Series 16, Episode 7 - 'I’m Off to Find a Robin.' | Full Episode | Taskmaster

There are some tricky dilemmas for the quintet of courageous contestants as the rush to wins Greg Davies’s golden head hots up. Lucy Beaumont wonders if she should risk flicking a forbidden switch, Julian Clary wonders if he needs more than one pie, and Sue Perkins wonders if a deer head is preferable to a boundary line. Alex Horne makes copious notes as Susan Wokoma performs some interpretive dance and Sam Campbell rips off his own head.

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.

Alex being genuinely befuddled by Greg asking about botox was a delight.

"Don't make me fart in the darkness listening to my own name!" Taskmaster continues to provide the English language with endless treasures. Sentences never before heard or even pondered

[Vespertinemarmalade]

Sam and Lucy getting missing that high five and then getting right after being called absolutely deranged was just so sweet😂

[cassiopeiakay]

Julian @42:20 trying to get Lucy back on her circle is just like when he reminded her to put her hands behind her back for the pineapple final task. I LOVE THEM.

[LastLighthouse]

The least “weird” I’ve ever seen Lucy was when she was told to act “weird” in this episode

[shawnbowen]

Funniest part of the episode was when alex was asking lucy where she thought everyone else put their likness cutouts and he asked where she thought Julian put his and she pointed next to hers and says "there" and alex says "thats quite close to yours. Why did you put yours there then" and she said "psssshgg..i didnt know at the time".
I laughed so damn hard and i cant believe that part was completely glossed over. That may have been the funniest part of the season so far.

[MrJohnsonDeluxe]

The physical representation of Sam's continuity error (hair cut) during the cardboard cut-out task was great

[amberdawn]

I know Lucy is talking about being in a NICU incubator, but the alternate image that she's some kind of unhinged gremlin who was lab-grown under UV light is so funny to me 😂

[Dontmakemerun]

Lucy Beaumont going for Greg's Golden Head before going up to the prizes, I love her with all my heart, bless her

[fettakamandodragon]

"Don't make me fart in the dark listening to my own name" Not a sentence I ever imagined hearing, but here we are, Sue Perkins is hilarious!

[martafonseca]

Sam is the happiest grown up I have ever seen. The way he laughed at 32:27 is just adorable.

[maxi]

I love how they immediately helped each other in the live task. No hesitation just good vibes between everyone.

[KattKirsch]

Sam and Lucy are like weird siblings whose parents left them alone in a basement too often as children 🤣🤣

[ZaneIsHere]

that live task just further supports the idea that this series' cast is the most friendly, non-hostile and cooperative cast out of the entire shos and i'm all here for it ❤

[StevenBanks]

The editing of Wayne and our contestants’ gyrations was inspired.

[carolmurphy]

Who else hoped that Susan would win this episode, simply so she could win back all her crappy prize task items?

[illusion-xiii]

Julian Clary is just so gently brutal, it's magnificent to see.

[mattlozinski]

The speed with which Lucy and Sam helped each other was adorable

[justingreen]

Sam and Lucy's failed high-five was so beautifully awkward! 😂

[stoneagainst]

This episode's banter is probably one of the funniest ones, Greg bugging Alex about having surgery done or something was so funny, especially Alex's reaction! "I'm like two decades younger than you!" haha
EDIT: I love that they kept bringing it up during the episode...! The best one was Julian during the cardboard cutout task (the 3rd recorded one) the "that was before his surgery" that was so good and so cold blooded hahaha
