    A show that works well with Covid restrictions in that it shouldn't be diminished by them.

    Very. Already some proper idiotic attempts at some of the tasks and Daisy May Cooper in hysterics is funny on its own.

    You can watch it on C4+1 at 10.  There have been some spectacularly inept attempts at a couple of the tasks so far. No-one's covered themselves in glory in the one with the eggs so far

    I watched the first 20 mins and it bored me rigid.
    Each to their own, but I thought it was very poor.

    All 4 (their on demand service) now has all previous 9 series available too.

    This could be one of the worst series for tasks actually getting completed but already some absolutely hilarious attempts (Mawan especially)
  • Thought it started slowly but the egg task was good.

    And Mawaan Rizwan's cow.

    Trying to fill an egg with helium was brilliant

    Only heard about this yesterday. Started watching a few episodes from different series. Bit hot and cold for me.
    Thought the series with Joe Wilkinson, Jon Richardson was hilarious. The one with Rhod Gilbert not so much.

    It's all down to the panel I suppose. Watched last night's and again I'm not sure.

    Just found out Bob Mortimer was in series 5 so will definitely give that a watch

    A family friendly (bleeped) version will be shown on E4 @ 6pm on Sundays each week after the new episode airs.
    Although the first is at 5.45 this week.

    Oh it definitely hinges on the contestants as to how good a series ends up being. A couple of them definitely fall flat.

    the first prize task of a series can feel quite flat as no dynamic has been established between the contestants, it's the first time they've met up as a group. it always gets better. I think this one felt even flatter as there's no audience response

    The Rhod Gilbert series was my favourite!

    Thought they did well without an audience.

    When I saw it being recorded I thought the fact that the participants were watching the tasks for the first time made them part of the audience in some way. They were like the naughty ones in the front row at school.

    It's difficult to recreate the silliness of it all with no one watching. The live tasks may fall a bit flat.
  • Thought the first episode wasn't the best but it's been a good series since.

    I'm not sure any of them understand the weekly prize task but there are still brilliant moments in every episode.
  • Yeah the prize tasks have been terrible.

    Think Richard Herring streams on Twitch during each episode giving his thoughts on each task and giving his own marks etc

    He's been the one letdown for me, he's sort of pretty decent at the tasks, but not so think outside the box impressive to be really funny either way.
