Yeah mate, that’s the Cloud Appreciation Society appreciation enforcer… he follows subscribers everywhere

Ah yeah, blue eyes the colour of the sky, that makes sense.

That's the Watcher, it's his role to see everything

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

Oh yeah, it is as well.

u/NoornunZebra 1d ago

The Watcher sees all. Even your rewatching—especially that.

How could you tell there was a spectre? Was it the spectre of the spectre that gave away the spectre?

5

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

I expect so.

u/ChiefWiggumsprogeny Sam Campbell 1d ago

What are you? Some kind of detective in spectres?

8

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

Only one of medium skill.

A detective in spectres finding a spectating specter's spectre, eyes glowing, specks in the gloom, hidden in the room.

Medium rare, I think.

Well, my abilities are honed when there's a lot at steak.

u/charlierc 1d ago

I think it's the moment they tried to fight James Bond that gave it away

OP was wearing his spectrecles.

You can get them in ecru now.

I am also rewatching. Poor Desky was done dirty by the TM.

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

Really did seem to focus in on him.

u/Expert-Connection120 1d ago

That's LAH's natural form when the Master lets him take off his skin.

Krobus?

Best me to it

u/Dexav 1d ago

That's Toots. The character played a larger role in the pilot version of Taskmaster, but he was abandoned when the show went to series, so all that's left of him is a few fleeting cameos like the above.

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

I'll have to have a look for that.

u/Dazzling_Zone_1736 1d ago

It’s the thing Hugh summoned when he made that eldritch clock out of cake.

3

u/MaxStickies 1d ago

Ah, so you do indeed do what's on the task, but not too much beyond that or this sort of thing happens.

5

u/maikelg 15h ago

He's actually in every season, but they won't reveal that until series 34 where that's needed for a task

u/MaxStickies 15h ago

Ah, Alex playing the long-game with that one.

u/feasib77 1d ago

No Hugh Dennis was in No Time To Die, not Spectre 😉

u/YamiGekusu 1d ago

It's the Hash Slinging Slasher

u/BlazersMania 1d ago

Thats Krobus

u/one_great_city 1d ago

The Eyes of Ibad. Cool that Fremen finally get to see Taskmaster. Their own version is usually just "get the most water from this guy's corpse"

That's just me lol sorry, I'm not very photogenic.

Clearly a human from a million years in the future.

(Babylon 5 might be a bit of an obscure reference these days, I guess.)

It's Rhod Gilbert, practicing for his Creepiest Thing task.

That's the unacknowledged fifth flatmate from The Young Ones.
