Also worried about someone running over and cutting the real hand. presumably the health and safety disqualification alarm would've gone off the second anyone went near the real hand with scissors

Still haven't clicked with this cast simply because they haven't made me laugh much. I think it is just the lack of comedic chemistry and studio banter. However I will say I have a friend who loves the show for the competitive problem solving aspect and she loves John and Steve. It is a shame her opinion is wrong, because they have both been immensely boring.

Say what you will about the rest of the episode, the prize task was amazing. And very educational.

Previous competent try-hards (i.e. Gamble and Herring) have A) been funny and B) were proper fans of the show. They were funny in their tryhardness - the clear desperation to do well and impress Greg, crushing disappointment and even rage when things didn't go their way. I am loving the dad-mance of Steve and Nick but I think Nick and John as a team would have been funnier. A bit of a handicap for John (not that Sophie or Joanne aren't tbf) and the physical comedy of the difference in their heights. Steve would have been a cute third for Joanne and Sophie as well.

Honestly, I think this was the best episode in the season so far, even the studio banter was great. Especially enjoyed Alex's minefield joke.

Mr Beens posted:Glad they are running with no reflections Yes! That is a wonderful touch. Steve looked so relaxed holding hands with Nick, but if you're used to hanging our with Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith, Dracula hardly makes an impression. I would be keen to see the other League of Gentlemen cast do Taskmaster, though I'd worry for Reece's blood pressure.

I genuinely had it in my head the other day that Reece had done it at some point, no idea why. Not like any of them does the panel show circuit either so not even sure what would have made me think that.

He did the Celeb version of Great British Bakeoff a few years back, the one Channel 4 runs for their Stand Up To Cancer charity drive. And he was...tightly wound. Perfectionism appears to be his driving trait, and being in complete control of what is happening (makes sense, given how he and Pemberton have always been the writers/directors/producers of all their own stuff). He was very good at the baking, but appeared a little out of his element in getting judged and told what to do by external forces. I really, really don't think he'd enjoy Taskmaster. Pemberton appears to be by far the more easygoing member of their duo.

I think they're running out of celebrities in Britain. I don't believe any of the people in this new season are really famous.

That tracks from what I heard from someone who worked with him. He was never outright unpleasant as such, but those characters he plays in LoG where anger is just below the surface all the time aren’t a stretch for him.

It's by no means the best opening of a Taskmaster series but I'm enjoying all the episodes. The most recent one got some chuckles out of me with the paint by numbers task and Nick and Steve having a wonderful day at the market during the team task.

This ep was much better than last weeks, and yeah, I still can’t believe Sophie isn’t the same age as Steve. Also committing to the bit of Nick not having a reflection is amazing.  I am very bored of John Robins though.

I have to agree that the new season isn't looking like it's going to be one of my favorites but I'm still enjoying it quite a bit. There has never been a season of TM UK that I didn't like, including this one.

Steve's prize tasks are so boring and unfunny. They aren't even bad enough to make fun of him for.

Mainwaring posted:In terms of global fame Nick is arguably one of the most famous contestants they've ever had. It's not an issue of technical fame. I usually don't know most of the contestants, but they usually have some kind of "it" factor that makes them seem like they belong on TV. like, season 15, I hadn't heard of any of those people except Frankie Boyle. But all the rest still seemed like real celebrities, it made sense that they were on TV, and I very quickly liked the whole cast. But this season, I dunno man. It just kinda seems like five random people. And I'm not warming to them.

They are running of out comedians and have to stoop down to let Nick Mohammed and Steve Pemberton on sure is a take.
