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.

Bridget flips a coin at the beginning of every task to determine whether to use 0% or 100% of her brain

[@arothmanmusic]

"I just stepped out of the barn and fucked myself."

[@ablestmage]

Well, she's hot so that balances out

[@EnoVarma]

What's the difference?

[@MHYT7]

😆

[@666mills666]

@@ablestmage if you think she's hot you really need to get out more. Jesus Christ.

[@robh7800]

I love how shocked Alex was with his first verse.. genuine pride on his face haha

[@830toAwesome]

Alex's reactions are always pure gold. I also love the plaintive "This isn't it" during the ball duel.

[@supahnoobie]

Alex looks so pleased when he fired off his first rhyme, like he was so happy he could think of something lol

[@SporkSlayer]

Legend has it that while he was preparing for the task, Chris could be heard saying "I've got the perfect idea, but I don't have a cement mixer."

[@blackdragoncyrus]

I really liked Sophie just saying "I feel really bad about this." after her verse.

[@iliketrains3495]

You can tell this was before the shoe task lol

[@andreww5138]

I don't think she was expecting Alex to come up with great rhymes off the top like that and she was running out of things to say😂

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

9:14 Alex looked so happy when he nailed his rhyme.

[@exploranaut]

Much of this season felt like Chris vs Sophie for the points and everyone else being adorable, hilarious messes

[@benfulfer3260]

Pretty much and I loved every moment

[@fairholmka]

Love everything Sophie did here, the set up, the switch, the surrender and that she gave herself a height advantage 🔥🔥❤

[@DatDenDude]

“I’d like to surrender and not do the duel anymore because I can’t think of anymore rhymes”

[@AlyJeann]

Alex's entrance was a thing of glorious beauty

[@ahsoka8938]

alex looks so pleased with himself after he finishes his first verse 9:19

[@thedunyadoneya2628]

Judy didnt set up a duel, she set up an assault.

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

I doubt those little balls hurt lol

[@Romial34]

I loved this cast. Taskmaster makes me so happy.

[@subbtopp]

God the music for this show is so fantastic, isn't ! The whole opening to this edit was great, ending with sophie and alex eyeballing each other. Thank you

[@peterclarke7006]

It's what happens when the show's creator just happens to be the frontman for a very talented band of musical weirdos. 😂

[@DragonSpawn4Twenty]

Gotta give it up to Alex, he always puts his all into the tasks aswell.. 5 points!!

[@pebble312]

9:09 “Ok little Sophie Duker, this is going to go nuclear” LMFAO NO WAY THAT WENT SO HARD 😂😂💀

[@latticinaregina]

The Sophie Duker side-eye needs a compilation tbh

[@GrandMarshalGarithos]

Traditional etiquette is to throw the glove at the feet of the challengee who then picks it up and slaps the challenger and choices the weapons, hence the phrase "throw the gauntlet".

[@sonniepronounceds-au-ni9287]

It depends on the location. Different places had different customs regarding the gloves or if gloves were used at all. Some would have the challenger slap the other person with the glove. Sometimes it was just thrown. Either way, once the gloves were off, things got interesting.

[@SgtSupaman]

"Throwing down the gauntlet" is a reference to challenges issued by those wearing armor (a cloth glove is not a gauntlet) and is not related to traditions involving slapping (I doubt you'd get all the way to an organized duel after smacking someone in the face with a chunk of metal).

[@ShinyHubCaps]

I kinda like turtleball. Would love to see more of that, and Sausage Arena 😂

[@Katie-hh9eu]

Chris Ramsey should have his own game show with his invented sports. They look really fun, but also painful, so he'd probably have to tweak them a bit to get people other than Alex to play.

[@ramwinter2622]

Perfect time to upload this with Summer just round the corner. Perfect ideas for Summer garden games.

[@randomuser3209]

I love how the colors of the cast's shoes are all so different and out there in comparison

[@Taolan8472]

Gotta love Sophia bringing back an ancient Norse tradition, Flyting!

[@sfshinz]

And she brought it "bang up to date!"

[@DokkaChapman]

So the big question: Did the editors do a lot of the yellow leaves falling in post after the on site team noticed some of the tree had shed onto the ground and came up with the idea, or is it one of the runners up the tree off camera frantically shaking a branch as Alex enters the scene?

[@Dolthra]

In the walkout, the ground is absolutely covered in those leaves, which leads me to believe the ones falling in front of the camera are probably practical.

[@nothanks9174]

The tree naturally shook in fear as Alex entered, but only because the Taskmaster told it to.

[@DokkaChapman]

@@nothanks9174 Okay, so now we have a third option.

[@DokkaChapman]

@@Dolthra I would tend to agree, but upon looking at some of the slow-mo it does look like some are manipulated in some way.

[@doornik1142]

Seriously though, if you look at the different shots you can see the leaves aren’t falling in all of them, and it doesn’t look like any leaves fall on Alex. I’m guessing most of the leaves had already fallen earlier that day, and they just drizzled some leaves in front of the camera lens for some of the walking shots.

[@SilverCyan]

I love when contestants disregard the actual task just to take vengeance on Alex

[@minhaaj00]

Bridget Christie in that mask is hilarious 😂

[@isabellaangeline2175]

She’s so wonderfully weird. Love her.

[@tvftw1]

Basket Ball actually just looks incredibly fun

[@aaronmurray7308]

Alex's rapping was on point. Very well done Alex!!

[@danopticon]

Never before realized Alex has a tattoo of a lizard on his left shoulder. It makes me wonder whether, every time he’s claimed to have just stolen a police car or committed a bunch of crimes at night, he’s being openly dead serious, and he really does go out on chaotic thrill-crime sprees.

