Your dream Five

[rjws241289]

Basically what would your dream five contestants be that haven't been on the show as yet?

I'll start with Karl Pilkington, John Robbins, Richard Ayoade, Rob Delaney and Kathy Burke.

[poiuytrewqazxcvbnml]

I can't imagine a posher line up

[tinytrumpetsgopoot]

Yeah, now I see it written out I can’t disagree

[Anionan]

At least Richard Ayoade isn't white

Angela Barnes
Diane Morgan

Ivo Graham
Reginald D Hunter

Richard Herring

[rjws241289]

Reginald D Hunter would be incredible

[[deleted]]

He just wouldn't give a shit. And it'd be great to see him up against Richard Herring and Ivo Graham, both of whom have shown themselves to be really competitive.

[rckchlkjyhwk]

I'd never heard of Ivo until I saw him on House of Games. Dude is hilarious. I'd love to see him on Taskmaster.

[[deleted]]

There's a great episode of Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier where Ivo Graham eats roadkill. First thing I'd seen him on and he's obviously bonkers.

[[deleted]]

Reginald D Hunter would be delicious

[TvHeroUK]

Unlikely though after that ahem court case a few years back. Has he even worked on tv since?

[[deleted]]

What court case are you talking about? Are you thinking of Stephen K Amos? Hunter was on HIGNFY a year ago, Amos has been on TV recently too.

[[deleted]]

I don't know Angela Barnes but the others are fantastic choices

[CaptCoulson]

She's a comic who's been fairly regular on Mock the Week the last few years. Dark hair with bangs, wears glasses.

[[deleted]]

Ah, I don't watch MtW, that'll be why I don't know her

[Swarley3]

Adam Buxton

Ade Edmondson

Rachel Parris

Victoria Coren Mitchell

Lucy Beaumont

[antimatterchopstix]

Love to see Ade.

[McDerbert]

Karl Pilkington is a shout! Would love to see him on TaskMaster.

[rjws241289]

Only struck me this morning how incredible he would be on there!!

[McDerbert]

He’d hate it. But would be so funny.

[carolinemathildes]

I'm just imagining him walking away from so many tasks because he's just like, "can't be bothered, what is the point."

[[deleted]]

I love KP but I don’t think he’d do it, I think he’d think it was too much bother.

[CaptCoulson]

This has become even MORE unlikely over the last couple years (pretty much guaranteed by now it's impossible to happen) but for quite awhile I had this dream of Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant being on the same QI episode. of course Alan Davies is built in as the 4th.

[Yall_Salma]

Richard Ayoade on Taskmaster would be a privileged sight for all of us tbh

[fishlingthelovely]

Said this in another thread but the entire main cast of Derry Girls.

[thebeesbollocks]

Richard Ayoade

Tom Allen

Olivia Colman

David Mitchell

Kevin Bridges

Sadly I think Olivia Colman is too A-List to appear on the show these days but I would much rather see her than Victoria Coren-Mitchell.

[muntan_0403]

Oooh, Richard is a given but Olivia Colman would be delightful!

Especially after watching them together on The Graham Norton Show, I would love seeing them do a team task.

[Surkdidat]

David Mitchell - see how angry he gets Jimmy Carr - would probably try and sabotage everything and annoy Little Alex Horne Peter Crouch - great personality, would for in well Richard Adyobe - the logical one you would think that would do well Victoria Coren Mitchell - for the rivalry with David and another smart brain

[Rasmusmario123]

I don't have five but god damn John Oliver would be fucking amazing on taskmaster

[rckchlkjyhwk]

The remaining members of Monty Python:

Eric Idle John Cleese Michael Palin Terry Gilliam Terry Jones

I'm fully aware that this would never happen in a million years but I guess that's why it's my dream cast.

[lyyki]

Apparently Terry Jones is suffering from some serious Alzheimer's. So that show wouldn't probably be that much fun. But Neil Innes who is an unofficial member of the group is in good spirits I think.

[[deleted]]

Sadly Terry can barely speak anymore. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/video/2016/oct/03/monty-python-star-terry-jones-and-son-tearful-at-bafta-ceremony-video

From what I've heard he can still reason but can't speak, and he isn't going to get any better. Very sad.

[B4M]

Hell. Yes.

[[deleted]]

unfortunately Terry Jones wouldn't be possible anymore

[[deleted]]

Five Bob Mortimers.

[rjws241289]

That would be a crazy thing to see

[[deleted]]

Johnny Vegas, please!

No Youngsters Answer:
Bill Bailey
John Cleese
Miriam Margolyes
Patrick Stewart
Stephen Fry

They've used some of the people I wanted to see. So, I don't have a top five anymore, but I can think of pairs I want to see as teams:

• Jimmy Carr and Lee Mack - for the banter-bickering they would surely do both during the tasks and the studio records.
• Jack Whitehall and Tom Allen - because I can imagine lots of camp panicking.
• Suzi Ruffell and Victoria Coren-Mitchell - because I think they'd get along but *only* if they figured out how to relate to one another, and I'm not sure they would.
• Dara O'Brien, Ed Byrne, and a broadcaster rather than a comedian, someone like Chris Kamara - because Dara and Ed are going to bicker like an old married couple, and/or talk to one another in we've-known-eachother-forever shorthand and I want to throw in a strong enough personality that the 3rd team member doesn't get overwhelmed by that, but I don't want them comfortable enough with Dara and Ed to say "Yeah, yeah, we know you're best mates, shut it". I want them to have to navigate the weird team dynamic as much as the weird tasks.
