I think Maisie Adams might have been good as a captain.I stopped watching after the second episode of the new series. It was never going to be as good as the original but I reckon they would have got into their stride eventually, however Daisy was intolerable. All that banging the desk and making out she found everything hilarious was bleeping annoying. I know they have diversity quotas to fill, but couldn’t they have found a professional comedian for Daisy’s slot? Literally anyone else would have done, even Sarah Millican or Sarah Pascoe, both of whom I can’t stand but at least know how to behave in front of the camera.
I loved Daisy in This Country, but when I rewatched it, I actually thought Charlie was the funnier of the two; he seems like a decent guy off screen too.
I thought Daisy had a bit of an edge to her on Taskmaster, and the fake laughter on NMTB gets on my last nerve!
