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.

@@scotthadden9816 But without knowing that Alex could see them it's just another of the many cameras they wear or see filming them throughout the show. So they are actors and actors don't mess with a camera. Multiple angles and all. Your comment seems obvious from our perspective, I thought the same thing. But as an actor they are used to wearing cameras and mics all the time. So messing with it or covering it isn't something that would occur to them unless they knew that Alex was able to get an advantage. Even seeing Alex with his cameras and phone wouldn't seem out of the ordinary for them.

@kassistwisted Жыл бұрын

I'm guessing that, as entertainment professionals, they have too much inherent respect for cameras to tamper with them. I mean, these people are all on TV a lot where there are more cameras than you realise sitting in the audience. Someone clipped a camera on them at the beginning of the task, and I think they'd no more take it off or cover it than they would remove their microphone pack. It's part of the equipment necesssary to make the show. And in some cases, tampering with a camera would mean you'd have to do the shot all over again. I'm guessing it's that mindset that Alex exploited. He knew they'd never tamper with their cameras.
