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.

James desperately trying not to say "he could've had a wank" while discussing Rhod's film is wonderful

[@squishyshelli]

James going off on that tirade about Rhod's satsuma debacle for so long, then then calmly agreeing that he'd give the points to him and that he was impressed when he did it was fantastic 😂

[@patrycjuszkaa0129]

Oh what a treat to see the full fight 😂

[@jakewhite3132]

Man, the longer James kept Hula hooping, the funnier the end result became.

[@ryshow9118]

Like the potato in a hole task with Joe 😅

[@Sunprism]

Oh my god, the single snapshot of James Acaster angrily holding a hula hoop in a train station, I wish they had kept that in the show

[@ellieberg633]

The Season 7 cast was amazing, it’s great to see bonus footage

[@mikimouse8985]

It certainly was! And as a Dane I had no fucking clue who James Acaster was - this season was a real blessing!

[@Sol-mr1lv]

I think Greg needed therapy after having Rhod on the show

[@nigeljames6017]

The fact they’ve known each other for years and have been consistently trying to one-up-the-other for years, it was a delight to see the expanded version of Rhod sneaking into Greg’s’ closet and the banter afterward.

[@evercuriousmichelle]

Totally! Greg tries to hide it but I think Rhod crossed a line and really shook Greg, he violated Greg's trust. Look at Greg's eyes during that interaction, his eyes are a bit watery and anytime he does laugh or smile it doesn't extend to the crinkles around his eyes.

[@marinvracevic]

​@@evercuriousmichelleI think you're over streching, don't think it's anything close to that

[@chewar7537]

I agree! Rhod is creepy...not sure how they are even friends.

[@littlebubulle]

​@@chewar7537 in another outtake with Rhod, Greg admitted to shooting Rhod in the back with a BB gun and then shooting Rhod's laptop. They were flatmates when that happened.

[@MrR2TheZ]

I could genuinely see James opening his shows by just hula hooping for as long as possible with absolutely no lead up. That's just his style.

[@JeniJustJeni]

My heart broke for James with the hula task. Wang didn't even try to improve. James was very dedicated. I think he deserves a special award of some sort. I understand that tasks are rigid, but I was very impressed.

[@Tyler-yy5ds]

I mean, Phil improved by about -52 seconds so I think James should have won regardless.

[@AH-te5gs]

It was one of those times a bonus point should have been offered.

[@sorinmarkov4378]

Mark Watson is in a similar vain, sending five months of cheeky texts to Greg's personal number with no points to show for it

[@EvieCorwell]

The tasks aren't rigid at all, James didn't get the point entirely because it was funnier if he didn't.

[@jonhohensee3258]

@@Tyler-yy5ds You mean???

[@ruaoneill9050]

Season 7 has the best outtakes, I could watch James and Rhod shout at each other for hours! And Jess's interjection of 'you can't just nearly kill Alex every week' is pure gold!

[@benglaser1345]

I love that Greg made James hula for nearly 2 and a half whole minutes, the entire time with zero intention of considering it for the points

[@LunaBeth97]

I'm shocked there's outtakes I haven't seen before as so many of them have been posted on other channels. James' hula hooping was way more impressive than I originally thought. I do also love how Phil looks like a kid in primary school assembly, sat on the floor mindlessly clapping while watching James do his thing😂

[@lovesingstory]

watching scenes of james shouting at rhod back now is so funny because they did a podcast together where james just straight up said he didn‘t like rhod at all during taskmaster lmfao

[@timmabbb]

Which podcast was this?

[@lovesingstory]

@@timmabbb if you type in james acaster rhod gilbert podcast it shows up

[@maxdecphoenix]

there's also the bit about rhod getting genuienly mad that Jess Knappet legit broke the ceramic statue Greg had gifted to rhod's wife which he stole and used in the prize task. You can see in the episode where she lifts it up and Rhod is like 'No' as she drops/throws it and he rockets to his feet.

[@TobyWild]

Hula-gate is right up there with Joe's Potato-gate. For a silly show, it really brings out hard feelings.

