Taskmaster

[Skummy]

That's one of my favourite episodes in a long time - it's rare that the studio stuff is funnier than the tasks, but this was all incredible.

I was really looking forward to Frankie Boyle because the dynamic between him and Greg wouldn't be anything like any with any previous guest, but I hadn't expected so many genuinely sweet moments of glee and emotion from him.

Rose Matafeo will be the Taskmaster for the Junior Taskmaster series, with Mike Wozniak as her assistant.

I'm still not entirely sure how this series is going to work.

Like Taskmaster, but with more children and less swearing?

I'll probably at least check it out, those two are great picks for the hosts.

Alex Horne has previously had a show called The Button, which was essentially family taskmaster, it was really good fun.

Mae deserved to win everything for the doll alone, but let's face it, they were the best contestant of the series by a mile from a competence standpoint.

And next series contestant reveal spoilers...

They're both great

New UK Taskmaster already off to a great start

Sam Campbell using his one question in the live task to ask whether Greg was a child of divorce had me crying with laughter.

So what about the speculation on what the "secret task" is going to be, or if it'll be found, it was mentioned in both episodes so far.

Lucy Beaumont with the whipped cream.

Once again just a really great cast. I kinda agree with Sam that the rubbish robot task was a bit of a dud (and I kiiiiinda suspect it only made air because Lucy was competent for once) but the show does such a good job of bringing these groups of people in that I feel like it's entertaining even if the tasks don't measure up.

Not that there haven't also been absolute great tasks this year so far too.

absolutely crying with laughter at the £50 task. Gonna be real sad when this season is over, it's an all-timer.

[Skummy]

Taskmaster Hotel is an all timer.

[Chris2K]

Susan and Sue, probably the friendliest team ever, ending the series on equal points is truly amazing.
