wev Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Nah I still like Lou, she's like a mash-up of Levine, Phillips and Godliman. Was t really fussed by Joe Thomas until his rant in the finale, you could see how much of a release it was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddiel will probably be another Mark Watson, I can't see Brand setting the show alight and I've no idea about the others. Katy Wix has the potential to be brilliant on this. I'm expecting almost Joe Wilkinson levels of stuff. A much better line-up, woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yobo Ahoy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Must admit I had to look her up, I liked Ghosts but her character was a bit ànnoying. As mentioned though, always open to being charmed by unknown quantities on TM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I like Ed Gamble. I think Baddiel is going to end up being the cerebral who is fucking useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papaya Dance Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Excited by the new line up. I actually know who all but one of them are! The reverse has been true for the last couple of series. Not necessarily a bad thing, just made them harder to get excited about. I think this series is definitely in the bottom third of them all so far, but was a lot better than I expected based on the line up and first couple of episodes. I agree Lou went from the only one with a comedy spark to her whole joke being to approach things with the mindset of an unruly toddler, which wore thin. It really lacked a think outside the box contestant along the Tim Key lines. Hopefully the next champion of champions will bring all ten back and have a semi finals/final format, mixing them up a bit. Otherwise it's going to be very shit.

Sidewaysbob Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 An absolute belter of an opener. Horne's magic finger, Katy Wix turning up in a hard hat and high viz vest , trying to find the Dodo, Baddiel stuffing aubergine down his pants and Jo Brand dressed as Henry VIII Baddiel is going to be comedy gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Mike Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I enjoyed episode 1, for sure. I hope they've got a better selection of tasks this series - I'd felt they were sort of scraping the barrel last time. Too many of the tasks were just moving small things a distance with inappropriate tools. Last night's felt more on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wev Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I was hoping that the teams would be split the way they are, Baddiel and Brand together for total "can't be arsed"ness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yobo Ahoy Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Not totally feeling the new series. I don't really find Baddiel and Brand's 'clueless old person' schtick funny and Wix hasn't really done anything of note. Gamble is decent and Matafeo seems like a slightly less annoying version of Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stigweard Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Disagree, I thought their team task was utterly hilarious. Also the picture task was great too. I've always found Brand funny, she probably genuinely doesnt care if she wins or not either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wev Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'm not a fan of Brand normally but her and Baddiel together was great in contrast to the other threes handling of the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yobo Ahoy Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well last night's was awful. Made worse by the return of Godliman. Baddiel really is just the new Mark Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFT Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I did really enjoy last nights episode. I was completely convulsed with laughter ad Baddiel's sheer utter uselessness with the lasso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mike Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 My wife and I are just annoyed with Jo Brand. It's not really her fault - her whole brand (lol) is not giving a fuck - but, given the premise of the show is to care about doing pointless stuff, having a competitor that doesn't care drags it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wev Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm not a fan of Jo Brand for exactly the same reason but it's been quite funny in this, especially when Ed Gamble cares so much about it.
