True or false? Ooooooooh.....

Series 12 of Taskmaster has officially announced the latest line-up of contestants.

Attempting to complete the challenges set by Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne will be Alan Davies (QI), Desiree Burch (Live At The Apollo), Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen), Morgana Robinson (The Morgana Show) and Victoria Coren Mitchell (Only Connect).

This has been pulled (removed) from several sites so is either (a) rubbish or (b) early.

AD I could see being fairly dull, but Guz Khan and Morgana Robinson could be very entertaining. She's a total nutter. Desiree Birch is pretty full on as well. VCM could eb good, but also has the potential to be quite dull. I hope the former.

That's the trouble with this show - you can never tell how the chemistry is going to work, and S11 was a significant improvement on S10, when I'd expected S10 to be briliant on paper.

Wozniak. That had me howling and choking on my brew for 5mins Only Lee Mack was the relative let down for me - Sarah Kendall I really liked.

Sarah kendall improved as the series went along , great hair.

I think Sarah was fantastic - never heard of her before, but enjoyed her heavily antipodean attitude.

I think Morgana will be fantastic next series - very funny. Though the rest of them I can take or leave

I've been watching Taskmaster NZ in the meantime. It's good - they get it right in all the ways the US one didn't.

Series 2 is a cracker if you ignore New Zealand's equivalent to David Baddiel (Matt Heath).

[Steamer]

This could be good

Guz & Morgana are favorites of mine

I'm sure Alan will be entertaining

+ interested to see how much common sense VCM has in the tasks

[silobass]

Absolutely love Taskmaster. We started watching it on the 4Player from the beginning a bit back and are just about to start season 10. Glad to see the new one starting soon, we'll get there eventually.

The blonde second from left looks like a shop mannequin. Hope she re-animates for the series!

You don't recognise Victoria Coren? She is media aristocracy.

In my defense, there's only one blonde woman in that picture.

Tad red but not much, strawberry blonde no idea who she is.

Looking forward to finding out a bit of how Morgana is in real life... the characters she plays are always absolute fruit loops

And conversely, as Steamer said, how will VCM bear up away from maths, stats, and any form of logic?

Meanwhile, Alan Davies presumably odds-on fav to be the warm cuddly heart of the series.

The lovely VCM is not a blonde either…collar does not match cuffs…

In my defense, I was looking at the picture on a very small phone with a potato screen.

She was good value on an episode of Travelman… eg https://youtu.be/9masFj2C87I

And while there is one task that I used to think should never be repeated because it’s an iconic moment from a previous series, I can’t express how much I’m looking forward to her doing ‘Sit on a cake’ in the new one

That's the same run she does in Toast of London

[Steamer]

indeed

[Swervin_Mervin]

I'm really looking foward to this series. Always been a fan of Morgana and I hope she doesn't let us down in this. Sometimes a seemingly good list of contestants on paper doesn't always work in the show though.

It ready for series record for this time next week for set top boxes, just seen advert looking forward to this.
