| 0:00.0 | Hello, it's Ed Gamble here, the host of the Taskmaster podcast, coming at you with |
| 0:16.9 | dreadful sound quality. I'll explain why. The basics of it are, I forgot to record the |
| 0:23.2 | intro and outro when I should have done and I'm currently in a holiday in Express in Watford |
| 0:30.3 | Junction where I've had to check in for an hour and a half before I get a sleeper train to Glasgow |
| 0:36.5 | and I've just done a gig in St Albans. So in many ways it's the least glamorous evening of my life |
| 0:42.7 | but you know, mainly didn't record the intro and outro when I should have done so now I'm doing it |
| 0:46.6 | into the microphone of my laptop rather than my very professional set up at home. I've got a |
| 0:51.6 | glass of Shira's and a packed of crisps. Actually, I say it's bleak, I'm actually having the |
| 0:56.9 | best night in my life and so apologies for the sound quality. Very exciting Taskmaster podcast |
| 1:02.1 | today. We are of course still chatting about series four and today we are talking about series four |
| 1:09.0 | episode five and we are talking about that episode with Ian Sterling, of course, star of Taskmaster |
| 1:15.0 | in series eight where he was excellent. I love Ian Sterling very much. He is a friend, he is a |
| 1:21.0 | lovely, lovely man. You may know him as a stand-up comedian. You may know him as a children's TV |
| 1:26.5 | presenter. You may know him as the voiceover of Love Island. He's a man with many strings to his |
| 1:31.8 | bows and he's recently written and starred in a sitcom which is starting on Thursday, August |
| 1:38.1 | the 5th on ITV2. It is called buffering. He's written that with Steve Bajair, another wonderful |
| 1:43.2 | comedian and there will be a double episode on ITV2 Thursday, 5th of August at 10pm and then all |
| 1:49.0 | episodes will be available on ITV hub. Now I've seen the first episode. I've got to take a sneaky |
| 1:54.4 | peek and it's excellent. It's really good. I can't wait to see the second episode. Very funny, |
| 1:58.9 | great characters. Well worth your time and he's touring. He's touring his show, failing upwards, |
| 2:05.9 | nationwide from the 14th of September and he's an excellent stand-up comedian so you should |
| 2:09.5 | go and see that. Tickets are at IanDoesJokes.com and that's Ian with another extra i when you're not |
