Lucy Beaumont

Jimmy Carr, Rachel Riley and Susie Dent host the comedically contorted Countdown mash-up as Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont take on Rob Brydon and Joe Wilkinson, with Huge Davies in Dictionary Corner.

Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont, Sam Campbell, Sue Perkins and Susan Wokoma take on the Taskmaster. Greg slaps Alex because of peas. Lucy Beaumont marvels at a canned blindfold. And everyone tries to put a big duck in a lake.

Julian Clary destroys a table, Lucy Beaumont munches on a tree, and Sam Campbell gets underneath some lint. Meanwhile, Alex Horne is subjected to a tickling by Susan Wokoma and verbally insulted by a panpipe-playing Sue Perkins.

Julian Clary finds a former Taskmaster champion hiding behind a door, Susan Wokoma does something unexpected with mice and fish, and Sue Perkins demonstrates her love of portcullises.

Assistant Alex finds himself having to choke down some vaguely cylindrical meals created by the five contestants. Greg Davies watches in awe, delight and sometimes disgust as Lucy Beaumont gets her flowers mixed up.

Sue Perkins makes an extraordinary noise, Julian Clary gets on his hands and knees, and Lucy Beaumont creeps everyone out. Sam Campbell proves adept at identifying colourful birds, and Susan Wokoma is grateful for her formal acting training.
