I just Rosie Jones on something talking about taking a first date to a posh restaurant and then seeing Greg, Alex, and Tim Key at a table, and her being torn about wanting to give her attention to her date but also really wanting to be on Taskmaster. I'm glad at least one worked out.

I'm going to out myself as a horrible person here, but I find Rosie Jones painful to watch, for the obvious reason. I'll accept the downvotes, because I don't like that I feel that way. But it is what it is.

I have no issues with her disability. I'm sure she's a smart, funny, talented woman who just happens to have been dealt a shit hand. And she (and by extension anyone else suffering from her same condition) are strong and amazing people who live productive lives because of that and deserve all of my respect.

But watching her struggle to speak even the simplest sentence is just painfully bad television and I personally just accept the fact that I'm a somewhat terrible person who just can't subject myself to it without cringing.

I think Jack Dee has been the name Alex would routinely say when asked who he'd most like on - I'm looking forward to see how he handles Taskmaster.

I love Rosie and Babatunde too. I also like Jack, but could have sworn he has already been on (back in the Dave days).. Don't know enough about the other two.

Last couple of series I've been finding myself uninterested most episodes, Julian Clary and Susan Wokoma salvaged a few episodes on their series, and the one before that was quite good (love Mae Martin and Frankie Boyle, and Jenny Eclair, Ivo Graham and Kiell Smith-Bynoe were all good too), but the show really has been in a slump, I'm hoping this series will liven it back up a bit..

I just Rosie Jones on something

Do you now.

Andy Zaltzman though! I know his voice so well, wonder what he looks like. (oh, guess I should watch the video.)
