He's poo poo and just seems like a bellend some of the time. Alice is alright, sometimes she's funny and has good ideas for the tasks but if she wasn't as cute as she is I doubt I'd like her as much as I do. Asim is literally the worst person that's been on it, an awful combination of unfunny and unimaginative. Tim and Liza are good

I really enjoy Asim, I don't know what's unfunny about him!

This series so far has been great and the only one I've really disliked has been the one with Al Murray and Dave Gorman because the contestants didn't bounce off each other as well.

I still absolutely hate Russell Howard though. In that task where you had to find out what you had in common with the lady he just sat talking about himself for goddamn ages. He's so loving awful.

Finding it hard to remain engaged with Taskmaster. This is undoubtedly the weakest panel to take part, but maybe I’m just finding it a bit samey now.

I've only seen series 1 and most of this series, but it's not the same. I love Alice Levine but she seems to want to win each task with minimal effort, when it's maximum tomfoolery that makes uk quiz shows worth watching. Liza Tarbuck is the best one.

I've been watching ITV player lately while the world cup is on and there's a lot of ads promoting the "blockchain solution". Is that poo poo on broadcast TV as well?

(I moved into my current flat a year ago and it didn't have a TV aerial, but I pretty much only used the TV for netflix, prime and iplayer anyway so :effort:)

After everything I’ve read in the Bitcoin thread, I can’t wait for my entire house to be hooked up to the ‘chain so my washing machine can charge me per load and my fridge can charge per minute.

IDK what the stuff with the old hologram people was about. Either advanced Skype or trying to bring people back from the dead via block chain.

A week or two ago I saw an ad for Big Narsty’s new chat show in which he claimed it would be the “blackest thing on television”. A laudable goal, but one slightly undercut by the voiceover announcing “the Big Narsty Show, this week featuring Ed Sheeran”.

I've been watching Hustle. I watched a bit of it while it was originally on but was never hugely into it - I was too young to appreciate it, hadn't seen The Sting or Ocean's Eleven or anything yet - but it's really entertaining. Having had little else to do outside work, I've powered through six out of eight seasons in the past week and a half.

Never realised Hustle, Spooks and Life On Mars / Ashes To Ashes all had the same production company, but I shouldn't be surprised because all of them altogether (and New Tricks) are what I think of when I think "early/mid-2000s BBC drama".

Holy poo poo, theres a Ch4 show called Celebrity Sextortion about a guy who got recorded wanking on his webcam and got blackmailed. And he's hosting the show!

I forgot the Chuckle Brothers had a new show coming out. Caught some of it last night and it was just them talking over YouTube videos of funny cats and #yogafails. It was basically You’ve Been Framed but I don’t think they’ve paid anyone for the clips.

Basically, it’s a sweet gig and I’m jealous. I want to be paid to talk about cute babies.

I never had much of an opinion on Richard Bacon, but Richard Herring booked him on his show and it ended up being one of the best episodes he ever did.

Hope he pulls through.
