of the

Taskmaster Podcast, but this machine rumbles on. We have plenty of other things to talk about once

this series is done, but let's not wish this time away. This is a great episode, and I'm very

excited to talk to Sally Phillips about this episode. Sally Phillips, of course, an amazing

actor, writer, all of those things, and primarily for our needs. Sally Phillips was one of the stars

of Series 5 of the Taskmaster, a classic iconic series. Sally did some incredible things,

are going on their holidays. So this is Taskmaster Series 15 Episode 9, as discussed by Sally Phillips.

Hello, Ed Gamble, thanks for having me. Oh, of course. Well, very excited to have you on the

podcast. Of course. How do you want me to rank it? It's quite early. It's quite early in the morning.

I'd be impressed if you're excited. No, I'm excited. This is not even my first

thing I've done today, Sally. So this is the best thing in my diary today. That's how excited I am.

Well, it's great to have you on, because you were in Series 5 of Taskmaster, of course,

one of a fan favourite, I'd say. We did have a great gang. I think the other thing that

happened with us, I don't know if anyone else has said this, but they just announced the champion
