This is the brand new channel and the brand new series! Four episodes in this run, one every Thursday in July. It took a long time to get this together: we were going to do this more than two years ago, but the world got in the way. You'll notice a new logo, and a new style of filming for the VTs, but otherwise it's still just us four sat round a table. Enjoy the show!
I've been looking forward to this!
Can't wait!
oh my god this is such a good series
Tom, don't forget the channel's description. It's still say "There's nothing here yet. There might be soon."
Will citation needed come back because I've been waiting for 3 years!
"All of us are outside our comfort zones."
First episode: Gary goes on a train.
Next Episode: Tom does Computer Stuff
Sadly (or thankfully?) no goose seems to be involved
tom runs for parliment (again)
Oh good one fox!
To cook bacon, Which they even point out they are experts at
Honestly "Techdiff's Day Out" would be a wonderful title for this series.
Brilliant
What a wonderful idea, love it!!
Or Techdiff's Midlife Crisis, but I like your idea better.
Defective Techdiff Try To Be Inventive
How about Techdiff's Grand Day Out?
gary: the pockets lads! the pockets!
*every woman in the world silently nod in agreement*
Truth. I’ve taken to wearing an 18th century style tie-on pocket just so that I can have a decent pocket, and I’m currently in the process of making another one, with an internal “divider” and a clip to hang my keys from. The clip is from a lanyard, and sewn into the top corner with strong thread and buttonhole stitch.
Gary "Thanksithaspockets" Brannan
Trenchcoats, my friends.
@@thephoenixsystem6765
While I do like a coat with good pockets, I also like pockets in my indoor clothes.
@@thephoenixsystem6765 unfortunately i live in a tropical country and i sweat from having skin alone :(
This is probably the best cpations I have ever seen done. Not only is it accurate and not the automated, but color coding for each person? I just want to say thank you from everyone who uses captions.
If Tom is involved, the captions will generally be good, because he cares a lot about this.
Shout out, Caption+!
Just wish Matt and Gary’s colours where switched as I can deal with Tom(red) waving white subtitles but Matt(yellow) having cyan titles and Gary (blue) having yellow ones. You did get Chris’s right
@@crazyt1483
Matt is always assigned blue subtitles because he usually wears blue. This video was a weird one in terms of outfits.
You haven't seen nothing yet until you've seen the "ooooh!" Subtitles on one of Tom's pub games videos. Caption+ is exceptional.
"were all out of our comfort zone" I don't think brannan is that far out of his comfort zone on a 1950s steam locomotive
He's really more an 1850s steam locomotive kind of guy.
Cheeky though it might be, I'll add,... With bacon.
@@MonsoonEast
Better than on fire (though Tom has already tried that) or covered in bees.
Yeah, was going to say he really dusnae look it
Gary, bacon, and STEAM! We have reached Peak Brannon.
I require the ability to buy a sticker for my computer of Gary saying “I’m On A Twain”
I second this requirement. 🚂
Tom, get on it
Surely it needs to go on your scanner?
But, rather than it be Gary on a steam train, it’s Gary tightroping on a small thread of rope.
Boris Johnson quits as Prime Minister in the morning, the Technical Difficulties upload a new video in the afternoon.
It's like Christmas has come early!
I'd be careful about speaking too soon. I've got a strange, sneaking suspicion that there's a secret reason why BJ and his VP left.
@@JonesNate VP ???
@@breazecatcher I was on the phone with my wife, and she said both BJ and his Vice Prime Minister left. Maybe I misheard.
@@JonesNate For the record: I don't think you need to look for a secret reason. He'd burned through more last chances than anyone has a right to expect. 53(ish) ministers had resigned from his government in less than 2 days, and those who were left were publicly telling him to quit. If he'd waited till Monday his party would probably have voted him out anyway.
@@breazecatcher If 50+ people resign from office so quickly, I'm concerned that something is going on behind the scenes.
Hypothetical situation: 50+ people resign, leaving their offices vacant. Before new people can fill the positions, Queen Elizabeth passes away. The next king is crowned, and he immediately accepts the powers and responsibilities those offices held. Then he declares that Britain allies with Ukraine, and orders his troops to do something specific. (I don't know what.)
I would not be surprised if that's where the world goes.
I love that Gary is superbly gentlemanly and professional in that one video on a different channels where he's interviewed about his job (look it up, he's in a suit and tie and everything), and just pure chaotic 100% Bri'ish dude with no filter in TechDiff
I am now intrigued about this
Oh, this feels like OG Tech Diff. Not what I was expecting but brilliant.
