    Like this show, but it would be nothing without Greg Davies.

    Frankie and Ivo collecting spoons will go down as one of the great tasks. I was howling with laughter.

    Could do with some help finishing off a task. I am doing a taskmaster night tomorrow (3rd we have done) and I need help finishing off a live task. The competitors will pick a member of the audience as their partner. The partner will then tie them up as best they can and try to untie another competitor as quickly as possible. I want to put a wind up task in the middle though that is difficult, but doable whilst tied up, and won't involve them having to break free. Any ideas?

    Ask them to sing a song, get them all singing different songs at the same time.

    Just binged through Series 16 over the last two days and honestly, this series is an instant classic for me. So much creativity on display from each and every single of the five participants, it was Taskmaster at its best.

    Odd you say that. I thought it was absolutely shite, not necessarily because of the contestants but the tasks provided zero entertainment compared to the originality of past series. I'd rate it as the worst I've seen and I may draw a line under it now.

    I thought the contestants were good. A little annoyed at times by Lucy Beaumont purposefully acting stupid but I suppose that's her "act". I agree with Stret to an extent. Maybe they need to just do it once a year. Feels like there's a new one far too regularly now which kind of ruins it's novelty.

    Still a great show. Love Greg and Alex's partnership.

    I've fallen off this show - I missed a series, watched (and enjoyed) the one that Dara O'Briain won, and now have missed another two series on the trot. I did enjoy the New Year's special one with Mo Farah and Carol Vorderman in it.

    Used to love it, but it doesn't pull me in like it used to?

    I did defer watching it until they uploaded the series on Youtube and then binge watched it, maybe that made it feel less boring/noticeable? To be fair to them, it was always going to be difficult to keep coming up with good tasks year in, year out.

    They have made the tasks too convoluted, one of all time favourites was this one - simple but cracked me up!

    The final episode of season 6 has just been shown again on Dave and watching Alex Horne sit his naked arse down in a cake courtesy of Lisa Tarbuck had me laughing so hard that I had tears running down my face :laugh:

    That's a throw back to when it was a decent watch - I've pretty much already given up on the present series (17), it's become boring.
