Taskmaster

Greg Davies returns with the comedy game show that offers uncomplicated enjoyment of the kind you only get from seeing a top comedian try to roll three big inflatable balls up a hill in a strong breeze.

Davies sits on a gilded throne while his sidekick (and deviser of the show) Alex Horne keeps score and oversees tasks for a panel of comics including Jon Richardson and Katherine Ryan.

Richard Osman devises a cunning, lateral-thinking way around most tasks but it’s Joe Wilkinson who produces an involuntary cheer for us at home while attempting the throw-a-potato-in-a-golf-hole task. “I think that’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” he says.
