Isn't lead sweet? So probably better than concrete, I imagine that's mostly chalky.

Phil was lucky to get away with not putting the lids back on the bins - he definitely wouldn't have won with a disqualification there.

Only one episode left - such a shame, I've loved this series.

Edit: does concrete taste better than lead?

Having that whole thing with the appearing items outside would have been so cruel if someone would have figured it out (only for it to be wrong) but probably only Victoria Coren Mitchell would have solved it.

They must have been laughing their butts off knowing they had this episode in the can.

JV Martzoukas might have followed through! Tied that little guy up and tossed him in a trunk.

The duck task would have driven me insane!

The heist task is one of the best tasks they've had.

That made me think of an idea for an escape room alternative, heist planning! Would be so much fun.

Just finished watching it. Amazing timing for the heist task to be aired after what happened in France.

Everything's on purpose!

I forgot that it says 63 everywhere!

Another great episode. Maisie practically vibrating with rage over the tugging task had me in stitches.

This was a tremendous episode! Some unhinged prize task items. Name guessing in the lab was tremendous. We were cracking up. The Snakes and Ladders game!

Definitely. I think likewise with snakes & ladders, the concept was good but because of the placement of Phil and Ania's snakes & ladders it was over too quickly for four of them. It probably would have worked better for them each to do someone else's board design, rather than all five on the one board.

I think the flour superpower one would have been better if the guys hadn't all snagged their own ducks. Having to deal with something someone else came up with is so much more entertaining.

I hope whoever made the "Ed Gamble getting increasingly angry" compilation is already working on one for Reece.

There's been a few dud tasks this series, the superpower flour one being one of the worst they've ever done, but it's really picking up with the twins task last episode and the horse one this episode. Phil removing the raisins from the wheel and Ania putting it on an olive felt like proper Dave-era taskmaster, before all the extra stipulations were added to every task to prevent lateral thinking.

I like it when Greg can't pretend to be disappointed and/or annoyed by Alex's intro bit.

We were eating while watching that disturbing first task.

Cowcium, cape flaps, jam in a can up a chicken's cloaca - so many options for the episode name.

How did Ania get all of that matryoshka doll stuff set up in just 15 minutes?

I love Joe. He always had this look like he had wandered into set, was told to do tasks, and was too baffled and polite to explain he was lost.

Ania interrogating Phil's bloodline for no real reason has made her my favourite, and the awkwardness of Maisie and Reece's introduction was painfully similar to Joe and Sîan in series 8.

Some seasons I'm not a fan of certain contestants but this season I'm completely all in. Great casting department. They get very pro-social comics. Love this show.

The pea-brained baby horrified me! Loved it!

I can remember on British TV it used to be common for the credits to be squashed into half the space so the channel could advertise the next/another show. It left them unreadable, which was often annoying when you wanted to know e.g. an actor's name.

Of course, nowadays everyone's found the answer on IMDB long before the credits roll.

The Man you’re fighting here is most likely decades of work by acting unions or their equivalent. I agree that I’d like to see the full unobstructed end scenes, but everybody involved in the production earned their place in those credits. It’s there for them, not us.

That was Mantzoukas' condition if he won season 19 (which he did in American points after the exchange rate).
