Paul Chowdry on form already. Bring in a photo of a handsome relative - he brings in an old photo of himself. "Yeah it's my dad's son." hehe

Really enjoyed that series. When they referenced the slo mo / speed up task part of me had a feeling it was going to involve Al and a gong again laugh Thankfully he had more clothes on this time laugh

The way they cut it together is so funny as well - poor Sara bemoaning Alex refusing to help her, or allow her to pay someone else, to move the bucket, and saying how unhappy she'd be if someone else had done exactly that. Cut back to the studio with Dave turning on his chair and looking straight at Al realising that must be what he's done hehe

I've got into this the last few days.

It's brilliant.

When they were running around doing the "clothes go the furthest" thing. I thought. I know that road, where is it???

Turns out I (and millions of others) drive past that house they use everyday. (Chiswick Bridge)

Loved Al's slowmo Gong. HIs face at the end biggrin

Glad to see that they've still got plenty of great tasks to complete even after 3 series. Can't wait for the next one.

It's strange because normally I would change the channel if pretty much any of the individual comedians were doing a stand up show, but together they work really well. Paul Choudry is a great example, I'd find his style intensely annoying on its own, but it's hilarious in the context of him having to complete tasks and compete against others.

Sure earlier on in the series they said around £350, although maybe that was for the clothes challenge in it's own right.

Just a heads up. The new series starts on Tuesday 25th April at 9PM (on Dave obviously) with an 8 episode run.

The contestants this year are Noel Fielding, Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett, Mel Giedroyc & Lolly Adefope.

Me too - I'm actively trying to get friends and family into it as it's a great show and it would be great to see many more series.

At some point though surely they're going to run out of quality new comedians to go on it?!

I love Taskmaster, but I can't stand Roisin. Her act got old within about five minutes "oh, I can't be bothered. Wait is all my time gone??" repeat every episode.
