    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.

      @@pokeydokey8226 Alan Davies has suffered a very traumatic childhood in particular due to his dad. It's often both a fear and a destiny for victims to reproduce the patterns that led to the abuse, and for the abused to become the abuser. Alan has children, and to be validated as a great dad must be very comforting for him.

      @@nybbleme Extra relatable for me because I only learned to ride a bike when I was... twelve I think? I had done it before as a child for a moment, but I generally don't like the feeling of not having solid ground to step on, so I did not follow up on that childhood learning experience until much later. And then kind of had the same sort of "eureka!" moment that Victoria had as a grown woman on camera.

      That was totally the TV show editors fault since that wasn't a clip that was part of his. They should have only revealed that after the fact because that did kind of spoil it.

      I have the urge to buy a bulk pack of googly eyes and just start putting them on random things at home and in the office.

      That was definitely one of my favorite big fat quiz episodes. Greg Davies into madness has he tries to resist the urge to put bad dong in as an answer. Him saying he regrets the entire thing and Richard ayoade just deadpan saying "I regret nothing"

    I think Victoria is a bit crap on this programme. Sometimes it feels like she's never watched it before. She's really moody too and just not funny.

    This was without a doubt the best season of TM.
    All of the cast of comedians were phenomenal and unique.
