    At very long last, we are here to wrap up series 11, with another double.  We do our best to not go off on TOO many tangents, to keep things rolling.  But this is us, so, well...  We discuss Alex Horne's  forthcoming new Taskmaster book, as well as the cast announcement for Series 11.  Then around 55 minutes in, everyone else is free to stop listening, because that's when we get into the final scoring for Melon Buffet Master.  Will Fiona defend her two-time crown?  Will Duncan finally get his win?  Will newcomer Lucas upset the veteran players with his youthful enthusiasm?  All will be revealed in the last half hour.   Thank you all for sticking with us through the rough patches this series.  Your support means the world to us.  See you in September! -Charley & Tara --------------- Melon Buffet Merch:  https://teespring.com/stores/melonbuffet Catch us @MelonBuffet on Social Media: Facebook Twitter Instagram Email suggestions, comments, or ideas to melonbuffet@gmail.com Music - "Stickybee" by Josh Woodward.
