Series 16, Episode 10 - 'Always forks and marbles.' | Full Episode | Taskmaster

The series reaches an exhilarating climax as Sam Campbell designs a small bikini, Sue Perkins forgets about the milk, Lucy Beaumont feeds her young, Susan Wokoma pairs cornflakes with hot sauce and Julian Clary gently assaults an innocent Taskmaster Assistant. At the end of it all, one of the five competitors will triumphantly lift Greg Davies’s gilded head to the heavens, while the other four assess the wreckage of their once great careers.

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.

What a cast! Julian “Bond Villain” Clary Lucy “My Legs Are Arms” Beaumont Sam “Doctor Cigarettes” Campbell Sue “Portcullis!” Perkins And Susan “30 Grand, Baby” Wokoma I certainly don’t envy the contestants that have to follow them but I’m excited to see who’s up to the task!

@@enisra_bowman Well I don't think anyone was saying it about the cast of the last series. That was one of the worst in recent memory.

[@kwirb]

The moment Susan gives Sue cucumbers to stress eat with her and she immediately puts them on her eyes at the exact perfect timing of “Qrs” walking back to reception… lol👌🏽and that “hoo-hoo”ing. I really hope they do open a B&B together 😂 And there’s a quick moment where Sue is reading him his bedtime story and you can see Susan panicking past in the background. 😂 This whole thing was perfection.

[@vitriolicAmaranth]

As somebody who has worked in hospitality I love how Sue and Susan go from very artificially playing the role of hotel workers in a weird improv to completely naturally playing a convincing pair of hotel workers at an understaffed hotel because Alex very convincingly plays a horrible hotel guest

[@krakenpots5693]

Yes, I particularly enjoyed that part, having also worked in hotels. The impression that no matter what you do, it'll never be enough... the selfish disdain... *shudder* I'm getting flashbacks just thinking about it...

[@hp8685]

​@krakenpots5693 apologizing for someone else's oversight (assuming the guest even actually communicated their preference at all), scrambling to fill what should be several people's separate jobs, responding to catestrophic situations while the phone won't stop ringing with new inane concerns that you still have to be polite about... yeah. wish i'd had a fellow Sue

[@DarkHarlequin]

I also got flashbacks to my hospitality days... (shudder). To this day I feel uncomfortable with the hyper friendly service in super fancy Hotels cause 'god damnit' do I remember what that was like on the other side 😄😄

Back in the 90s, the tv show Babylon 5 was a thing. S science fiction show that had a 5 year arc for the story. In year 3, we used to have watch parties and all come together for an evening. And order delivery food. We’d have 6 hours of show to watch. (Only one of us had paid for the cable package that included the channel that aired the show) I travelled to the USA for a science fiction convention. One of the attendees recorded the show the Thursday before the weekend convention. He played the show in his hospitality suite 3 times before I heard about it. He loaned me the tape, instead of playing it again on his VCR he’d brought to the convention. I failed at finding a spare VCR to play it on. So I contacted the show. Good news! The hotel had VCRs for rent! Bad news! They wanted 300$ for a day. (At the time, a VCR cost 300$.) Out of my price range. Ahhh! Hotels. And the exorbitant rates they charge! (I did see the episode, weeks later at another watch party. Our saviour had watched the show more than once herself... so enjoyed watching us watch the show, knowing the surprises and thrills to come. We had no idea how closely she watched our faces at the time.)

Seeing Sam right at the start was a really good sign for a great episode.Actually had to skip Lucy and Susan's donut stuff. Had a weird fear/anticipation for Julian's ending more like Lucy's. 'So when you think exorcise, you think of a different word?' 'Yeah.' One of countless, wonderful interactions.

[@jessehammer123]

I’m so excited! Sam is in the lead, but surprisingly not by so much that Julian can’t plausibly catch him over the course of one good episode. I just wish there were more- I hate when TM’s done for the season and I have to wait another 3.5 months or so for the return.

I loved this series much more than any other before it! Maybe it was the fact that the episodes were aired directly to YT, maybe it was the fact I had more time to watch it, but I think that above all, it was the contestants who really made it for me. Never was there such a wonderful and beautiful cast! (Although I did love Mike Wozniak!!) Their wit, their humor, their wholesomeness just made it feel as though it wasn't just a competition, they were family and they were there to have fun together!

Call it "The 16ers" and have them do Bake Off, Love Island (with ridiculously hot models cast as well and they're only allowed to "date" the comics), Rupaul's Drag Race - not sure how this would work, maybe they should be the makeover group for the actual RPDR, etc. etc. They could do a "Real Housewives of the 16ers" series that focuses on their families.

