I wonder if they asked David Mitchell and he declined but suggested his wife instead.

Watching Champion of Champions. Watching Katherine call her family was some pure :stonklol:

Also the whole of the edible masks task.

Remember the Al in Al Murray is short for Alastair. He studied history at Oxford, and was in the Oxford Revue, which is their version of Cambridge's Footlights.

I'm on ep 2 of Season 6 and I think it's already my least favourite season so far. Russell Howard has always left me cold, and his smug demeanour in this so far isn't helping his case. Lisa doesn't feel like she's trying all that hard. Tim Vine feels like he's way out of his depth and knows it. Alice I'm enjoying, and Asim I don't have a handle on yet.

Doesn�t he literally present the news on TVNZ?

A sort of news magazine kind of program. Reading up on his previous, it sounds like they somehow got the NZ equivalent of Chris Morris to present Newsnight, and do it straight.

I�ve reached the show�s zenith, I presume it�s basically downhill from here.

Watched s2e1 of NZ last night. It�s very good. Paul Williams reminded me of Matt Smith�s Doctor when he was standing around sometimes.

In the same way the UK version has had some surprisingly big names, I wonder if the NZ will get any Conchords or WWDitS alumni.

I watched the first ep of Season 7, and it's fantastic. I think it's the most I've seen Alex break, and everyone is having a good time.

Finally finished TMNZS2 - god, what an amazing run. I desperately wanted David to win, even though I knew it was unlikely. The shoestring task was amazing. :allears:

His anger is something to behold, it�s just 0 or 100, no in between.

As always Reddit is the place to go to find a copy. I'd definitely say it was a foundation that it needs to build on rather than being really strong. The house and grounds did feel a bit cramped which I think will hold them back in the long run. Series which have picked houses with bigger gardens have IMO given themselves more freedom for events to unfold in unpredictable directions.

The Danish house appears to be right in the middle of a normal street, with an appropriately small garden.

Apparently at least once per season, a contestant wants to get on the roof of the house, and they have to tell them no.

I love that David only exists at 0 - happy, fine or 100 - mind-blowingly angry. There�s no dial between the two, it�s just a two position switch.

Yeah, from watching a few NZ shows, everyone seems to have about 3-4 jobs. Karen O�Leary from Wellington Paranormal is also the headteacher of a school. Jeremy Wells is a prime time news show host and a breakfast show DJ with Matt Heath on top of being the TM.

I'd love to see Mantzoukas as a contestant. He's got that manic David Correos energy, and I think he'd be amazing. He's a UCB alum too, so he's got all that improv under his belt.

Talking of costumes:

Does this mean all the mad costuming is owned by the contestants and they all have two versions of it? Like, does Lee Mack own two Evil Knievel suits for some reason?

I can see Lou Sanders having two of her 80s Doctor Who jumpsuit made up.

I've been working on my own version of Taskmaster with some friends (posted about it a while ago in here and got some good suggestions). One of our tasks is a weird one involving a "Jury" and it's supposed to have a significant number of people that don't know anyone involved. If there's anyone in this thread that wants to be a part of it, you'd need about 15 minutes or so and a gmail account (to fill out a google form). Just let me know and I can DM you details.

Gladly, DMs are open
