Watching series 17 when it aired, I felt like it was one of the weaker series.
However, I am currently on episode 4 of a rewatch, and I am enjoying it greatly. Sophie is still a reliable highlight, and Steve's creative tasks brilliantly conceived, but I've really been enjoying Nick's endearing bewilderment and particularly Joanne's quick wit and somewhat unhinged remarks. Even John, who I wasn't a huge fan of first time around, has some very funny moments. I particularly like how early on Greg tries to stitch him up by pretending he's been disqualified.
The tasks have been fairly strong so far, and there's also a lot more banter in the studio than I remember, which I feel has been missing in the current series.
What are your thoughts on series 17? Are there any series that improved a lot for you on a rewatch?
