TV You Might Have Missed 16: Taskmaster

Five comedians are set tasks challenging their creativity and wit. The tasks are supervised by Alex Horne but the Taskmaster, Greg Davies, gives points based on his own personal, occasional whimsical criteria. The tasks are nonsensical but inventive such as making a portrait of a celebrity using toilet paper rolls, getting three giant yoga balls to the top of a hill, or catching things in an open top hat on your head. 

The fun depends on the good cheer of the comedians who earnestly strive to win each task. The true hilarity, though, comes from the Taskmaster's quick wit and his comic exchanges with Alex Horne, who is also genuinely funny just in a different way.

This is the only show I can think of which is so genuinely funny. We have watched all 19 seasons, some of them twice. Usually crudity is held to a minimum which is refreshing. (Except for season 5 which we couldn't finish.) This show helped get me through the early, chaotic days of my mother's latest illness and beginning of her hospice at home. It's truly enjoyable.
