Last night's show contained one of the most satisfying moments in the history of Taskmaster - the moment Munya 's cocky attitude was absolutely destroyed when his cheating in the ball task was exposed.

New Year Special Line Up: Amelia Demoldenberg, Carol Vorderman, Greg James, Sir Mo Farah and Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem).

Don't like him at all - the bell-end bighead.

Well I know two of them. Never heard of that Dermatology woman

What do we think about the series 15 lineup?

Frankie Boyle
Jenny Eclair
Ivo Graham
Mae Martin
Kiell Smith-Bynoe

I love all of them! (Except Ivo, but only because I haven't seen him in much yet.)
It's going to be weird seeing Frankie do silly tasks. I can't quite imagine it.

Only know Frankie and Jenny, which sound an interesting pair

Finally got round to watching the final, and most enjoyable, the funniest for me being Sarah who is a hoot, and Dara, when I can understand him. Nice to get a final ogle at those gorgeous pins of Fern, as she obliged with an even shorter skirt. I'm in love - funny and sexy - my kinda gal.

I liked the final too. John, Fern and Dara were all particularly good value, as they have been throughout. My favourite bit was the slightly odd moment when Fern asked "did I meet these potatoes before?"

Wish it wasn't on so often.

Watched this last night - a very good episode! Quite often, non-comedians can be more fun than professional comedians on shows like this, IMO. Mo Farah in particular was very entertaining.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved some of the games and people's solutions.

Taskmaster has been renewed for six more series, which I assume means three more years, if they are sticking to the two per year schedule. There will also be a pre watershed spin off, Taskmaster Junior.

Series 15 coming up this week, then... I enjoyed the recent BCG interviews about it (it doesn't seem to say who asked the questions?) I'm not particularly a fan of Frankie Boyle, but he's such a wildcard that he's the one I'm most intrigued by.

Frankie seems really sweet and quiet when he's not doing stand up, so I think he'll surprise some people.

I think he'll make it

Well, it was all RIGHT, I suppose... 😐
Some good moments, mainly in the first half, but I found my attention waning towards the end. Hopefully it'll get better.
Come to think of it, I can barely remember anything from the past few series of Taskmaster, whereas I've often rewatched episodes from the first 9 series or so...
