Deliver A Lecture on Your Chosen Year | Full Task

A two-part task from Series 15: Put three single-digit numbers in the slots, then deliver a one-minute lecture about the year you selected.

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.

"Can you get money back from Eton" is such an all-time great line

[leanne]

This is the type of task you'd be assigned in a nightmare. Classic scenario of taking a test in a class you've never been in before.

[thomasthomasson]

I think one of the most triumphant moments of this series was Kiell making the "unarguable" point about water

[OurSeaBee]

1642 genuinely was a year of conflict and turmoil. The English Civil War began in 1642.

[iliketrains]

I like that Ivo still ended up winning despite the major roast of "can you get money back from Eton?"

[jrbship]

Ivo's "oh no, I'm inbred" has me dead

[craigharris]

I was in the crowd for this episode. During this task, Alex accidently said on of the years wrong and it wasn't noticed by the crew. Somebody in the front row mentioned it to Alex whilst they were re-recording some of their lines at the end of the show. The crew looked through the recording and found out he was right. It was pretty funny. Greg and Alex were like "how on earth did you pick that up but not the crew?"

2:04 “I’ve started a period!” *makes direct eye contact with the camera* 😂❤

[Brakkenimation]

I love Mae's off-hand implication that Jesus was potentially born before Pangea split apart

[samanthasimmons]

1642 was the height of the English Civil War so "it was a time of turmoil" is very accurate.

[VonBlade]

One of my favourite casts. All five were a delight.

[jamessmithson-brrm]

Classic public school approach from Ivo. Blagged his way to the win.

[bacul]

I just love it when Alex calls in the experts

[MikeDCWeld]

I definitely want to watch Jenny's full lecture. It sounded like she had some really compelling points.

[tori.t.]

Ivo's sweet little face in the lead-up to Greg giving him the full five points...Preciousness unbounded. ❤

[ninereeds]

The pro strat for this is just to spend the entire time talking about the grading system for this class, the fire assembly points, how to work the online submission portal, etc.

[belbrighton]

A really difficult task that produced comedy gold.

[leviathan]

Can you imagine if “oh no I’m inbred” were Ivo‘s last words?

[mauriii]

Asking if Pangea was in the past 2000 years is craaazyyyy

[MorningAngel]

1642 is the year that Montreal was founded, so I would have been delighted to have that as a year. I have so much info about that in my head. lol
