Taskmaster

Five top comedians (Roisin Conaty, Tim Key, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Skinner, and Josh Widdicombe) compete in a series of tricky tasks set by the Taskmaster, Greg Davies, and his assistant, Alex Horne. This week, they have to try and paint the best picture of a horse whilst riding a horse. Also, expect melon-eating, bath-emptying, and pop-up tents.

In the last episode of the series, the five comics are not only playing for homemade chowder but also for the inaugural Taskmaster series winner’s trophy. Tasks include playing golf with eggs and cooking a meal using ingredients starting with every letter of the alphabet.

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?

Taskmaster is back with five new hyper-competitive comedians, all hoping to get their hands on the hallowed Taskmaster trophy. Greg Davies and Alex Horne return to judge and adjudicate the attempts of Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett, Lolly Adefope, Mel Giedroyc, and Noel Fielding as they aim to be the best at painting a model they can’t see, fell a load of rubber ducks, and beautifully destroy a cake.

The onslaught of tasks continues as Greg Davies ruthlessly judges the competitors’ varying approaches to his devious requests. Play along at home as Greg tries to spot the five comics once they’ve camouflaged themselves. And then don’t play along at home when they attempt to herd dogs and chickens.

Taskmaster Greg Davies hands out more merciless judgments in the penultimate episode of the series. Loyal assistant Alex Horne provides vital data analysis as usual, while the five comics continue to battle it out for the Golden Head of Glory. Hugh Dennis wields a blade – again, Noel Fielding can’t understand German, and Mel Giedroyc destroys a mannequin.
