Homer Thompson Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Really enjoy it. Obviously a lot of the quality comes down to the contestants, but I cant think of a series I didnt enjoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 The first nine series are on All4. I've never actually watched it properly, I've only ever seen bits of them. Romesh Ranganathan and Tim Key smashing their watermelons on the floor was fucking hysterical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Love Taskmaster and thought the new episode was excellent. Not too sure about the blonde pregnant woman, she has potential to be quite annoying. The woman from the IT Crowd makes up for it though. I didn’t realise Taskmaster started as an Edinburgh fringe show about 10 years ago, might be wrong but I believe Tim Key was the brains behind it, along with a few others I imagine. His name appears in the credits on the TV show as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 On to series two. Looking forward to watching Richard Osman looking at Katherine Ryan like the big nerdy freak at a school disco the whole time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 On to series two. Looking forward to watching Richard Osman looking at Katherine Ryan like the big nerdy freak at a school disco the whole time.I rewatched all series recently and 2 is one of my favourites. The task where they have to conceal pineapple on their person is excellent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Surprised Johnny Vegas didn't die during that boat task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Vegas screaming "Iam not a crook" on an umpire's chair ala Nixon had me laughing like a drain! I remember seeing Vegas at the festival about 25 years ago when he was just starting out when he still did all the pottery as part of his act. I wasn't surprised his Greg portrait was so good. Clearly an artist as well as a piss artist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I love Johnny Vegas. Think he comes from an arty background so not surprised to see him do well at the portrait task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Some seasons have started slowly and built up as they went and this one will probably be the same due to the lack of crowd and strange circumstances in which filming took place. Ed Gamble drawing with his finger on David Baddiel's back was hilarious. By the end of that season you were left wondering if Baddiel needed someone to put his shoes on for him in the morning. The Nish Kumar/Sally Phillips season was a hoot, in particular Mark Watson's attempts to send a text to Greg Davies every day for six months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 3 i think, where they had to make a snowman, might be my favourite. Everyone making fairly respectable snowmen out of mashed potatoes and the like and then Paul Choudhry goes and makes the grimmest thing imaginable. Outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
