Tim is a brilliant stand-up comedian, known for his one-liners - once held the world record for most jokes told in an hour. Daft jokes but genuinely very clever, too. Liza is a national treasure, brilliant writer and actress, whose father was a famous comedian. Great series this one.
Two minutes in and I got an other reason for subscribing. Farmers Union Iced Coffee is one of the best things ever. It is one of the reasons why I`m thinking of moving back to Australia. This, Zoladkowa Gorzka and Bundaberg Overproof are the best liquids ever. If I could drink nothing but these, and water obviously, I would die happy.
This series tends to be underrated because it's between Series 5 and 7, but it's pretty great in its own right. Liza is pretty low on my overall contestant list but some people love her. I knew Tim from the UK sketch show and hes so great!
Asim you would know most recently from GOTG3 as the voice of Teefs and also he was very briefly in the Barbie movie Also yes, Tim has some great moments throughout the season that I'm sure you're gonna really enjoy lol
I love Liza, she has such a unique, weird, Cooky personality. She is so chill and enjoys everything and takes it in stride. You never know what she is going to do or say. Her little lovely stroll sealed it for me. I never seen her before this show I still don’t know what she is from.
Liza is one of those oddballs that has done a bit of everything for a very long time, and not necessarily stood out for much of them - but for a comedian/actor/presenter that's kind of impressive because it means she's been pretty natural and reliable. She's also the daughter of an old English comic called Jimmy Tarbuck, who was on TV presenting things for decades. Her radio shows are probably the best thing to look out for, she's as relaxed and shambolic and surprising there as she is hereazin
Glad you're back on the UK Taskmaster. I'm not a big fan of the other countries' versions. Greg and Alex are a big part of what makes the show work. It's impossible for me to pick a favorite season though. I don't think it'd be this one if I had to rank them, but this is still a pretty good cast. I like them all, but Liza is deceptively unhinged in an amazing way.
I love Tim Vine. Saw him live just last month. So many jokes. And very clean too. No swearing or controversy at all. Just joke after joke after joke. They all have good moments in this series, though overall it isn't one of the best. But it's still better than most other things, Taskmaster just has so many highs.
Not everyone loves this but I suspect it's burnout and an embarrassment of riches because it's got some all time greats going on. Asim, Alice and Russell all have their lovers and haters, but there's no denying the charms of Tim Vine or the powerhouse that is Liza Tarbuck. Isn't it weird how the women are so consistently the standouts?
Women like Liza may be "consistently the standouts" in that they tend to take fewer risks and to get a safe three or four points, often edging out the funnier contestants. She was the first one to really have that dynamic though, as I do like Aisling and Sally. Not saying Liza doesn't have her moments, but I wouldn't call her the "standout" here.
ok I’m an American and I wish we had ads as good as those farmers union ads. The working class bent of it but also just the really actually clever humor.
Alice is just beautiful....makes my Top 5 Taskmaster ladies, which I actually just thought about so let me see......Aisling Bea, Alice Lavine, Rose Matafeo, Morgana Robertson, and Bridget Christie........ man I know I left so many out...yeah I can't leave Mel off that list, but who to remove...Love me some Sian Gibson too and Jessica Knappett. No, forget it.. I forgot Fern Brady...she would probably have to replace Alice in the top 5. Fern is maybe my top. Ok, top 10 Taskmaster ladies...means I can add one...maybe Judy Love....:)
The "intended" knife also wasn't in the bowl. The tower must consist of stuff in the bowl, didn't say you couldn't use other stuff to help you build that tower. If anything, the tower with the knife in it should be disqualified, as the knife wasn't in the bowl.
did not like this season that much, mainly because russel howard REALLY rubbed me the wrong way, other than that it was good but i found him just soooo anyoing :P
Ah Liza Tarbuck... the first of many "boshers" 😒I love her cuz she answers the question "what would it be like to have a boring uninterested school cafeteria lunch lady on Taskmaster?"
this is definitely the worst season by far, some of them just looked like they didn’t want to be there at all. Especially Russell and Liza. But there is still some funny parts throughout the series, especially Tim

Lisa was like a little toddler in a fun, energetic way. She's been around for so long too.
Since when was Liza considered a national treasure? Hahaha🤦♂️ she definitely isn’t. She’s fine, but she’s certainly not a national treasure
Tim Vine is not only a genius, but probably the hardest working comedian on stage. Also extremely silly.
Alice is part of the team that creates 'My Dad Wrote A Porno' - honestly one of the most hilarious podcasts ever produced.
I LOVE this season. Liza is the one to watch, I think, but I adore everyone in this cast.
Ring your agent
I actually love Alice in this series. Not a stand up comic but so quick and sassy

This is one of my favourite seasons of Taskmaster. They're all great, but Russell and Tim are my personal favourites from this season

I absolutely love Liza Tarbuck. Mad as a box of cats! ♥️♥️♥️
I was at school with Alice. I was the year above and all i remember was she seemed quiet. But good to see a local girl doing good.

I saw Tim Vine live last month and he was absolutely brilliant. Completely insane but brilliant.
Alice is part of the podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno. It’s one of the funniest things you will ever listen to.

One of the best series, a great set of 5 👍😆😍🇬🇧
Liza is such a crack up!! Love her vibe.
I'll try to find some of that ice coffee for sure! I would have brought honey for last place!

Tim Vine works with Lee Mack in the sketch show.
ok I’m an American and I wish we had ads as good as those farmers union ads. The working class bent of it but also just the really actually clever humor.
I like Alice she seems nice and friendly and sweet, I love Russell’s macho energy. This is a good season. I like all the people.
It only goes downhill for Alice after this ep lol
Alice is just beautiful....makes my Top 5 Taskmaster ladies, which I actually just thought about so let me see......Aisling Bea, Alice Lavine, Rose Matafeo, Morgana Robertson, and Bridget Christie........ man I know I left so many out...yeah I can't leave Mel off that list, but who to remove...Love me some Sian Gibson too and Jessica Knappett.

you may only use whats in the bowl.... she clearly used other knives should have been disqualified.
The "intended" knife also wasn't in the bowl. The tower must consist of stuff in the bowl, didn't say you couldn't use other stuff to help you build that tower. If anything, the tower with the knife in it should be disqualified, as the knife wasn't in the bowl.
Tim Vine is dorky and awkward but he is pretty clever and funny.
Liza is amazing
did not like this season that much, mainly because russel howard REALLY rubbed me the wrong way, other than that it was good but i found him just soooo anyoing :P
Ah Liza Tarbuck... the first of many "boshers" 😒I love her cuz she answers the question "what would it be like to have a boring uninterested school cafeteria lunch lady on Taskmaster?"
FYI Taskmaster New Zealand is better than the Australia version.
Personally this is one of the weakest seasons but I still enjoyed it.
Rusev Day!
this is definitely the worst season by far, some of them just looked like they didn’t want to be there at all. Especially Russell and Liza. But there is still some funny parts throughout the series, especially Tim
Must admit this is my least favourite season of the show.
