Hmm, episodes 2 & 3 (of series 16) weren't as good as the opener, IMO. Hope it picks up again.

Yes agree - sadly it seems to have tailed off somewhat
I haven't noticed any dip.
I liked Sam offering to help clean up after the task. I've often wondered if any of them do that. Bob Mortimer made a hell of a mess on a task once. (Not that I hold it against him seeing as he's a bloody national treasure.)

Ha, I remember that, the task was to make as much mess as possible and then clean it up, but Bob rather conveniently 'ran out of time' for the cleaning up bit!
(Impressed I managed to spell "conveniently" correctly without getting a red zigzag line).
Back to this series, I thought the tasks haven't been quite as good in the past couple of episodes, and there's maybe not much chemistry between the contestants as a group compared to some previous ones? Agreed that Sam is coming across quite well so far though, it wouldn't surprise me if this exposure helps lead to him getting more attention/his own series in the future.

Yes! It was the most obnoxious thing ever, but he still managed to be adorable doing it.

Yes, he's the only one I'd never heard of, but he's growing on me. I love what he did to the thesaurus.
Sam is great, I remember him being funny on Cats does Countdown
Loving him so far, and he even offered to help tidy up bless him
Well, I criticised it earlier, but it did finish on a high, and seeing Lucy Beaumont in a different light, as I think she is a hoot - what she did with a ring doughnut though.............................. 🤢
