[@a.7811]

I agree 100%! So well said!

[@maxington26]

i think you've spotted a nuance there which is indeed shared by both (otherwise VERY different) personalities.

[@Lumibear.]

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.

[@MrMorinu]

Somehow I think he would have been the perfect cast for professor Lupin in Harry Potter when I see him.

[@anam00090]

I would love a HP version with Mike playing ALL professors simultaneously :D Flitwick-Wozniak would be incredible, he'd be a convincing Trelawney, naughty version of Dumbledore :D imagine him as Snape - says something demeaning and apologizes instantly "it's not your fault"

[@emilymonkey]

Omg this is amazing! When I read PoA (before the film came out), I imagined a sort of handsome charming man and Mike would be perfect!

[@YeeHawfinch]

Maybe it's just me and my own personal bias as he's become a new favourite, but I feel like Alex has had a markedly warmer soft spot for Mike out of any contestant I've seen thus far. He also seems to make Alex break character more often than others.

This man just exudes sexiness without even trying.

[@LincolnWorld]

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.

[@TheKosstImogen]

I didn't really know who Mike was before this series, but he consistently makes me laugh the most. Something about an awkwardly polite, moustache-wielding gent in a suit is apparently bones funny to me, and I'm very grateful to him for teaching me that.
