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.

On the swedish version of Taskmaster a contestant had a brilliant solution for this. Same rules. She chose one dart from one meters but after every time she had thrown the dart she got up to the board, collected the dart, went back behind the line, threw it again and carried on like that for 10 minutes! Perfectly within the rules! Loved that solution!

[@nunneli10]

The thing is, there was no stated limit to the amount of times you could throw that one dart. You could literally just stand there, lean over and poke it in and out of the bullseye for ten minutes and score thousands of points.

[@dylanjames2]

Should’ve kept their “Let’s play darts!” reactions

[@kisbie]

Here’s how I imagine this task going for some other TMers: - Fielding would go for the regulation three, and get a 140 - Acaster would get a four-figure score with the 60, then chuck the melon in a punk fit a la Howard, and accidentally knock them all out of the board - Baddiel would go for the single dart, but insist on throwing underarm with the board behind him

[@adamrobinson6951]

And Wilkonson would throw the full 60, manage to play his way round the board in triples and doubles, then replays would show his foot was past the rope.

[@obesus787]

@@adamrobinson6951 poor man, he just can’t get a break lol

[@Drakilax]

Rhod would rope Alex into playing doubles with him, choose one dart, and have Alex point-blank the other 59 into the board. Somehow, this requires Alex to have taken his pants off.

[@gilbokhan]

- Guz would go for the 60 and end up toppling the board through too many hits in one spot, citing its 'lack of stabbability'. - Osman would find a stake or other sturdy object to fix between the regulation oche and the board, against which he would lean to 'place' all three for 180. - After ribbing all other attempts, Ardal would vanish for the first eight minutes of his own, before spending the final two minutes chucking all 60 in handfuls of no less than five.

[@ellid0]

Rhod would have realised the task says nothing about not moving the dart board, and would have taken the dart board to the 10 meter line and placed the 60 darts in like pins

[@emanminus]

Lisa was very strategic with her games

[@NimbleS]

I loved the opening for this that wasnt shown. Alex says something like "let's play darts!" And everyone facepalms, groans, and looks ashamed

[@MachineThatCreates]

Good task. If you knew the average score was going to be like 17 you'd go the close throw every time. But in the absence of that info the 60 dart spray is more appealing.

[@alexhutton8380]

At 8:13 I was really hoping Greg would give Russell 9 sexy points, meaning he was still in last place.

[@ahhqhaseeb]

This clip has captured the essence whole movie in it. Especially the 10m contestants. The tease that Tim Dillon is already good at darts gets us thinking that for sure he will score high. Then the eventual realisation that most of Tim's darts didnt hit the board and Russell who, at first we thought, wasn't good at darts getting much more darts to hit the board leading us to think that maybe Russell got a higher score. And then the final reveal that most of Russell's darts that hit the board hit the black portion which grants no points while Tim scoring second best. 10/10 Had me gasping at every part.

[@MrPeopleftw]

If I heard correctly, the rules never stated it had to be a set amount of meters away from the dartboard specifically, right? It also never stated you couldn't retrieve your dart(s) and throw them again, so technically you could just go up and throw a bunch of darts from 1 meter away, no?

[@AlexComments]

Darts is like golf, where your score gets lower when you get points. So to actually win this challenge, just miss the board.

[@Hephaestus_God]

Shouldn't you just not throw any darts or miss it on purpose? Since darts start at a high score and get lowered as you land on numbers, the highest possible score would be to not actually land on the dart board.

Would it work to walk up to the dartboard, lean it towards you, stand behind the line, and carefully PUT a single dart into the triple 20 (or triple 19 if easier)? I think if you were the only single-dart player, Greg might let you have it for creativity.

[@pub_predator9853]

Watched this and told my gf the 60x darts from 10m is easily the best option, estimating i could hit about 1/5 darts. She had no faith so we bet on it and i bought a darts board. We took it to a park and hung it on a tree. I ended up scoring 194 points with 10/60 darts hitting the board. Expected value for a dart hitting the board is somewhere around 12-ish points, so on average you just need to hit ~5x darts in order to get 60 points. Massage felt great :)

Bit late but in a game of 301, yeah. The point is to hit 301 points exactly. If you go over, you've lost, and the last shot has to be a double (in the outer ring) There's a bunch of ways to do it, but I don't think this task specified the type of game.
