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.

Don’t ask me to defend this, but Alan’s cake was more of a cake than Victoria’s flapjack.

[@datguiser]

Well in the United States, we call the flapjack a “pancake”, so as much as I hate what Victoria did, I have to admit it was pretty convenient and convincing. Also, other names for pancakes are “hot cakes” and “griddle cakes”.

[@lhfirex]

@@datguiser British flapjacks are not the same as North American flapjacks. Especially seeing them have to bake flapjacks on Bake Off, the difference between those and pancakes is pretty big.

[@bondfool]

@@lhfirex Yes, a British flapjack is much closer to a granola bar than a pancake.

Cake, a block of compacted or congealed matter. Sit on anything that is compacted or congealed. I'd say Victoria's was the best cake for the task, though, as it makes the least mess, and could still be considered a cake after being sat upon.
