Taskmaster’s return sees fans branding one contestant ‘one of the all-time best’

Last night saw the commencement of a fresh season for Taskmaster, and viewers are praising this year’s cast as particularly formidable, hinting at a strong lineup.

As a gamer, I’ve just found myself in an exciting lineup with five fresh faces, joining Greg Davies and Alex Horne in their renowned studio for the very first time! These newcomers include Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey, and Stevie Martin. Let’s see what they’ve got up their sleeves!

After catching last night’s premiere for season 19, I hopped onto social media and saw a wave of praise for the incredible cast – one user even labeled Ghosts’ Mathew Baynton as one of the greatest competitors ever!

Another fan enthusiastically expressed their admiration, saying, “I instantly love this cast, and Matthew Baynton is my favorite by far!” Meanwhile, a third fan couldn’t help but share their enjoyment, exclaiming, “This show has an incredible cast that kept me giggling non-stop!

One spectator praised the episode as one of the “most hilarious and top-notch episodes of the series so far,” while another commented: “It already seems like this is the strongest ensemble cast for several seasons.

A viewer exclaimed on Instagram, “[Fatiha] was absolutely hilarious in this episode!” I’m eagerly looking forward to admiring this fantastic comedian for the following nine weeks! Absolutely love her!

Before the debut of the first episode on Channel 4, Baynton hinted that there might be something he does on the show that he could find difficult to forget or live down.

He mentioned in his interview with Metro that there is a good chance he will feel remorseful about what he did for the remainder of his life.

What made that situation peculiar was that there were no instructions given – it was all up to me. In hindsight, I realize I brought about my own unfortunate circumstances by not making wiser choices.

It feels as if you’re entering a unique mental realm, where only the task at hand dominates your thoughts. Time seems to fly, and you find yourself making rapid decisions with an intense focus. You dive in headfirst without hesitation.

It isn’t until you’re riding in the car heading home that you suddenly realize, “Ah, that event is being televised, it’ll be etched in history forever.

Taskmaster’s new season, the 21st, is broadcast every Thursday at 9 PM on Channel 4. You can also stream it online through the Channel 4 website or app.
