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.

My favourite TM contestant ever. She's absolutely insane

[@bcaye]

I can agree with the second sentence.

[@jofi4580]

Agreed. She is one cracked egg.

[@jasonalmy1872]

Agreed! 😂

[@sheilaboston7051]

She has an interesting mind. What she did with that traffic cone was _AMAZING!_

[@danielnewill2624]

The most creative contestant, I agree.

[@amberdawn5372]

I live for how Bridget just constantly baffles EVERYONE with her actions. "Have you ever walked?" is a perfect response to her insanity 😂😂😂

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Her steps are absolutely, pricelessly hysterical.

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Absolutely mental 😂😂❤❤

[@StaceWah]

Look! Step, step, step 😂😅

[@DokkaChapman]

The outfit she had for the tasks was the best the show's ever had. I will die on that hill, it was just so perfect!

[@jackwang9536]

She's on my list of great TM outfits - Phil Wang's "ballsy" Bruce Lee - Fern Brady's "bifurcating" Taskmistress S&M kit - Bridget's Zorro outfit - Mawaan Rizwan's orange astronaut suit - Lee Mack's Evil Knievel jacket - Noel Fielding's Skeleton Banana onesie

Her outfits were referencing wild west films. The one in this task was the sherrif from..... [a film] .

it shocked me, it was so emotional

"I don't mind actually, I'm just really happy in life" ...Oh, Bridget, we adore you.

[@ethanol1586]

The second task is the quickest we've seen someone from absolutely failing a task to suddenly out-smarting a task

[@TroubleToby3040]

I will always consider Bridget's walk in that task to be one of the funniest moments in Taskmaster history... BUUUUUUUUTTTTTT, I totally disagree that it amounts, in the end, to "out-smarting" the task. Not that it ruined the hilarity (I know this is all in fun, after all) but that was a poor excuse for out-smarting a task. For me, "out-smarting" the task should involve working out a legitimate loophole that Alex failed to foresee, not cheap wordplay. You could find cheap wordplay to undermine almost any task. 🤷‍♂️

[@eXponentia]

@@TroubleToby3040 Literally found the loophole, the task said "Record the highest number on this pedometer" not "Record the highest number of steps on this pedometer".

[@PianoKwanMan]

@@TroubleToby3040 You're right. You can find a loophole for every task. But, it's not you who decides who wins, nor is the best who wins, but comepletely down to the discretion of one man. He can disqualify you just because you looked at him funny.

[@TroubleToby3040]

@@eXponentia Not a loophole. Wordplay. Literally. Literally wordplay. Not "literally" a loophole. Now you know how to use the word literally correctly... You are welcome.

@@TroubleToby3040 You simply dont understand the definition of loophole, but sure, keep being an arrogant ass, and you'll forever be wrong and unable to learn or grow.

[@Jayk-kz7sh]

The key and phone call task just encapsulates Briget’s approach to taskmaster perfectly. At one point she has a moment of pure genius by putting the key in her boot. But then it’s like she used too much of her brain to complete the rest of the task and she ends up annoying Alex and lying on the ground aimlessly banging a pot haha!

[@Tao_Tology]

"Sure, I'm lying on the ground. We can all see that I'm lying on the ground but, _as you know_ , Alex, you told us to keep making noise, so.... * bangs pot. Defiantly. *

[@ObsidianGloria]

​​@@Tao_Tology She reminds me of a cat: Very determined and intelligent, but will not and possibly cannot focus it towards anything productive for very long (especially if an authority figure expects them to)

[@chayimweinstock443]

Every now and again, we get a contestant that makes even the crazy contestants look chill. Bridget is just an icon.

[@kingsting12]

As soon as that hat comes on, Bridget goes from lucid to demented. I can't describe it beyond ludicrously silly. One of my favorite contestants to date.

[@emmajean8631]

Her stepping posture is just phenomenal. “That is a step! Step step step!” What a legend

[@EleanorHucklesby]

Bridget and Greg's dance that makes them look like two hostile birds reluctantly enacting their species' mating ritual is simultaneously glorious and looks like something that wouldn't be out of place in the original The Wicker Man.

[@samsbin]

Bridget's pedometer walk and Ivo's Jenny walk are on my mind constantly, they are both so good.

[@auntlynnie]

Not to mention Jessica Knappet’s fancy walk. 😂

[@HOTD108_]

Lest we forget Clive Warren's strut.

[@DodderingOldMan]

What a woman of contrasts... forgetting how to walk, collapsing in despair while banging on a pot, outsmarting the task with some ingenious thinking, creating what must surely be the most (well, maybe only) genuinely moving moment in Taskmaster history... one of the all time greatest contestants.

[@kdpflush]

I think Judi being able to sing was he only time in the whole series she wasn't bullshitting. Well, that and the fact that she can borrow a dog any time she wants.

[@oluwasegunokusaga7995]

😂

[@valerielevasseur8674]

Do we really believe the dog thing though?

[@kdpflush]

@@valerielevasseur8674 How do you even think to say something like that if it isn't true though? Unless the exact opposite is true, and despite all her efforts she's never been able to borrow a dog.

[@valerielevasseur8674]

@@kdpflush I'm kidding 😆 I like believing the funnier explanation with TM as a rule.

[@wohlhabendermanager]

Also: two kids, no stitches.

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Alex putting up Bridget's weird walk to the House Queens will forever be my favourite TM moment; that is hard to top.

[@azma11]

I've never laughed more at Taskmaster than I did at that.

