Would I Lie To You? At Christmas, review
Would I Lie To You? is a blissfully funny format, but it does highlight the dearth of real chat shows on TV.

Rose Matafeo and Jim Broadbent made this a real cracker.

British Comedy Guide, 18th June 2021Taskmaster review
Should you be looking for a show that treats its stars with utter disrespect, Taskmaster (C4) is just the ticket.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 21st May 2021Lee Mack reveals cocaine-induced cleaning obsession
Comic Lee Mack has revealed that the first time he experimented with drugs - taking cocaine at his best friend's stag do - he became obsessed with cleaning a kitchen, even putting on an apron and Marigolds.
Andy Halls, The Sun, 15th April 2021A new series of Taskmaster began, which has every promise to match the highs of the last. Chief among the promiseers in series 11 is Sarah Kendall, the driest of Aussies, yet we also have grumpy Jamali Maddix, Lee Mack and the like, and the mix works (again) wonderfully well, crushing together those who will solve an impossible problem in methodical fashion and those who will throw proven natural laws to all 13 winds. Trapping a giant motorised rat in a net from three metres away, conveying 24 unbroken dinner plates on a hoverboard through a hangar, inviting a helium balloon to behave - never mind Taskmaster, this should be the primary task for all diplomats and wannabe 007s. As ever, creator Alex Horne and Taskmaster Greg Davies fashion great humour from abject failure. I think Greg's resolutely kind demolition of Charlotte Ritchie - "you didn't think your left hand was for anything?" - represents a touchstone in anthropology.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 21st March 2021TV review: Taskmaster, Series 11, Episode 1
This opening episode was one of the strongest out of all of them, and I'd be amazed if by the end this wasn't seen as one of the best, right up their with series 5 and 7.