[@joschistep3442]

5:59

[@nj.7325]

because of a tattoo of a lizard?

[@emilymalakoff9623]

Please add closed captions to your uploads un the future, they would be really appreciated.

[@brittnar]

The English auto generated work for me. It’s not the best but it’s better than nothing

[@Braiam]

@@brittnar Every time they say "duel" the CC says "jewel". I guess they were trying to get to the jewelry then

[@birdofnyx376]

I just wanted one just suggest bringing out duel disks and just have a yugioh duel.

[@joanneking170]

I would've loved that

[@ragnarocking]

It took me about 45 seconds to realize they weren't saying _"jewel"_

[@joschistep3442]

Me too 😂

[@HeyThisIsBrian]

Chris out here inventing a new sport in 20 minutes.

[@YoshiFawful64]

Turtleball should be an Olympic sport

[@randomuser3209]

I can't decide whether I'd be Sophie or Bridget in this, both is very possible

[@paulcook7426]

Ironically, Chris' sausage duel beat his basketball duel.

[@jennyanydots7582]

Judy’s ‘cocktail for energy’ for the win imho…

[@euansmith3699]

The Basket Ball Duel looked like it could be some sort of traditional Italian festive event.

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

The grunting did it for me.

[@godhasgas]

This. Is. Art. 🤣

[@flamingSSJ4]

Do a compilation where things get heated in the studio like Ardals "turtleball" comment

[@johncameron4194]

That last one 👍

[@amigopuerco]

I've never seen anyone so excited/surprised to he the 5 points

[@Ozzpot]

I must have somehow missed this episode 😅

[@doublelxp]

"Line."

[@colegrey123]

Judi made me laugh so hard

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Basket ball was exhilarating to watch.

[@rstempl]

First one I’ve seen. Awesome

[@thatbr1t1shguy]

*Top 5 anime battles of all time.*

[@glenjamindle]

It took me a full ten minutes to figure out they were saying 'duel', not 'jewel'.

[@MinekEzQM]

Never thrust the generated subtides. :)

[@daniellewilliams6721]

i appreciated her cocktail for energy, mental health matters!

[@graceyeah3926]

There are a lot of clearly edited in sound effects in this task

[@PinkOrchid8]

I find Alex pretty damn attractive in this shot - a ginger James Bond. That said -Greg’s the one for me.

[@arothmanmusic]

So, when they do a task like this but don't air it, what happens to the points?

[@lindam156]

They did air this task. But for unaired tasks (like the boys' supposed eggplant task) the points don't count

[@ronmoore4372]

I do not recall seeing this task. What episode was it ?

[@bigmama828]

Series 13 episode 1

[@isabellaangeline2175]

Lol loved Alex and Bridget in their lucha libre masks. Also, here we go again with grumpy grandpa complaining about what everyone else did when he came with bananas.

[@talesofthebrad]

Bridget is hands down, 100%, the coolest contestant to ever play this game, and yes, I know Noel Fielding has played.

[@LevinMak]

Bridget 3 Jewel 2 Sophia/sophie 4 Judy 1

[@johncameron4194]

🤣😂

[@Awesomo4000]

Why wasn't it called backsketball?

[@iamdb1990]

I knew there'd be people in the comments saying "it's 'dool' not 'jewel'", we pronounce every letter of words in England lol

[@heartofgoldfish]

including an invisible j?

[@Nononononononononononononoo]

Fancy a glass of wa-ah?

[@nj.7325]

no you don't lmao

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

Judy's was the funniest duel, the rules didn't say it needed to be fair 🤣 I also really liked the fruit one, it was awkwardly fun 🤣

[@vdubmerc3]

Judi should have gotten more points than the fruit duel

[@Skeppsvrak]

Nah, I gotta side with Greg, her attempt at this task wasn't good, a duel has to be fair.

[@KaleidoscopeEffect]

@Skeppsvrak They are always bending the rules on this show, it's part of the game. The task didn't say the duel had to be fair 🤷🏻‍♀️ The other contestant being on the bike while Alex being on that little pedal thing wasn't fait either... Plus they didn't need to win the task to win, it just needed to be funny

[@RockWontDie14]

Duel or Jewel?

[@British_Rogue]

You're thinking of 'dual'. Dual is d'yall.

[@Tao_Tology]

Do All.

[@themug406]

Its shocking that theres real people that like Judy

[@andrewellis712]

Hey silly Brits, it’s duel, not jewel 😂

[@emer157]

What language is that?

[@qu5492]

First

[@staraway9602]

first lol

[@theblackheart5727]

I wish Sophie would smile more. Damn gorgeous when she does.

[@ratedRblazin420]

Judy the beached whale is SOOO annoying

[@dianaklien1560]

All the females made the rules so they had a big advantage against their opponents.

[@EnoVarma]

Man, this series was forgettable. Especially since the next one is probably the best of all time.

[@nigeljames6017]

I disagree, the contestants made it unforgettable.

[@WhiteWolf496]

Nah I loved this series.

[@ShinyHubCaps]

13 and 14 were both legendary IMO

[@Katzii]

No weh!

[@MinekEzQM]

I disagree. This series got some great moments. I loved the blind folded task (especially with the bet), the "high 5" task, the bangers on the cement mixer , the "House Queens", Bridget's TM persona in general. And in my opinion "Find the 10 ducks" was the second best series opener in TM UK history. Also this series left us with the "the mysterious aubergine task" - forever. :(

[@justchiling22]

Love how the contestants purposefully put Alex at such a disadvantage 😂
