New Taskmaster- anyone watching?

[anonacfr]

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

Good point, @SprogTakesAQuarry but then I think there's a risk of becoming very typecast if you act as well as do comedy. All of the roles I've seen Joe in, he's the same and Lucy by her own admission doesn't get / do much acting work.

Last week's podcast with John Kearns was very funny.

I also listened to a podcast with Greg and Alex on and they mentioned some people who they'd nearly got on - Dawn French and, for the festive special, Stephen Graham!

@Mooserp - which podcast was that? (with Greg and Alex) I love the TM podcasts (the official one, and the one with Jenny Eclair), but it sound like there are more!

It was They Like to Watch.

Only listened as those 2 were guests. 😁

Anyone watching tonight? (Hi Greg - it's just me watching I think!)
Sam's hair...wtf...

I'll watch on catch up tomorrow. Much as I love Julian, I'm just not as invested this series. Plus, Sam is weird.

Sorry, Greg.

You think Sam is weird? Wait til you see tonights 😂

Do you think Julian’s prize task was Paul O’Grady?

No. Paul is buried somewhere, wasn't cremated.

@TitsInAbsentia thanks! I was looking online for whether it could be and some things fit, so I wasn’t sure

Sue and Susan did make a good team, which I didn’t think I saw coming at the start of the series

Looking forward to the new year reveal at the end of the episode!

I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at a single episode all series 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The hotel task was great - weird but great!

Interesting new year bunch - feels like ages away though!

Oooh, intriguing! They’ll have to keep the language PG-13 with Lenny involved!

We are watching on catchup at the moment and have just got to part 2. I’ve not smiled once yet. They all seem to be trying too hard to be silly and “shocking”. Ho hum. Looking forward to seeing the next competitors.

Great episode. Loved all the tasks, Sam lurking in the caravan in the hotel task made me shriek with laughter.

Looking forward to the new year show. I have seen who's on the next series although I can only remember 4 of them 🤔

I suppose with Lenny involved they’re giving us a semi-taster of what the kids version will be like, albeit with slightly younger non-famous kids

I feel very sad now. I only discovered Taskmaster in May, and have been catching up since then. We finished S15 just before S16 started, so now - for the first time in over 6 months - I have no Taskmaster to watch. Sad times indeed.

I loved this series. I loved all 5 of them for different reasons. But Sue was my favourite.

You'll just have to start on the foreign ones, @ReviewingTheSituation 😉

Tbf they were told to be shocking, that was the task.

Yes, but I mean in general, not just that one. I quite liked the hotel one, Sue and Susan seemed to be so happy at playing receptionists and took it seriously, which made it funnier for me. I think Julian seborrhoeic it too. I loved Susan's reaction to the forks and marbles 😂

The podcast with Sam is hilarious (if you like Sam)

Not the best series but I enjoyed it. I really hope Julian or Sue would win. Loved Sue and Susan's naughty schoolgirl stuff.
