Taskmaster

There is apparently a bleeped/edited version of the adult Taskmaster for kids. Must be impossible to follow as it would be gutted into incoherence

It really isn't. It's fine.

I lasted two minutes into Junior Taskmaster. No. Just no.

I hate kids versions of programmes. I generally hate kids, full stop, really, but there's something about toffee -nosed little darlings showing off for the camera.

I think in my case, it's very much carried by the fact that I'd watch Mike Wozniak in most anything.

He's clearly the best thing in it by miles. If you like Wozniak and have never listened to the Three Bean Podcast, you are in for a treat.

Also, I like the fact that the tasks have to, by necessity, be quite simple. Latter series tasks in the adult version have sometimes suffered from too many rules and over-complication, which never leads to masses of fun.

It’s fine. I love both Rose and Mike and the simplicity of the tasks is good. Yes some of the kids are a bit precocious, but the key demographics in my house who are 9 & 6 think it’s great. The joy of being allowed to fuck about with a can of shaving foam at that age Or just chuck stuff at grown ups

Series 19 has been announced with Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey and Stevie Martin.

I love how it's under an NDA until now, so the Wikipedia editors removed guest details from the Taskmaster page.

And as a totally unrelated point, it's always interesting to look at the edit history of a page on Wikipedia. (that said, I think it was all over Reddit too)

Mantzoukas and El-Ghorri are going to be brilliant. I’m not that familiar with the work of the other three.
