Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th June 2019Taskmaster: Series 8, Episode 4 review
Tonight's episode was a reminder that some of the best moments in Taskmaster come from the most unexpected places.

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 2019Taskmaster Series 8, Episode 1 review
It's looking like it'll be one of the best [series] yet to warms the cockles of my heart, and I've no doubts at all that it'll make everyone who watches it laugh an enormous amount over the next couple of months.
