Would still love to have seem Steve v Reece Shearsmith. Perhaps they should have a LOG special them and Mark Gatiss competing against each other.

I was crying with laughter at Sophie trying to hoopla, I've not seen Alma's not Normal and didn't know who she was. When I saw the line up announced with a photo, I thought she was Rachael Stirling (actress from The Detectorists, Diana Rigg's daughter).
Looking forward to the rest of the series!

I’m halfway through the first episode and wanted to know where I recognised Sophie from. I asked my husband if he knew her and he asked me to clarify which of the contestants I meant so I said “the older woman”. I then googled her and found out she’s 36! I would have had mid to late 40s easily. And out of curiosity I also looked up Joanne and she’s 40 which feels right.

That’s who she reminded me of! It’s been bugging me. I’m in the same boat having not watched Alma. Really liking her so far. It’s the ones that take it really seriously that I struggle with! Robbins is Ed Gamble Mark 2. Needs all sorts to make it work though so he fills that role perfectly

Just watched it and enjoyed. Really looking forward to the rest of the season. Sophie in the team task and with Gary was brilliant!
36?! In the words of Chris Ramsey - No Way!

She's my age! Asked my mum how old she thought she was and she said 49!!

I definitely thought Sophie was older. She gave me Jenny eclair type vibes. Pretty surprised she’s in her 30s

I'm quite enjoying this lineup so far, apart from maybe Steve Pemberton. But I'll give him a couple episodes. Turns out I do actually recognise Sophie and Nick from things so it's only Joanne I don't actually know at all.
And I've always strangely kinda fancied John Robbins.
So I'm liking that he's on this series.

I thought it was a Pointless laptop style prop that Alex always just used to pretend to do stuff with in the studio.
Never realised he was putting scores in there etc as well.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. He definitely earns his money as the assistant (I'm presuming he actually gets paid the most out of everyone including Greg on the show).

I would hope he does since he created it!

Oh yeah. He must surely get money (I'm not begrudging him any of this btw) from all the merch, the foreign series, the books, etc etc. It's amazing he finds the time to do the Horne Section stuff still which I absolute love, excited for the second series of the TV show.

Is it just me that has the impression that Joanne doesn’t like Sophie? In the studio there’s a couple of times she looks at her or reacts to Sophie’s tasks that just makes me think maybe she doesn’t like her or something has gone on.

Enjoyed that.
Not a fan of team tasks for the final task as it often doesn’t really do much to the final scores but hey-ho.

I don't know Joanne from anything other than Taskmaster, I'm finding it a little hard to warm to her. All the press interviews about Taskmaster have people like Greg and Alex saying she's SO FUNNY, am I missing something?

Same. I find her overuse of Botox/filler really off-putting too.

I really recommend Alma’s Not Normal it’s a good watch. I think there’s a second series coming.
