    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.

      Hahaha, I fully agree! The funny part (or at least slightly interesting part) to me is that both of these clue reading blunders were performed by women, whom are generally considered to be better at paying attention detail. (Though, I will say that that may be a “fact” that I’ve produced out of thin air. Hahaha.)

      I feel like it could be argued that the task didn't specify that that was the bread they had to slice. The task just said to slice the bread. The lab part was only implied by the first sentence

      @Ryan Conners I'm from the Netherlands and absolutely in love with UK panel shows/these kind of shows with comedians, and especially this show. Taskmaster producers or whoever decides that it should go on youtube know exactly what's up, much respect to them. Any more lesser known panel shows I should know about? I prob know the ones widely available on YT, but maybe there are some hidden gems I don't know yet :o Stuff like this doesn't exist at the same level in the Netherlands, it's just not the same chemistry/humor that the UK has.

      I make the Dutch subtitles for it, on Jon's channel "Wilty?Nope!"
      Also, Countdown, Richard Osman's show, Catherine Tate's show (very different, it's sketches, but very funny) and the Miranda show and Peepshow and Blackadder and James Acaster's Scrapes and so on.
      But I'd say WILTY is the best. :) I'd start with "Lee Mack's Keys' and then "Claudia Winkleman's Yoshi' and then just go from there.
      Also, after 4 or 5, once you understand the format of the show, you can treat yourself to 'Kevin's horse story', that one's very popular :)

      I think Tim’s role is more to help write the tasks in a way that leaves room for some out of the box thinking. So stuff like “say you can’t leave the lab, but don’t write down anything about turning the lights on, just cover the light switch in glowing paint and see if anyone works it on”. That and he helps production out once in a while (ie officiating Noel’s marriage to a duck)

His arm and hat together also formed a 3rd class lever with his shoulder as the fulcrum and his mussels the force. The human body is made of a bunch of machines, from a physics perspective, so you could of just thrown it. The issues here is the word "machine" most commonly, but not exclusively, refers to a complex machine which the hat was not. But this show does not restrict the interpretation of the task to the most common usage of words, most of the time.

    I would vehemently argue that the human body is a “machine”.

    I think this is my favourite group of contestants ever. The way they relate to each other is wonderful.

      Everything about her makes me happy, not least her predilection for using duct tape.

    when Mark and Alex talking about "you have hat .... is hat a machine?" ..... its so adorable that they are actually old friends. What was in Alex's mind that moment , and what conversations they had afterwards, I wonder.

    Is it me or is Aisling never seen without a cup of tea? She even asked for a cuppa during a task against the clock and took the time to dip biscuit in it lol

    Greg and Alex focused their attention on the "machine" part of the coconut task when they should have been focused on "construct."

    Sally’s “that is worse than what we did in the dark” is one of my favorite taskmaster quotes.

    Hello I am a lesbian writing in: Sally was right, we can’t just walk by strength machines. We have to open all jars within a 5km radius too, it’s hardwired in our DNA.

      Gosh it drives me crazy when my lesbian aunt visits and opens every single one of our jars
