Rob Beckett

Greg Davies returns as the Taskmaster to judge five fresh rivals who are confronted with tasks involving vegetable propulsion, out-of-season snowmen and taking the fewest steps to reach some soup. The show climaxes in some swede-on-Swede action.

Greg Davies abuses his position of power to make five comics take on more tenuous tasks and this week they have to try and surprise Alex Horne when he emerges from his shed after an hour cooped up inside.

As the series reaches its midway point, Greg Davies’s onslaught of tasks don’t get any easier. When Al Murray is confronted with an eggcup, he goes to extreme lengths to maximise his point potential, and Sara Pascoe takes a simple loaf of bread, a few balloons, and swiftly becomes one of the greatest sporting minds of our time.

In the penultimate episode of the series, the five comedians try to impress Taskmaster Greg Davies by giving an item of clothing to a passing cyclist, whispering at an old man called Hugh, and creating some very special effects. Meanwhile, Paul Chowdhry continues to interpret tasks in his unique way.

It's the series finale and Greg Davies needs several questions answered before awarding the winner with the Taskmaster trophy... Who has the most handsome relative? How much money is Al Murray willing to spend to win? And why is Rob Beckett in such a strop with a melon, some frozen peas and a bag of flour?