Problem is now that you've said that, "bacon sandwich on a steam train at speed" just makes me think of SPEED DIBNAH.
@@PinkThorn242
Also, Gary is built for leisure, not for speed.
It's exactly like the stuff that was on Tom's channel in the very early days. Just with much higher production value.
@@ragnkja I mean, it *is* a heritage line Gary is on.
We've had bacon on a train, now we just need a flitch of goose
He missed out doing his goose on a train
That's a bit too much goose, no?
@@PorkSodaBassist Remember, we're talking about a man who once got a goose from a budget supermarket.
tfw I know exactly what you're talking about because that video is right next to this one in the "recommended" sidebar
I love where this is going. It's like Tom Scot Plus Plus, with references back to the very early days of TechDif. Not sure how much staying power it has as a format, but it's definitely a wonderful reunion series.
I think it's the kind of format that will work incredibly as a one-off special, but shouldn't be planned as the main series.
Object oriented Tom Scott? Perish the thought!
@@AndrewHalliwell Incremented Tom Scott
@Flicks coming this Bonfire Night to a computer near you
...wait, you're talking about a computer thing, aren't you
Once a year would be amazing, I think. If they take a longer break in a year, it's a good bit to come back to.
I've been re-watching all of Citation Needed again for about the fourth time now so it's great to see the Tech Diffs back together for some new content!
4th time? those are rookie numbers, gotta pump them up
Yeah, we need more episodes of Citation Needed - especially in front of an audience!
@@BrowncoatInABox I’ve been using Citation needed to help me fall asleep for the last month, it’s just so relaxing I can shut out everything and I sleep so well.
Panthers?
@@MianCowell 🤣🤣
There is something deeply disjointing about Chris wearing a green shirt and Matt wearing a banana yellow shirt
And it’s Gary who is wearing blue, not Matt!
We realised this afterwards. Oops! -Matt
they’re all wearing the correct colours just not necessarily in the right order
It made the color coding on the subtitles a bit disjointed.
@@MudakTheMultiplier
At least it’s consistent from video to video, even if they weren’t wearing the right colours this time.
Tom: *explains the concept*
Tom: "Gary, without giving the game away, what did you do?"
The rest of the video: there seems to be no game to be given away.
I think there will be a game at the end. Maybe we, as the audience, have to guess something?
@@hariseldon02 Ah yeah that could be! Guess we'll see
Gary did say he was given this as a task, and that he "won". Tom can play dumb as much as he wants, but I think they're each given a task, maybe even the same one, and will be rated in the end.
@Sourcerer Seven Tech Diff goes Taskmaster? I'd be happy with that
My verbal, real-world reaction to seeing the thumbnail was “WHOA, WHAAAAT?!”
So glad to have you back, guys. We’ve missed y’all.
I went "YEEEEEAH!" so loudly I scared my dog. Having just stumbled across Tom's content in early March 2020, and having consumed it and every bit of TechDif stuff over the pandemic, it's so great to see them doing stuff again.
@@dominateeye I echo every part of your experience.
Oh my God, this is so Tech Diff. After cooking bacon on regular irons twice, and curling irons once, now it gets cooked on a train! I just did not expect such a fantastic return to the very roots of you four goofing off in front of cameras, and I'm very pleased.
(And of course, who could forget them cooking pasta in a tea kettle, but unfortunately that's not bacon)
Just needed the train whistle to play At Least You've Been Told
Really, they're a cooking show, between the salmon in a dishwasher and the pancakes on a lamp.
correction: a 'twain'!
This is not what I expected from this channel and I am absolutely elated that Gary cooking bacon WITH a train is the video that we got. Fantastic
This has absolutely made my day glad to see this pop up
Same!! Hell yeah!!!!
Oh I like this, never seen Gary or Chris doing things alone on YT before. Glad to have you back guys
Edit: also Saturday Kitchen was a gent
Gary did a thing about archivism once but that was in a professional capacity.
@@charleslambert3368 Was that him? Tom wasn't there to introduce him so I didn't know if that was everyone's favorite Gary Brannan or not
@@joshgallie1543 I think at least 20% of the comments were agreeing that it was indeed everyone's favourite Gary etc etc
@@joshgallie1543 Everyone's favorite Gary Brannan is the Gary Brannan from TechDiff. The archivist may be the same person, but he's not as good.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721
The thumbnail of the video he did as Keeper of Archives clearly stated that he was Everybody’s Favourite.
