    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.

      I'm so confused about that task though. He didn't touch the red, his shoe did. I would have just walked right on it and placed the potato in the hole. If putting a tarp on and walking on that was OK, then surely shoes are enough of an insulation...

      That wasn't breaking down into tears, that was her cracking up. The same thing happened on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown when she was describing a ridiculous balloon fetishist scenario that she was clearly reading for the first time on the teleprompter (just before Joel Wilkinson delivers his hilarious Captain Birdseye/Mrs. Fernsby poem...I think they were all a little drunk during that taping). She has had plastic surgery (which she's very open about), and it's not always easy to tell when she's laughing.

    The potato task encapsulates everything I love about this show and it's my go to when I want to introduce people to the show. We have people having the most straight forward execution of the task, The person with the clever workaround the rules, the daft moment and the heartbreak of a rule break moment. All paired with some clever banter throughout.

      If Richard’s bullshit method was allowed then I don’t see how Joe’s shoe is any different.

      @@chimpinaneckbrace Because Richard's was interpreting the wording differently than perhaps intended, Joe's blatantly broke the rule on the task. Perhaps he had a chance if he had argued it was his shoe and not him- but it wasn't an idea brought up.
      Also, just a show. Them not giving Joe the win despite how amazing his attempt was is absolutely funnier.

      Joe's shoe is a part of Joe while worn, at least for the purpose of the task.
      If you want to get uber specific, you could argue that it's impossible to "touch" anything in the traditional understanding of the word due to the way electrons react to each other, anyways 🤷‍♂️

    I know the taskmaster made his decision years ago, but I really want to say Joe was robbed on the throw, his human body didn’t touch the red! Stepping on a tarp is just one layer more than a shoe and socks, it’s basically the same.
