Victoria Coren-Mitchell SMASHES this Riddle Task | Taskmaster

Fair to say Victoria Coren-Mitchell and Alan Davies absolutely SMASHED this one about of the park.

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 can't even begin to imagine how efficient the Mitchell household is.

I like how nonchalant Alan is when Victoria solved the riddle. Like, for him the task was "Sit in this room and do everything Victoria tells you to. You'll get to look like Charlie Chaplin and you can solve a jigsaw if you want."

[CryptP]

I like that she went 'well I've got half of the code deciphered here' and went about figuring out the other half without considering that Alan might have it

[jamesmcnulty]

The fact that Alan is told to look like Charlie Chaplain and at no point asks 'why' is so funny to me xD like he just puts it on and continues with the rest of the task lol

I'd pay money to see David and Victoria solve some Escape Rooms

[robinnes]

It honestly makes me howl that Victoria is busy successfully deciphering a code for letters she hasn’t even got access to at the same time as Alan is trying to work out how to put together a jigsaw that doesn’t have any corners.

3:42 she's even correcting the puzzle's punctuation. "I bet there should be a comma." Love it. 😂

[Museofmemory]

New Sherlock reboot. Victoria as Holmes, Alan as Watson.

[scottnunnemaker]

Man she’s make a good boss. Clear concise communication and direction.

[mairibee]

Absolutely love how much Alan and Victoria seemed to enjoy this task compared to the team of threes reception hahaha

[CB-lwty]

I love how Alan is literally like: Do you have a code on the back of your puzzle and just because she tells him she's almost done he doesn't even bother to reply I've got one too lol

[MrBuch]

I fell in love when Victoria asked, "How do you know that?!"

[anyalazor]

I think Alan was brilliant as well - while Victoria was putting together the puzzle, Alan was looking for his (it wasn't just on the table but hidden) so that's why he was behind on putting it together but he did the tasks given to him brilliantly! I think they were both amazing in this!

[MedievalFolkDance]

There is absolutely no stopping the mind of a puzzle solver when given the slightest whiff of a riddle. It becomes a very personal challenge.

[TheNerdle]

I find it so funny that she didnt think Alan would have the other half of the code. She just realised she could work it out and assumed that was what she was meant to do.

[esteban]

This was built for her. If only there were more tasks like this for her

[cassindra]

This has the same energy as Joe Thomas answering questions and doing maths quickly at the studio task

[BambooCoffin]

"Very much a task drawn from the world of the customised inhaler" - Best line ever.

Victoria Coren Mitchell is who I wanna be when I grow up

Everything Victoria did in this one is genius, but the way she clearly communicated everything she has on the table and describes everything she sees on the papers is AMAZING, that's exactly what you need when doing a co-op puzzle like this LOL and on top of that, she also gives clear instructions and uses her time efficiently, like she clearly explains the map to Alan while simultaneously solving her puzzle
