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.

"The body of a writer and the mind of a runner" is truly phenomenal.

[@Inoqwi]

Foreshadowing to something... truly a writer.

"I'm sorry Kerry but plagiarism isn't cool" James cracks me up 😂

5:04 - "Why did it run away? Because his mother was missing?" Taskmasteresk response I wish had been provided - "All the information's in the story."

[@vinny142]

I love the little loopholes in the tasks and how they are sometimes pointed out after everybody has been working their butts off. "Write while running" so you don't have to run while you're thinking... brilliant,

[@hjt091]

I feel like there also should have been 1 or 2 points awarded for the best story, this kind of task has come with a codicil like that elsewhere in the series.

[@JudyCZ]

Yeah, I felt like Phil was robbed here as much as the points were awarded according to the rules.

[@iliketrains3495]

Series 12 would probably award 5 bonus points for the best story 😅

[@thisisthemactan]

Nice use of the word “codicil”

[@josemaria8177]

The Boy that ran from Kettering to France was actually Lloyd, the lead singer from a band called Pindrop. He had a gig in France and he ran to the stage wearing a dress. It is said that he was going to start screaming on stage

[@SweetAlchemist]

😂

[@Turboajd]

This is a multilevel James Acaster in different british gameshows trivia comment. And i got it!!!

[@OneBentMonkey]

After the gig, he returned to his flat to find it strewn with cabbages. James now hated that boy, his sworn mortal enemy.

[@ericlayton8888]

Lloyd, that was *not* the plan

[@genghiscan2918]

Show us the unaired series 5 version of this task, the one where you made them haul around typewriters.

[@chrisjones5411]

Ok, I've got the Taskmaster book here and this is what it has about that task. "Back in Series 4 we asked Hugh, Joe, Lolly, Mel, and Noel to run twice the distance (at Chesham United) with a surprisingly heavy typewriter strapped to their chests with the instruction to write a 50 word story in the middle of a fiercely cold winter. The task didn't make it to air as it looked like torture than tasking and the typewriters refused to work properly because of the sub zero temperatures but here is Lolly's effort" "Once upon a time there was a girl called Lolly and she was twenty five years old. She was single and ready to mingle. She met her soulmate in a bar. He was a librarian and he always wore black. He was extremely clean. They lived happily together for the rest of their short lives." TLDR: Typewriters didn't work and it wasn't fun to do or watch.

[@SwervingLemon]

Immediately popped into my mind: "I came, I saw, I conquered this task. Suck it!"

[@TaskmasterMN]

Rhod is such a strange combination of sometimes being extremely competitive and sometimes not caring about winning at all. This task has got to be the most effort anyone has put into a task where they weren't trying to win it in the slightest!

[@TyroRNG]

I feel like he was more in it for the entertainment and trolling.

Fun fact: This is the second (and I think most recent) occurrence of all contestants having the same score at once after multiple tasks, the first was in S3 E4. Also, Alex's 'other Mr. Gilbert' joke was when I realised combining Phil Wang and Rhod Gilbert's names results in Greg's character in the Inbetweeners.

[@FiXato]

And if you combine Phil's last name with Gilbert's first name, you get his adult entertainer name? 😅

Watching this again, I'm really surprised that the taskmaster never awarded Phil with a big fat zero. His orge story is undoubtedly the best though.

The Illiad was passed down through the oral tradition for many years... until Homer WROTE IT DOWN. There is apparently evidence in the text of some differing oral versions that he combined into his written text.

Phil should have been disqualified for clearly making up his story after crossing the finish line.

[@piratescove4]

He should have been disqualified for what he is wearing under that one piece. Let the belly hang. 🤣 I don't think it was thought about when he picked that as his season outfit.

[@asheep7797]

But then undisqualified when he said “oral” while wearing that.
