And if you've already seen this clip we've got another one tagged on the end about eggs. Enjoy.

Apparently, Alex was seriously panicked when Romesh was choking. Romesh was panicking too. Nothing like a near-death experience to start off a new TV show.

Floor melon and the wow monster are two moments that I can just keep rewinding and watch over and over

[mrquirky]

It's a shame these first seasons only had 5 to 6 episodes. I'd love for them to bring back favourites like Romesh and Joe Wilkinson for a full 10 episode series for maximum chaos.

It's amazing how far Taskmaster has come since its debut episode. What I also find interesting is that both Greg and Alex weren't sure if the show would take off, so they were technically only planning one season of it, but then it got popular and they had the backing to do another season. The rest is history.

The watermelon task really sets the tone for the show. Hell, it really encapsulates it perfectly: silly task, many ways of approaching it. At least one will be utter lunacy.

[TheMrDrMs]

Romesh running in and smashing a watermelon on the ground will never get old.

Series 15 starts on March 30th! Also, Channel 4 have agreed to do six more series of Taskmaster (up to Series 21), and there's also Junior Taskmaster on the way! Exciting!

I've watched this so many times, but I'm still chuckling my head off. Such a great start.

There is a tree surgeon in the town I live, called Tree Wizard. Always makes me think of Romesh when I see his van!

I miss the simplicity of some of the earlier tasks. I still love the show I just feel some of the tasks have too many rules. This kind of task was my favourite, it gave the comedians so much freedom to do smt we could all do at home

“I’m taking 9 grams off you!”

Just like the police

[wilks]

Love this show. The best episodes are when the players find the loopholes.

[NotoriousWhistler]

Not technically how Taskmaster started. Alex hosted the first few competitions at the Edinburgh Fringe before it became a TV show.

I live in America, I just realized how long it has been since I have seen a watermelon with seeds in it... Seedless watermelons are weird and not seedless.

[nosoma]

Why did they edit Roisin's watermelon eating out lol hers was so funny

It's exciting to see Greg Davies and Alex Horne competing in the show's first-ever episode.

Both of them have been involved in the show since its inception, with Greg as the Taskmaster and Alex as his loyal assistant.

It's interesting to see them switch roles and compete against each other, bringing a new dynamic to the show.

Their comedic chemistry is always a highlight of the show, and it's great to see them showcase their skills as contestants.

I'm curious to see how they approach the tasks and what kind of hilarious moments will arise from their interactions.

Looking forward to this episode and the new twist it brings to the show.

No no it started with the Edinburgh shows

[jimw]

This wasn’t Taskmaster’s first ever episode; there is a pilot.

My solution would be: you take the watermelon to the kitchen, you cut it up, put it in a blender and drink it.

It was funny when you were humiliating the contestants but then you brought in Judi Love and tortured the audience
