I Know All The Terms. Wheel.

We had such a good time with Taskmaster NZ that it pushed our household into a full rewatch of the original Taskmaster!

One of the most interesting things about Taskmaster is the way each series has a consistent set of contestants. It feels like you really get to know them over the course of the series - the way they think, the way they approach problems, whether they're going to pull Alex's trousers down at every opportunity - and, of course, they get to know each other.

Below the cut, I've tried to pin down the panel dynamics and my favourite contestants for each UK Taskmaster series, because I cannot shut up. I'm sure it must be possible to watch something without writing an essay about it, but apparently that's just not the person I am.

I'd forgotten how psyched Greg is at the start of series six. He's so excited to be here, and so flirty and giddy with Alex! I'm not at all surprised that this is the series where they end up kissing; Greg is radiating 'I don't know how far we're planning to take this dynamic, but I can't fucking wait to find out.'
