I think GBBO with Alan and Lyn as the people who walk around and talk to the contestants would possibly be the best thing ever on TV

I'd love to see him filling in on a competitive cooking show and just passive-aggressively demolish every contestant.

"Join us after the break, when some comedians will be getting hurt" is perhaps the best summary of Taskmaster.

The cling-film/gaffer tape task felt half-baked. They came up with a clever conceit then finished it with the most basic of challenges.

That's the pattern with those two stage tasks; like in season 7 when the task was to make it as hard as possible for Alex to untie you, and everyone bar Rob tied themselves to the chair before a bell chimed to get them to put on a pair of overalls. Once Rob remembered what it was, he just walked over and got it.

I feel like the TM problem of instant disqualifications could be solved by having them lose points from their total if they gently caress up - but still have a reason to keep going and salvage something from the task. Jamali's reaction to being disqualified was great though.

Sausage/finger I'm sure it wasn't, but it felt like a solid 30 minutes of sausage/finger goodness before it came to an end - I remember Alex and Greg joking on stage that the editors were going to have a field day with it.

GazChap posted:I was in the audience for Sausage/Finger, and the actual length of time that was played was a *LOT* longer than the bit that made it to the broadcast. An extended version of "Sausage or Finger" was uploaded on Dave's YouTube. Someone saved it to Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/302886741 There was a lot cut, so I appreciate that production uploaded it.

The latest Series 11 TM ep is loving gold. I was thinking this is really scrapping the barrel if they are doing a fart contest, but holy poo poo.

Also, when you really think about it, Jamali quite literally stomped his way to victory, the prize task was the only time he didn't crush anything underfoot

Since we're talking about No More Jockeys does anyone know if the precursor series is online somewhere? It was a "digital bonus feature" for "We Need Answers" called "No more women". There were a series of ten matches between Key and Watson, with Horne as referee/timekeeper. Strict time controls, with a chess clock, but otherwise the same game. The matches were really fun but they don't seem to exist on YouTube any more. E: v Video shows as unavailable/private for me Undead Hippo fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Apr 23, 2021 |

Between Jamali's outbursts, making a vegan eat an egg and bite into a leather wallet, and torturing Mike Wozniak until he dislodged a haemorrhoid, I don't know what's nastier. Not that it's necessarily bad in terms of viewing experience.

Some incredibly strong Partridge energy from Richard Madeley at the start of This Is My House this week with his OJ Simpson story.

I had to laugh when I went to the wiki entry for presenters of Good Morning Britain that I couldn’t see a mention of him. When I went to his wiki page it says quote:Since August 2017 Madeley has been a relief presenter on ITV's breakfast programme Good Morning Britain.[citation needed][/citation] How has nobody been able to verify this in 4 years?!

I've recently gotten into watching Yes, Minister and I think I'm in love with Nigel Hawthorne. Humphrey is just delightfully obstructive. Then I saw they tried a reboot with David Haig and it was awful. Haig can play subtle madness really well, but they just had him going full ham.

The bbc went throught a phase of rebooting every classic comedy and every single one was bizzarely more slapstick and broader than the original.

"So many wrong'uns you know. We did OJ Simpson, Judy and I, yeah, about 6 months after he was acquitted, it was obvious within about 3 or 4 minutes. That isn't the same as proof in a court of law but in terms of that" *slaps chest* "It was obvious he was lying" Two days later I am still thinking about this and it brings me a lot of joy.

Even the ones that people widely agree are the weakest seasons still usually have at least a couple genuinely great tasks and moments. There's enough dissent on which ones are the weakest that your mileage may vary as well.
