Road closures are 'shocking', councillor says
The closure of major routes in a city is "shocking and completely daft", a councillor says Roads in Bristol including Bath New Bridge in Temple Meads and the dual carriageway Passage Road in Henbury are closed for repairs. Mark Watson, the local councillor for Henbury and Brentry and the Leader of the Bristol Conservative Group, said: "Someone somewhere has not planned this properly. It's shocking. I'm not disputing the works need doing but if they waited a week, schools would be off. It is completely daft." Helen Godwin, mayor of the West of England, said the repairs will "lay the foundations for a better transport system overall for the West of England". More news stories for Bristol Watch the latest Points West Listen to the latest news for Bristol While Passage Road - in the north of the city - is closed southbound, traffic will need to follow the signposted diversion via Crow Lane, Henbury Road, and Falcondale Road for onwards travel. Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the road. The works are needed to rebuild a section of the road because it was originally constructed with poor quality materials, the city council said. The work on Passage Road is happening while the Henbury transport scheme is being built - which has already seen widespread disruption in the area. Meanwhile, work to repair Bath New Bridge, part of Bath Bridges roundabout on the A4 Bath Road, has started on Monday. Its repair forms part of the council's £16m New Cut bridge's restoration programme that is restoring eight crossings over five years. Only one lane of the bridge can remain open while the repair work takes place, meaning significant delays are to be expected when heading into the city centre on the A4. From Monday, York Road will reopen one-way travelling from Bath Bridges roundabout towards Bedminster Bridges roundabout. Follow BBC Bristol on Facebook, X and Instagram.

I thought Taskmaster's best days were behind it – I was completely wrong
Over the past few seasons, the magic woven into the fabric of the Channel 4 series Taskmaster has faded, but season 19 might just have changed the game. There's no denying that Taskmaster is one of the most ingenious, rib-tickling reality TV shows around. You can't go far wrong with the premise of forcing five comedians to execute a series of increasingly ridiculous tasks – and then dissect it all in front of a live audience. I was first convinced to watch the show (described by some as jury duty for comedians) after becoming hooked on the viral TikTok clips from seasons gone by and haven't looked back since. Hosted by Greg Davies and his sidekick, little Alex Horne, it has featured some truly phenomenal line-ups like season seven's James Acaster, Jessica Knappett, Kerry Godliman, Phil Wang and Rhod Gilbert or season five's Aisling Bea, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar, and Sally Phillips. As well as moments that will go down in Taskmaster history like the time Mel Giedroyc took a toy camel to a kids' Gap (the challenge was to fit the toy through the smallest gap) or when Jessica Knappett fell off the stage. And who can forget Mark Watson and Nish Kumar forming a band called the Diverse Stripes and performing a song to a stranger called I'm Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff) that deserved to become a top 40 hit. (You just had to be there.) All this to say that Taskmaster is one of those rare shows that will actually have me bent over in laughing rather than just… lazily puffing air out of my nose and calling it a day. Over the past few seasons, however, I had started to grow concerned that the show may have lost its usual charm. There were less and less memorable moments and the tasks just didn't seem to provoke the same hilarity they once did. Despite watching season 18 just months ago (it came out in October), I genuinely wouldn't be able to tell you a single task that has stayed with me. It was fine, but the hijinks seemed to just merge into one. Although the comedians brought in were great, the show lacked that 'je ne sais quoi' that usually has me ready to watch more… and some more after that. I don't know whether the tasks felt too formulaic or if it was that the groups lacked that vital chemistry, but I struggled to get into the show like I usually did, rooting for one comedian or another. So when the show returned for season 19, I wasn't tripping over myself to watch it. Eventually, after seeing a few funny moments online and growing praise for the new cohort – Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey, Stevie Martin, Jason Mantzoukas, and Fatiha El-Ghorri – I decided to give it a try, and boy, had I been wrong. This season has been nothing short of delightful, reaching all the highs of earlier seasons in its own unique way. The dynamic between our fab five jumps off the screen, packed with witty dialogue and season-long inside jokes like Fatiha's one-woman quest to marry Greg. There's Jason's motto that doubles as US foreign policy 'destroy, dismantle and engulf in flames'; Stevie's self-deprecating humour; Fatiha's deadpan quips; Rosie's constant bafflement at literally every single task she is presented with; and, of course, Mathew's commitment to the tasks (lest we forget yoghurtgate in which the Ghosts star licked yoghurt off Alex's shoes naked while calling him daddy). After 10 years and 19 seasons, I thought the show had long lost its allure. Instead, I think I've just watched my favourite season. I'm not alone, fans online have declared this season an 'all timer', and expressed their relief that it still has the wow factor that sets it apart from the crowd. More Trending It proves that, with the right group of people, Taskmaster has an enduring appeal that makes it one of the funniest shows on TV that could go on indefinitely if given the chance. As season 19 comes to an end, I can't help but mourn the loss of these five comics on my screen every week, but it has reinvigorated my interest in the series, meaning I will be sat when season 20 hits our screens. Each one of them has been an unexpected delight, bolstered by Greg and Alex's razor-sharp dynamic that has never wavered.
