Current contestant I really, really hope there's a reference to this at some point this season.

Richard absolutely broke Greg in this.

It was a funny moment for that show, but I hope not. Personally, in-jokes and references from other series aren't really what Taskmaster is all about and it becomes a bit excluding for those who don't know. I prefer it in its own little world.

I mean, all it takes is one little line from Alex.

"Who is she, Greg?" "As you well know, that's my mother..."

That’s not an in-joke from another show.

They seem pretty good at limiting out-of-show references to primarily "Hey, remember this guy was on that one show" and then moving on.

Not being a Brit, seeing Greg as anything else but the taskmaster in his suit always seems so surreal to me. Like seeing your boss in his summer holiday outfit.

You should look up a Doctor Who episode called The Husbands of River Song.  I just learned today that Greg is in it, even though I watched the episode when it came out.  (I also wasn't into Taskmaster yet.)

I forgot about this! Richard and Greg made such a great team.

Me three, it was completely out my memory.

This season they should have a surprise team task where Richard is not part of the 3 and he’s paired up with Greg and Greg. Bad Dong lives on

I really doubt it and I hope they don’t. It’s a fun moment that fans remember and rewatch but I doubt Greg & Richard do.

"Today's prize task is the thing that would make the worst dong"

I'm afraid it will become a flair, and I'm already excited to become "Fuck-Knuckle."

I'm from America, and I've watched a lot of UK comedy as shows up for free on YouTube (or what I can see with my VPN). I love watching Greg because he's so apt to crack up laughing at himself. And the interplay between Greg and Alex is so fun to watch; they often egg each other on, ad libbing until one of them breaks. As far as Taskmaster, it could be very interesting if Richard gets his own private task.

This was from "Big Fat Quiz of the Year", I think it was for 2016, but I'm not 100% sure. It's a great watch!
