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.

_“There's strength in Arches....”_
—Joe, the Awoken

[josephfriedrich]

Imagine seeing a well dressed giant tossing a shopping trolley across a stream.

[youremakingprogress]

Richard often goes out of his way to compliment people and defuse conflict. I appreciate that a lot in a person.

[kassistwisted]

"My eyesight is affected around bridges!" from Doc was just brilliant.

[galrjkldd]

I do enjoy how Greg has no intention of even pretending to be impartial.

[freddier]

“Look under the table” is still the most beautifully executed, ballsiest hiding in plain sight that this show has produced

[talkingdeads]

Joe's face when he thought the arches things was probably THE moment of the season. What a pure man.

[nisargaramesh]

"I just thought it was a boat called under the table"

[Nightterrorx]

I don’t care that he was consistently the worst performing contestant this season. Joe Wilkinson is the best

[snowballudeshi]

I hate the amount of power this channel has over me.

[JustBen]

On one hand as an hard of hearing person for whom english isn't the first language i would prefer accurate subtitles - on the other hand: having Greg refer to himself as the touchmaster in the automatic subtitles adds some more comedy.

Everyone thinks Joe lost, but in actual fact, he was playing a completely different game. He ended the series with exactly 69 points. I see what you did there Joe. Bravo!

[jessicam.]

Richard's such a true gent, I loved when he and Katherine both voted for Joe to keep the potato red/green toss in the beginning too.

[thisfacebelievesyou]

I’ve watched this series twice and only now realized Alex calls them “a man and his son” because it’s Richard and Richardson. I thought it was just another height joke 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Mom-cfje]

It’s pretty cool that when announcing the winner they don’t spend 20 minutes of unnecessary build up and suspense. American TV should learn from this

[TheThursty]

I love how the "look under the table" above the doorway is censored until the reveal

[elfenfuer]

11:26 i am enchanted by alex' happy little face at being called "dude". if i ever see him i will be sure to call him dude. or even bro.

[NestorCustodio]

Hats off to Richard Osman for so gracefully defusing what could've easily turned into a real problem in that very last challenge.

[AmandaArnold]

When Katherine stands up to get her trophy and is basically the same height as Richard sitting down, it cracks me up every time.

[ElectroTherapyFTSoul]

We all (probably) love the "strength in arches, " but can we also appreciate how adorable Richard was playing with the boat?
