A masterclass in acting in 4 photos!!

@Days_Are_Gone Wise decision!

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

I’ve really enjoyed this series of #Taskmaster after a few dodgy series over the last couple of years. Shows the importance of getting the right mix of people

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@Days_Are_Gone Yes id agree with that, I’ve found some of the line ups quite boring over the last few years with 2024 being particularly bad

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@gaylesian It’s poor but not as bad as the new version of Porridge

@putthetellyon Gambo is a very knowledgeable man but he seems to have cut back his radio commitments recently. I also think if they shows are going to survive we have to accept younger people will end up hosting them.

@ThomasCutter It’s a daft time for that sort of show, its also quite different from the show it’s replacing so that audience won’t stay either.

@I_Dont_Know_Her Publicity, I bet Vanessa is loving it

@FinalReplayTV @alzheimerssoc @FinalReplay66 Looking forward to it, don’t spoil the result though!

@chuckthomasuk Maybe people are just bored of this celebrity nonsense

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@ian4downton @BBCRadio2 Derek Jameson had zero radio experience (by his own admission) and ended up successfully hosting breakfast for 5 years.
Joe Bloggs from Radio back of beyond isn’t going to appeal to the average Radio 2 listener

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@ian4downton @BBCRadio2 To be fair they’ve always done this. Look through schedules going back to the 70s and a lot of celebrity hosts were brought in.

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@ian4downton @BBCRadio2 Katie Boyle was a regular Radio 2 stand in and she started as a tv continuity announcer, Gerald Harper had his own show as he was an actor. There are plenty of examples if you look at BBC Genome, it’s not a new thing!

@back_the_BBC How sad 😂

@JohnBensalhia Max Bygraves wasn’t very good as a quiz show host in my opinion. I read somewhere that in 1986 he tried to buy the rights from Central as he assumed they had axed it when in fact they had just decided to replace him as host

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@miss_traceydav @superTV247 He was no John Cooper Clarke

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@MsPocketRocket It wasn’t very good, a few jokes basically every episode. Pat Coombs moaning they didn’t move to Bognor, both moaning about the heat and the food and how slow the Spanish are at doing anything.

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@pennyslater1942 @LikeATattoooooo Yes that would be a good idea as with the exception of Ronnie the Baileys are a bit lost. Maybe an auntie or Ed and Ronnie’s

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@LikeATattoooooo I agree with that they are crying out for a Blanche type character in their mid 70s

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@pauljnotts @archivetvmus71 Yes she was really 69 when this was filmed so the casting was pretty off

[Dan  @CarryOnDaniel]

@archivetvmus71 @1980sRewind Always thought it was funny she looked as old as her Dad
