Bäst i test (English: Best in Test) is a Swedish comedy programme based on the British show Taskmaster. It has been broadcast on SVT since spring 2017 to 2023 and on TV4 from 2024.[1][2]

The show features four fixed panelists per series, along with one guest per episode, who all compete in odd competitions, judged by Babben Larsson and assisted by David Sundin. The show is based in the Filmhuset studio where the interview with the panelists takes place, together with the show's final. Most of the competitions are done in and around Villa Frescati in Stockholm.[3]

Reviews and awards

The show has received a negative review by Sylvia Balac from Aftonbladet, calling the show "nonsense" and ending with "Come on, SVT! You should be able to do better than this."[11] Karolina Fjellborg, also from Aftonbladet, gave a slightly more positive review saying that she has "seen worse", but still criticising that it is "another show based on nonsense and air only".[12] Malin Slotte from Hufvudstadsbladet gave also a negative review saying that "SVT have unbuttoned their pants, laid down on the couch, and greatly lowered their ambition".[13]
