Taskmaster: 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.

Preview: Taskmaster series 3

It feels as if the second series of Taskmaster has only just finished but the third series starts on Dave on Tuesday, October 4 at 10pm.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd October 2016

The 15th series of the panel show perennial continues. With the hardcore crew reduced to just Dara O Briain and team captain Hugh Dennis, the combative atmosphere of previous seasons has receded even further. If the flurry of punchlines used to feel like comedic mixed martial arts, now there is more of a swingball vibe. Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Ed Gamble, Zoe Lyons and Rhys James are the guests putting topical events through the wringer in search of zingers.

C4 Comedy Gala, review

Rattling through a conveyor belt of more than twenty comedians, this marathon event had one-liners flying so thick and fast it started to become exhausting, says Bruce Dessau.
