Taskmaster: UK Series 11
Year: 2021
Channel: Channel 4
Contestants:
Number of Episodes: 10
Notes:
Much like series 10, series 11 was under COVID guidelines. This time, the producers had time to prepare (in series 10, social distance guidelines were created halfway through the team tasks).
Series 11 is better than 10, and sometimes it's as simple as having the right comedians. Both Lee Mack and (especially) Mike Wozniak are hysterical, and fit right in with the mentality of the show. There's a reason Mike Wozniak was chosen as the Taskmaster's Assistant for the Junior Taskmaster show. Sarah Kendall also shines in her tasks. Jamali Maddox alternates- he has a lot of lateral thinking, but there are times he just doesn't seem to care. Charlotte Ritchie is charming, which is not the same thing as being good at the game.
Portrait Decor:
Series 11 went with an Russian theme, and the portrait has Greg Davies looking like Lenin...
Best task of the season:
"Prize task: The thing that makes you look the toughest" Four of the five are excellent, ranging from fuuny and good to hysterically bad. But then Mike Wozniak steps up to the plate...
Worst task of the season:
"Fart." I normally really enjoy the tasks assigned to just one person- but I can't stand scatological humor.
Trivia:
* The location tasks were at White Waltham Airport
