I've watched approximately half the Taskmaster in existence, and it has been the best televisual experience I've ever had.
I'm familiar with the part of London where Taskmaster is filmed, which makes for some disconcerting moments. I've walked past that old bandstand so many times, and now it'll always be the place where Frank Skinner and Tim Key tried to make a bed while holding hands and then climbed into it together.
I sometimes find myself thinking about how I'd perform Taskmaster tasks myself, but I suspect I would be terrible at almost all of them.
Below the cut are some notes I've made here and there while watching. I started out on series twelve, dragged my housemates into it and then jumped back to watch from the beginning; we're now halfway through series six.
( Notes on assorted series of Taskmaster. )
It turns out I really don't know what to do with myself when I'm not in the fandom for something I love. Taskmaster's perfect on its own; I don't need or want to write fanfiction. But then... what am I supposed to do when I'm not watching episodes? I've got all this passion for Taskmaster and nothing to spend that energy on!
How do normal people who aren't in fandom enjoy things? I don't understand how they survive.
