It is a privilege to welcome Taskmaster presenters Greg Davies and Alex Horne to a special edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Taskmaster is a BAFTA-winning and International Emmy-nominated comedy entertainment show initially created by Alex Horne. Greg Davies stars as the all-powerful “Taskmaster” who, with the help of his loyal assistant Horne, sets out to test the wiles, wit, and wisdom of five comedians through a series of strange and surreal challenges in what is the most hard-fought and ridiculous comedy entertainment format on TV.   So far, 170 episodes have been produced in the UK as part of a landmark six-season deal with Channel 4 in 2020. The broadcaster recently renewed the agreement for six more series following nine record-breaking series on UKTV's Dave.   Taskmaster has triumphed as one of Channel 4's most popular programs in recent years, coming in as the channel's third most streamed title of 2023 with 2.3 billion viewing minutes recorded across all series watched in the year. The launch episode of the latest series [S17] averaged an audience of 3.2m, with 40% of viewing coming from streaming [0-28 days, all platforms].Watched by a broad multi-generational audience, Taskmaster was Channel 4's youngest skewing series last year, and in terms of audience share of young viewers (16-34) across last year's series on the channel, it was second only to Gogglebox in the coveted 9 pm slot.   Taskmaster was recently crowned Best Comedy Entertainment at the Rose d'Or Awards 2024 and has previously won Best Comedy Entertainment Show at the National Comedy Awards 2022 and 2023, Best Comedy Entertainment at the BAFTAs 2020, and Best Entertainment Programme at the Broadcast Awards 2018, having previously received two more nominations for the Broadcast Awards and recently picking up its fourth BAFTA nomination for the 2023 ceremony.It has also been nominated for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award at the NTA's 2021 and 2022, Best Comedy Entertainment at Rose d'Or 2023, Studio Entertainment at Rose d'Or 2021, Best Entertainment Programme at the RTS Awards, Broadcasting Press Guild Awards, the Broadcast Digital Awards, Edinburgh TV Award, the TV Choice Awards, and Best Returning Format in the International Format Awards 2020.   The original Taskmaster program can now be seen in 120 countries. Over 92 seasons and 921 episodes have been commissioned outside the UK, with local versions now in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Croatia, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Portugal, where it ranked first for most-watched entertainment programs on its channel RTP 1.  The Taskmaster YouTube channel has been hugely successful internationally, reaching over 10.9 billion impressions since its first launch in October 2019. It has just over 870 million views and over 1.6 million subscribers, of which over a third are from North America. The channel has had over 196 million hours of content viewed, with 56% of those hours from North America (108 million hours watched). The show has grown significantly in popularity with American audiences, and over the last year, there have been 123 million views.   On this special edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Greg Davies and Alex Horne spoke about Taskmaster's tenth anniversary on television, previewed the Series 19 opener, and why they brought the series to the United States.Let's connect on social media: A) BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jacobelyachar.bsky.socialB) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JacobElyachar/C) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobelyachar/D) Threads: https://www.threads.net/@jacobelyacharE) Twitter (X): https://x.com/JacobElyacharF) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JacobElyacharBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In this episode, we delve into the quintessential British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, created and written by Roy Clarke. Airing on BBC1 from 1990 to 1995, this beloved show captivated audiences with its witty portrayal of suburban snobbery and eccentricity. We explore the origins of the series, the inspirations behind its characters, and its impact on British comedy. From Hyacinth Bucket's infamous pronunciation of her surname as "Bouquet" to the hilarious antics of her dysfunctional family, we examine what made this show a timeless classic. Hyacinth Bucket, brilliantly portrayed by Dame Patricia Routledge, is the heart of the series. Her relentless pursuit of social status and her comically disastrous attempts to impress her neighbors form the core of the show's humor. We discuss Routledge's illustrious career and how she brought Hyacinth to life, making her one of the most memorable characters in British television history. We also touch upon the other key characters, including Hyacinth's long-suffering husband Richard, her sisters Daisy and Rose, and their quirky father. The show's success wasn't limited to the UK. Keeping Up Appearances found a dedicated fan base in the US, Canada, Australia, and several European countries. We explore its international appeal and how it became BBC Worldwide's most exported television program by 2016. Through interviews with cast members, fans, and television critics, we gain insight into why this show resonated with viewers across the globe and how it continues to be beloved by audiences today. We also examine some of the show's most iconic episodes and moments. From Hyacinth's disastrous candlelight suppers to her encounters with the nervous postman and the bemused vicar, we relive the scenes that had audiences in stitches.  With its sharp writing, memorable characters, and timeless humor, Keeping Up Appearances remains a shining example of British sitcom excellence. Join us as we celebrate this iconic series and its enduring charm. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives.   New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays.

Ryan felt we needed to lighten things up and dive back into some digestible fluff that he could get into his snarling teeth. But kinda what we found was that he's been tamed slightly. No longer has the pretentiousness of cinema's past enveloped his dark soul now that he's found the work of Nick Hurran. Yes. Nick. Oh, sweet Nick. This man knows what he's doing with this (one of his many "body swap" films in his filmography). This happens to be one of the better examples. Now, it's no BIG. It's no FREAKY FRIDAY. It's VIRTUAL SEXUALITY: the spunky British comedy with plenty of that late 90's style and lack of taste that the early 00's also brought. But hey, it's nostalgia. You kinda had to be there. (Also, Ryan remains unchanged.)

Tatty Macleod's videos tackle the idiosyncrasies surrounding booty calls, Parisian chicness, French waiters and British binge drinking. She's performed across Europe and is a regular at some of the biggest clubs in the UK, including the Comedy Store and the Glee Clubs. Tatty Macleod launched her debut show "Fugue" at last year's Edinburgh Fringe to sold-out audiences and is still touring with it.
