Hello and welcome to the Taskmaster Podcast. Yes, you should know what this is by now.

The TV show Taskmaster. It's a fun show where Greg Davis, a Taskmaster, sets tasks for

five comedians, or in this case, four comedians and a producer, and his Taskmaster's assistant

helps out with all tasks. That's Alex Horn, but he's secretly the genius behind it. If

you didn't know those basic things, then you shouldn't be here. Go away, educate yourself

on Taskmaster, watch the episodes, and then come back and listen. This, I'll be honest,

scoring, all of that sort of stuff. But look, guys, sometimes that doesn't happen. Sometimes

we just have a lovely chat about Taskmaster memories. Sometimes we end up talking about

something completely different. It sometimes spins off like life, guys. You can't predict

life. What you can predict is that if you email Taskmaster podcast at gmail.com, you will

be able to send us a question. We will read those emails and we will perhaps pitch your

question to our guest. I'll be telling you next week's guest in the outro to this podcast.

So listen to the podcast, enjoy the podcast, and we'll see you afterwards. This week's

guest is with the brilliant Ben Bailey Smith, aka Doc Brown. I will be calling him Ben during

the episode because that's his name. Doc Brown is his stage name. Yes, that's how he

was known on Taskmaster, but it's the same man. So we will see afterwards after a lovely

chat with Ben Bailey Smith. Welcome, Ben, to the Taskmaster podcast. Thanks very much for

coming on. When was the last time I saw you, Ed? I'm trying to, like, in real life. I don't

mean, like, zoom life. Not that I've seen you on zoom, but it would have been like, it
