Looking forward to this new series.
Greg Davies looks pretty good with a beard too.

I liked Liza Tarbucks, stroll.Grin

Liza seems like she'd be MNer.

snozzlemaid · 02/05/2018 22:03

Yes! Have always liked her.
Love watching them come up with different ways of tackling the tasks.

Oh when is it one? Family favourite!

Looks like Russell Howard is going to throw money at the problems, just like Al Murray did last time. I wonder if they have the same agent?

I love it. We went to see one of the episodes being filmed this series.

Loved Tim Vine's quote after being splashed by lemon.

My only thought is that it feels a little bit as though Greg Davies' heart isn't quite in it this time.

So excited, love taskmaster!

snozzlemaid · 02/05/2018 22:22

It was on Dave earlier at 9pm

Tim Vine is my ultimate favourite ever!! So I was over the moon when my little brother text me telling me,we went to see him a couple of months ago and was hilarious.

Loved the first episode and the lemon comment brilliant!

Just caught up and got up to date with the podcast "my dad wrote a porno " so first time seeing Alice Levine who I've really taken a shine too

Obviously goes without saying in regards to Greg! Saw him at his latest tour and is hands down the funniest gig I've ever been too

Love it Grin

And little Alex Horne

Have you seen clips of the US version of Taskmaster?

Little Alex Horne has taken his format to America, LA, and he still conducts all the tasks. I think it's just launched Series 1 over there.

But the US Taskmaster is way too nice, and complimentary about all the efforts of the contestants. WTF?

"Have you seen clips of the US version of Taskmaster?"

I'd be interested to see it. I was listening to an American podcast about British panel games in general, and they said they are doubtful that it will succeed because of the tasks aren't grand enough, the marking system isn't fair and to be funny, the host needs to be able to take the piss and the contestants need to cope with having the piss taken out of them.Grin

I'm looking forward to seeing Liza and Alice. I think pp is right, Russell is just going to throw money at each task.

Taskmaster is my favourite and Greg Davies is the best comedian around, but I thought the first episode of this new series was really disappointing.

BelfastBloke · 04/05/2018 06:53

Are you aware you can already watch the second episode on the Dave website?

WishTheGroundWouldSwallowMeUp · 09/05/2018 21:46

anyone watching this week?

Grin

It was funny. Loved the darts one. When Lisa, etc covered Alex with tarpeter why didn't they just leave him holding the umbrella??
