I absolutely love watching Taskmaster. I think it’s a brilliant insight into people, psychology and how different minds and brains work when faced with a problem.
One of my favourites - 5 comedians had the task of entertaining a member of the public for I think for 10 minutes however they wanted. They panicked. They did interpretive dance. They tried to rap. One ran to the shop and bought beer and ice cream. These are professional entertainers and not one of them did a bit of stand up. I find this utterly fascinating - the most obvious solution is right in front of them and it occurred to none of them to take it.
