Eleven years ago, my wife and I had had a baby, so I didn't go to Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in years. Tim Key won the comedy award and I was sat at home with the baby feeling very jealous, genuinely.

I really enjoyed Paul Sinha. He's from 'The Chase.' As you imagine, he's intelligent. But that doesn't mean he's got any common sense at all.

If somebody does a task really badly, then that's better for us than if they do it really well. We always tell people when they get back to the green room after doing a task that they've cocked up, 'You've actually really won that task, because people remember them more than the geniuses.' No one likes the clever people.

I have children so I couldn't shave it off; my dad shaved his beard off once and we all disowned him. My wife's dad shaved his off and they freaked out. I think if you have kids, getting rid of a beard is bad.

I never watched 'The Godfather' and it seems too late now. The same happened with 'The Sopranos,' 'The Wire' and 'Peaky Blinders.' I don't know if they can be compared but they feel to me like they had a lot of male violence that I'm not massively into.

When I created 'Taskmaster,' it was never meant to be suitable for family Christmases. The host, Greg Davies, is a sweary giant, the comedians are often uncouth and the show was on late-night TV.

'Hometasking' was genuinely a team effort. Because we were all in lockdown and didn't have anything to do, the team watched lots of videos and passed them on to me. It was a really nice way to spend a few months and feel like you're actually helping other people.

'Bring Me The Head of The Taskmaster' is a unique chance for one person to prove they are the ultimate Tasker. This interactive book is more than just a spin off, it provides a unique 'Taskmaster' experience into which you can dive and then swim around in search of treasure.

I was inspired by 'Bootylicious' being able to scale the dictionary walls thanks to just one individual, Beyonce. But Beyonce has the world's ears, so what I had to do was to work my word - which is 'honk', as slang for money, really really hard.
