Florentine_Pogen Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Can someone recommend me a good British TV show that’s been made in the last few years? I’m fed up watching IT Crowd repeats. I’m not really into police dramas where everyone seems to whisper.Catastrophe. Available on All4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Taskmaster.Yes. I fucking adore Taskmaster. Start at the beginning but skip the series with Noel Fielding, because Noel Fielding is in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Lycett was excellent in that series too. One of the reasons I like the show as a whole is that it generally manages to show the good side of most of them, without their annoying traits, Nish Kumar being a prime example, where for once he comes across as quite likeable. This doesn't not apply to ALice Levine though, she's just a p***k. James Acaster is my favourite contestant, and obviously Bob is just hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the entire Alice Levine series wondering why the f**k she was on it. She wasn't funny or a particularly good lateral thinker and came across, as you say, a bit of a p***k and out of her depth. I didn't think I knew who she was but it turned out she's the most annoying one out of the three annoying c***s who do the My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast that was briefly amusing when it came out five years ago. I think the Bob series is my pick of the bunch. Lovely, lovely Sally Phillips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 My all-time favourite moment on Taskmaster was when the contestants came out of the caravan to find a telescope aimed at the task instructions, which were pinned to the wall on the far side of the yard. After they had all read them, with various degrees of difficulty, it cut back to the studio where Greg pointed out that nobody had actually said they had to use the telescope! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 No Offence was excellent, Toast of London equally so as anything involving Matt Berry usually is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenElves Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The bit on Taskmaster where Josh Widdicombe slowly realised that nobody else had to do the task of counting the baked beans in a tin/spaghetti hoops in a tin/grains of rice in a packet was great. Also, I enjoyed James Acaster calling Greg a pussy, then getting taken off stage to discuss it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I think you're all missing the point that Alice Levine is very attractive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I was happily tearing through series 4 on YouTube, looking forward to the Bob series coming up next. Then overnight, ViacomCBS have blocked the entire Taskmaster back catalogue. I assume they must own the US rights. I also assume that ViacomCBS are a shower of c***s.
