Summary

The omniscient, omnipotent and omnivorous Taskmaster Greg Davies and his stunningly efficient assistant Alex Horne are back on their respective thrones, ready to test the mettle of a brand new set of comics sat before them on much smaller chairs.

Episode 10: Always Forks and Marbles

Summary

The series reaches an exhilarating climax as Sam Campbell designs a small bikini, Sue Perkins forgets about the milk, Lucy Beaumont feeds her young, Susan Wokoma pairs cornflakes with hot sauce and Julian Clary gently assaults innocent Taskmaster's assistant Alex Horne. At the end of it all, one of the five competitors will triumphantly lift Greg Davies' gilded head to heavens as 16th Taskmaster champion, while the others assess the wreckage of their once-great careers

Review

Huw Fullerton

In its 16th series, can Taskmaster keep advancing the format? Alex Horne thinks so, which is why he’s excited to announce this as the show’s first live final… although the fact we’ve been able to preview this episode might give away that this idea is played more for laughs. Still, with spin-off Junior Taskmaster on the way and a dozen overseas versions, Taskmaster: Live is surely still on the cards.

Of course, even pre-recorded this is still an exciting finale. With only a few points separating Sue Perkins, Susan Wokoma, Sam Campbell, Lucy Beaumont and Julian Clary, the comedians do terrible things to a glazed donut and take over a bizarre Taskmaster-themed hotel. It’s a nail-biter… as long as you don’t think too hard about what they’re actually all competing for (a giant gold bust of Greg Davies).
