Rolling UK Comedy Thread - "Ricky Don't Lose Larry David's Number

i thought it was time for a dedicated taskmaster thread: a thread for Taskmaster

I’m in!

catching up with Colin from Accounts and it's pretty good, albeit without much Colin. episode 5, the Brisket episode, especially good.

they were on Front Row tallking about it and it gave it a bit more context. all those jokes about being married, all the age difference jokes, the odd phrase here and there (Dame Edna, sleak brown dog...) all from life.

and Ludwig starts tonight, him from everything and her from everything, comedy detective show. i will give it a go but it's on bbc1

Love Colin, tho heart sank as everything went tits-up in the final ep (hoping there's a s3 to make it all good again). the episode in the resto with her mate's awful gf was excellent. it's a sharp and warm romcom but - and this is key - it also has a line or a joke or a setpiece every episode - and indeed, often several - than genuinely has me LOLing.

Still not clear if the couple also partook of the drug party in that one episode and I think they purposefully kept it vague

Watched ten minutes of this and couldn't be bothered with continuing, not enjoyable or interesting on any level.

As someone who likes wry, silly, murder mysteries based around puzzles, and Mark Corrigan trying to wing it in fish-out-of-water situations, and Anna MM being a bit sarcastic, this in theory is right up my street. Unfortunately the "case of the week" aren't fun puzzles you can work out (yet) and you don't see any of the 'main' puzzle. So it's more for people who like the idea of puzzles but not actually doing them. I'll watch them all though I guess.

Really like Colin From Accounts. Altho - did I miss something with Meggles and who she was with then wasn't? And the Rumi character at the dinner was amazing!

Feel like Ayoade is absolutely going to win this.

just finished ludwig, thought it was good enough to be annoyed at having to wait for series 2. ymmv.

chance would be a fine thing

oh, i can't stand him...

my mother about chris mccausland.

and not only do they not watch taskmaster, they didn't even know what it was.
