I would love that but you’d be looking at it having to run for at least another eight years at two season per year to get there. :lol:

I enjoyed that a lot and I think this cast are pretty evenly matched. I'm not familiar with most them but past series have shown you don't necessarily need to be. Seasons 3 and 7 are my favourites and I had only seen stuff from Al and Rhod at the time I watched them.

I know all of them except Mawaan. But he was great in that episode so it doesn't matter that I don't know him from other stuff.

I really enjoyed it. The helium in the egg :lol:

I can't believe I've never watched this show until now. I finished series 2 last week. My favourite moment by far (might be hard to beat) is the emotional rollercoaster of Joe Wilkinson's potato throw and the eventual downfall. The show played that perfectly with the replay celebrating the throw and then zooming in on the foot. :lol:

It was brilliant, and I immediately knew that they were doing similar in this new episode. Cruel but hilarious.

Last night's wasn't fantastic but I think some of that is that I had one eye on the football at the same time.

It wasn't as good as week one but that's what i expected TBH with how they stack episode 1 generally with the best tasks.

I have never been a big fan of the team tasks but the one in the boat was funny

I properly lost it twice last night and both times were because of Johnny.

I didn't consider for a second that he would be doing anything other than making random noises in that task so as soon as he just started chanting "I am not a crook!" I couldn't cope.

And then again for the boat task. Watching him lay on his tummy with his feet doing a little doggy paddy at the back was incredible. :lol:

Did anyone know there is an American Taskmaster, and as you might expect, it’s awful

I watched the first season (did they even make any more?) and it was pretty bad. Alex Horne just about manages to hold it all together but the TaskMaster isn't very good and none of them really get Alex Horne's comedy.

Sweden also has a version, and that is supposedly much better than the US one.
