So you said ...Yes but Sophie Willan though
Yeah, it's not as good as it was. It used to be must see TV.Way past it's best now. Used to be a must watch show, but I gave up halfway through season 16.

Seem to be just smart-arses this seriesRunning out of decent comedians.
Season 4 was my favourite. Noel Fielding, Mel Giedroyc, Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett and some other 'comedian' who's name escapes me.The second series was a particular favourite
I'm not sure the comedians are of a lesser quality. Been some top comedians in later series (Frankie Boyle, series 15, Sarah Millican, series 14, Alun Davies, series 12, Lee Mack, series 11, Johnny Vegas, series 10)I can't stand it anymore and I used to absolutely love it.
They have just flogged it to death. It seems like a new season is out every week and comedians of worse quality.
It's obviously cheap as fuck to make so they just churn them out.
Yeah maybe it's not the quality of individual comedians that annoys me but the quality of the collective.I'm not sure the comedians are of a lesser quality.

They are much later on in the process.
I agree, it's not half as good as it used to be, but there are still funny moments to be found, I reckon.
Enough to keep me watching anyway.
Never watched it, but I am a big fan of John Robins.Have to say I am finding the new series a bit disappointing.
Was expecting Nick Mohammed to be funnier and Steve Pemberton, who I really like, has come across as clever and just slightly humourous, rather than laugh out loud funny.
It's okay and I will still watch, but I am finding I am not laughing much at all at the moment and it's interesting to note that I am now the only one in my family still watching it. My missus, her two daughters and my daughter, all used to watch it religiously, but have now all given up.
I think it's about the format getting tired, as much as the quality of the contestants. It's lost that freshness.
But I will stick with it, for the odd magic moment, should it appear.
He's actually doing pretty well actually. Made me smile a few times for sure.Never watched it, but I am a big fan of John Robins.
How's he doing?
I think you are probably right. I wasn't really a fan of Reeves & Mortimer together, but on his own Bob Mortimer is clever and funny as fuck! The tasks which they gave to Mark Watson alone were absolutely hilarious. Sally Phillips was just plain bonkers but in a funny way (unlike Sophie Willan) and i could happily drink Aisling Bea's bathwater all day long! Nish Kumar grew on me too.The best series for me was Bob Mortimer, Aisling Bea, Sally Phillips, Mark Watson and Nish Kumar. I don't tend to like the last two as well but they were great as an inept duo.
I think John could winHe's actually doing pretty well actually. Made me smile a few times for sure.
I think he could - i suspect he has been an avid follower of the format for some time and knows how far he can bend the rules of the tasks. I quite like him on Taskmaster, but his partnership with Elis James on 5Live is not my thing at all, and they come across as talentless, entitled muppetsI think John could win
I was the same. Couldn't take to Reeves and Mortimer, but Bob by himself, I find absolutely hilarious.I think you are probably right.

I hope you took some cream for that.I think you are probably right. I wasn't really a fan of Reeves & Mortimer together, but on his own Bob Mortimer is clever and funny as fuck!

Can you write to Avalon Productions to suggest this?I think the talent is there still but not the name recognition, they loaded the early series with names as I guess they had no idea they'd even have another series never mind race towards 20. Some of the people I'd not known before have shone so mixing those in with the established names early on could have been great, now it feels like the list of big names still to appear is getting very small. Agree about frequency, one a year plus a special is more than enough.
I've loved the last couple of series and have no problem with the frequency.I think the talent is there still but not the name recognition, they loaded the early series with names as I guess they had no idea they'd even have another series never mind race towards 20.
