I love this show! it's just a lot of fun 😊 It's tough for me to find full eps so I usually just have to watch short clips on youtube.

Sometimes I want to watch British panel shows but they almost never have enough women and men just aren't funny.

As far as I remember, this one has an equal number of female and male guests.

I might be wrong, but iirc the teams are always one man one woman.

Season 9 of Taskmaster had more women than men. I think that's the only one, though.

I love most of the people involved in this show but the first two seasons just didn't quite click for me. This has convinced me to give it another go though.

This show is one I feel like I could love, if they'd just whittle it down to 30 minutes and forewent the Randomiser + Wall of Celebrities.

My favourite is the episode where Suzi Ruffell and Tom Allen try to pose as a totally legit heterosexual couple in order for Suzi to steal a penguin from the zoo and pass it off as her own child. Also Sophie Duker in that same round trying to smuggle a massive elephant out and, when caught, basically going "Well... you know how sometimes there's things in the vicinity you don't necessarily address..." to get away with it, AKA the perfect joke.