I can't wait to see a day in the life of Chris Joel. Must be the most adventure you'll see in a lifetime.
Chris Joel - The Librarian
I want to see an episode in the style of Joe Pera Talks With You of Chris just showing his book collection.
Anything less than Speed Dibnah and we’ll be disappointed.
Hey, where do you think he got the tale of Henricus?
He IS 'The Beard that's feared.'
I'd like to think they literally just took the GoPro's they used to have attached to each mic stand, and went looking for a good time.
Which I'm calling it now will be as close to the Victorian Era as is possible.
Gary Brannan going places in a flat cap is a youtube channel I would watch religiously. He is, after all, everybody's favourite Gary Brannan.
Now we’ve had this &, previously, the hovercraft special, we really ought to go old-school & get “Tech-Dif’s Grand Day Out: On Ice” & have them trying to play swimming pool curling.
Don't forget "covered in beeeeees!!!!" still needs to be done
@@TomDufall Including a shipping forecast, big slices of bread, and a Rolls-Royce covered in jam.
@@oscarcacnio8418 And the swarm of digeridoos! Still one of my favorite lines from Citation Needed overall.
Gary is the most British man on the planet and I am here for it.
He is so genuinely enjoying himself
I mean, let's be fair chaps, any of you would be making those exact same faces if you got to ride on the footplate of a steam engine. There's just an inherent childish glee to such an experience.
Incidentally, the Nevada Northern Railroad wrote a whole cookbook of firebox recipes and demonstrated some on their Facebook page, including a lovely looking steak dinner.
I'm impressed if they cook a whole goose.
My fiancé drives a semi truck/ lorry, and he says the experience never gets old!
I rode in the front of an old diesel train once, more than a decade ago, and it's still probably my best birthday ever.
Technical Difficulties present: Difficult Adventures.
Difficult Technicalities
@@rhvette Technidult Difficalities?
@@rhvette Good title for a series where they compete in trivia with the most pedantic answers.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721
All of the lads would do quite well on that front within their respective fields of expertise.
I'm elated to see the spirit (and wardrobe) of Fred Dibnah is alive and well. I eagerly await the day when we see Gary speaking about historical engineering projects, and saying "products of combustion".
Been busy scrolling down the comments to see if I was the only person who thought "Everyone's favourite Gary Brannon is in fact Fred Dibnah". Glad it's not just me.
I'm guessing in series 2 of Untitled TechDiff Show we'll see The Battle of the Beer make a glorious return.
I didn't understand the premise of the video at the beginning and was fully expecting it to just be the footage. I'm so glad you did the reaction. I'm only 3 minutes in and already laughing more than I have all day
Round of applause to the Tech Diff team for remembering their CZcams password!
I never appreciated how much effort goes into these episodes until I edited a video, myself. Shoutout to TD for still doing this.
I love the colour coding in the subtitles
My grandad was a fireman then a driver with British Rail, and yes, that is what they did! Great video, and good to see the very pretty environs of the K&WVR.
Ahh, bless you Tom, this is indeed a bona fide culinary method known to steam drivers world over. There's not a lot of kitchen space in the cab of a 10+ hr steam engine journey. 😅😁
I don't know how feasible the model of "send your friends out to do stuff and film it later" is, but The TechDif crew have such a wonderful energy, and the editing for both Gary's GoPro and the TechDif watching is so on point. I'll gladly watch as many as y'all produce.
The instant the phrase "grand day out" was said, the Wallace and Gromit theme started playing in my head 😅 wonderful series, guys! Very excited for the new uploads
TechDif's Grand Day Out. There's your title.
It's so nice to see everybody's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan back again.
Long live The Technical Difficulties
So I volunteer at a local museum/pumping station - on early mornings the boiler crew are in charge of breakfast - cobs lightly toasted on the shovel, bacon cooking on the shovel, shove a can of beans in the boiler door for a few and they're toasty warm. On long nights, they do excellent jacket spuds - wrap em in tin foil, toss them in (the ash tray) about 6 hours before you wanna eat them, try and find them at the end of the day and hope they aren't charcoal. The engine drivers make a mean cuppa tea, too!
Edit: For comfy work wear try Dickies or sometimes army surplus places, they usually have overalls!
