Well yeah, not so keen on Sally Phillips either.Oh yeah I do like Alex Horne and Greg Davies.
No, Nish Kumar is annoying and all of them are trying too hard. He might have a strange laugh but that doesn't make him funny, then when he uses his race for jokes etc you have to compare it to Paul Choudry who is much funnier, wittier and doesn't rely on a laugh to get him by.
What's the point in the woman out of Bridget Jones?
Mark Watson is meant to be the intelligent one, but he doesn't get anywhere near to the Hugh Dennis levels of trying to be clever so it isn't funny
Aisling Bea sometimes seems quite witty on things like 8 out of 10 cats, but so far has just done a couple of weird things. I don't really like Noel Fielding but he did the weird act so much better.
The good thing about the format is that even if you're not keen on someone on it you don't have to put up with them for long. Mark Watson's my least favourite so far and he's been good value at times. I like Sally Phillips' role as the supposedly sensible one, like Mel of And Sue fame previously.
I've seen them all from the start, so don't know how I've missed this thread previously.
My favourite part of any series so far - the counting 'tasks' given to Josh Widdicombe. Also loved Al Murray paying for everything and Paul Chowdhry / Joe Wilkinson being completely inept - they've tried to replicate a useless one in each series since, but it feels a little more contrived now ... or perhaps I'm just too cynical!
Alex Horne is fantastic in this. I didn't realise that the whole show is really his and it's one of those Edinburgh Festival things they commissioned for TV
Well yeah, not so keen on Sally Phillips either.
Paul Choudry was great, but Nish Kumar is a completely different kind of comedian.
The race stuff I don't find funny, but he does have so many more funny things to say.. for me at least and I really enjoy his attempts in the tasks too. Find his approaches to them both clever and inventive (the paint in the dark one, the portable vacuum as a motor one in the boat etc.)
Swap Rob Beckett for Richard Osman or Tim keyJoe Wilkinson, Bob Mortimer, Josh Widdecombe, Rob Beckett and Katherine Ryan.
Probably forgotten about some really good ones mind.
I just found his laugh infectious. Especially remember the task on the river bank when they had to shout across to the other side.Swap Rob Beckett for Richard Osman or Tim key
It would be good for them to do a series with all the best comedians from previous years. Who would everyone pick?
Should be excellent.You're in luck, kind of. Not a series but Taskmaster: 2-part champion of champions special on its way
Yeah. Mel Giedroyc was pretty good on it.There have been a few people on this that I don't find funny normally who have been quite good on TM, so as you say we should perhaps reserve judgement until it's been aired, even regarding the incredibly unfunny RH!
The good news is that it's back on this week.
The bad news is that Russell Howard is one of the contestants.
There is also Lisa Tarbuck.
The rest are Tim Vine, Alice Levine and Asim Choudry.
Just have to wait and see I suppose. But a bit of a comedown after Bob Mortimer.
The unseen one last time out wasn't very good either.Had a look on demand last night but it wasnt there, watched the "unseen" thing and it was pretty shite.
Funny old world isn't it, because I found it poor and barely raised a titter.Everyone good on the first episode I thought. The format wins! Liza Tarbuck's an early favourite, the one who gives the least shit is always fun.
Yeah, very poor. I barely raised a smile.I didn't think it was up to much
