New Taskmaster- anyone watching?

[anonacfr]

I know he's controversial but I do love Frankie Boyle...

[BridgetRandomfuck]

Seems to be shaping up quite nicely so far - liking all the contestants. Even Frankie Boyle, who I don’t normally have much time for.

[Mysterian]

Best show on TV.

I think Mae will win. Kiell second, then Ivo, and Frankie and Jenny fighting for last.

[SgtCatherineCawood]

I am watching. Not going to lie it always takes me a few episodes to get into it when I don't know who they all are (only Jenny and Frankie this time) but I love Mae already (having not really heard of them before) and want them to win

[Umanresources]

First time I’ve heard of all of them. Really enjoyed the first one , especially the barge one! Love Ivo and Mae especially. Didn’t actually mind Frankie Boyle either.

[CaveMum]

Watching it as it’s one of my favourite shows, despite the fact that I can’t abide that misogynistic tw*t Frankie Boyle.

The silent dancing task was hilarious, and apparently purely because they didn’t want to pay for the rights to broadcast the songs 🤣

The string task was classic TM.

I’m listening to the TM podcast this morning which has Dara O’Brien talking last night’s episode through with Ed.

[SgtCatherineCawood]

Oooh thanks @CaveMum you've settled an argument with DH as I said
I bet it was to do with the rights to play the songs!

[Samcro]

I hate Frankie Boil(disablist twunt) but love the show. so am pretending he is someone else.

[Botw1]

I enjoyed it

I find Frankie Boyle funny (mostly)

I loved his comment about god. Although I wasn't sure if Mae was being serious

Looks like it will be a good 1

[TrenchVagina]

I am loving Jenny Éclair BRACE BRACE!!!

[CaveMum]

@TrenchVagina

I am loving Jenny Éclair BRACE BRACE!!!

And I’m loving your Username!

[Floralnomad]

I really dislike Frankie Boyle but I’m going to watch and see how it goes , last night was fine . I don’t much care for Jenni Eclair either .

[Bimbleberries]

I'm enjoying it so far, even though I've only just heard of Frankie Boyle and Jenny Eclair ,but know very little about them ,and not heard of the other three.

It still made me laugh a lot

I quite like Ivo and Mae. I take it Mae likes non-binary pronouns rather than female, given how Alex and Greg talked about them. And is Canadian. Ivo just seemed quite good natured generally. Jenny seemed a little try-hard, but still funny. I really liked Kiell too, so full of confidence but at the same time quite enjoyable to watch, rather than hoping for his comeuppance, so he must have done something right.

[Mooserp]

I'm watching! I mentioned before that I went to one of the recordings. Not sure which episode it was. So I'm interested to see how it has been edited.

I thought frankie looked like Eddie Izzard when dressed as a bride 😄

Loved the sabotage in the team task.

[Mooserp]

LIVE task! 😣

[SgtCatherineCawood]

@Bimbleberries I checked their Wikipedia page last night whilst watching (to check their age of all things!) and it said this

Martin came out publicly as non-binary in 2021.[44][45] Martin uses they/them and she/her pronouns, saying, "I love it when people say 'they' but I don't mind 'she' at ALL."

[SmoothSeasDoNotMakeGoodSailors]

It always takes me a while to settle into a new series but watched this tonight and think it's going to be a good un! Mae was great and I really liked Kiell who was the only one I hadn't heard of before. Mae for the win!

[CaveMum]

Anyone who has never seen Kiell before needs to watch BBC comedy “Ghosts”. One of the best shows of recent years, written by (and co-starring) the original actors from Horrible Histories.

[Mooserp]

I've only seen him in Stath Lets Flats before this

[SoupDragon]

I was dreading Frankie Boyle but he's coming across fine in this (Based on one episode!).

[CwmYoy]

I love Jenny. I'm going to enjoy her banter with Greg.

I enjoyed all of them. I think Frankie is going to foul up may more times.

[CaveMum]

Anyone else watching tonight?

[Botw1]

Yes was good.

Frankie looks like he doesn't know what he's doing there a lot of the time

Loved him and ivo in the team task.

Enjoying all of them actually

Mae's verging on the smug a bit?

[WWGDD]

I thought Kiell should have won the musical task. It's lame when Greg gives them all the same points.

[SoupDragon]

Yes, he had lyrics!

[Knackerelli]

Loving this series! Knew Kiell from ghosts and he is not disappointing 😃 The glove on a foot was great. I’m liking the tasks too. Sometimes they’ve felt a bit ‘we’ve done something similar that worked’ Poor Ivo, it was obvious Frankie had no idea who he was.
