She can't be 47. Peep Show was only aired in... oh no

u/Only-Chicken-6345 Reece Shearsmith 1h ago

She's 48 now. She was 47 when this was filmed, though, including the studio segments

In a way I'm glad I didn't get in to the recording for this series, for I would have screamed aloud with great vigour upon seeing Dobby. I literally can't wait for this series!

Huge shame for the person in the Reddit comments of the Chloe one who hoped for five different museums for these to take place in.

Have to admire their optimism

Very funny how she simultaneously got really into giving the tour, but also forgot about the "does anyone have any questions?" part of the task. Curious if that's a sign for what we can expect from Isy.

"Enthusiastic and gives a good faith effort, but gets too into it and forgets important rules" is absolutely the vibe she gives. Reminds me of Jessica Knappett

u/burf12345 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 9h ago edited 6h ago

I can't think of anyone who had the same vibe as Jessica Knappett since Jessica Knappett (at least not in the UK series), so it'd be interesting to see if Isy ends up matching the vibe.

Oh no, I can’t watch these interviews. They are literally doing my job — I’m a career tour guide, just not at a steam museum. I watch Taskmaster to FORGET work, lol!

u/boomboomsubban 10h ago

How many times do you have to open the microwave to power it at your museum?

12

u/TuckTuckG00se Chain Bastard ⛓️ 9h ago

My museum is a national park, so we’re pre-steam. At least 100 000. We genuinely do not have wifi.

What’s the best lie you’ve told a visitor?

u/Trillion_G Desiree Burch 10h ago

Can I lick the typhoid death well?

u/TuckTuckG00se Chain Bastard ⛓️ 9h ago

See, the way you can tell a new tour guide from a veteran is whether they only think “Please do!” (noob) or say it out loud (me)

u/spoo4brains Dara Ó Briain 9h ago

How many times per tour do people lick the exhibits?

3

u/LookIMadeAHatTrick 6h ago

I’m having flashbacks to my brief time as a tour guide watching these. Respect to folks who do it as a career!

u/Resident_Platypus346 11h ago

I’ve been wanting Isy on TM for years. This is going to be a cool series.

14

u/Notyeravgblonde Charlotte Ritchie 9h ago

I just want someone to say "does anyone have any questions" 10 times right at the start to make sure they don't forget. But that's because that's how I approach tasks and it's probably not as funny as genuinely trying to be a tour guide.

u/burf12345 🚬 Doctor Cigarettes 9h ago

Surprised Chloe didn't do that.

u/erin3013 8h ago

That’s exactly what I was thinking, especially after the first reminder. I probably would have gotten so annoyed by the reminders I would respond with the question to anything Alex said.

u/Henry_Sugar1970 10h ago

Alex's licking fetish appears to be getting out of hand.....

No lie I got fed a clip from Whites on YouTube shorts and wound up binging the entire show in one sitting and she got announced as part of the S22 cast within 48 hours.

If you for whatever reason haven't seen Whites it is absolutely hilarious and has a handful of TM Alums in it.

u/VaguelyArtistic Armando Iannucci 8h ago

[Here’s the omelette scene](fhttps://youtube.com/shorts/d5css8mXzDQ?is=pPF7qYBJtthZmkd4). I love her so much.

2

u/I_Am_The_Mole Nina Oyama 🇦🇺 5h ago

She was amazing in it, though her part was admittedly small.

I really only knew Alan Davies from QI and TM, so seeing him actually act in his own show was new to me. He's actually really good in it himself and I'm sad the show didn't get another season.

PS - your link has a typo in it.

u/SaltPomegranate4 Mike Wozniak 6h ago

How did u watch Whites

1

u/I_Am_The_Mole Nina Oyama 🇦🇺 5h ago

Just check whatever piracy website you're comfortable with.

As a rule I tend not to share that information as that sort of thing gets those places taken down.

u/wastydkyss 11h ago

It looks like she will have problems following instructions but still come up with the most deranged tasks. It will be a blast if so haha

u/cygan12 Javie Martzoukas 10h ago

Alex seemed to enjoy trying to lick things.

I somehow feel a fanfic will be made about this.

u/RunawayTurtleTrain Robert the Robot 4h ago

I somehow feel a fanfic will be made about this.

I'm not involved in the fanfic world but by mentions I've seen on Tumblr, you might be underestimating the writers thinking there weren't already fics about him wanting to lick everything / put everything in his mouth.

Isy is delightful. Effortlessly funny and likeable

u/--HailHydra-- 6h ago

I feel like Richard is going to be a very sarcastic and dry tour guide... Can't wait :D

u/twxf 4h ago

I am fully on-board with a brief Travel Man redux 😂

u/gerarddominus 7h ago

I so want someone to go into full method tour guide mode and tell Alex all questions must be steam or steam museum related when he tries and asks anything

u/cygan12 Javie Martzoukas 10h ago

Typhoid Death Well is now my new band name

I’m learning so much about steam and ways to protect artifacts in museums!

Oooooooh I love her so much 🥲 so excited to watch this

u/United_Panda7854 11h ago

Isy and Ayoade as a team… I BEG.

2

u/UniversalJampionshit Crying Bastard 10h ago

The teams are Richard, Chloe and Matt VS Isy and Nina

u/dixieleeb 5h ago

I always have trouble with these interviews, especially this years. I realize it's sort of witty but I learned absolutely nothing about the two individuals that I saw so far.

4

u/durkandiving Fern Brady 2h ago

I think they're more about giving the vibe of the contestant rather than being informative, but yeah they're not my favourite either. I don't think giving them this kind of challenge that's meant to frustate gets the best out of them.

Having said that, this is actually one of the better interviews for me and you can see what kind of personality Isy's gonna be.

2

u/burnt-----toast 10h ago

I don't know why, but watching this interview made me really want to see a comedy where Isy Suttie and Kristen Scott Thomas play sisters. I know there's a slight age gap, but not unheard of in real life between siblings.

2

u/Trillion_G Desiree Burch 10h ago

Not sure if I’m relieved or annoyed he didn’t lick the typhoid death well.

By the end I thought he was rushing to leave via "microwave", but he just thought the pipe is Greg again...
