Taskmaster

I have rewatched this show over and over, introduced everyone I know to it and pounce on new episodes with glee!

The format is amazing, I love the tasks that Alex comes up with & that there's all kinds - artistic, athletic, intellectual, obscure.

the ridiculous authority of Greg with moments of softness that are super charming. (Checking on Knappit, hugging Katherine R., the bond with Asim)

I like the way they all take criticism & the way they put their all into things. That Alex considers feedback and adapts to it instead of ignoring it. (The stage tie task stands out for that, and made me feel even more stoked on TM.)

I can't decide whether the best bit is seeing how different people's brains work as they come up with task solutions, or trying to imagine how you would do the same task (yourself or with friends).

Fave season so far is Acaster's, but it's a testament to the awesomeness of this show that it's so hard to pick!

Such a simple concept, executed flawlessly! Greg is a perfect host, Alex is a pure genius for coming up with everything, brilliant choice of contestants.

I have to admit that when my husband wanted to watch this, I had never heard of it and was skeptical. But when I saw the good reviews on here, I said ok. Glad we did! We have only watched seasons 4&5, but thought they were both funny. I think 5 is a bit better though. I would love to do some of these types of challenges with my students!

There is something special about the humor of Taskmaster. It is a funny combination of the subtle remarks of the comedians and the overtly absurd tasks they have to complete. Although the first few series are great, they still hadn't found that balance which series 4/5 onward nails. Greg Davies and Alex Horne's comedic chemistry is truly phenomenal. Also the music and editing is surprisingly good too.

10/10.

The barmy and bizarre comedy game show that pits mainly comedians against each in a series of hilarious tasks started life on the unusual place of UK Golds, and Dave channel. The station more well know for repeats and re runs.

It is the highest watched show over the entire UK Gold network and for a very good reason. For not only does the show keep itself fresh with 5 new faces every season but the kameradory between Greg and Little Alex Horne never goes stale.

Deffo worth watching box set to box set
