Love Taskmaster, and that is a good line-up.

Much better than the last few series.

Daisy May Cooper is great, too.

Taskmaster was brilliant in the beginning then tailed off rapidly. I hope they can save it.

90's Vegas would have been incredible. He's chilled out a lot these days.

Herring. He has been looking forward to this for years...

He needs to just miss out on winning.

Alex Horne is either very messed up or a genius!

Great show.

+1! I think Alex Horne did too.

Didn't think it was a great series though.

This series was a bit flat, i think due to the covid restrictions but also some of the tasks weren't that good at the start of the series. The last two episodes have been really good though, the 5 doors one and the doorbell one were really funny.

New lineup looks good too!

Vegas had me crying with laughter most episodes, however, for me, his standout moment was when the balloons floated away from him in the first/early episode, his cry of Nooooooo! Killed me. Highly underrated moment

^^^agreed...everyone loves Taskmaster in our house and have seen them all. I didnt think this was the best series but still very good. Always surprises me about who I think will be funniest/most entertaining at the start of a series and, invariably by the end, this wont be the case. Still think Greg & Alex are consistently good

I'm pretty sure Tim Key helps with the tasks since he was on it.

Yep, family essential viewing for us, though I can't help feeling disappointed with the series winner :/ I

I haven't caught up yet but Daisy May Coopers knowledge of 4 letter words was excellent i thought.

Only just discovered Taskmaster in the last month or so but been smashing through them. Really funny. Makes so called comedians I don't find funny at all very watchable such as Jo Brand, Josh Widdicombe etc. The series with David Baddiel in was good - that guy doesn't seem to have any filter, just comes out with brilliant comments!

I’m pretty sure Tim Key helps with the tasks since he was on it.

He is listed on the credits as "Task Consultant" or something similar.

I'm a big fan of Mike Wozniak who will be in Series 11. He was part of the team that did the Small Scenes sketch show on BBCR4, and his 'St Elwick's Neighborhood Association Newsletter Podcast' is excellent, if you are in to that sort of thing. Listen from the beginning if you can.

There's a new years special as well with John Hannah, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Nicola Coughlan, Rylan Clark-Neal & Shirley Ballas.

What's your dream line up? 5 guests chosen from all previous series.

Mine? Joe Wilkinson, Johnny Vegas, James Acaster, Rhod Gilbert and Bob Mortimer (I know there are no Women in my line up, not intentional, If I could have a 6th then it'd be between Aisling Bea, Jo Brand and Liza Tarbuck)

Having just looked on wikipedia for a list of contestant names I see they've listed a forthcoming champion of champions II series (as well as the NY special)