[@deaconblooze1]

Jess: *Locks herself in her apartment * *Looks under kitchen table for hidden clue *

[@cohenparsons947]

James accurately predicting "this wont make it in" and Greg assuring him "oh it will!"

[@Sophie-ip2vt]

This outtake episode has made me appreciate the fact that it’s not like other shows that are totally scripted. You can tell that Greg definitely had no idea about Rhod’s video because at around 1.43 just before they show the video Greg asks Alex really quietly under his breath if he’s seen it. Probably worried what was on there lol but at least proves that Greg had no idea about it.

[@muddydog6605]

This outtake has also brought home to me just how long Rhod was hiding in his closet.

[@theyruinedyoutubeagain]

Your best friend sneaking in your wardrobe for several hours to prank you is honestly relationship goals

[@sarah.bea.]

My theory is that James’ first attempt was hampered by that microphone pack thingy. Genuinely the best season overall ❤

[@kirnpu]

I agree - I saw that from the back and wondered if it interfered. Hula hoop master now!

[@arkham2498]

He said in a interview that they film multiple episodes in a day, and by that point he was just exhausted and nervous, he then just messed up

[@Dilmahkana]

9:04 Rhod's genuine surprised laughter is so wholesome

[@iylila]

It's so much more devistating after seeing how long they let James hula hoop before he lost.

[@pia91]

James's "what if he'd started..." will never not be funny😂

[@thomasdegroat6039]

They should have kept in the whole Rhod and James fight. That was classic Taskmaster! "You can't keep nearly killing Alex!"

[@snowiiiiie]

I don't know if it's just me, but somehow Rhod is so much more likeable in these outtakes than he comes across in the series - I would have never guessed TM does villain edits but I'm beginning to feel like Rhod got one 😅

[@gabepatton9851]

lol, they left in all the smug and none of the smiles

[@matthewmccalister5594]

I want to see the full clip of Jess smashing the statue decoration thing and Greg dropping character to scream NO.. Or as I've heard it described by James and Rhod on a podcast.

[@Sunprism]

"We've got to stop doing this! You can't nearly kill Alex every time!"

[@Zonorheso]

I'm so glad we're getting outtakes for this season. I knew James had gotten much better at hula-hooping, but I really hadn't realized how much until seeing this!

[@kirnpu]

I simply can't describe how Taskmaster has brightened my world! With all that's been going on I feel I've just been slogging through day by day. TM has made me laugh harder and longer than anything I can remember. I hope they NEVER stop producing this show. Solid gold.

[@NickKharchenko]

So true

[@someonefromsomewhere1009]

I cant believe he hula'd for so godamn long before greg hurt him

[@baryler]

so much gold in these outtakes. please do it for all seasons!

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

Best season ever. Please do a winner of losers season and bring back James acaster. I love him so

[@bluejadeblue]

i've never been more devastated than when james hula hooped

[@LC-le9ew]

These outtakes have been very enlightening in regard to James’ personality.

[@Finn-wc8nq]

Putting up a massive shit fit then conceding to being impressed you mean 😅

[@LC-le9ew]

@@Finn-wc8nq very open- minded bloke!

[@nigelbond4056]

Rhod and James made this the best series. Just brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

[@StaceWah]

Rhod is one of the best to ever do Taskmaster! He's so wonderfully, wildly mad and his own man, I bloody love him!!

[@mmessi72]

The hula hooping is actually truly impressive

[@sfshinz]

Yeah, but he did sound surprisingly Alan Partridge: “Lynn, I GOT NERVOUS.”

[@Holbytatown]

Thank you so much for these clips. You have no idea how you are helping me right now, ten minutes ago I was sobbing and couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel, now I'm definetely calmer. Thanks.

[@bacul165]

Hope your day gets better!

[@Holbytatown]

Well, that day didn't get any better, but at least it passed and I managed to go through it still hanging on, thanks for caring💞

[@TP1988]

“I’m really good at this now! I just got nervous!” James there speaking for all men in their 30s.

