Ah, an extra little bit of Douglas Adams that (mostly) didn't end up in the finished episode.

Taskmaster S22 is not the best season this far. But it's not the worst one. So it's doing better than Doctor Who did.

Beckenham, where I grew up, is being actively infiltrated by a Christian cult which is overrunning the place. They are called City Gate. They are planning to take over the cinema. These people are evil (I am a real Christian btw) take a look online and shut these fucking fuckers down.

Reminds me of the Blake's 7 script that said something like "The space station was magnificent", and Dear Dear Vere scribbled next it "Best not to say that, dear. Chances are it won't be.".

This image reminds me that when I was a boy, at one point I genuinely thought these were the only three people who stood in front of a microphone and an audience to make them laugh. And that each one came from a different country. As though only one person from each country could do this.

Stephanie Cole was the best one in Tenko. And when you think of who all was in it, that's quite the compliment. She was also very funny in A Bit of a Do. An ensemble show where the cast as a whole were as good as their scripts. Two of the best shows you could choose to be in, and to stand out in.
