Yeah 😂 Bless, when she said that she does need to carry on with therapy, Poor John, can't wait for Taskmaster. Lucy is going to be great fun. All of them are going to be fun. What a fun show after all these years from Dave to Channel 5.
Like when you have a jokey conversation with an elderly relative and need to keep an eye on not going _too_ far in to just giving funny answers. Alex: 'Have I gone too far with this?' 😅
Except Katherine was humourless and was also not very clever in the tasks. Lucy is so funny and completely intentionally comedic even though she plays this sort of flighty character.
Her talking about realizing she needs to go back to therapy because of Taskmaster has the same energy as Frankie Boyle tossing a bin over a gate he easily could've opened and deciding he should go back to therapy too 😭😭 Excited for the new series!!!
It’s funny how the third person thing completely broke her ability to speak even when she didn’t need to say anything with her pronouns in it. She was just fully overthinking lol
The brain doesnt really do multitasking outside of subconscious actions. So doing two higher thinking tasks at the same time, one with a twist can be quite challenging for those who are not quick switchers.
My favorite contestants are always the ones who seem like they only occasionally understand what other people are saying, but they're really happy to be included in the discussion.
I do appreciate that this channel keeps giving us updates. I know that it may take a while to watch the episodes outside of the U.K., but knowing it will go up here is great.
They just announced that the S16 episodes will be going up on this channel just 24 hours after the original broadcast, in many territories outside the UK.
I love these interviews, they're such a perfect teaser for how the new contestants are going to behave, Lucy's adorably awkward energy is going to be so much fun, I cannot wait for the new series!
Lucy is going to argue with Greg at every opportunity she gets and I can’t wait ❤ Also I love that to Lucy, “answer everything in the third person” means “Deliver a haiku for every answer.”
Lucy was already who I’m most excited for this series, and then she goes and describes her task performance as quite feral. She’s gonna iconic, I can’t wait 😂
The first minute and especially 0:48 tells me absolutely everything I needed to know about her as a contestant. Already loved Lucy from other shows but I’m so excited to see her shine and get to know her without Jon. Can’t wait!
Honestly the nz version is OK, but not as good as the UK version... Especially the taskmaster themselves. Greg is soooo much funniest than Jeremy wells...
Oh yeah, she's gonna be a hoot and a half. She's awkward, like Ivo Graham was in the entire last season. Which is why Ivo was my favorite because being awkward leads to some hilarious moments.
@@tribalpeacock no she really isn't. She's been an actor, a stand up comic, she's also written TV and her own TV show with her husband is also scripted even though they don't admit it. She knows what she's doing.
@@urmumsbaps I don't dispute that she's a success in the comedy world. I'm extremely familiar with her and Jon's work and especially enjoy their "Meet the Richardsons" series. Her mum is a hoot! All I'm saying is that through watching her for years, I've come to the conclusion that Lucy's generally knowledge is non existent. It does work for her content though.
I love that at first Lucy was surprisingly good at maintaining the third person (compared to certain other contestants at least), and by the time she started forgetting to do it Alex didn't seem to bother to correct her.
Drawing and speaking use very different parts of the brain. Lucy is not as scatty as she sounds here where she is trying to concentrate on two very different things. 🇬🇧👍
Either Lucy's husband Jon is way more patient (among other great qualities) than his onscreen persona, or the "real" Lucy is slightly less chaotic. Probably a little of both I assume. She has been a lot of fun on TM for sure.
Lucy's dynamite (as in she's small, volatile and probably has a short fuse) . Can't wait to see her approach to tasks. Jon's a lucky man, the bastard. 😂
@@ironwhy I should've clarified that Julian Clary was the Jo Brand, which Greg already warned us about tbh Meanwhile, Lucy's bewilderment is not unlike David
It looks like we found our bewildered contestant for this series 😂 I can't wait
i.e the one we're all rooting for😂
She makes Katherine Parkinson look like a machine!
Wait...who...who is that? Like, on the show?
Yeah 😂 Bless, when she said that she does need to carry on with therapy, Poor John, can't wait for Taskmaster. Lucy is going to be great fun. All of them are going to be fun. What a fun show after all these years from Dave to Channel 5.
@@tonygriffin3464 Looks like she's on the next cast. She's Jon Richardson's wife
I suspect there's going to be lots of fun moments between Alex and Lucy this series. It's always great when he can't quite keep his face straight
I can see Alex taking her under his wing a little bit, like when he helped her indecision over which canvas to use.
Yes, like Katherine Parkinson.
Like when you have a jokey conversation with an elderly relative and need to keep an eye on not going _too_ far in to just giving funny answers.
Alex: 'Have I gone too far with this?'
😅
@@jsmith498 Katherine was such a wonderful disaster, Lucy really does give off the same vibe
Except Katherine was humourless and was also not very clever in the tasks. Lucy is so funny and completely intentionally comedic even though she plays this sort of flighty character.
I've never been more excited by hearing the word "feral" before! She's going to be a riot!
Her talking about realizing she needs to go back to therapy because of Taskmaster has the same energy as Frankie Boyle tossing a bin over a gate he easily could've opened and deciding he should go back to therapy too 😭😭 Excited for the new series!!!
IIRC the gate actually had a latch that was all the way up. Another contestant needed to get a stick to open it.
Lucy, the best at referring to herself in the 3rd person, even if she was the only one who wasn't sure what that was. Love her 🥰
I love how Alex finds Lucy so charming that I get to see him fail to hold in the giggles. Thanks, Lucy!

