Summary

Taskmaster Greg Davies and his assistant Alex Horne, are joined by another group of celebrity contestants made up of, Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips.

Episode 8: Their Water's so Delicious

Summary

The series reaches its dramatic climax. Four comics are locked in a thrilling battle to win the coveted Taskmaster trophy, while Nish Kumar is at least enjoying the ride. Greg Davies, ably supported by Alex Horne, holds their fate in his powerful hands as he weighs up Aisling Bea's cushion-leaping, two songs about a woman named Rosalind and Bob Mortimer's intimate knowledge of Dumfries and Galloway.

Review

Frances Taylor

It wouldn’t be too controversial to say that perhaps this hasn’t been a vintage series. But although it’s been low on belly laughs, there have been some real standout moments – who can forget Nish Kumar’s coconut businessman? Bob Mortimer’s jar of Marmite? Or the frankly disturbing insight we’ve been given into Sally Phillips’s mind?

The series bows out on a high, however, with Kumar and Mark Watson proving themselves to be talented musicians, and “little Alex Horne” revealing he’s been doing a secret task of his own this whole time. But who will be crowned the ultimate series champion and win that revered gold bust of Taskmaster Greg Davies’s head?