I love how absolutely delightful every member of tech diff seems when they're just out doing stuff on their own
Amazing format, kind of reminds me of the banter off of Taskmaster but with a docutainment travelling series
I expected more "mates cracking jokes together" content from TechDiff, but this is great too. I am really looking forward to the rest of these. Knowing that the next episode is only a week away makes me happy. I think the Tom episode will explain a little about the creative vision. He already has a series where he goes places and one where he does stuff out of his comfort zone. I don't think the four of you sitting around a table doesn't add as much entertainment value as it usually does.
What a fab video, so glad you’re back! Gary looks like he had so much fun. Binge-watching a lot of Tom’s and Tech Diff’s previous content has honestly got me through the majority of the past 2 years but most specifically the past 6 months or so. I’m disabled so have been shut up indoors for the majority of the time, even as the world starts to open up again. You all have such wonderful personas and I’m glad to see there’s more to come from you all. Really love the look of this run! 😁
FINALLY, TECH DIF HAS COME BACK, TO CZcams!
This is the most Gary video that could possibly be made.
IRON!
This felt like such a northern video, featuring everybody's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan dressed as steeplejack Fred Dibnah (wrong side of the Pennines but close enough). Also I second the recommendation to visit Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, lovely day out.
This was the most British video experience I've had in a long while.
I could never have imagined seeing Gary exit the abyss of a dark tunnel to reveal him doing the Belle Delphine ahegao face
I think I've been watching Technical Difficulties longer than I have Tom. I've been waiting so long for stand alone stuff like this. Cheers guys! I hope you have a good time and everything goes great.
I think what makes this so brilliant, is that you can clearly see how much joy Gary is having doing it, and we all share in that. Fantastic idea for a series!
I've never been happier to see the words "We're back," accompanied by a photo of a man looking out the window of a steam engine with a bit of bread in his mouth.
In the Portuguese railway museum I saw a kettle, coffee maker and pressure cooker that they used on their steam engine to cook with. Also the most heavy duty lunch box ever, I suppose to protect from the heat 😅
Gary talking about pockets sounds like a lass that just found pockets I her dreas
Good pockets are worth praising. Women generally know this.
I adore how genuinely happy and excited Gary seemed throughout his entire journey.
maybe it's just because i'm an uncultured american, but the way gary talks is both so funny and so relaxing in a way i can't fully describe and am extremely jealous of
we've been here before, "pigs do fly" " they do if you strap a jet engine to them"
Worth Valley's my local heritage line, can attest how wonderful it is.
Oughta renew my membership and actually get volunteering there at some point!
Grand stuff there, very jealous of Gary though!
It's a great showcase to how a single simply camera can be enough for great content. As long as you have a story go tell.
Now we need a series where the fellas try to find the best way to cook a bacon sandwich
On a shovel.
They've done bacon on an iron and on hair curlers before
I don't know what I was expecting, this wasn't it and I was not disappointed all the same.
Thank you, you glorious bastard, for this is the kind of entertaining nonsense I can appreciate from a bunch of grown men who might be a little bit confused about their lives but won't let that stop them from having fun.
Glad to see The Technical Difficulties back for more. I've missed it.
I just realised what I loved about this video - it had the same vibe as living in the 90s (or earlier), when you'd get up early on a chilly morning and head over to a friend's/relative's house for breakfast. And because you don't have cellphones or wifi at the time, you watch your friend make breakfast and actually just be in the moment. No distractions. I'd forgotten how much the little clings and clangs of kitchen utensils has been embedded in my head
its adorable to see gary so happy about trains
4:50 "flying bacon!" "pigs do fly!"
love that reference to the Season 1 of Citation Needed
Its always so fun cooking food in a steam engine's firebox. In fact, bacon getting sucked up the tubes and out the chimney is a plot to a Thomas story!
This brings back memories of Tom and gang cooking breakfast using things in the kitchen or Tom cooking fish in his dishwasher
Greetings from NZ and welcome back lads. I've missed my regular top up of my almost extinct native language - West Yorkshire.
Creating original content to react to instead of reacting to other people’s content is so high effort, I love it.
This was quite possibly THE BEST title and episode choice to make me instantly click on and love this mini series I didn't even know currently aired over the course of July!
Honestly, I stopped the video I was watching when I saw the notification saying there was a new video from the The Technical Difficulties
So happy your back!!
Can I just say how natural Gary looks with that outfit? Fits right in!
Instantly 200% more Yorkshire with the flat cap as well.
Tom is now outsourcing his "blue peter presenter" schtick and I am loving it.
What a lovely group of people running that engine. Truly charming.
We need a full series of Gary 'going places'
My day is improved immeasurably!