@@Cryten0 I wasn’t saying this as if I would do any better, but it is just funny
church yard and could watch these 2 all day long
Sshhhhhhhgood
Any person who describes themselves as "feral" is a perfect fit for this show
Jon and Lucy prove that everyone has someone in this life.
I don't.
seeing this after the divorce announcement..
aged like milk
My favorite contestants are always the ones who seem like they only occasionally understand what other people are saying, but they're really happy to be included in the discussion.
I'm sure Jon's gonna really enjoy watching this
Thanks I will
@@rays5163 you're welcome
Her look of bewildered delight when Alex asked for muscle-y fingers spoke to me on a spiritual level.
I'm sure Jon Richardson was yelling "Debajo de la Mesa" at Lucy for weeks before filming started.
She's pretty good at art, for someone who said she wasn't good at art.
Her portrait was way better than I thought it was going to be! I pictured a childish scrawl.
I was waiting for the painting reveal, and I was impressed.
Did you guys actually see the picture lmfao
I'm not good at art either but let's be real here, that is NOT impressive in the slightest
@@invictus7736Listen, I was honestly expecting a stick figure with fat fingers
He's got Two noses!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing Lucy in Taskmaster, and this just proves why she will be so funny (if a little eccentric).

I think Daniel Radcliffe would take the role of Alex and the the thing is, he'd absolutely fucking nail it.
Oh no now I really really want to see Daniel Radcliffe on Taskmaster. I think he'd be a wonderful weirdo.
I love the idea of Daniel replacing Alex in the studio for one episode and no one acknowledging something's different
I think you mean David Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe is a fantasy TM contestant. Others include: Suzie Eddie Izzard, Craig Ferguson, Daniel Sloss, and Conan O’Brien.
@@whatevs00Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard could be on that fantasy list as well.
Love her instantly after watching her try and figure out how to paint a portrait on an empty frame
Big Bridget Christie energy there!
To be fair it's the kind of thing I can imagine Alex asking for
That therapy section she described was just wonderful and incredibly self-aware… and bloody funny at the same time 😂
The first minute and especially 0:48 tells me absolutely everything I needed to know about her as a contestant. Already loved Lucy from other shows but I’m so excited to see her shine and get to know her without Jon. Can’t wait!
i keep smiling to myself every time i remember the show's coming back soon. especially because NZ season 4 just ended. so excited, i can't wait!
Is TMNZ being broadcast outside of Kiwiland yet?
@@Tao_TologyFirst 3 seasons on All 4
@@stevenlowdon7786
Oh my god.
TO ALL4, WITH HASTE!
@@Tao_Tology Gosh TMNZ is a weird acronym.... Teenage Mutant Ninja Zombies is all I see.
Honestly the nz version is OK, but not as good as the UK version... Especially the taskmaster themselves. Greg is soooo much funniest than Jeremy wells...
Never seen anyone make Alex break so many times 😂
She is absolutely charming and hilarious at the same time - love her!
I'm looking forward to Lucy Beaumont doing tasks
These are FANTASTIC - I wish they had done these for every series - such a great way to learn about the upcoming talent.
She drew Biblically-accurate Alex.
Sucks to be born with two noses though.
Needs more eyes for that.
3:39 is the greatest reaction to a question ever
Lucy and Alex have a very fun rapport in this. Hope it extends to the show!
Alex's laugh when she says Centre Parcs hahaha
Lucy already performing as wonderfully as I'd hoped and promising more too with that 'feral' answer. Another great line-up for 16.
The only thing Lucy needs therapy for is self confidence? Amazing to compare this one next to Julien Clary's interview
It's an act, LoLT
Oh yeah, she's gonna be a hoot and a half.
She's awkward, like Ivo Graham was in the entire last season. Which is why Ivo was my favorite because being awkward leads to some hilarious moments.
she would be so fun in the show and I see a lot of 1 point scores in her future
Idk I have a feeling she's going to be in the running for Champion
@@Cory_Springer really, I think she will be closer to Katherine Parkinson in style
@@mondriaashe's got arms for legs, so that's one step in the direction of Katherine "I wish my hands were my feet" Parkinson.
that little peek through the gate window at the end...so cute
Love her. Could listen to her talk for ages.
lucy is just always adorable
oh, I'm so happy another series is happening, literally an early Christmas present
When Lucy used ‘he’ and neither of them corrected it or were confused ❤ this show is so beautiful
I bloody LOVE Lucy B. She’s hilarious and I’m sure she’s going to make this series xx
Lucy totally will be the "accidentally chaotic" one, and I can't wait to see her in the show! :D
The thought of Daniel Radcliffe doing Taskmaster is so funny, I feel like he'd be unhinged but with Joe Thomas energy
I can't wait to see Lucy be feral during the tasks!
Was not expecting an excellent drawing. She's great!
Bless her heart! She's absolutely gorgeous! The world would be a better place with more Lucys in it! :)
The more I see her on various shows, the more I'm convinced that this isn't a persona or an 'act'.
It's not. She really is that thick!
Not thick, just weird @@tribalpeacock

