Except that Greg has said on the show that he is quietly fascinated by this character he’s playing who says things like ‘crikey’, never swears and apologises constantly, when in real life he knows him as a very different person indeed, to which Mike looked embarrassed and said, ‘I’m trying to be a good boy on TV’ or something similar.

I think Mike may be the best and most simultaneously strange and excessively "normal" guest on any season, and any version, from any country that Taskmaster has ever had. He should be staring in gritty crime comedies. I can't tell if he is the perfect person to turn to if you need someone to help you with something, or a serial killer, or both. Fascinating and hilarious. I sometimes wonder if you are drugging him with something before each task. I predict him getting tons of work after this.

Glad they have the contestants look right down the lens. I've been confused about Mike Wozniak's eye color for weeks, but now I finally know.
