Not for me, e.g. "remember, remember the fifth of November" is how we remember the date of Guy Fawkes Night in the UK. "Fourth of July", "14th of February", "First of April", etc.

I guess you mean in the States, but perhaps they say it that way because they write their dates M-D-Y.

Oops, I see the YT video's not actually live yet. Anyway...

Brilliant episode. Loved "goat story" and the whole "we were the monsters, weren't we" section: "We've given stuff away in our wills. The clues were there from the very start!" Mathew knows about being a ghost, after all.

Rosie's singing was quite a surprise.

I'd thought of Jason's trick of writing down the words from the task - the second task said words "before opening this task" so you're fine if you copy down the first task.

I would have thought that Jason, as a massive fan, would know there'd be a tiebreaker. Congrats on winning, especially after sinking the "not annoying" task.

I wonder if this news will influence Luigi Mangione's jury.

Also there's that a file on a cloud service might change. E.g. Amazon sometimes updates ebook covers to advertise that there's a show - even for those who have paid extra to have the ad-free option.

E.g. the sticker-type graphic on this and that the title is updated to "The Fires Of Heaven: Book 5 of the Wheel of Time (Now a major TV series)":

Podlet is really useful in this area.

Interesting that then The Taskmaster was the name of the winner, not the overlord. I knew Tim Key and Mark Watson were involved, but I had no idea about others like Mike Wozniak, Joe Wilkinson and Henning Wehn.

Thanks for sharing.

Mathew's tiptoeing doubles up as a decent kangaroo impression.

The music in the wetsuit task reminded us of the South Park theme tune.

Other people finding that long hidden task answers my question from last week (it wasn't just a trap for Jason).

The studio task seemed to suggest that keeping your colour secret was an advantage, but unless someone was being tactical in who they wanted to beat it didn't really matter.

It's a wiki, so there'll always be troll edits.

It's a shame that it looks a bit stupid in Voyager (post title and link are both next to each other and the same) but hopefully it's an outlier.

This reminds me of an episode of Taskmaster where a contestant plans to gain extra time by hitting the alarm in the lift (elevator) but instead of slamming to a halt there's just a little voice message and the lift carries on as usual.

If you upload an image, the URL field is populated with the URL of the uploaded image, so there's not really multiple fields like it appears.

I can definitely change the template, although I won't edit the bot before the next comic which might be any second now.

Bot author here - I thought that the current implementation was a big improvement because it meant you didn't have to load up an external website but I should have known that not everyone would be happy!

Looking at the votes for the comments for and against this idea, it looks like if it went to a vote the current setup would win, but I'll think about how it can be improved.
