It’s official: Taskmaster’s New Year Treat is back for a third year running in 2023, and the five celebrities taking part have just been announced. Introducing this year’s (post-)Christmas Taskmaster cast: Amelia Demoldenberg, Carol Vorderman, Greg James, Sir Mo Farah and Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem).
Amelia Demoldenberg
If you’ve recently been asking yourself ‘Am I well old?’ then your familiarity with comedian and YouTuber Amelia Demoldenberg should give you an answer. She’s best known for her Chicken Shop Date YouTube series, where she interviews bright young things like grime artists, Premier League footballers… and Louis Theroux.
Carol Vorderman
The Countdown queen! And no stranger to performing tasks under pressure, as her appearances on I’m a Celebrity and The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off (which she won in 2020) proved.
Greg James
Yes, we all know he’s Radio 1’s breakfast show presenter,...

Given the state of British politics, I’m not sure that using a reality TV format to choose our next prime minister is such a terrible idea. Of course, Make Me Prime Minister (Channel 4) isn’t actually designed to do this – that’s the task of a tiny handful of unrepresentative Tory activists in Liz Truss’s case – but rather to entertain and to educate us a little.
I have to say, having been badly jaundiced by over-exposure to politics and politicians over some decades, I am pleasantly surprised at how well the show works. Somehow it actually manages to make the political process look like God’s work. A minor miracle.
Basically, it’s a bit of a rip-off of The Apprentice, with two teams of members of the public taking it in turns to be their “team leader”, ie Pm, and to take on assignments and make fools of themselves.

President Donald Trump’s state visit to Britain has put the Queen in a “very difficult position,” the former head of the U.K. Foreign Office claims.
Lord Peter Ricketts says the visit, announced by British Prime Minister Theresa May while meeting President Trump in Washington on Friday, should be downgraded from a state visit to spare Her Majesty any controversy.
As a UK petition to stop President Trump’s planned visit to Britain reached more than 1.5 million signatures and thousands protested across Britain on Monday, Lord Ricketts, in a letter to the The Times of London, said the invitation...
