TheWho87 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I mentioned this on Twitter in a reply to someone else, but I kinda feel they missed the mark, they have a Champion of Champions mini series, but I'd love to see a Champion of the Losers, basically every one who has come last competing for redemption.

Someone might deliberately do shit in the hope of being the "funny" contestant, and get rewarded with an extra payday from another series too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 yeah the show is much funnier when people are genuinely trying, and if there was a reason not to do that, then you risk losing that. my least favourite series was series six, where it was clear like three of the contestants just didn't really care i was watching an old WCW thing the other week, with Giant Haystacks, and i forgot that Kevin Sullivan was known as the Taskmaster 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think series 6 might be my least favourite too, perhaps because I just didn't really care for Liza Tarbuck, but I did really enjoy Alice on the show. I've heard many good things about series 2 of Taskmaster NZ, I definitely need to watch it. I've watched a highlight video about the series too, and it did seem like fun, but I've already watched 2 episodes of series 1 and maybe I wanna watch that first! Depends if I can be arsed, though, I guess. It's definitely worth watching the second series though, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 2 was probably better, one of the best seasons anywhere in the Taskmaster Universe, but season one is also fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skummy Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 I'd contemplated doing a T-shirt of the Dungeon of Doom with Greg poorly Photoshopped in Kevin Sullivan's place, but it wasn't worth the effort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorka Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 They've named the New Year special line-up: Spoiler Adrian Chiles Claudia Winkleman Lady Leshurr Jonnie Peacock MBE Baroness Sayeeda Warsi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummy Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Spoiler Winkleman should be fantastically chaotic, Chiles is about as good a choice for the bewildered older contestant role as you can get - the rest is a bit of a blank slate, though could do without Warsi, for sure. I do like the idea of doing one-off specials with non-comedians, though - I don't think there's enough there to expand to a full series, but it adds a nice twist on the dynamic.

GA! Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I love that Taskmaster has moved away from the Dave/Avalon roster of comedians and they should continue to do so, but Warsi is very ewwww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I've only just started watching the New Year special, but seeing an audience and everyone back in the normal studio setup has made me smile. Also, Alan is back to stand in for Johnnie Peacock, and he's wearing the Dignity hoodie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
