June 20, 20241 yr Finished series 16 last night and have to say Julian was one of the best they’ve had in a long time! The constant unimpressed and passive aggressive nature of his interactions with Alex were great :lol: Started series 17 and watched up to episode 3 last night and they all seem really fun too! Sophie’s fail at trying to hoopla the gorilla… :kink:
June 20, 20241 yr Sophie almost being dragged away in the river as Alex just watched on made me laugh quite a bit. But yeah loved Julian on the show - he was cuttingly brilliant with Alex. Plus the Susan's were great, the running joke of 'Rada' and Sam and Lucy's general weirdness/ how they tackled tasks :D Definitely one of the best line-ups. Julian came so close to winning as well, that surprised me, given he has such a couldn't give a fcuk attitude. Edited June 20, 20241 yr by ElectroBoy
June 20, 20241 yr I liked Sam a lot but I was rooting for Julian to win by the end. Sue Perkins would be my absolute fave but I’ve always had a soft spot for Mel & Sue
October 3, 2024Oct 3 Has anyone been watching the new series? I have to say, I absolutely LOVE this line up! All five of them are absolutely brilliant. Jack Dee I was unsure about because I've seen him in a few things before and have never really been a major fan but he is SO dry I crack up every time he talks. Emma, Baba and Andy are all thoroughly entertaining and funny too, and Rosie is just... wild.
October 6, 2024Oct 6 We're watching and also enjoying it a lot. It's a relief that it's a step back up as last season was one of the worst for me, so it's great to have such a varied cast with so many distinct personalities. Rosie is great in this, it's my favourite thing I've seen her in - she's clearly loving being on it and it's just so infectious, Jack is a wonderful foil for her too. I wasn't too familiar with the other three before the show but Emma is lovely, Andy a real character... Baba didn't click with me straight away but I'm finding him much more entertaining as each episode passes too, his laugh alone makes me want to laugh
October 7, 2024Oct 7 I’m a week behind but enjoying it. I’ll admit I’ve never found Rosie that funny on any panel shows I’ve seen her in. However she’s made me laugh a fair few times in this. Her and Jack together are really funny!
October 9, 2024Oct 9 A bit off topic but I've just started watching Alma's Not Normal and I absolutely love it, Sophie Willan is great
October 9, 2024Oct 9 A bit off topic but I've just started watching Alma's Not Normal and I absolutely love it, Sophie Willan is great <3 Yeah I stumbled on it after seeing her on the previous Taskmaster Series. Definitely recommend! Is Series 2 on now? I know its been trailed for a while, but didn't know when its meant to air
October 9, 2024Oct 9 Yes! We're only just on our way through season 1 but the second one is out there and is getting some amazing reviews
October 14, 2024Oct 14 Apparently the line-up for the next series: Fatiha El-Ghorri Jason Mantzoukas Mathew Baynton Rosie Ramsey Stevie Martin I've heard of 3 out 5 of them... although that's my usual hit rate for most series recently :D
October 14, 2024Oct 14 Oh I am SO here for Rosie Ramsey Episode 5 of the current series was probably my favourite so far, absolutely hilarious!!
October 14, 2024Oct 14 Oh I recognise the guy from The Good Place but I don't immediately recognise the others - not a bad thing though, I often really like the ones I don't already know
October 14, 2024Oct 14 Oh I recognise the guy from The Good Place but I don't immediately recognise the others - not a bad thing though, I often really like the ones I don't already know Just googled the rest of them (didn't recognise them by name) and oooh I'm here for him! He's in Brooklyn Nine-Nine too and he's absolutely BONKERS, can imagine him being a total wildcard :lol: (aside: just started watching Alma's Not Normal tonight too so I'll report back with some thoughts when I've watched a few episodes :cool:)
April 14Apr 14 Series 19 starting on 1st May! Really looking forward to it, feels like ages since the last series now.
May 2May 2 Pretty good first episode. Liking all of them apart from Jason right now he's trying so hard to be the funniest, most over the top person in the room and it's just cringe. Probably the show's first misfire with an American/non-British comedian for me. Hopefully he's better the rest of the series though lol. Fatiha already being so over it
May 2May 2 Yeah I thought it was a strong first ep. Rosie smacking her head into the camera made me laugh…As did Mat during the Pealympics, with one fail after another.Definately a good mix and the scores were close too. My guess is Stevie will win as she seems the most calm under pressure.
May 3May 3 It always takes a couple of episodes to fully bed in for me but I’m liking them all so far.Thought the cool and pealympics tasks were pretty strong. I was amazed how well the backwards song worked!
May 8May 8 Stevie has been brilliant in tonight's episode the water/marbles task and then trying to grab the pint in the caravan, I was howling
