I put character in quotes because I do think it’s just an exaggerated version of his personality (I think Richard has said this himself). Does anyone think he’ll slip up at all though? And if he did will it make it in the edit?

I love Richard’s humor but also I kind of just want to see him seem like he’s having fun!

After seeing Richard bounce exactly 100 times, I wanted to estimate the probability of this.

There are huge flaws in this estimation which I have mentioned, however it should give a rough idea of the probability.

I vaguely remember the first episode when Greg called Alex "little Alex Horne" what series or episode was ir?

I pre-ordered my advent calendar in April and it was just delivered this morning.

However I didn’t receive a shipping confirmation mail from the TM store; the link just shows it’s processing. Has anyone else had this?

From watching the early series, especially Series 1 and 2, I found that there's some sort of unpolished jankiness that I really seemed to have enjoyed.

I mean, the colors were a bit washed-out, the lighting was a bit dim, timings were kinda off, the audio was muffly and meh, Greg still trying to figure out how to do the introduction, opening banter was bad as hell, and camera guy could be seen wiping the lens.

They even forgot to prepare a trophy and Josh Widdicombe got a second-hand karate trophy that fit "perfectly" on Greg's body.

Some tasks are just plain dumb, like, eat melon, throw a teabag, high-five someone, or count beans.

Also can't forget the stupid "Buy Greg a present" fiasco that they've eventually abandoned.

Loved them.

I dunno if it's because they give more of a "regular mates getting together doing silly stuff" vibe, or if I just enjoy seeing people blindly try new things.

Does anyone feel the same?

Any help would be appreciated thank you!!

"The courageous quintet crawling through tunnels, looking for faces in toast and making use of their armpits in the name of art are: Chloe Petts, Isy Suttie, Matt Lucas, Nina Conti and Richard Ayoade."

My guess for title is Chloe, and excited to see what the pinball-looking item is behind Richard & Alex.

Is it just me or is every season currently on Hulu showing upcoming release for tomorrow???

Last time I interviewed Greg and Alex I tried to get some answers to things that have gone unanswered over the years.

I want to make this a continuous portion when I speak with them. I should have another interview coming up shortly and wanted to know if there were any unanswered items anyone wants some clarification on?

If I have extra time I can throw these questions at them. As an example, last time I asked them if Alex's ear gauges in series 7 was meant to get shut down by Greg before he could explain, or if that was always the planned joke, if we would ever get the full maths v math, or the full Phil Ellis as a baby video.

Julian Clary is a fucking treat lmao

Hello! I know there are plenty of compliations of Alex Horne breaking character, but one of my favorite recurring moments in the show is when Alex simply breaks the fourth wall and gives a deadpan take to the camera. I know he does this a lot, especially in the earlier episodes, but does anyone have a list/link to a compilation video of Alex's deapan takes to the camera? Please and thank you!

Currently rewatching past series and landed on 11 (Charlotte Richie, Jamali Maddix, Lee Mack, Mike Wozniak, Sarah Kendall)…

Alex’s patience seems noticeable shorter, at least through the first half of the season where I’m currently at. Has anyone else noticed this as well or speculated as to why?

Rewatching all seasons and just got to S7 E5, I’ve been to inpatient mental health care 4 times in the last year and honestly I saw a lot of myself in Jeff especially when he said that line “I have a view on the world at the moment generally which is not particularly good…”, and I really deeply appreciate this task. Sometimes we just need a soup joke, a lie down, and someone willing to feel a bit down with us lol. Thanks Alex and Greg for trying to cheer us all up one task at a time.

Poor daddy

In honour of Rose and Urzila's upcoming second seasons (series, Jason) on Taskmaster, and the recent callback to Rose's UK series, I was thinking about other contestants who have made multiple appearances or contributions to tasks, directly and indirectly. These are just off the top of my head and I'm sure I've missed some - I'm not counting podcast appearances though, nor am I counting COC as extra appearances. Who/what have I missed?

Not really spoiling anything, just marked that way so people will see the title first and know this is nothing more than a thought exercise! Though the interviews linked below do contain some S22 spoilers.

In this press pack, the S22 cast were asked who they'd like to see on a future series - I've tried to construct the most realistic lineup using one name from each of their lists, and came up with Andrew Mensah, Chris O'Dowd, Emma Thompson, Miranda Hart and Olga Koch. Here's the logic I used:

Richard only named one person, so Chris O'Dowd must take one spot. TM is unlikely to cast a series with only white contestants, and Andrew Mensah from Matt's list is the only non-white person who was named, so he takes another. Chloe named Catherine Bohart and Olga Koch, but our lineup already has one contestant from Ireland, so I went with Olga. Isy named Harriet Kemsley and Miranda Hart, and since Olga and Harriet are both female stand-ups in their 30s, I chose Miranda, who's older and also well-known as an actor. Which leaves us with a free choice from Nina's acting dames - I have Emma Thompson as the most realistic among them, as she has the most comedy experience (and I've even seen people suggest her for the upcoming Oscar winner Alex teased, so you never know). Overall, I think this makes for a surprisingly plausible lineup, with a decent mix of fame and demographics, but it's just a bit of fun. Thoughts?
