I've got a 10 hour plane ride next week, and I'll be hanging round at the airport a lot. Any recommendations for an engaging but not too taxing drama?

Please nothing cliché or tacky eg suits, CSI etc

Taskmaster! (particularly the original UK version)

Comedians are invited on for a ten episode run to perform challenges "tasks" and scored by a gruff Taskmaster.

It's fantastic, and if you like it there are 19 more serieses and some good international versions too.

S19 was one of my favorites. S20 is just ending now.