[@lilchaps]

We really need to see the full scene from Jessica Knappet dropping the glass wizard tower of cats

[@MrQuickLine]

So much credit to the editors who keep the end product feeling so well-paced. A lot of this felt really dragged out.

[@echtblikbonen]

He hula'd for SO LONG 😭😭😭

[@kcolloran]

I was impressed by James Hula-ing just on what made the edit and it went way longer than I thought.

[@biglogan6142]

if there isn't already ... there should be a compilation video just of James' anger, both from show and outtakes.

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

What a thoroughly splendid way to start my morning. ☕️ 😂

[@k13ehr]

There is something about Kerry that just does it for me.

[@sweetporcupine56]

I still don’t understand how the extended version of the satsuma argument and the shortened version fit together. There’s lines in the episode that aren’t here, and things are in different order. Seriously, watch them both and then try to write out in exactly what order things were actually said. Editors must’ve chopped it up so much to get all the best bits condensed down, lol.

[@sweetporcupine56]

@@-DM Of an argument?! This was very off-the-cuff from James. He talks about it in the podcast

[@JeniJustJeni]

These outtakes are pure gold, thank you so much for uploading them!

[@benmcandrew5897]

Can you imagine the sheer menace of being in a room with Rhod and Greg?!

[@nefwaenre]

Season 7 was and will remain my all time favourite series of TM. Love James to the moon and back! ♥

[@mrbushi1062]

I need more of this uncut stuff this is amazing. When I though the cast couldnt get more unhinged!

[@jayrap94]

Series 7 was such a golden series!

[@Crow-Fly]

Please have James on the show again, and Rhod too!! I need to see them competing more :) Could you do a fan favorites season and get all the best people? but mainly James!!!

[@youtubescaresme]

I always thought James was right: Greg did favor Rhod Gilbert more often than the other contestants. I disagreed with a few of Rhod's wins in that season.

[@RandomPerson-iz1qu]

the wide shot of James and Phil hula hooping and you can just see Phil spinning it around on his arm????😭😭

[@BATTLESTAR42]

Oh goodness, I didn't know the whole clip of James with the hoop was so long!

[@lcg8220]

Will we be getting a part three that is just Greg and Rhod desperately begging Jess not to smash the gift in the prize task? I desperately want to see that now.

[@PhilLewis-xg7iv]

Erm cough cough, bob mortimers series and joe wilkinsons, to name but two.

[@boahnation9932]

After the showing of the video where Rhod stayed in his closet, Greg looked at him as though he did something that he wouldn't want anybody to see 😂

[@orangesilver8]

Oh my god the full uncut 2 minutes of hula hooping.

[@MinekEzQM]

Still my fav series out of all. I could/would/want to watch raw footage of them for days.

[@patricklynch9048]

I would absolutely love, read pay for, uncut or very minimally cut studio footage

[@QuantumHistorian]

I'm not saying this was the best season of Taskmaster and nothing will ever match its heights again.... But I have yet to be proved wrong.

[@Demurr]

Kerry turning into a cymbal-banging monkey at 6:36 is exactly what I needed today

[@johndenverfan]

Greg & Alex Are Brilliant 😁

[@Scottys_Life]

YES!! I’ve been waiting for this!

[@ghost.orchid18]

Greg letting James do all that hard work on stage only to give him nought points has the exact same energy as John Mulaney's dad going to McD's and ordering a single black coffee and leaving.

[@Ali-mv3jc]

Where would one view these?

[@iliketrains3495]

@@Ali-mv3jc IDK about the Rhod one but the full Sausage or Finger game exists on the UKTV Play channel. It might be region locked, though I'd highly recommend it since it was pretty poorly edited on the show (it isn't explained they prod different body parts each time, and it makes it seem like James didn't have to get prodded at all until the final)

[@karsteinvolle]

Dreams can become true.

[@ericadavenport2039]

Why did the editor of this video put the satsuma clip before the hula hoop clip when in the satsuma clip they mention the hula hoop task? Tsk tsk.
