Maybe some of the Horrible Histories/Ghosts crew (they've had three already so quite a lot of overlap) - but might be hard to line up the schedules as the 3 already featured are the three who don't do the writing/production bits.
Maybe Sandi tokavig as the "older person", she's good at improv. Paul merton would be good as well for the same reason. Alex Horne really wants jack Dee to do it, he'd be great but guessing he's said no

Four so far: Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Charlotte Ritchie, Katy Wix and Lolly Adefope.

Yes, quite right. Clearly I am not Taskmaster material!

Ross Noble would be good (but apparently he's said no), Sindhu Vee too
But to be honest, a load of the people I'd not heard of before have been brilliant, John Kearns, Mike Wozniak, Bridget Christie etc.
Sindu Vee is a good shout. Ria Lina too.
Pretty sure Ria Lina will be on S16 or 17. She accidentally leaked about being in a lab while filming a show when she was on Richard Herring's podcast and people were able to deduct it was from Taskmaster from some tweets
I don't think Mae has been overly competitive to be honest, just pretty bright in thinking of a way around things (drawing pineapples etc). You need people to think outside of the box and try to get round the rules to make it more fun.
Dara was competitive but more entertaining, he had a great dynamic with John and Fern. Mae is very quiet in the studio, they seem very nervous

Yeah I saw that. As S16 is being studio filmed now I'd expect her to be one of the contestants when they announce it in 2 weeks.
I love Richard Ayoades work and he's always been one of Alex's top targets with Jack Dee but I do wonder if his style would work on TM?

And Jessica knappet
and Bridget Christie
Matthew Baynton is a possibility, he has the Ghosts connection and played in Alex Horne's charity match recently
Maisie Adam also played in that match so I think is a good shout, she's one you'd expect to appear at some point
I think they should just put KSB in every series, I love watching his facial expressions. This series is right up there as one of my faves; 5 completely different characters working so well together
I wasn’t excited about Jenny eclair being in it but she was my favourite in the end. The potato hat task is quite possibly top 5 tasks ever.
Sam Campbell is in Bloods the paramedic comedy set around Lewisham. We enjoyed jt mainly because they drive the ambulances whilst chatting along Lee high road etc.
Susan Wakoma I’ve seen her in something I can’t think of the name of it. Similar comedy show to bloods. Am sure she wears a uniform . (Edited: Porters with Daniel mays) Am looking forward to Lucy Beaumont. She’s going to be useless.
Lucy Beaumont will be interesting, given I think most of the daft northener thing is a (succesful) shtick. Will she be the same in this, or be more herself?
Apparently Susan Wokoma was in Enola Holmes, which I've seen, but I don't remember her - to be honest I've forgotten most of it, forgot Helena Bonham Carter was the mum too.

Watched her interview with Alex and still can't figure out if the daft northerner schtick is all an act or if she's genuinely like that. Think she might be quite polarising.
Sam Campbell has ridiculous potential this series, completely absurd/irreverent humour but also seems to be the most practically minded of all of them (the final challenge of the show and the “both of them” was almost utterly genius and made me and my wife go “OHHHHH!”).

New cast is exactly what North Lower Neil posted. Massively excited to see how Sue Perkins does.
Mae will be interesting to see in a very strong COC
