    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.

      @@Sp4mMe Completely agree on the cake task. I actually would have put Mel in last because she didn't do the task! That cake was not properly destroyed, and I wonder if she actually misunderstood it as a speed task initially. Also, Noel's in the washing machine was great in concept, but I didn't think delivered visually. I usually follow Greg's logic even if I differ slightly, but this was the first judgment I thought he was very off. 5th - Mel; 4th - Dennis; 3rd - Noel; 2nd - Lolly; 1st - Joe.

      @@gamesandfun781 I often think back to the escalator. David was soooo wrong about that, rhod was serious and right.... when we walk up stairs, the reason we don't have to look how high to step is because our mind works with the feet and knows the distance between steps. On an escalator that isn't moving, the last step is lower than all the other steps (unless by chance the escalator stopped perfectly). So when you take the step, your mind is expecting to touch ground, but it doesn't, therefore causing a bit of a trip.

      But it was the GAZE of Medusa which turned people to stone, the fact that she was asleep at the time means that even looking at the reflection wouldn't have mattered since he was not looking at her eyes. If memory serves me well, Medusa's Gorgon sisters shared a single tooth and eye between themselves so, being able to look at them, would mean that it has to be both eyes. Either way. The point is moot since looking at the reflection was when Medusa had her eyes closed.

      Going off of all the seasons they seem to put at least one of Greg's friends in every other season so he has someone to pick on. They all seem to love the dynamic.

    I'm in Canada so I don't know anyone from any season. But, I think I love Noel. He's like shy and to himself and had a beautiful mind, and for some reason is on a show being embarrassed and having a laugh and absolutely having the best time.

    They really did Lolly and Hugh dirty for the cake round and Hugh again for the caricature challenge, while being super lenient to Noel for both aforementioned challenges. Not to mention, wasn't Noel supposed to do the stage challenge one-handed?
    Welp. I know this is just a show but just can't help but notice.

      Lolly was totally robbed on the caricature too. It might not have been as good a drawing but it was the most accurate caricature, she even got the model's style of clothes right. And she actually juiced her fruit one-handed in the last task.

    I'm relatively new to this show and have watched all the clip videos I could find. Didn't realise until recently that full episodes were available, so far I've watched seasons 1-3 in full and this episode.
    This is, I think the best single episode I've seen so far and I know from the clip shows that one of the funniest moments I've seen is coming up at some point in this series :)
