Junior Taskmaster

Watched the first episode of Junior Taskmaster, and quite enjoyed it!

Rose Matafeo and Mike Wozniak are both very likeable hosts, and the children are confident without being annoying, with a few laugh out loud moments.

I enjoyed it much more than the current (and previous) series of 'grown-up' Taskmaster. Certainly the tasks on the Junior version are more fun - the feel is a bit more like the early days of the programme before the tasks got bogged down in unnecessary caveats and stuff.

The kids were a lot funnier than I was expecting! And Rose and Mike don't talk down to them at all. Really enjoyed it.

Rose and Mike give off CBBC presenter energy which is perfect for this, both are silly enough to get the kids laughing but sharp enough to put some gags in for the parents.
