Taskmaster

Panel-show regulars who like watching clever people fail at silly jobs will settle in at once. Each task arrives on a page sealed with red wax and read aloud, and every episode starts with a prize task where the comedians bring an object fitting a theme. Greg Davies rules with lordly severity and obvious delight at every shortcoming, and a literal reading of the instructions is often rewarded.

Each series stands alone with a new cast, so start with one you like; the first two are lower-budget, and it settles around series four.
