Taskmaster 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 2021Richard Herring confirms interview shows with audience
Richard Herring has confirmed further names for his upcoming RHLSTP interview shows. They will take place at the Clapham Grand in south London and there will be a socially distanced audience.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th May 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.

Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 19th March 2021TV review: Taskmaster, Series 11, Episode 1
