Jenny Eclair

Good morning.

Good morning to you, Jenny.

Good

morning to you, Judith Alder.

Oh, no, not me.

No, no, no, no. I'm sure there aren't any colours anyway.

There's a much more serious bike than that, Jenny.

I mean, really.

there is absolute commitment and there is playing

the game certainly i think i think they've they've they have they have rode their luck yeah especially especially as you say in the live tasks they've they've got they've won out quite a few of those that are basically luck um but a lot of it is just yeah as you say it's just a complete understanding of what they want to do i will say and this is something we can get into stats wise later um so chloe is incredibly be dominant the biggest lead we've ever had after seven episodes um in terms of just filmed tasks uh Nina is still in the lead which is a very strange thing that I didn't realize until I really dug into it but Nina is eight points in the lead in film tasks um and Nina that i mean that's that's never really happened before we've never had someone who has been as dominant as chloe and yet not been in the lead in film tasks there have been times where the contestant who has won the series hasn't also won in film tasks but like they've been closer series like i think sophie juku was one and um andy saltzman was another but we've never had someone who's been 19 points clear and yet still not winning the film tasks um and that i will say and we'll get into it now i suppose with the prize task that is because nina has had almost half as many points uh in the studio as Chloe like Nina is a god lover she's a great competitor absolutely brilliant is very bad at prize tasks is very bad at live tasks and I don't know why that's happening but before they went into the studio before the contest went to the studio it seems like Nina was potentially in the lead which is mad mad

Well, not mad, but it turns out to be wrong.

That's just, that's for you.

It didn't, it looked like, I don't know, in a way, and this is probably because I'm- It looks like a

binge eater's problem.

yes it didn't it it there's something quite odd about unwrapping a bunch of chocolate bars and putting them on a plate i don't know if that makes if they've been in the in the wrapper maybe that would have made more sense but it was like it's sort of they're all out in the open it's like oh god someone's got to eat this i found it quite stressful in a way um but i did i did like the fact that greg kind of off so often you'd think with greg and we've had it in this series before uh with uh chloe bringing in the carrot bar uh you would think with greg Oh, bring in chocolate because he loves chocolate because he's a big man.

Greg does not like it when people do that.

Good morning, Daisy.

Hello, Jenny.

Good morning, good morning.

It's been a bit of a chaotic start.

Yeah.

And then we got on the machines and I could see he lost interest after about the second one.

But it's such a palava, Jenny, honestly.

You've got to put, you've got to download two apps.

Do you think

Nina's doing a Jenny Eclair?

I mean, if you were looking for a similar trajectory in a series, tragically, it would be you.

It would be your series, which is not, I mean, it's sad from Nina's perspective, but it's not sad from, you know, you've, you've, you had a great career in Taskmaster and she's had a great time on Taskmaster as well.

And they're not going to

take their foot off the pedal either, are they? I don't think so.

I don't think they're going to do Jenny Eclair.

I don't think they'd

And we're only able to do what we do now and have the sort of success and the...

And belief of an audience when we step on stage that we might actually be all right at our job because of the likes of Shappi Korsandi, Ruby Wax, Jenny Eclair, Jo Brand, Catherine Ryan, you know, I mean, Catherine Ryan a bit later on, like all of these people.

who for so long were like the one person booked on a panel show or like the only person visiting a theatre that year or probably not even the only woman visiting the theatre that year, but the only one that gets

their headshot put on the blooming wall.
