I'm a huge fan of Taskmaster — despite it on paper being everything I don't like — and the UK Series 7 is peak fun with stellar cast, great chemistry and the best individual moment across all series around the globe.

@hamatti I love James Acaster's blend of being pure chaos, and so angry and resentful of Rhod when he finds a better loophole, or is just lazy and does better. Season 7 is probably my favourite too but I have enjoyed all of them.

@jasper Acaster is so expressive in how he reacts to things, I can't but love it!

@hamatti have you seen any of his standup? If you liked him in Taskmaster, it's worth watching his Repertoire show, and Cold Lasagne. Before watching Cold Lasagne, watch his appearance on The Great British Bake-off though - it's very relevant context.

@jasper Yeah, I've seen some. His cold lasagne hate myself 1999 was a fun one.

But I think he shines best on comedy / game shows where he gets to react to stuff: Would I Lie to You, Taskmaster, Blockbusters, Pointless and so on.

The Great British Bake Off was fantastic as well.

@hamatti just noticed your thing at the bottom of your post could do with an update for 2026:
