Yeah Guz Khan has always been great. Bit disappointed with Alan Davies though, even though the scissors was the right option it's just clearly not the show for that. Hoping he settles in to it a bit.

I was hoping that the string wasn't actually connected to the portcullis, and instead dropped a second balloon.

Same! They should have done that.

Agreed, it was a very boring choice.

I mean, it's obviously the right choice, but you'd at least chuck a couple of free ducks first just for the fun of it, wouldn't you?

No! Just watched it on catch up. Good cast I think; better than I was expecting. Can’t help but think that ‘the lovely’ VCM is going to finish an extremely, and I mean extremely, distant last! The lass that chucked an entire bucket of forks though, kudos to her. Really promising start.

David Mitchell's brand-new comedy entertainment series Outsiders sees David challenge a returning cast of three pairs of comedians to prove they've got the mettle and skills to thrive in the great outdoors. Comedians going to head to head are:Toussaint Douglass, Ed Gamble, Kerry Godliman, Jessica Knappett, Jamali Maddix and Lou Sanders.

https://dave.uktv.co.uk/shows/outsiders/

Just a reminder that this starts today. Clearly Dave’s response to losing Taskmaster, but could be good it its own right.

Whilst I've never seen him in anything, David Mitchell strikes me as someone that talks a lot of waffle.

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Apart from Toussaint Douglass (whomever that is) every single contestant has been on Taskmaster. And the host's wife.

I'm a big big Peep Show fan, but both Mitchell and Webb appear to be utter banana splits in real life.

I've heard that about Webb. He screamed at a runner my sister knows and made her cry.

He's also a transphobe. Not thought of favourably in some publishing circles for the way he's positioned himself in the important gender conversation (see his commercially successful, but problematic book).

I knew Webb was a twat, what has Mitchell done?

To be fair, nothing beyond being smug and self-entitled. There's been two occasions where I've played poker in the same room as his wife, and he's sat in the corner waiting for her to finish looking miserable.

To be fair, watching people play poker is boring as strawberry float.

Some people would pay good money to sit in the corner waiting for Victoria Coren Mitchell to finish.

The unbridled lust this forum has for Victoria Coren Mitchell could power a small country. :lol:
