Have a listen to the Horne Section Podcast episode with Kearns on. They seem to have a good relationship.

An episode too many. That's the problem with Munya as good as he is it might lead to more you tube twats getting on who are not good and won't be
Shes not really like her schtick in real life, she’s very funny.
Agree. Think it'd be unfair.
Definitely. The stand up community generally know eachother well from the circuit and i think a lot have come through the Edinburgh fest scene. I know John has won there a few times and it's where Horne first trialled the show.
I think my loudest laugh this season was that moment it blew away.
Mine's "the power of a thousand ancestors"..."pfft". Teared up laughing at that moment.
And if you couldnt love Fern anymore, she goes and does the whistle challenge.
Sad to see this crew go after next week! Great bunch

It was good to see her finally win an episode yesterday. It's been a good series, even if Dara has run away with it a bit.
Having enjoyed Fern in this, we watched British as Folk on the Dave website, which was good. It also made a hit more sense of one of the funniest things we watched during lockdown:

Before Sarah completely failed in the live task she was only 3 points behind Dara, now up to 8. She could easily have won it from there
Yeah, it had been getting very close between them. I think that live task has sealed it for Dara.
Thought the script task was really good. Munya's one

If the Glazers offer the club up for £7bn but in pennies do you think it will attract more buyers?
All the the information is written on the card.
They had a series where the 5 first winners competed, i would love it if they made one with the 5 worst.
Would be the best season by a ridicolus margin!

The script task was fantastic.
Anyone got the board game? My partner just got it to play on xmas day.
I also just got it to play on Christmas Day
I just had a look at the rules (not the tasks), dont forget to set a prize task to your guests and if you scan the QR code at the front theres a riddle for a bonus point, and you can print a PDF envelope for your tasks.I also just got it to play on Christmas Day
I got it last year.
Didn't really end up playing it because some of the tasks were a bit too much for chilled game on Xmas evening. Iirc you need a lot of props and things to complete tasks.
Is that the longer version or the shorter one?
John trying to take off that towel... Christ
fecking hell.
And there was this post on Taskmaster Reddit a couple of months ago:
Leaked lineup going around on twitter. Can't see one of the names doing it but would be interesting if he did.
Frankie Boyle next season!
Not my predicted line up as usual but excited by it. Frankie Boyle is a bit of surprise for it but he is better when he isn't doing stand up for me.
Also as a fan of Ghosts on BBC Taskmaster is certainly doing the business for me

Frankie will be class. I'm like 3 seasons behind and haven't watched in ages. How are the last few seasons are they worth it?
In my opinion they are brilliant. It's been on a real roll recently every season seems better than the one before. The only ones I never really liked were seasons 6, 8, and 10
Heard Ivo Graham on the Football Cliches podcast and liked him. He’s quite weird and has a niche attention to detail in a good way.
I am a fan of Ivo, and I think he'll be a great contestant. Been expecting him to be on sooner or later.
I'm going to miss some of this season's lot, especially Fern. Hadn't heard of her prior to this, but I'll be hoping to see more of her in the future.

I'm actually genuinely shocked that Dara won, for one very simple reason. I listen to the Taskmaster Podcast, and since it began in Series 10 the champion has always been on the final episode. This series Dara was on earlier and Sara hadn't been on yet, so as soon as Dara appeared I knew that he wasn't going to win after all.
Good finale, that. The grape task was in the NZ version, though the challenges were different.
During lockdown 1 he presented a YouTube quiz series, where he'd get a bunch of comedians for a virtual pub quiz. That was the first time I saw him and he came across quite well in that. Quite sharp and witty. I'm expecting him to be quite thoughtful with the tasks. Not necessarily good, mind - that's always harder to predict.
Really great programme this, watched the finale last night.
Next seasons contestants look interesting - when does it start anyone know?

I don't think it's confirmed yet, but it looks like under C4 they've moved to two seasons a year - one around March/April, one in September, so it might be a bit of a wait for Season 15.
They do have the New Year special coming though, which is where they rope in non-comedians that might not be a good fit for a 10-episode season. This year they've got Carol Vorderman and Mo Farah.
Yeah, I enjoyed Ivo's YouTube quiz during lockdown. I've seen him on a good few panel shows - in particular on two separate weeks of House of Games (and he's on for a third time in an upcoming week just before Christmas for those who want to watch him). And also on British as Folk - along with Fern Brady. And I quite like his dry, self-mocking style.
I watch a lot of the panel shows so I'm usually familiar with most of the contestants as most of them regularly pop up on one or another (and, again, 4 out of 5 of the newly announced series). It'll be interesting to see how Frankie Boyle works on a warmer show like Taskmaster. He's witty, but his humour is often quite acerbic / political. But most seem to adjust their style to suit the tone of Taskmaster and he'll probably rein it in a bit as well and he should be an entertaining watch.

Loved the last series. Up there as one of the best.
I'd seen all 5 before on panel shows - but Dara and Sarah a lot more than the others. I'd mostly seen John in 'character', so it was great to see how entertaining he was as himself.

That'll probably go down as one of my favourite series of the show. They all had their moments in the sun and lots of funny moments. Glad John didn't go in character - think that would have put a dampener on things.
I've started re-watching Ivo's YouTube quiz again since the news he'll be on the next series of Taskmaster.
My favourite so far is probably the 5th, as it includes Tim Key behaving pretty much like he does on No More Jockeys...
Caught up on the last couple. Only one I skipped was the Tim Vine one, first episode I knew just wasn't going to be much fun. This last series very good.