[@ArcCushion]

The last TM Hotel task was best best one in a very long time. I loved the girls' effort, and the 3 ppl team made me laugh so hard!!!! I was brilliant! And so unique. Who has seen Alex in a leather jacket before??? Not me.

[@maiNmusica]

I don't know why but Sam bringing the pillow and duvet to checkout completely broke me.😂 What a cast, what a season!

"If a woman regurgitates into a man's mouth, she gets to have 5 points!" A sentence only possible on Taskmaster.

[@stephennetu]

I always feel awful when a series ends, but boy, it's even more so this time. This cast is always going to have a special place in my heart--I truly wish they could keep going.

[@RolfeyRozzay]

There should be an “Alex’s nightmare” season with the five competitors who gave him the most shit. Julien and James acaster would definitely be on it 😂

[@RealBradMiller]

Yessss!

[@nyaradhiambo]

Except James, Ed and Rhod were funny and a boat of trouble in a funny way But Julien is just outright MEAN ☹️

[@bonobobby]

Sally Phillips. Julian Clary. Rhod Gilbert. Ed Gamble. Fern Brady.

[@me-wowlk7402]

Julian really had a go on Alex in this one. What a wonderful man, how he shooed him from the "hotel" is just cherry on top of his performance!

[@dontpanic716]

charged him 300pounds, and then shooed him away without his clothes he took earlier.

[@DaddyMorphosis]

Also spat a donut in his face hahaha

The hotel task was a genius one to end on. I've never laughed so hard over a task that I had to keep pausing it because I couldn't hear over my own cackling. Both teams were absolutely chaotic and hilarious in two such completely different ways. Everyone on this series is a maniac and I adore them all so much

[@abimopectore6859]

The Hoteltask may be my favourite task of all time The different dynamics within the two teams was just great, and I would have loved to be a guest at both of them

[@elin3764]

i know, right! i loved how it put Alex in a different position and he got to play a different character lmao

[@delightfulmochas]

I loved the contrast between “Taskmaster Hotel, this is Sue” and “whats up?”

[@darthvedder7664]

I laughed outloud when alex left the hotel of the three. Sam holding the bedding for whatever reason, lucy yelling he needs trousers and for me the best was juliens hand gesture to move on when alex turned around one last time

[@chaosic08]

"How we laughed" I'm going to miss this group of people, especially Julian. Was a bit put off by him at the start and suspected he was going to be the stick in the mud, but his polite sass is so entertaining to watch. The hotel task had me laughing so hard, the three of them looking into the window as Alex calls reception and Julian going : "Do you think he's calling reception" and Sam answers the phone with "What's up?"

[@albalala1473]

Chez Clary-Beaumont-Campbell was more terrifying than the Overlook Hotel, I'm sure Qrs thought he was was going to die. This was the best season ever.

[@alloallie]

It's the contrast between the Sue's veeeeeryy-well run hotel and the Faulty Towers that is Sam, Lucy, and Julian's version. LOL !

[@Giguv05]

Him spelling HI with forks and then spooking Alex was straight thriller villain behaviour :D

[@Zoon-li-ol5ih]

It was like a hotel run by two fae trickster spirits who only have a vague idea of what a human "hotel" is, while Julian is the unfortunate last mortal human who got trapped there for all eternity, and passes the time by being a bored hotel manager

[@pendlera2959]

@@Zoon-li-ol5ih That would make such a fun webcomic.

After this season, I really need to see Sam Campbell on WILTY. David would be hella confused by him.

[@savy6623]

Happened! And David's reaction was indeed hella confused by him😂😂

[@ladyshix]

Lucy is my favorite person to have ever come last. She never felt demotivated and always just wanted to have fun and allow others to enjoy with her.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

She was so off the wall. It took me a while to not cringe and just accept her eccentricity. Jon Richardson couldn't have gotten a better wife.

[@unkyduck]

and I think she believed Qrs was going to go to the meeting without trousers

[@irisblue2332]

@@unkyduck Her urgency felt real!

[@MinekEzQM]

Seeing Jon Richardson on "8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" being so competitive, having the urge to win all the time, I can see why Lucy is so shy and confused at many tasks, like she's not allowed to win at home, and she can't imagine a situation where she can actually be glorious. :(

[@irisblue2332]

@@MinekEzQM I think she’s fine. She’s fine. She’s fully in control of Meet the Richardsons and regularly takes the piss out of Jon and his foibles. There’s a running gag through a season about how much more successful she is than him.

Susan's reaction to Alex's suitcase both during the task and then recounting it on the show had me CRYING omg
