Summary
It's time to revisit Series 2 and who better to join Ed and kick things off but none other than potato throwing, non Swedish speaking, comedian and actor Joe Wilkinson! Ed gets to the bottom of 'that throw', they discuss why Joe would do it all the same again and there's also some non Taskmaster stories thrown in for good measure! Enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster podcast. It is a new dawn in the world of the Taskmaster |
| 0:19.8 | podcast because we are starting to chat about series 2 of Taskmaster. I'm your host |
| 0:25.2 | Ed Gamble. I hope you joined us for the ride through series 1. If you don't, or didn't, |
| 0:31.8 | if you don't, join us. Don't worry, you can go back and you can listen to all of those |
| 0:36.4 | episodes and maybe watch the attached Taskmaster episodes with those as well. A lot of people |
| 0:42.9 | are doing that. It's really hard to me to see that a lot of people are watching along with |
| 0:47.5 | me and they're listening to the podcast. It really makes me feel like we're all in this |
| 0:52.1 | together, which is what we need at the moment. But we're starting on series 2 today very exciting, |
| 0:57.5 | no longer filmed in the Clapham Grand, just made to look like the Clapham Grand. Apart from that, |

| 1:28.0 | Here's the only person we could get to talk about this episode. Absolutely the only choice, |
| 1:34.6 | which if you know the episode, you'll know why there is an infamous moment in this episode, |
| 1:39.4 | which is really, I mean, it goes into the Taskmaster Hall of Fame. I think a lot of people would say |
| 1:45.5 | this is the thing that really got them hooked into the show. You can't really talk about |
| 1:50.8 | Taskmaster without talking about this moment. What is it? If you don't know, go and watch the episode, |
| 1:55.8 | you'll absolutely realise. We'll be talking about that with Joe, of course, as well as the rest of |
| 2:00.2 | the episode, Taskmaster in general. And you know what, it's Joe Wilkinson, we'll probably get off |
| 2:05.0 | track. I don't know how up for deconstructing the episode he's going to be. You might just be |
| 2:10.4 | up for a dumb chat, which I'm also open to. Obviously, check out Taskmaster YouTube, youtube.com for |
