In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

Every season with Taskmaster is the same experience for me - the first two episodes I'm a bit apprehensive about the contestants, I tell myself "ah well, they can't all be hitters, just a weaker group I guess" then somewhere around episode 3 it clicks and I start to appreciate them more. And, I expect by the end of the series I'll be convinced they're the greatest group yet. Happens every series basically.

@@kischtrineI'm not a big expert on telly tasks, but I think to have it go spontaneously would take far less time than to sit down, script every bit of the task, and later also to film it, everything within 20 minutes.

Must be easy to be cryptic when you cheat, The fact absolutely no one has called it out is baffling to me too...."A" is a vowel.

@lnkmusic2534 2 ай бұрын

@ericvanderaa I guess that's one way to interpret it. I've never heard of such a thing and with the wording used I would've assumed that no vowels were allowed in our chosen words. Maybe that's a u.k thing or something, would explain why no one batted an eye

I was watching the Mr Blobby task waiting for someone to realize there was no rules against stepping backwards. They could have finished farther than where they started and see Mr Blobby without taking their eyes off of the duck as long as they still stepped forward with each quack.

@VijayMalkoti 2 ай бұрын

The task was "you must take an average length step towards the duck" so can't step backwards which would be away from duck.

@nyamjunie 2 ай бұрын

no stepping backwards allowed but i personally was screaming for them to move diagonnally /somewhat/ towards the duck but not really!!

I liked how the "operator" had Mr. Blobby chase after LAH during Steve's go. And you can briefly see someone walking toward the tent (?) during Nick's go...

I never would have guessed that hangman word because I didn't know it. The word meaning 'assistant' is just a chief's kiss towards Alex.

It is quite tense for Steve to challenge Alex to hangman - Steve's clearly a very smart man but Alex is a three-time Countdown winner. Not Cats Does Countdown, mind you, real Countdown.

Great episode. I expected better from Alex, saying that pounds is not a unit for tension. Unlike the kilogram, which is strictly a unit for mass, the pound (lbf) is technically for force.

According to the task rules, someone who reaches the duck could walk around it, still facing/looking-at the duck at all times, but manage to look back and legally see who was following.

@nec3f 2 ай бұрын

I'd argue that Sophie WAS facing the duck the entire time. Walking around to the other side of the duck is absolutely something that would have been allowed in the past. Rhod would've found a loophole to do it in zero steps.

I really cracked up at Nick's tablecloth pull. I've seen people try that irl before and while it's very, very hard to pull it clean with everything still standing, I've seen people at least get the cloth out without knocking things off the table. To have everything roll right towards him with broken glass was a spectacular failure.
