    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.

    Rhod supporting Phil with the "I don't think those were boxes" just for Phil to slap him back with "Thanks, well I don't think that was a tower" had me dying.

    James is how I imagine most of us would actually turn out as fans of the show, if we were contestants. "Ha. I could do that." Cut to: desperately screaming, "Please!" as we throw a box into some bushes.

      To be fair, "I could do that" would've worked for the task. Just make the damn boxes and stack em.
      Everyone trying to be clever about it is what screwed them all over: Phil tried to cheat the time, James tried to cheat the number of boxes, Jess tried to cheat the effort to make the boxes.

      Even if taskmaster uploads are a bit up in the air in North America, there’s still a ton of British panel shows that still get uploaded to RUclips. Cats does Countdown is great to see comedians fail at math and spelling (Alex shows up on occasion with his band the Horne Section to do their stand up material) Big fat quiz is always fun to see them play a pub quiz for 2 hours. I think russell Howard has a ton of full episodes of his show uploaded to his channel too. Overall I’m not gonna stress too much over it all, there’s still plenty of content.

      I was hooked on him in this series from his first dead-eyed line... "MC Hammer".

    The moment at 31:27 when Phil's Wang is perfectly lined up with the can is something I can never unsee and is an image that will haunt me until I die.

    Kerry in this series is 50/50 sweet innocent middle-aged mother/ruthlessly efficient contracting builder

      More like 20/80 in favor of the builder

    These comedians are fantastic. They know exactly how to play off one another. Why aren't there more shows like this?

    Oh my god what a start of the season! This single episode has so much fun and banter, it like 3 episodes worth of fun.
    I'm from India, I dont know any of the comedians in TaskMaster. But boy, I absolutely like this Rhod guy right from half of the show, the first person to properly overpower Greg.

    I've loved the last couple series because the dynamic was genuinely wholesome and all the castmates seemed to really bond. I'm 100% sure I'm going to love this series because this cast is going to be utter chaos.

    Yes, I felt like this cast had some crazy uncontained energy between them, but I loved it!!

    Watched this Series first, for James Acaster, and then got hooked onto the show. And goodness me are you guys in for a treat. This is probably the best one yet.
