Haha, the raps were great but i don't believe they were improvised lol.. How did the guy on guitar know what words to shout out at the same time unless they're telepathically connected?? Anyway, i'm pants at maths but i got my first ever countdown numbers round with 316 in this episode so... woo!

The joke Joe makes about Rachel requesting he "push a dog shit through Carol Vorderman's mail slot" (paraphrasing) is because Carol had Rachel's job before her, they make a lot of jokes about Carol getting too old, being jealous of Rachel, etc. so good history to know for future jokes :) (also Carol was in the recent Taskmaster New Year's treat, she was the older woman who you complimented because her jumpsuit looked great on her)

I saw Chris Ramsay live once when he was fairly new to comedy in a small venue. He did a bit at the start of the show where he spoke to people in the front row and one of them was a young woman who told him she was an accountant and he struggled a bit to get a laugh out of her because she was a bit reluctant to tell him about herself so he quickly moved on. The interval arrived and he left the stage for a 20 minute break. This lady apparently tweeted him to apologise for not being funny and told him she'd lied to him about her occupation... Two minutes into the interval he ran back onto the stage unexpectedly, grabbed the microphone, shouted "SHE'S A FETISH MODEL!" and then ran back off the stage.

I think the raps were genuinely improvised. The gentleman with the guitar didn't always know what the gentleman with the microphone was going to say but when he did, he simply combined the powers of context, established rhyming scheme and friendship. If you are looking for something that WAS faked, notice how young Mandy puts her head down when she is working on the words and maths (or math as an American would say). Don't you think it's a little convenient that she puts her head in to the precise position that causes her mouth to be obscured by her microphone? Once you spot that, it's clear what is happening. She is recording the reaction and then dubbing the audio of her saying "sunbeams" and/or "violas" during the editing to make it look and sound like she is spotting the words during the reaction. She doesn't need to worry about the lip sync because her lips are obscured.. How can I be so sure? Well, earlier today, she accidentally uploaded the non-edited version, I watched it before she realised and deleted it. During the bits where her head was down, you could hear her just saying "blah blah blah". She also left the bit in at the begining where she sets up the microphone and, guess what? It's actually her knee!

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao Jeffrey! Thanks for calling me young! 🤗🙌🏻

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao!! That is great. Poor woman! 🤣🤣🤣 And FYI I was so confused until I googled who he was because my mind was picturing Gordon Ramsay 😅🤪

From November I will call you middle aged Mandy.

This was referred to as a "Special" because it was only the 6th of these crossover shows they'd ever done, and they didn't know yet that it was going to become its own thing. The past is strange like that. At the time they were just Specials. I really want to know what the 2nd "Ooo" was during the 441 math question where you were like "Ooo, I'm on 450...Ooo! I'm still on 450," and then laughed in that incredibly charming way that we all love ❤️. What did you realize, but not share? 🤔 (I was going to say something about "GNAKEDPIE", but I don't even need to)

I am sooo glad that you liked my suggestion, its one of my favorite episodes. it's one of the first ones I watched with my husband when we started dating once I moved to America. You should watch the very next episode 9 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown S02E05 - 13 September 2013. its hilarious as well

Idk why we don't count series 0, but we just don't lol. I don't make the rules 😛

Mandy Cane Lane

Mandy Cane Lane

I'm not sure if you already have one of these in the chamber but today I saw series 7 episode 5, with Greg Davies and Miles Jupp - and holy moley 😂 I just wanted to mention it as an option 😁

Hey Mandy! Great! :) I had a look on Wikipedia to be sure (as I know how bad some of these apps are so couldn't trust the Channel 4 one haha) and it said it was S7 E5, but don't spend too long looking if you can't find it :) The guest in the dictionary corner was Holly Walsh, in case that helps :) I hope you're having a fab week! :D

I like that saying, but if I fall among the stars they would just burn me right up. Lol, Also never seen The A-Team, so thank you for that one!

Random question of the day: after yesterday's ouchness what's your favourite meal to make? That's boring 😔😂

Josh

35 mins in while you struggle with the numbers round it took me 5 seconds to work it out: 75 x 4 = 300 + 25 = 325 - 6 = 319 😁😁😁

While I'm here Chris Ramsey isn't a Geordie he's from south shields which is inbetween Newcastle and Sunderland, he's way more famous now and I've seen him multiple times, lovely lad. Been doing a successful podcast now with his wife for years
