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.

Hugh's attempt was magnificent. The live audience was very lucky to see such skill in person!

[@fouscca]

Yeah it was Hugh

[@shailejanarain]

With Hugh Dennis its either a straight 5 or 0. There's no in between and I LOVE IT!

[@mindicity3874]

It would have been cheaper and easier to just source several unbranded plastic bags. The fact that the show went to the trouble of getting plastic bags custom printed with "Tasko" - that attention to small detail - is one of the big reasons why I love this show so much. Also, Mel's "awoogah" at 8:29 is so cute!

[@lexicurtis63]

Really? For me it's the comedy more than the plastic bag branding

[@ann0d0m1n1]

If there's one thing I know about Hugh... the man loves his front rolls.

[@emilymesch7537]

That little glance exchanged between Mel and Joe at 8:10... I suddenly want to see them together in a sitcom.

[@JakeFLM]

Ah yes. The legendary hugh dennis moment.

[@nihila]

1:16 you can see Joe asking Hugh why he is missing from the VT

[@pencilled_robin]

So you can! Thanks for noticing this little detail!

[@nicholeayt509]

Definitely the best group of competitors, such a lovely, funny group

[@youngwang97]

Noel probably would done better if he wore his cleated high heels instead

[@FrankieWilde2021]

Suprised Noel can do keepy ups

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I can just imagine Vince Noir stating he'd never play football because he'd scuff up his custom cowboy boots - and as if he'd ever risk his perfect hair by doing a header.

[@kisbie]

Half this series was a chance for Noel to display his latent sporting talents. (Though I can remember him bragging about it on Big Fat Quiz, about a decade before all this.)

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

A fair few of the more kooky, nerdy UK comedians are sleeper sportspeople.

[@IrishRepoMan]

When Greg said he'd totally zoned out, I'd done exactly the same and only snapped back in when he said it.

[@B-nu8ss]

The task said "score a goal with the bag". It doesn't say whether the bag should take the role of the ball or the goal. Conveniently, there's also a ball. Get the ball in the bag, and stop the clock.

[@cov9290]

Genius

[@tronmcrae]

I like how Hugh did a somersault in multiple tasks.

[@kisbie]

The ‘awoogah’ seems random, but there is a football connection, with it being John Fashanu’s catchphrase - although he did of course nick it off Craig Charles.

[@luciadilazzaro2285]

Hugh's s goal contrasts perfectly with Iain's. Facts!

[@marijana.majic.]

It's coming home.

[@TwistedSage]

My first thought was that I would lay down and stick my head in it and run down with it on my head, I'm surprised nobody did that.

[@nvdh81]

Most of us are taught already at young age not to stick our heads in plastic bags.

[@lucysadowski8711]

How are you going to get you head in a plastic bag without touching it with your hands?

[@ObsidianGloria]

@@lucysadowski8711 kick it semi open with feet, then maneuver head in partially open bag

[@kisbie]

I thought of picking it up with my teeth and then doing some sort of ballet dance to the goal.

[@stephwart]

Wow Hugh is so impressive!

[@KathleenFeliciano]

Genuinely disappointed only 1 person thought to loop the strap through their foot and drag it. That way you're quick and aren't kicking.

[@mikepictor]

You cut off the bonus point.

[@fireswarmdragonp]

Suprised no one bit the bag

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

AWOOOOOOGA!

[@crispoman]

Excellent performance there from Emile Desky.

[@serioushex3893]

i feel like the easiest way to transport it would have been "Take off shoe, loop the bag handle on foot, put foot back into shoe, then run it over."

[@lakef14]

Quicker but less dignified might be to put it on your head. Presumably the health team would take it off your head if you couldn’t breath lol.

[@MachineThatCreates]

If you could tie the handles of the bag together (with your feet and with the ball inside) you could get it in 2 or 3 kicks.

[@missladyanonymity]

Kitty?!

[@stardustie]

bagballer? maybe the taskmaster meant a footbagger?

[@johncameron4194]

Hugh and Mel

[@annikaliimatainen4468]

this is the best serious😍

[@TedExTheGreat]

Awooga

[@Highlandword9]

Wow

[@spacefan36]

nice one xD

[@johncameron4194]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@eamonahern7495]

If she thinks a soccer pitch is big imagine what she'd think of a gaelic football & hurling pitch!

[@missladyanonymity]

Last. Hello

You're not last now ;)