Loving finding out which TM archetype contestants are going to fall in to through these interviews. Good luck Lucy! I’m excited for season 16.
lucy beaumont is like a modern day gracie allen and I can't wait for her in this series

There must be a series in that somehow.

I'm so excited for new season!!! Lucy is going to be brilliant!
I'm so looking forward to this series or should that be, she is really looking forward to this series.
2:32 Lucy's response killed me
I've struggled to warm to her previously but the toddler energy displayed here is very endearing!
My goodness this has only confirmed how excited I am to have Lucy on the show!
Lucy is adorable and I am looking forward to her feral moments!
Self deprecating humour aside, Lucy did rather well. I don’t think she is as bewildered as she makes out.
@@Deb.-.You're really all over the comments trying to convince everyone an act.
Guess what - it's not!

She’s so friggin’ adorable. And funny.
oh, alex has been a bit giggly with these interviews, hasn't he? looking forward to the season!!
Lucy is absolutely adorable in so many ways.
She needs to be on a team with Sian Gibson!!!
Getting someone to refer to themselves in the 3rd person will often get them to be more open.honest about themselves
One of the few things that makes me proud to be British. That and cheese rolling.
7:53 "let me in"
She's adorable, oh god this is going to be a good pairing
Omg, her delivery has me in stitches.
I'm thrilled to see Lucy after thoroughly enjoying her husband's season! ❤
Why is she so adorable.
George Formby. Classic response. Gold star!
Her way of talking somehow reminds me of Björk interviews
"Quite feral...." - sounds like this season is going to be great 😅
2:57 is impeccable
Lucy is so likeable! OMG
Oh I love her already, I've only seen one episode and now this and I'm smitten, she is a classic!!!!!
4:41 Properly snorted here. 😆😂 I can't wait for this season to air! 😁👏™❗
Lucy's dynamite (as in she's small, volatile and probably has a short fuse) . Can't wait to see her approach to tasks. Jon's a lucky man, the bastard. 😂
If Alan Bennett wrote a task it would be like this. Bizarrely mesmerising
Well, we have our Jo Brand AND David Baddiel for this series
You have a very weird imagination...
@@ironwhy I should've clarified that Julian Clary was the Jo Brand, which Greg already warned us about tbh
Meanwhile, Lucy's bewilderment is not unlike David
@@deependmashups8715i can see it
I know Alex is tall but she looks absolutely miniscule in that opening shot
I've met Lucy and she IS miniscule - seeing is believing with her! Absolutely lovely lady too.
Lucy Beaumont is my spirit animal
actually a great portrait. captures his silly side quite well
My word, she's charming
Really good portrait !
I'm pretty sure I'm in love with her.
she's utterly adorable
I’ve been hoping for Lucy on TM for awhile, I cannot wait to watch her 😂
She & Jon may be the most perfectly matched & completely different couple of whom I know. Wonderful.
I need to see these pictures!
I love her. Genuinely; I love her.
Not a minute in and I can tell her tasks are going to be a riot
0:08 This is the quintessential Lucy moment...
i love her already
so brilliant!!!! Showing how the mind works on new input and sorting while body is doing something else. TY!
Christ! I've never seen a deadpan charter off like this before. Gona be one hell of a ride with these 2.
Her drawing came out great
Has Alex ever struggled to not laugh this much?
if you havent seen the extended alex horne interviews bridget christie , you are in for a TREAT
Oh this season is going to be incredible
