New Taskmaster

I think thats my point i love the show and i believe its series 17 but when you go back to the earlier shows the contestants are more household names

It must be hard to get people to do the show now as its a whos who who's been on the show

Dont get me wrong some of the not so household names have been really good on it such as bridget Christie

Sam campbell is on at the stand in newcastle, had it not been for TM i wouldnt have a clue who he was

Its funny when contestants argue with gregg or try and cheat a task, alex always catches them out!
Alex and Greg did one of the US nightly shows to promote the show and they actually talked about having a mix of well known and less well known comedians, as well as them wanting the group to do multiple shows rather than just a one off appearance, but the line up this season are all pretty well established.
 
I think it’s used quite well to push some of the less known names on the comedy circuit into the spotlight and it does it well…
It’s one of those programmes though that I keep forgetting to watch, I love it but if I miss it I rarely watch on catch up. I can watch re runs if there’s nothing else on and I don’t need to watch them in order…
I wish I could commit to a full series though…

Has anyone bout the “board game” and attempted to play it with family? My daughter did and it was a big mistake, you really find out how “fun” your family are when they’re faced with out the box thinking 🤪🤦🏼‍♂️
Never miss it myself. Best thing on tv.
 
I liked the series with james acaster gregg's reaction was hillarious to being called a pussy
God that was so funny.

Paul Chowdry gets a vote for one of my favourite ever contestants, absolute madness.

Nearly died after he did yet another incredibly disturbing job of a task and one of the other contestants said: “I’m starting to think we shouldn’t be laughing at Paul.”
 
Frank Skinner farming tears from the camera crew by singing a sad song about a dead dog was also one of the weirdest and most brilliant TV moments of the decade. Someone commented somewhere that it was like watching a serial killer’s home videos :ROFLMAO:
 
There's some great compliation clips out there you forget just how many people have been on the show
