Taskmaster - Dave

[youngsyr]

Anyone watching this - I find it very amusing and there are 2 previous series available online.

It's a shame it hasn't got a higher profile as it does work well as a format.

Having 7 comedians on a show with absurd challenges - what's not to like?! It even makes watching comedians you don't normally like enjoyable, as often their the butt of the jokes!

By some strange coincidence I saw Alex Horne (the assistant on Taskmaster, but in reality the guy who came up with the format) in a country park today. He was with his young family so I didn't pester him for a chat.

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.

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.

Looking forward to it!Dave have secured a 9th season already,which is great.Good to see that it's quite popular.

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?!
