Enjoyed the final episode tonight.

One thing though: I'm surprised they didn't pick up on the fact that during the 'count the chairs' task Andy said a number ("I couldn't eat a whole one").

Thought it was a great series with a great cast. Not having one really strong contestant definitely helped, as much as I love John Robins

After a slow start I thought this series got better as it went on. By the end, it was in credit.

I also found some of Rosie’s stuff funny, which I usually don’t. Maybe because I often think her jokes are a bit obvious and lame, but here she was really inventive and quite silly, which I liked. 

I think the Taskmaster environment does something to comedians that I’m not a fan of. It was the same for me with Chris Ramsey - can’t stand him usually, but didn’t mind him on this.

Yeah agree it was a slow burner, and it was the studio stuff that made me crack up, particularly Emma Sidi when she was dishing it out. I'm a Rosie Jones fan and thought the chaos she brought was great, they always get a good mix.

I've also seen the children's one, which I watched with my 10 year old, and that was good as well. Kids weren't annoying like I feared.

The kids version does make me happy that if Alex ever missed a series for any reason there's a readymade replacement in the excellent Mike Wozniak.

There is a problem with the kids one, that girl last night was so cute it that upset so much when she lost, I nearly wrote to Channel 4 to complain.

Just watched the final programme of the series...enjoyed it thoroughly. Good balance of comedians. Emma was the stand out for me particularly when taking on the Rosie disabled stuff early on (rather brave but it cleared the air wonderfully). Rosie was good too. She played the "my hero" stuff with Jack well and some of her gifts were a hoot. She also provided a laugh out loud moment with Alex 'baby Jesus' Horne.

Random Charlton content in tonight's Taskmaster - apparently Herman Hreirdarrson gave David James a stuffed puffin.

I'm going to need a whole series with Professor Hannah Fry. She's absolutely made for the show.

Martin Lewis. What a bellend.

No new cast announcement on the end either which is very unusual.

Apparently he would gift one to each of his teammates whenever they got relegated. 

That’s why Puffins are now on the extinction watch list.

It's leaked if you Google it. They're withholding it due to some agreement with TV networks in the US. 

Thought tonight's episode was largely rubbish.

Officially revealed. Looking forward to this one.

Jason Manzoukas is going to be brilliant. Think the only slight doubt I have is Rosie Ramsay because I only know her from her podcast with Chris.

I THINK this is the first time we'll have had both halves of a married couple on the show, so that might influence how she goes about things....

Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont were still married when she appeared. Although you couldn't get 2 more contrasting people really, she still baffles me.
