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.

I'm so sad nobody realized that with the way it was worded, someone could start behind the line and run with a trolley to the first trolley and strike it. It never mentioned where your feet had to be while you're touching the cart. It didn't matter where John stepped after where he started.

[@aspuzling]

I had the same thought and so did Ed Gamble on the taskmaster podcast. Unfortunately we didn't get an answer from Alex as to whether it would be allowed but I think you could have made a good case for it given the wording of the task.

[@RyansRandomRants]

@@aspuzling Yeah, if there's nothing in the task that says "do not cross the line" then you're good. I mean it does specifically say "starting behind the line", indicating you can cross it.

[@jakh]

It said “place one luggage trolly a certain distance away from the line” so they never even needed to place it in front of the line. Only the player needed to be behind the line. So they could have placed it 300 meters behind the line then just walked another trolly into it

[@Tao_Tology]

I've decided, in my mind, that every one of them at one point took a run up and then lept onto the trolley, riding the erstwhile luggage transporter device into the group of trolleys. This did happen and I will not be convinced otherwise.

I feel like Alex just wandered round Gatwick thinking "what tasks can we do here". And he did great. They should have done (maybe they did do) chair racing. We did that in university in the middle of the night in a mostly empty academic hall. I was in school the first year of getting campus internet, and no one had thought of all of the pitfalls of letting college students loose in a large building with minimal supervision 24 hours a day. And one of the things we did during the long waits for basically anything to happen on a 1990s era computer, was chair races.

@@amemelia It's easier to do aerial shots outdoors because you can use either drone footage or Google Maps, it's much more difficult to do it indoors - they would either have to create a picture of the terminal floor themselves or take as many shots of the floor from as high as they can get and then splice them all together. Neither of those things would be particularly difficult to do, it'd just be a pain in the arse doing it.

IDK why, but my first read of the title went like this: "Hit One Another With A Trolley." now I wish that had been the task.

[@beyond6storm]

So far I've seen the girls. One of them started out pushing from the line, figured out that, from the physics point of view, it's easier to give the trolley a lot of inertia in the direction you want it to go, if you take a longer run-up (initial speed and friction matter too, but still), the other one did the whole learning process in reverse, for a legitimate-ish reason.

It didn't say you couldn't be in contact with the trolley over the line. It just said you had to start behind the line.