[@euphoriantremedy]

In a lot of ways her humor mirrors Alex's surrealist/stating-the-obvious combination and that seems to drive him nuts!

[@beefpelican]

They played off each other so well

[@jasonalmy1872]

The more I watch this the more I love Bridget. During the shoe task there was a moment where she says 'ok I'll have to go through each one individually again' as she gives Alex a look. She knows he's frustrated with her and she's deliberately messing with him. She's brilliant ❤

[@kufena]

Bridget was a massive part of why this was the best series for me. Although it was a great set of contestants all round.

[@SquirrelNutkins]

Up until this series, 7 was my favourite, but this series overtook it ever so slightly.

[@papasy3748]

Ardal and Judi's antics were just next level hahaha, definitely one of the best series

[@exessen1684]

Her task outfit is still my favorite of all contestants. So cool🥰

[@frankshailes3205]

Lee Van Cleef's outfit...

[@iliketrains3495]

“The House Queens… and Bez” is one of the greatest lines in Taskmaster history. For those out of the loop, Bez is a member of British band Happy Mondays who is essentially just in the band as a dancer, and… a wacky one at that

[@akivajacobs7090]

Was looking through the comments just for an explanation of this joke, so Thanks!

[@poilboiler]

"I could see how annoyed he was. And that wasn't very supportive."

[@xtrapolis954m]

Pure, unadulterated chaos that gave Bob Mortimer a run for his money. 😂

[@grimscriven]

Can someone from the Taskmaster production team let Bridget know how much we all fucking love her.

[@MinekEzQM]

She's got an Instagram account.

[@solistheonegod]

Probably one of the best contestants ever and definitely one of the best outfits ever on the show.

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

You can, youre not right but you can say that

[@StaceWah]

Bridget was dangerously close to breaking the whole format. She's wild and weird and wonderful! ❤😅

[@UnclePalpy]

The House Queens is easily one of my favourite tasks and Bridget’s crazy dancing is a big reason why

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

That and the stepping throughout. That woman knows physical comedy. Also, i think she doesn't know that she's a physical comedy goddess.

[@SquirrelNutkins]

And the bird song! Don’t forget the bird song. ❤

[@sparky4878]

Some contestants may have an act, a persona. I think she’s just genuinely bonkers.

[@gianabakanos9131]

i’m actually crying at 13:27 she’s just the best. honestly. her off menu episode is unhinged. everything about her brings me so much joy

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

And a beautiful bit of payback from Little Alex 😂

[@RatedMforMatt-ure]

Bridget was fascinating to watch and hilarious to boot. One of the best contestants so far.

[@NewGalaktos]

18:17 Bridgets soft “oh” after Alex said he counted *every* question

[@Nogli]

I was stood next to Bridget at a Swans concert in London (brutally loud post-punk) just yesterday, and had to come here to watch this. Can confirm that even to that earsplitting noise, she still dances a lot, and was in total hysterics, sadistically close to one of the bass bins. I was surprised to see her at first, and then the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. Of course she's here.

[@DeeDee-ye5qe]

I forgot about "stop talking to the camera people" 😭😭

Bridget Christie champion of the working class

[@Sunprism]

"A Trillion Gazillion" "Have you thought of Two Trillion Gazillions?" ".....Eleven Trillion Gazillions" Such masterful logic

[@CaesarTjalbo]

This was a particularly funny season and Bridget was one of the leading ladies in it, a legendary performance.

[@LeornianCyng]

Bridget is by far one of the best artists on the planet. Everything she does is absolute gold and must watch.

[@NotoriousWhistler]

I put it to you that so far, there have been 90 total contestants on UK Taskmaster and Alex was more exasperated by Bridget alone than the other 89 combined.

[@user-bh1ze4gi2h]

The walk of Jack Sparrow was amazing

[@eddieboyky]

I thought Bridget was the most insane TM contestant there could ever be, and then along came Jenny Eclair.

[@PonmonofNuggetor]

1:42 i love how alex is like "we don't talk to the help bridget"

[@HailCaesar333]

I love taskmaster as you get to watch comedians you haven't seen before and end up loving them. I think Briget is my favorite example of this she is brilliant.

[@lukethomas658]

I think because I'd only seen her on QI before TM (and she was quietly funny on there) I was not prepared for her wild performance on TM.

[@Moxiecore]

"The House Queens and Bez" was a good one!

[@JackPicko91]

The only contestant to properly piss off Little Alex Horne. A national treasure

[@RICKY50518]

I need a cut of Alex and Bridget being an old married couple because I've never seen Alex in 15 series have this with anyone else 😂 just the shouting and backbiting, hell even when he complements her, her first reaction is disbelief, then follows it up with "youve never said that before!" And Alex, who in a single sentence gives off the energy of a tired 78 year old man goes "never thought it before.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lhfirex]

I enjoy every compilation of the Guess Shoe task keeping in Judi messing up Alex's name for the game.

[@vickybriggs2176]

Only contestant that genuinely irritated Alex … love it

[@palmeroringor]

[@ollietaro]

The Queen. The GOAT. The Bridget.

[@Saneyboo]

When the series first started i was sure i would hate her as a contestant, but one of my favourite of all them, the walk thing made me spit out my drink on more than one occasion.

[@MagicCardboardBox]

I like how she dressed as a vampire hunter

[@wohlhabendermanager]

It's a Lee Van Cleef outfit from the Dollars series. :) Also, all her studio outfits have a western theme to them (except maybe the one from the first recording, I don't know if it really fits the theme)
