Richard Osman

With the Beeb's Bake Off all but over, Sue Perkins now has plenty of time to chair the new series of this wacky quiz show. Teams - led by professional know-it-all Richard Osman and panel game veteran Josh Widdicombe - are grilled on past and present celebrity trivia. Except, confusingly, all the celebs in question have the same name. Silly, semi-interesting and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny stuff.

Not so long ago, the idea of president Donald J Trump seemed the stuff of which surreal, grotesque, fantastical comedic riffs might be fashioned (indeed, Boyle did exactly that, on several, clearly fate-tempting occasions). In this recently recorded show, he and accomplices Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan, Michelle Wolf and Richard Osman face a daunting challenge now that it's about to be a reality.

Review: Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy

Don't, of course, watch American Autopsy for definitive answers. This was recorded shortly after the vote and I suspect the panel was as shellshocked as the rest of us by the result. But everyone is good value and I suppose I should mention that it's excellent to have so many women on one show. But one final thought. I can't help thinking that when Frankie Boyle sounds like the voice of reason the world really has turned upside down.

Taskmaster: a funny, most unexpected comedy

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

5 questionable moments from Taskmaster series 2

Oh boy, Taskmaster's second series was a ride to say the least, and an enjoyable one at that! Looking back, here's our five most questionable moments from the show.

Do the Right Thing, the jolly panel-show podcast, is back. Now on its sixth series (crikey), and hosted by Danielle Ward, it is not only a right thing but a good one too. More manic and edgy than the traditional radio panel-show offering, but not so much that it makes you think the dread word "wacky", the programme's guests last week were Richard Osman and Shappi Khorsandi. Khorsandi was her usual, likably haphazard self, and I am very much enjoying Osman's recent transformation from televisual factoid guy into one of the funniest men in media. He really does make me laugh. Regulars Michael Legge (grumpy, funny) and Margaret Cabourn-Smith (cheerful, funny) are excellent, and Ward (acerbic, funny) is too. Her opening line, about putting an Egyptian mummy into an old people's home, immediately informed listeners that they weren't in 6.30pm-Radio-4-land any more. Plus, because of the joy of podcasts, each episode can carry on for as long as it wants to. Lovely.

In the last in the series of Taskmaster, Greg Davies's taskees have all to play for, with an overall series winner set to be crowned out of contestants Doc Brown, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan, Joe Wilkinson and Richard Osman. Among this week's tasks are transporting a range of groceries over a small river and into a shopping trolley, and making a stop-motion film starring a potato. To the victor, the spoils, which includes a golden bust of Davies's head.
