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.

@OriginalPiMan 2 ай бұрын

@@RFC3514 Time on the task started at 0:32, and the last ball was in the last bucket at 6:02 (can just barely hear it land). That's 5 minutes 30, not the 6 minutes 05 listed on the video. My best guess is that Alex was measuring in questions, because he appears to have not stopped the timer until after the final question.

@RFC3514 2 ай бұрын

@@OriginalPiMan - I was addressing your point that "he was actually pretty fast; he finished with the balls well before the last question". That's irrelevant. If he'd taken 20 minutes to answer the first question, he would have been done with the balls "well before the second question", and he would still have been very slow. Because the time to complete the task is measured in, you know, _time_ units, not in _questions._ 😜 Also, answering the questions is part of the task, so there's no advantage in finishing the balls first (or vice-versa). In Joanne's video, for example, the first question is asked at 0:32 and the last ball goes into the bucket at 4:41. That would have been 4:09, but her time was 4:43, which includes the last question and probably a few seconds that were edited out.
