hope it stays on Dave - they are creating original product and deserve the kudos for doing it, and hanging on to it.

Confirmed to have gone to Channel 4!

 

I'm glad it's gone there out of any channel as it's the best fit, and they've already shown with Bake Off that they won't interfere with a successful format. However, I still maintain that it's an absolute perfect fit for Dave. The lack of success for The Button on BBC One shows the danger of being on a full mainstream channel.

Had it gone to the BBC, Dave would probably have been showing repeats of it in a few years :P

The line-up for Series 10 has been confirmed as Johnny Vegas and four people I've never heard of.

 

(Daisy May Cooper, Katherine Parkinson, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring for people who know them!)

Buzzing for Katherine Parkinson and Daisy May Cooper!!

 

Its been aaaaages and I feared they hadn’t started filming before this whole thing! (I mean it probably has been filmed after but at least we’re actually getting something)

You need to give This Country a watch Pete!

Richard Herring said he started filming his tasks in December and they're just about to film the last studio episode without an audience, so assuming everyone had got their tasks done pre-lockdown and were waiting to be able to film the episodes again.

Is there anywhere to watch all series for free? I watched the Jo Brand series on Dave but am interested in the others :)

I think UKTV Play still has all the series available?

Yeah excited for Daisy and Katherine

 

Can;t stand Johnny

 

Haven't heard of the other 2... but then I don't think that wholly matters with Taskmaster - so long as they're funny or interesting or a bit weird then it should be good

Katherine Parkinson reminds me that they're wanting to get Richard Ayoade on which would just be DREAM casting!!

Aargh gutted for

Daisy

as they made me laugh the most!! Think

Mawaan

was robbed in a few tasks throughout the series too and should have been up there.

 

Really enjoyable series overall, loads of parts made me absolutely howl - particularly hippogate and the watermelon task! I wasn’t expecting Katherine to be so bad either! It’s the funniest entertainment show on TV for me. Although I do have to say the prize tasks were appallingly bad overall.

 

Series 11 confirmed as well as the cast announced:

 

@1339693101405782017

 

Probably contains the least amount that I’ve heard of beforehand, I’m only aware of Lee Mack and Charlotte Richie!! Guess it shows Channel 4 isn’t putting pressure on them e.g attract big names. I wasn’t aware of Mawaan before this series but he became a real favourite so names isn’t everything!

 

Champion of Champions 2 has also been announced with the winners of 6-10!

 

ALSO, a one off New Year’s Day treat with John Hannah, Rylan, Shirley Ballas, Nicola Coughlan and Krishnan Guru-Murthy which should be interesting!

Series 11 starting on the 18th March! Hadn't seen the line-up until now but twice as many people I know as the last series :P But I guess that doesn't particularly matter, I did enjoy the last series quite a bit even if I forgot to post in here about it and the New Year's one worked remarkably well as well - I especially enjoyed Rylan ddeliberately trying to find loopholes for every task!

Just discovered this show about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I watched Series 7 and it was impossible to pick a favorite panelist, all five were amazing. I wasn't prepared for just how chaotic it would be :lol: Planning to start Series 4 next as recommended by my friend (although she's a Mel and Noel fan whereas I've never watched Bake Off)...after that I'll either watch the rest in order or I'm open to more recommendations.

Yes, Series 4 is my probably my favourite!! All of them are so funny but Mel & Noel particularly excel on there. Series 5 is another fave due to Bob Mortimer and Sally Phillips. Looking back, Series 10 is actually one of my faves as there were so many times I laughed out loud even though the prize tasks were terrible!

 

Each series has its highlights though! I don't think it matters if you know the contestants or not, some of my favourites often end up being the ones I'm unfamiliar with such as with Mawaan last series.

Series 5 is a must, Bob Mortimer is a comedy legend!

Totally. Anything he is on is going to be great fun... and quirky :yahoo:

It was a strong first episode! Lee was great

It definitely doesn't matter, I loved everyone on Series 7 despite not knowing any of them. :wub: I just finished 4 (as it turned out, Mel and Noel ended up being my faves :lol:) and will watch 5 next, thanks to you and DB for the recommendation.

Personally series 5 is comfortably the weakest series. Taskmaster is such a fun and easy watch that stands up to multiple viewings and I've watched most at least 3 times over the years but think I gave up midway through a second run of 5. Yes, Bob is great, but I'd say three of the contestants in that series I'd rank in my all time bottom 5 and even he can't save it.

 

I love Jamali and think he's going to be great in this one, glad he'll be pushed to a new audience. And think Mike could be the start, enjoyed how much love he was getting after the first episode.
