I think Mel will be really good, there's a lot more to her than Bake Off. I don't know Lolly at all either, but hopefully she'll be fun.

Idk if anyone is watching this series? Just seen the first one, it was alright and Hughes drawing of the woman was quite amusing, but there weren't that many opportunities to be logical and find loopholes really.

Seen both episodes, I agree that the tasks seem a little more off this time. Doesn't seem to be that muchroom for inventiveness and thinking outside the box, but that may just be down to the contestants. They're also getting a bit more complicated what with those elements like 'do this if you pick the same thing as x, do that if you pick same as y'.

Still a really fun watch though!

Catching up, there seems to be more 'hidden secrets' like there was in the second series, just thinking about the chocolate one (bc Ik I would definitely have eaten the chocolate kink.gif )

Another great series although a few less special moments than the other episodes from other series that I've seen. My highlight is definitely Noel being the banana though! <3 He was definitely a very worthy series winner. Regarding last night's episode, I loved the twist that they had to eat the sandwich, especially with Mel and Noel!

Series 5 will be airing around October but the 'contestants' were revealed last night: Nish Kumar, Sally Phillips, Bob Mortimer, Aisling Bea and Mark Watson! Should be interesting, looking forward to Bob and Aisling in particular.

Just finished watching - decent series but I'm a little disappointed the 'gift' task didn't appear this series. Loved the 'surprising duck' task - certainly allowed them to be creative! Only familiar with Bob and Aisling from the next series but I hope the others'll be decent

Did I miss something, or did we not get to see why Mel kept putting the red wax seal things in her pocket ?
All in all, an enjoyable series, and I liked all the players. I'd not seen nor heard of Lolly before.

Series 5 starts tonight, another 8 part series!

Also just announced is that the winners of all the five series (Josh Widdicombe, Katherine Ryan, Noel Fielding and Rob Beckett plus Series 5 winner) will take part in a two part special to find out the ultimate taskmaster! Such a good idea, very excited for that!

loved the look of the rainbow task, was very well done!

Can see Nish being annoying though, don't really need to hear him laughing out loud at every tiny thing...

EDIT: wait seems like I've watched the second episode instead of the first!! Not sure why that's already up on UKTV Play but possibly serves me right for not checking, at least I have another episode to watch now kink.gif

Loved the first episode! That 'special cuddle' one was really weird though unsure.gif

All five of them seem pretty good atm, Nish looks like he's going to be made the 'stupid one' this series a la Paul Chowdry

I'm only really liking Sally, and I don't mind Mark (?)

I liked the task where they had to eat/balance/throw from the choices of twiglet/jelly/weetabix.
Aisling choosing to eat the dry Weetabix, and thenSally choosing to throw the jelly ? Whaaaat ?!

The blindfolded task of blowing up the balloon to the circumference of a cucumber (or something) didn't seem like a good task until.....then being asked to spot the differences in the jumbled display smile.gif

Agree that the Spot the Difference one was ingenious! Love the fact only one of them realised that the person had changed heehee.gif

The most recent series was by far the worst, it's still good but the cast was appalling compared to the rest. Watched a repeat of a series 4 episode and it was so much better. Aisling and Nish quite comfortably the two worst contestants they've ever had, for me.

Looking forward to the Champion of Champions episodes before Christmas, involving the 5 series winners.

omg it has been renewed for FOUR more series which will each have 10 episodes!

I think 10 episodes it possible a bit too much of an overload, I felt 8 for the last two was slightly pushing it.

Anyway, Series 6 airs in the spring with to Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard and Tim Vine!

Very excited for Alice!

Interesting line-up! Russell and Tim are my favourites from the lot but I guess I'll have to wait and see how crazy they all are when it starts - 10 episodes though ohmy.gif

Watched the first 2 episodes and already so much better than Series 5 which barring Bob and Sally just was meh.

Alice, Liza and Russell are funny and Tim is bizarre enough to be interesting - the safari suit though is WTF?! Asim is nice enough but seemingly useless in most of the tasks

ooh not much discussion on that last series, but it was the weakest one ! I liked Tim Vine and Liza Tarbuck already, and still do by the end of it.
Didn't take to Russell Howard at all. I'd not heard of the other two.
No, it wasn't great.
