This week’s Radio Times Easter special features an eggs-clusive Taskmaster challenge

by

Welcome to our Easter issue! As usual, you’ll find our top picks for the best movies, music, and shows to enjoy.

We chat with Alex Horne, the creative force behind the hilarious show Taskmaster, about a wonderfully silly challenge he’s created for Easter. You should definitely check out the video of it – it’s very satisfying to watch adults struggle with something as simple as a boiled egg and a timer!

A new show featuring Sir David Attenborough explores the surprising wildlife found right in our own back gardens, proving that amazing things are often hidden nearby. Plus, fans of the comedy W1A will be pleased to see a special appearance from Ian Fletcher.

Just a quick note about the magazine’s new design. This week marks the first major update in twenty years. You’ll still find the same content you love, but we’ve refreshed the look to make it modern and ready for the future.

Let me tell you, the visual overhaul of this publication wouldn’t have been possible without some seriously talented people. Huge thanks to Mark Taylor and Ellie Field – their design work is just fantastic, and you can really see the care they put into every detail. I also need to give a shout-out to our art editor, Jacob Howard. He kept everything running smoothly and calmly throughout the entire project, and he had a fantastic team of artists and sub-editors working alongside him. They all deserve a lot of credit!

Also in this week’s TopMob:

  • Meet the celebrities who will be exploring their spirituality on a trek to Holy Island in a new season of Pilgrimage.
  • Master of mediocrity Ian Fletcher is back and ready to tackle the World Cup in Twenty Twenty Six.
  • Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz combine their starry talent in Outcome, a satire on Hollywood.
