I expected Nish Kumar to be similar with his race comments, but he took to the tone of the show well and was far less relentless about it on this show - and Richard Osman's House of Games - than he is on most other panel shows. That's what I love about Taskmaster, House of Games, and Would I Lie To You - they're mostly just about fun for funs sake and the humour is warm and, mostly, politics and agenda free. That's so unlike many other shows nowadays and it's a big reason why they're three of my favourite modern shows. 🙂

It was about it being an unnecessary debate to bring up on light hearted shows like this, House of Games, Would I Lie To You, etc. There's plenty of shows where they do get discussed on a regular basis but there's still room in the schedules - or damn well should be - for shows that are just about light hearted humour, and not every show making political / agenda driven points - from either left or right wing viewpoints. Nowhere in my post was it said those points shouldn't be brought up and addressed on more suitably serious or satirical shows, as they frequently are.

@daniellamcgee4251 3 жыл бұрын

@@ace.l.w Yes! Visual processing difficulties are common with people with ADHD, due to extra eye movements making it hard to track what is being looked at. Then the information being received from the eyes to the brain is scattered, and there can be difficulty sequencing that scattered visual information to make sense of a whole image. Also, some people who have ADHD have a bit of short term memory loss associated with reading. I am not sure if that applies to puzzles! Also, recent studies have found there are definite links between ADHD and EDS. People with EDS are significantly more likely to have ADHD than the general population. Studies are suggesting that maybe a gene associated with ADHD is triggering the different gene associated EDS. More interest and research Is being done exploring these links. People with ADHD and EDS often also have Dyspraxia - also called DCD - Developmental Co-ordination Disorder. Dyspraxia is where the firing of the brain can go out of sequence, so things such as ordering information like words or pictures. Co-ordinating body movements is a bit random! This most obvious sign of dyspraxia is clumsiness. A dyspraxic person could do tasks out of order, like drying their face before washing their face. They might have trouble with speech, and navigating themselves through space. I am mentioning this in case you relate to it. By the way, I am sorry you have EDS. That sucks. I have fibro. and CFS/ ME so can relate a bit.
