"King of PowerPoint comedy" isn't a viciously contested mantle, but Gorman deserves praise for having mastered his craft. His fourth series of lectures begins with a look at "extractor fans", people so keen to project expertise, they suck the joy out of the thing they like. He has a pleasing streak of curmudgeon, and is as skilled with a comic callback as he is with his slides: his climactic anecdote about an online quiz is sublime.

Is modern life good? Sort of. Is it good to see Modern Life is Goodish back on the box? Definitely.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 8th November 2016Online abuse? It's water off a comedian's back

Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 8th November 2016Taskmaster: series 3, episode 5 review
It is hard to judge how good this series compared to its two predecessors. Series 2 and 3 are both better than the first in my few, but I think I preferred the second series primarily because although he was not great at scoring points, Joe Wilkinson has so far been the funniest contestant across the three series.

Dave's Taskmaster is ace at everything but balanced representation. Sort that, and it could be one of the most enjoyable shows on TV...

This week we witness one of most disgusting ways to win a challenge ever, a return of a classic task, and some balloon-on-bread action.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 18th October 2016Taskmaster: series 3, episode 2 - review
This week Greg Davies's game show featured condiment art, nudity and some furious use of a pair of corkscrews.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 11th October 2016Taskmaster: series 3, episode 1 - review
It is a nice start, but we need to wait a bit to see how it compares to the previous two series.
