In episode 19 of Taskmaster: The People's Podcast, it was revealed that Alex had met Peter Hudson at a Chesham United football match, and had been inspired by this meeting to adapt an existing task he'd been planning, where the contestants would have had to impress a Colonel, into the task as we now know it.
On the same podcast episode, Peter revealed that he had eaten one of the Calippos given to him by Joe Wilkinson, and had kept one in his freezer ever since, as a memento. He also said he had donated the £15 given to him by Joe to charity.
In episode 21 of the Taskmaster Podcast, Doc Brown revealed that his original idea was to get some local lads to run into the Mayor's office to scare him, and then for Doc to appear and rescue him. Doc was ultimately persuaded by the producers to change this idea, due to potential legal issues.
