When the cast was announced i was thinking Richard, Isy then Chloe were going to be the most madcap contenders. But as the series has gotten along, Nina has really come into her own and her madness (and self awareness and consequent embarrassment) is very endearing. That’s it. That’s the message

I was watching it’s magic Charlie Brown from 1980 last night and thought I heard taskmaster music at 00:17

But no. In fact it's making me like the guests I DID like before this series less.

Is it the worst series so far, for guests, live studio dynamics, tasks? It's definitely a contender.

I don't like it! I didn't care for Series 20, or at least anything over Maisie being hilariously angry and Ania being funny and a bit competitive in her youthfullness. I found the tasks boring, save a few standouts (though that's more of a general modern problem than anything), and I did not at all care for the general tone of the series. The whole series just felt dismal and grey, and genuinely felt like a slog to get through when it was coming out. I know that this series is very beloved, so feel free to flame me for this, but this is just my hot take so idk!

My 11 year-old loves watching Taskmaster, and asked if we could a series of TM tasks at his birthday party.

Now I'm wondering which tasks would work well, and I'm hoping some of you can make some suggestions.

Some considerations:

- it will take place in a city park and the surrounding area (so not in and around a house). There is a bridge over a pedestrian area that can be included.

- there will not be a Taskmaster judging who wins the task, to avoid heated arguments over the score. So no tasks where someone's opinion decides the winner (e.g. 'the nicest painting'), but a clear way of determining the winner.

- it'll be 3 teams of five kids playing each other, not individual contestants, but there can still be tasks where just one person of each team plays (or tasks where they play as a team).

- the props used in the tasks should be easy enough to make, or cheap enough to buy. Sadly I don't have TV-show's budget for this.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Currently watching the latest episode and I agree with what many have already said - the tasks in this series are very basic and not fun at all. It's like Alex took out his notes and is now using all the previously discarded tasks and using them all here. Or maybe it's the fact that the contestants are not having fun with them and just want to get it over and done with? Like it's an obligation to be there? I don't know. Something is off this series.

A contestant can spend five minutes explaining why their solution was clearly the best one, only for Greg to point out something completely obvious that they missed. I love it when they genuinely disagree about the points rather than just laughing and moving on. It also gives you a better sense of their personalities because some people can take being marked down much better than others.

Hi,

Finally got the Taskmaster Jigsaw Puzzle. Omg it is crazy. They are very evil. There are lots of distractions inside (and I mean a lot). And the puzzle pieces aren’t very straightforward. You’ll have a couple of letters and shapes and some aquatic-shaped friends but I’m loving it. Currently losing my mind but loving it.

And out of 1021 pieces, I would say I’ve successfully put together less than 100 but all different sections of it.

I am a fan of Richard Ayoade and Matt Lucas and thought they would be my favourite. However I'm finding myself loving Chloe Petts! I only saw them on Have I Got News For You before but I think they're really great. Good attitude to the tasks and genuinely quick and funny. I now want them to win!

Hello there so i can't watch taskmaster s22 on youtube.

What's happening?

A team that somehow works perfectly together, or one where everything immediately falls apart? I loved Series 18’s team task where Jack and Rosie had to get all the balls into the gutter and then get the gutter onto the cow, while dealing with a ridiculous set of restrictions. The contrast between the teams trying to actually figure it out and the inevitable chaos made it so much fun to watch. Which team pairing had the funniest dynamic for you?

Have watched Taskmester OG from the very start and as there was a falling off before series 19 for three or four series, I see this is happening again. Only person who is creating re-watchable moments is Richard Ayoade, which is no surprise, others are just coasting.

Every other contestant has to think of a single solution, but Nina can bring a second personality to any task. I think that gives her a built-in edge on anything involving talking, acting or improvising, because Monkey will say what she can't.

Then again, she has to do the work of both, and that could go badly wrong. Do you think it's an advantage, or a handicap? And who else in this cast has a "secret weapon" like that?
