He was given a secret task which was to sabotage a team task and I was belly laughing through the whole thing. His little "Oh no" when some of the sand spilled was fantastic. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The full, uncut prize task from Champion of Champions is well worth a watch. Quote

Have you seen the clip of the Off Menu live stream where Ivo says the name of the hotel he is staying in on the stream and then gets people calling the hotel to berate him for liking banana in Yeo Valley yoghurt as his dessert?

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 12 Paid Members Posted January 12 I've nearly finished S11, but I think I'm going to skip ahead to the Sam Campbell series and come back to S12 after. Every single clip I've seen of his has been amazing. Quote

Watch the contestant interviews on YouTube before you start to watch Sam Campbell's series as well. You will very quickly see what kind of season it is going to be. Quote
Ro_y Disco Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The Sam Campbell series is the only one I gave up on and never finished. A Godawful line up. Much as I like Sue Perkins as a host on things she has never been funny and Lucy Beaumont is unbearable. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 12 Author Paid Members Posted January 12 The Sam Campbell series was superb but I wonder if they might have split Campbell and Lucy Beaumont up and put them on separate series as they're both similar in how amazingly odd they are. Quote

Much as I like Sue Perkins as a host on things she has never been funny and Lucy Beaumont is unbearable. That’s my favourite series! The trio of Lucy Beaumont, Sam Campbell and Julian Clary is the all-time best team task line-up for me. Comedy is subjective - but I think Lucy Beaumont is fantastic, as is Sam Campbell. But their brand of humour is definitely niche. I sit well within that niche, though. Quote
Paid Members Nexus Posted January 12 Paid Members Posted January 12 I'm in the middle of that series, and I love Sam Campbell. Julian Clary absolutely makes me howl with his disdainful comments towards Alex as well. Quote

Sam Campbell is my number one contestant and the disdain on his face towards Alex during the driving instructor task will always tickle me. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted January 12 Posted January 12 If you enjoy Sam Campbell on Taskmaster and his style of humour, I thoroughly recommend his stand up special 'Companion' on YouTube. The whole thing is filmed through the scope of a sniper rifle because of course it is. Quote

Watching this when it happened live was a real moment, the slow realisation of what he had done. I also saw him host Clash of the Comics which was very fun if a bit chaotic. Anyways Taskmaster is great, got my wife and I through a really sad time in our life, we watched the first 10 seasons in 10 weeks. My 4 year old daughter loves the task where they weight Alex's head, hands and feet, and when Desiree Burch made the short horror film with the boots. And both her and my 2 year old daughter love the watermelon task. We had some of my wife's nieces and nephews round and I put on the bleeped one just to have something on and they got really into it. We also all visited the museum when it was part of the live experience and went round and took plenty of photos. A lot of sentimental value with Taskmaster for us, and while we've not been able to watch much of the latest series, I am looking forward to catching up. Quote
TheHighlightReel Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Finished the latest New Years Treat last night, pretty bland set of contestants but Rose Ayling-Ellis is delightful. Quote

Sam Ryder was a lot angrier than I thought he would be. He had always come across as a happy go lucky positive guy whenever I saw him on anything, but he sure told a lot of stuff to fuck off. Quote
