Omg.. I have recently found taskmaster, this is the best show ever.

Who else watched this, and who is your favourite contestant? X

I have watched ALL series.

The recent one ( 10 ) was okay ..... but not anywhere near the quality of past series. It was also somewhat 'apparently' more contrived. I don't know if it's move to Ch4 has any impact on this.

To choose a faveourite contestant from all 10 series would be too difficult there have been some very cool people.

I found Catherine Parkinson highly irritating and Jonny ( tho I love him ) just not funny and simply stupid.

Mawann Rizwaan - watch this space.

Agree with Granny as the recent series was nowhere near as good as previous on Dave. And nothing to do with the contestants who are just as good as previous series. The tasks just seemed to be quite boring.

I think Frank Skinner and James Acaster were great fun to watch, but in all honesty there’s not been anyone on that I have felt they were a waste of time.

Enjoyed the latest series... not the best, but I thought the line up was pretty good. Daisie May Cooper was the stand out for me.

All-time, Bob Mortimer up there with my favourite contestants, but I think he's great in most things.

My all time fav show!

Its certainly my kind of humour! And I like seeing the contestants be 'real'

It's also my fav show to watch when I'm a bit down or stressed. Helps me switch off and enjoy the moment

Also a new convert and working through them with hilarity.

So far I’ve most liked Noel.

I only started watching it a couple of months ago and just on season 10 now.

My favourite was season 2 and wish it had more than 6 episodes. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at Joe Wilkinson's potato throw

Honestly Daisy May Cooper seemed like fun at first but jesus did I hate her by the end. Just a proper miserable, angry cow.

Same.

Though I thought the anger was fake and was part of her character.

What I found annoying and nauseating was the rib holding self pissing laughter at the slightest thing.....

Greg would just say her name and she'd be rolling and holding her belly and gasping....... fucking ridiculous for an adult.

Just a large child really.

It’s the best show on TV. Stand out bits for me have been

Joe Wilkinson’s Potato throw

Mel Gedrioc eating her exotic sandwich

Jess Knappet falling off the stage

If you’re a proper nerd for it then there’s also a podcast hosted by Ed gamble. Also very funny

In late on the thread, but have been watching Taskmaster from the start. Bob Mortimer's been my favourite contestant (by an absolute mile), but I aslo thought Tim Key and Richard Osman were brilliant. I really didn't like Iain Stirling at all, and I thought Joe Thomas was a bit out of his depth (I didn't HATE him, but I thought that he didn't really contribute very much), so it was unfortunate that they were both on series 8, which was probably my least favourite season. I also have to say that at the end of their respective seasons, I had real crushes on Sally Phillips, Alice Levine and Rose Matafeo!

I really don't like it

The host is a better comedy character actor than he is a host

I can't stand that Alex Horn

He's about as funny as a burning orphanage

Honestly, Sally could lie on top of me and give me a "special cuddle" any day of the week, even if it meant that she also had to stuff cake into my armpits! I don't know how Alex managed to stand it..
