Didn't like Noel Fielding much in the things he has done previously, mainly arsing about on quiz shows like 9 out of 10 cats and Big Fat Quiz etc, but having seen him on Travel Man, where he behaved impeccably and now on here, quite warming to him. He might be quite good on C4 Bake off.
Anyway agree with above, it would have been nice to see a good solution to that fish bowl challenge as nobody really figured it out, and the whole editing slant was failure by muppets who don't read the exam paper.
Secondly, does Al Murray live very close to that house where they film the tasks? How did he get there in 10 minutes for Joe's camouflage test?
Thirdly, remember the first show where Mel had to get juice out of a lemon, she was doing that with one odd black shoe. She's been wearing one odd shoe on every episode, is this some long running gag, or do they film them all at one time? Can't wait to see where she's going with keeping the Taskmaster seals.

Russell and Tim should be good, can't say I've heard of the first two.
Alice Levine is a Radio 1 DJ, but seems to be trying to branch out into other stuff recently. I've never heard of the next one.ajprice said:

From memory the BBC did commission a family friendly version of Taskmaster. I think it was called The Box and wen't out in the Friday evening slot and was narrated / produced by Alex Horne and at least 1 or 2 other Taskmaster producers / writers.
I caught the end of that a few times but it didn't really do anything for me - it just seems funnier when it's "celebs" doing the tasks. I wonder if a similar thing is going on with the forthcoming "Let me get that" or whatever it's called - seems to be quite a similar format to "Alan Davies as yet untitled".The difference becomes starkly obvious on shows like Would I lie to you, which mixes comedians with sports stars and other celebrities. More often than not, the non-comedians are pretty dull "filler" and it's the comedians who really bring the entertainment. The chemistry between Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon carries that show. You could put anyone else on their teams and it would still be funny, but when you add yet another comedian, such as Bob Mortimer, it's hilarious.
Q. Who was George Michael's partner in Wham?
A. Walt Disney.
As was seeing Aisling Bea's Mum being seconded to be the only one taking photographs of that gold pineapple thing.
Rhod's Space Invaders was brilliant, as was Jessica's Mario Kart. Acaster's Grand Theft Auto was a bit lost on me due to never having played it, though family expressed disappointment with the disgraceful lack of prostitutes.

I think best series so far? Bob Mortimer and Sally Phillips also brilliant but can't remember who else was on with them. Although I still think the tasks in the first few series were better and more open.
Along with Bob and Sally were Aisling Bea
, Mark Watson and Nish Kumar. Who can forget the challenge where they were blindfolded, given a slice of bread, had to walk for some time and then had to find their way back to the start line by following a line of dropped breadcrumbs. Except a Golden Retriever had scoffed all the bread Mark Watson had dropped. We cried with laughter.This series has been the equal of that one.

It's the way Greg acts as a teacher, berating them for their stupidity that makes me laugh the most.
He's the best part. Last episode and the punishment just because it would cause carnage was funny.The appology task my immediate thought was to burn the caravan down.....
In previous shows he's had other comedians to bounce back and forth between and it's some of the funniest TV out there (Rhod Gilbert, James Acaster, Rob Becket, that Wang guy, etc. etc.).
