Ian Wolf, On The Box, 27th September 2017Taskmaster: series 5, episode 2 review
Tonight's episode features dystopian rainbow scenes, a blood-covered loaf of bread in the wrong room, and a woman drenched in urine.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 20th September 2017The series that sees comedians undertaking wildly silly tasks on a competitive basis returns. This time around, the contestants are Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips, and highlights include Phillips revealing a hitherto unexpected link between shoving cake in your armpits and cuddling. Greg Davies hosts, expansively, with show creator Alex Horne acting as his hangdog foil. Verging on Radio 4 clever-clever at moments, but funny.
