Taskmaster - Channel 4 (Thursdays 9pm). Best show on television. Series 15 airing now!

Went into the series excited for Lee Mack, came out of the series thrilled with how much I now like Mike, Charlotte and Jamali. Shame about Mike not winning so we can’t get more of him.

Obviously it’s no series 7, but I think it will be one of my most memorable series because of Mike’s antics. The guy is incredible.

I think this was probably Mike’s prize task moment in the finale.

Bit weird that they reversed the footage to show more of it, as if nobody would notice.

I really enjoyed Mike this series.

In the topic of contestants finding loop holes - I feel the tasks are being written much more strictly these days. There tends to be multiple lines in each one about what you can and can't do - almost like the creators are annoyed that contestants have been creative in the past.

Just started watching, WTF has Mike done to his hair :lol:

Charlotte has turned into some sort of crush for me this season.

Honestly think it's better than the 2 most recent series. Just don't compare the handsome dude to Greg and you're golden. The comedians are hit or miss, with the mustache rapist being a proper twat. But the chubby girl Angela is very funny as the series goes on.

Pleasantly surprised.

Good find Curls, I'll give this a shot!

Whatever you do, don't watch the american one. It's very.... american

I do feel like them two countries down south have the most similar humour to the British. I think by about Epi 3/4 i was fairly hooked. The tasks are mostly quite original too. And human contact is allowed because they have a competent Government.

It was nice to see so many original tasks when I watched the NZ version. I binged watched all of it in one day and agree with Curls, that guy with the moustache was a bloody irritant.

Yay. I'm glad my post brought someone a binge watch. I was a bit cautious as I didn't want all the 'it's gooseberry fool' posts, but i think it's fairly decent!

What did you think of the celebs?

Angela I thought was delightful, very strange, very odd sense of humour, but the kind that is different and works. Can't tell if it's all an act, or if she's actually like that.

Brynley - that's a boy's name in wales. Was quite pleasant. At first I thought she'd grate on me and be the american cheerleader type, but she just came accross as a fun and positive person. Would happily see more of her if she fancied coming to the UK.

Guy - Stupid mustache. Stupid face, only got on it as his brother was 'Alex'. Stop standing up you knob. Although you could tell, in some ways he was kind of a good bloke. Just very much in love with himself.

Leigh - I liked him. A ruff and gruff guy who attempted the tasks a bit differently. Not the funniest, but his approach to things and his chat kept him interesting enough.

Madelieine - COuldn''t make my mind up on her. Sometimes I really liked her, other times she was annoying. In some ways i feel she may have been more in love with herself than guy, but Guy wasn't trying to hide it. Reminded me of a bit of a Kerry Godlimon type character, who again I could never make my mind up on. Rickey Gervais misses her though.

Edit : And the hosts.

I really can't remember the name of the Alex replacement. But i really liked him. Some of the things he did were a bit too 'trying to be alex' but in the moments where his individuallity came out, he was a very likeable chap and his friendship with Angela was sweet. He also hates his arrogant brother that is Guy, or at least the way his brother acts on telly!

Jeremy - no Greg Im afraid. But he's likeable enough. His points dishing out is bizarre though and where Greg explains points he dishes out; (you don't argue with him even if you don't agree.) Jeremy isn't mean or scary enough for that. You just wanna reassign the points correctly!

Isn't that always the first step of the Taskmaster cycle, which ends with "I LOVE THESE PEOPLE"?

I watched up to the end of the first real task and I quite like most of them so far. I am not however, warming to the replacment Alex and Greg.

Alex replacement is pretty good

Greg replacement bad. He's far too vanilla.
