British Comedy Guide, 17th December 2020The Problem With Men, by Richard Herring review

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th November 2020Book review: The Problem With Men, by Richard Herring
Extending into such topics as why many men confidently believe they could score a point against Serena Williams on a tennis court (they couldn't), why female leaders have a better record on dealing with COVID-19 than male ones do and whether a man can ever be considered a feminist, this is thought-provoking, intelligent and lots of fun.

Chortle, 27th October 2020Review: Taskmaster
Taskmaster dumps Dave for C4.... and - hooray - is as silly as ever!
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 16th October 2020Taskmaster wins 1.7million viewers for Channel 4
That figure is roughly in line with what the show scored on Dave when catch-up viewing was also counted - which means the show is sure to grow its audience with the change in broadcaster, once on-demand requests are also counted. Channel 4 has also hailed the fact that the show won its 9pm slot among the key 16-34 year-old demographic.

First episode, as thoroughly entertaining as ever.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 15th October 2020Taskmaster series 10 review
Channel 4's task in poaching Dave's best programme was simple: don't screw it up. And by barely changing a single thing for Taskmaster's tenth series, they passed with flying colours.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 15th October 2020Taskmaster review - a delightfully daft diversion
Sure, test and trace might be more medically useful, but would it be as much fun? Take your pleasures where you can.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 15th October 2020Taskmaster, series 10, review
So much fun, you could almost forget the pandemic.
