Very funny episode.
I thought the water challenge was excellent Mawaan really thinking outside the box on the tasks.
I like them all bar Richard Herring...he does absolutely nothing original or funny to me

Harry Palmr

I see E4 call this Taskmaster Bleeped!

Rosalind (is a ****ing nightmare) was just a contestant on the chase.

Basq

Familiar face on The Chase...



D'oh.. missed BuileBeag's comment.

EDIT: Jokes ensue..

It's a different version, it's edited for daytime showing and kids.

Harry Palmr

I did know that!

Patchy episode again last night I thought.

In other news, Christmas Special on the way: https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a34724594/taskmaster-christmas-special-lineup-channel-4/

Lineup TBA.

Was hoping someone would point out that in Katherine's marble run the marble technically stopped each time it changed direction. :pac:

Christ the last task must've been horrific in real time. :pac:

I think Greg's description of Daisy and Richard as an old married couple is become more and more accurate

I liked this weeks episode, the in studio one was really good.

Richard pointless as usual.

Mr Crispy

There'll be a one-off comedian-free special for new years;

Not a great line up but could be worse. As its only one episode, the line up isn't that overly important

Basq

Other than Shirley Ballas, it's fine!

Morathi

Only familiar with Hannah and Guru-Murthy, the latter for only because of that "interview" with Tarantino.

Still, could be fun!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

An unexpected Greg Davies cameo on Taskmaster NZ this week (Season 1, Episode 7), a show which has really come in to its own (it does take a couple of episodes for everyone to relax), and I look forward to it every week as much as the UK version, so definitely still recommend it for those who can't get enough Taskmaster.

Is it being shown here anywhere? Or are other methods required?

Don't think it has been shown this side of the pond yet. I regularly fly over to New Zealand myself anyway, so have been able to watch it from the official source. I reckon if you're used to sailing the seven seas though, you may stumble upon it in one of your usual spots...

This acting thing is the worst task that's ever been on the show.

Totally agree. It's a sh*t task made worse by the fact that it's being drawn out for so long.

Katherine inadvertently redeemed it somewhat by just not learning her lines, and Greg's comments about Richard at the end helped, but f*ck it was a painful watch.

My mother phoned me during the first task so I missed most of that one. If only she'd waited another 10 minutes...

Zaph

Even the final task was crap. That will definitely go down as the worst episode ever.

Harry Palmr

I loved the mini drama, Herring is definitely going to be nominated for a BAFTA

siblers

The monologue task was good in theory but didn't really work at all.

Richard was impressive but didn't make for great television

Yeah. Easily the worst episode in any series

Mr Crispy

Pretty poor episode alright. They can use the tasks in whatever show they want, so I don't know why they don't spread some of the duff tasks out among the whole series instead of lumping them all in together.

This season has had a lot of fairly bad tasks. The ones they didn't pick must be very bad

At best, they should have done it only with Richard, as one of those "Here's a task we only got one of the contestants to do".

They haven't done any of those solo tasks this season. Would have worked very well as an individual task for Richard alright.

Not for me...at least a couple of worse episodes in series 6 and 8.
The acting task wasn't great, and far too long it was a good idea though.
Katherine was fun she couldn't be bothered and in fairness to Richard Herring he did amazingly to remember his lines.
I enjoyed the last task.