OMFG! I love Gary's shirt so much! It's been nearly 40 years since I lived in Batley (and have been living in New Zealand since then) but whenever I see or hear a mention of it I get all kind of "That's where I'm from!" happy vibes*.
* Most of the time - Jo Cox was especially tragic as while we went to different schools, she would have been in the same year as me.
I feel like you should call these The TechDiff Show Lite, 'cuz it's literally just the "weird adventure" section off of that, except it's filmed in a more of a clipshow manner. Rewatching these day and night btw, amazing show!
I’m enjoying the new Gary Brannan Plus channel.
This is amazing. I've enjoyed rewatching citation needed and TOTPAL recently, so seeing the notification pop up was a nice surprise!
I was filming on that railway (Keighley Station in particular) for the new season of All Creatures Great and Small! It is like it’s been pulled out of a time vortex.
Jacket Potatoes are often done in the locomotive smokebox too. Wrap a potato in tinfoil and put it in the smokebox in the morning. Lunchtime, perfect jacket potato
Welcome back. I’m looking forward to more new content.
Considering what Tom does on his channels, I expect his film will be about having a relaxing day on the couch reading a book and sipping lemonade.
This is peak Fred Dibnah cosplay. well done! :D
Nah, he's too close to the ground for peak Dibnah.
0:11 So you still haven't got an intro? That's the Technical Difficulties I know and love. Great to see you all together again.
1:45 Ooh, been on that.
That looked like something I would greatly enjoy. I'm not a big fan of trains, but I do like things that are old, and I do like undeveloped sections of countryside. It just seems like that day was a bit of a pause in the unrelenting rushing torrent of time. Very nice.
This makes me very happy. Thank you for sharing, everyone. Thank you for taking us along, Gary. This was wonderful.
(I'm now trying to figure out what order all the bits in the big room were shot. I'm guessing the two Christmas ToTPAL specials, then these bits, then finally the "Techdiff Channel Intro" sequence where everyone is obviously really really tired and punchy. It will be interesting to see if the "viewing of the footage" sequences get punchier as we see them, presumably in chronological order of how they were shot but perhaps not.
As someone who has seen the vast majority of the TechDiff stuff, this is wonderful, I love it, I would watch anything these blokes put together. More please. I'm already subscribed, I have Patreon button at the ready.
And I will put visiting that railway on my short list of things to do when I go back to the UK someday.
[minimizes YT tabs of my second, third, fourth and sixth favorite Gary Brannans] sorry lads, but, priorities
And here we see the Spectacled Brannon in its natural habitat...
This is old school Tom Scott salmon in a dishwasher, cymbals down a cliff energy with current resources and I am so here for it
Okay yall may have laughed at Gary's face when the train started moving but I would have been doing the exact same thing
Was literally JUST rewatching Citation Needed! Glad to see the boys back.
If anyone's curious, Gary's locomotive was a BR Standard Class 2MT; a 2-6-0 tender engine built in 1954. And the railway he visited is the same one that features in The Railway Children and Last of the Summer Wine.
These guys were gut-wrenchingly hilarious on Citation Needed, and it's great to see them re-uniting again. On the subject of bacon, there's a heritage railway not too far from Pokeno; a town here in New Zealand that's known for fancy bacon.
Gary looking at a peaceful little brook: "That looks dreadful!" 😆
welcome back lads! looks like Gary had a pearler of a day, very entertaining commentary 👍
Very excited the channel is finally starting off!
It's great to see a younger guy like Saturday Kitchen keeping up the old work.
fascinating and heartwarming as this is, I want to know more about the stalactite-esque buildup on the roof of the firebox
I’ve been waiting for a new episode on this channel for a while now, and I expected that it’d be a new series, but this is on another level. This is just a perfect start (although I guess I’m biased as I am a railway enthusiast) and it’s definitely ‘Keighley and’ Worth the wait. Can’t wait to see where Chris will be going for his shenanigans. Keep it up guys, you never fail to make me smile!
Just finished my school career today and there's a new tech dif series! It's a good time to be alive
Congratulations!
@@ZeldaCW23 Thanks!
Congratulations, and good luck with whatever you’ll be doing next!
@@ragnkja Thank you!
i've done this down on the SVR (Severn valley Railway) when i was a kid. I've also driven one, fired one and stopped one by standing on the track with my hand held in the air like a dork.
I love things that begin with a disclaimer of "this is experimental; we have no idea if this will work."
