“I like to always have a Jeremy on shows — it makes things comforting,” says Henwood.
“Both have different qualities but always turn heads. Jeremy Corbett is a classic MG BGT in British Racing Green and Jeremy Wells is a Porsche 930, turbocharged for action at the top and tail of each day.”
As for the other new comedians, Henwood says they are all friends of his and people he really respects on a comedic and personal level, and they all have a different take on the tasks.
“I tend to just go with the first and craziest thing that pops into my head. I think Ray will be a wild card. Karen will take the smart and sensible approach and who knows what Bubbah will get up to?”
His greatest praise is for Bracewell, who he says really brought the competition.
“I have a feeling she left it all out at Taskmaster Ranch.”
Bracewell took it very seriously and says she genuinely brought her competitive edge.
“I am such a fan of the show, so I couldn’t sleep before every day we spent filming. The sleep deprivation you might be able to catch when you watch the show,” she says.
In saying that, Bracewell adds that her brain runs at a mile a minute so she is sure there will be some tasks that she thinks she has nailed until she watches it back.
“I can be very very stupid.”
