Taskmaster: series 5, episode 6 review
This time Greg Davies needs to have a chat with Nish Kumar, Alex Horne is born, and Aisling Bea sends a golden pineapple to Kildare.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 18th October 2017Taskmaster - series 5, episode 5 review
Passing the half-way point of the fifth series, we sample a balloon bruschetta, a lot of cheeky texts, and a geographical inaccuracy.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 11th October 2017Mortimer and Whitehouse to go fishing
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse will travel Britain in a new factual entertainment show. They will fish and discussing life, death and comedy, having both suffered serious heart conditions in recent years.
British Comedy Guide, 5th October 2017Taskmaster: series 5, episode 4 - review
This week the panel perform a task you'll either love or hate, we see Bob Mortimer snort white pepper, and realise that Alex Horne is sometimes unnoticeable.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 4th October 2017Review: Taskmaster: Series 5, Episode 3 - Phoenix
The challengers this time struggle opening a suitcase, retrieve Greg Davies's favourite ping pong ball, and try to carry out three tasks at once.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 27th September 2017Taskmaster: series 5, episode 2 review
Tonight's episode features dystopian rainbow scenes, a blood-covered loaf of bread in the wrong room, and a woman drenched in urine.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th September 2017The series that sees comedians undertaking wildly silly tasks on a competitive basis returns. This time around, the contestants are Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips, and highlights include Phillips revealing a hitherto unexpected link between shoving cake in your armpits and cuddling. Greg Davies hosts, expansively, with show creator Alex Horne acting as his hangdog foil. Verging on Radio 4 clever-clever at moments, but funny.
Jonathan Wright, The Guardian, 13th September 2017Taskmaster: series 5, episode 1 - Dignity Intact review
The fifth series of Dave's hit comedy sees elegant boating, pear poking, and cake being placed under armpits.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 13th September 2017Eat Your Heart Out With Nick Helm preview
It's engaging, without being compelling, but surely able to stand the multiple repeats a Dave programme needs. For if there's one thing TV has shown us, viewers can't get enough of cookery shows.

Comedians once embraced a signature quip or look, so why have such tropes fallen out of favour?
