Few things are really memorable for me:

Richard Osman carrying the exercise mat to the exercise balls. The original loophole task moment.

Joe Wilkinson standing in the red green hole in one

Mel Giedroyc Baby Gap

Ed Gamble baby cry Taskmaster theme

Ed Gamble bleeping a chickpea

Ed Gamble having a meltdown everytime he was paired with David Baddiel

Joe Thomas having a meltdown after putting in loads of effort and then apologising for it.

Lisa Tarbuck hopping.

I agree with pretty much all of these, and I’ll add:

Sally Phillips and the water cooler
Rob Beckett and the accents
David Baddiel and Jo Brand stopping for a cup of tea, a sandwich, and a chat
Jo Brand: horse or laminator?

same! it’s the greatest musical based task they’ve done - that and nish and mark’s song (always watching you do cool stuff) are always in my head 🤣

bob is the ultimate taskmaster contestant: he just has the perfect brain for it.

I’ve been singing ‘I’m always seeing you do cool stuff’ all morning as a direct result of this thread! 😆


Bob was perfect for this show: his ‘sausage delivery vehicle’! 🤣

the most heartbreaking moment in taskmaster history.

my main ones are: james acaster always ignoring alex horne at the start of tasks 🤣, romesh absolutely slamming that watermelon onto the ground, ian stirling being a dick, and the absolute masterpiece that was liza tarbuck getting alex to sit on a cake.

oh and rhod gilbert hiding in greg’s wardrobe overnight. and him providing a photo of greg’s real mum in the bath. rhod actually might be one of my favourites, but he was a terrible team player!

i wasn’t a huge fan of hers overall but katherine ryan buying greg a lordship made me 🤣 “what’s your name?” “……. greg?” “no it’s not! i changed it!” and obviously josh getting greg’s name tattooed on him.
 
Does anyone know how the episodes tend to be filmed?

In S4E1 Mel G used a shoe to squeeze a lime for the final task. She is still wearing said shoe in episode 3! One black shoe, one trainer 😅 they’ve all changed outfits, so you’d think they’d realise? 😂
 
I did love the task where James Acaster and Phil Wang were building the extension and Rhod Gilbert, who was on their team, just wandered off to do his own thing. That in itself was not that funny, but when they played it back in the studio James Acaster's indignant reaction was so good.

Loving this series so far. I like everyone (which practically never happens!), and it’s recovered the energy and humour that the last few series were lacking. The restrictions really ‘flattened’ things, I’m so relieved there’s a return to form.

I even like Judi Love & Chris Ramsey in this series which shocked me more than anything 😂 I’d never heard of Bridget before but really enjoying her too
 
I still don't get the love for Judi Love. She's a grown woman pretending to be thick....

I really like the other contestants though, and I was fully expecting to find Chris Ramsey very annoying.

I don't know much about her past. But in the first episode she said she was a trained social worker, so I assume she also worked as one in the past before becoming famous. It's a worry that social services are staffed by people that thick surely. Surely she is putting it on a bit?

I love Bridget! Loving her style. I think I recognise her voice more than anything, does she do a lot of voice overs on ads etc? Also think she's been on The Stand-up Sketch Show on ITV2 but I might be wrong. I didn't know she is married to Stewart Lee!

I was a bit iffy about Judi Love but am loving how the cameras are capturing her eye roll-y reactions and finding her quite funny. Never seen anything of Sophie before but really liking her so far.

Ardal is a joy as always. Chris Ramsay - ok but not my favourite.

Studio records are one or two a day for a week ish at Pinewood studios. Large break between records. Different audience.
