Righto, I've emailed channel four and nothing. Nada. Zilch.

So, watching Taskmaster. Current Season, Episode 5. (Edited to correct)

Not had anything to drink.

Nor any illicit drugs...

Very menopausal.

But I swear to God the plane is flying backwards at 10:07 on Channel 4 catch up.

But Richard is leaving the building.

How? Why? Glitch in the matrix?

Yes, that plane seems to be flying backwards. Maybe they didn’t have footage of him leaving so played him going in backwards?!

But he's clearly vacating the building. If it's been reversed, he's entered the building backwards without tripping up two steps exceptionally naturally.

I think R Ayoade is a very talented man. But he's not that good.

I just watched it back to check and you're right!
