My Lovely Horse posted:Left-field choice, but extremely solid. I always like mainly-actors on the show, they're so easily overwhelmed. Anyone else never liked Phil Jupitus? He always had an off putting try-hard style on Buzzcocks and QI and I imagine it being even worse on taskmaster.

Engage with the newer Twitter comedians and get someone like Alastair Green / Sean Burke on. Especially because he roasts dickheads like Phil Wang regularly. https://twitter.com/mralistairgreen/status/1134386244094496770?s=21 Not the guy who does the phone call bit though, gently caress that.

Don't expect to see anyone on Taskmaster who isn't represented by Avalon.

Oh ok, I thought dickhead meant like, proper bad poo poo. Not just being crap on taskmaster (which he was and most of the time not entertainingly so).

I liked him well enough, but I think having him, James and Rhod in the same series was slight overkill in terms of the delightful weirdo quota.

I'd like to see Michael Legge on Taskmaster and/or Danielle Ward or Margaret Cabourn-Smith. Anyone from Do the Right Thing tbh.

They should get Jack Whitehall on Taskmaster. And Robert Webb, Laurence Fox and that one tory-voting comedian the BBC keeps putting on the News Quiz for fear they'd otherwise be forced to sell Radio 4. poo poo, who else is there... Alan Titchmarsh?

DurosKlav posted:David Mitchell and Victoria Coren on the same taskmaster lineup is my dream. Someone please make it happen. I was actually thinking that last night! Do a comedian couples one off, married teams that do all task together. Those two, the Richardsons, and Sarah Millican/Gary Delaney Even though Jon has already been on it.

Ade Edmondson/Jennifer Saunders, while we're at it, although I have to say I'd feel a bit uncomfortably invasive watching the comedy couples show.

The airline video task was really bad It essentially boiled down to "be funny in this setting" which had predictably poo poo results.

Red Oktober posted:I started with S4 as well after asking in this thread 'what's the best series to start on', apparently it's the best introduction? 4 is very funny but the dom/sub relationship with Greg and Alex has already been established, Series 1 sets the tone of the show in THE VERY FIRST TASK. Also it's hilarious seeing Romesh Ranganathan constantly pissed off in the studio segments.

A little surprising but C4 have axed THE CIRCLE. I guess they wanted a ratings juggernaut rather than something that just does fairly well.
