Of interest, a 65 minute running time.<\/li><li><strong>Taskmaster<\/strong> S14 &#8211; Thursday 29th September, 9pm C4 &#8211; \u00d3 Briain! Brady! Kearns! Chawawa! Millican! Davies! Horne!<\/li><li><strong>Floor is Lava<\/strong> S3 &#8211; Friday 30th September on Netflix &#8211; More like S2.5 (it&#8217;s basically the other episodes they recorded) but if you enjoyed series two (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bothersbar.co.uk\/?p=13031#comment-617092\">and we largely did<\/a>, although thought the Volcano was a bit meh) you&#8217;ll probably enjoy this as well. Don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the same rooms as S2 though.<\/li><li><strong>I Literally Just Told You<\/strong> &#8211; Friday 30th September, 10pm C4 &#8211; The series proper. Of interest, a 65 minute running time.<\/li><li><strong>The Genius Netherlands<\/strong> S1 &#8211; Monday 3rd October NPO3 and I would imagine naughty internet streaming &#8211;  OOHHHHMMMYYYGOOOOOODDDD. Absolutely thrilled that the Dutch are having a go, if anyone&#8217;s likely to make it work it&#8217;s going to be them (although selfishly I want the Flemish to have a go as well). I&#8217;m reluctant to publicly post links to English subs and such on the front page, but Reddit is probably going to be your friend.<\/li><li><strong>Unbreakable<\/strong> S1 &#8211; Thursday 6th October, BBC1 &#8211; Rob Beckett puts six celebrity couples to the test in a new series I suspect they&#8217;re going to wish wasn&#8217;t so easy to jokingly call <em>Unwatchable<\/em>.<\/li><li><strong>The Mole<\/strong> S1 or 6 or 8 depending on how you look at it &#8211; Friday 7th October on Netflix &#8211; American producers roleplay at making <em>The Mole<\/em> in Australia, but you never know it might be OK! I suspect it will try and hit the beats whilst lacking the craft, though.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we missing anything else interesting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find discussion of <strong>Taskmaster<\/strong>, <strong>The Genius<\/strong> and <strong>The Mole<\/strong> in channels on the Bother&#8217;s Bar Discord (link in the sidebar) which I suggest you join as the website is a bit of a loss-leader these days, for better or worse. I&#8217;m about to buy two more year&#8217;s of hosting though, so I can hilariously forget our twentieth birthday in 2024, probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s BACK!
