Only two episodes in and we are already seeing some early riders and trailers.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 15th May 2019Review: why serious silliness is so ludicrously funny
There shouldn't be anything entertaining about a grumpy quiz enthusiast searching for a lost baby monitor in a caravan. More interesting things happen to every one of us daily. But the spectacle on Taskmaster (Dave channel) of a furious and frustrated Paul Sinha, better known as The Sinnerman from teatime general knowledge gameshow The Chase, was ludicrously funny.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 9th May 2019Season eight of the reliably daft gameshow sees Sian Gibson, Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders and Paul Sinha in the thrall of the man-mountain king as they try to impress Greg Davies. Among the usual pettiness and point-scoring there is an ad hoc ventriloquism round that may scar the nation's psyche.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 8th May 2019Review - Taskmaster: Series 8, Episode 1 - Hello
While it is of course to early to tell who is the most dominant in this series so far, there are some things we can already gather. Chief among these is that the Sinnerman is not as smart as he looks.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 8th May 2019Taskmaster review - a cheap, childish comedy miracle
A gang of comics play silly games, then squabble about them. This is totally pointless comfort TV - but that's precisely why it's become a hit.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 8th May 2019If you've yet to have the pleasure, Taskmaster is simply one of the most joyful series around. Which other TV show gets you inside the boot of Bob Mortimer's car or turns Noel Fielding into a tiny banana? Five comedians, doing very silly things in the presence of creator Alex Horne and the Taskmaster himself, Greg Davies. This year's contestants are Paul Sinha, Joe Thomas, Iain Stirling, Lou Sanders and Sian Gibson. A sheer delight.

Joe Anderton, Digital Spy, 3rd May 2019TV preview: White Gold, BBC2
The year is 1985. Eight months have passed since Vincent Swan (Ed Westwick) - Essex's premier and most amoral double glazing salesman - teamed up with gangster Ronnie (Lee Ross) and forced his boss Walshy (Nigel Lindsay) to sell Cachet Windows to them for a measly pound coin.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 6th March 2019Taskmaster Series 8 contestants revealed
