Episode 10: He Was a Different Man

Summary

The final episode arrives with Greg Davies' golden head finally within reach for the remaining contestants. Russell Howard invents an elaborate form of sticky tape architecture while Tim Vine risks humiliation with an ambitious impersonation. Meanwhile, Liza Tarbuck presents Alex Horne with a huge and spectacularly messy cake as the chaotic series reaches its conclusion.

Review

David Butcher

The vital spark in making a show like Taskmaster work (or not) is often hard to pin down. It’s about the general vibe, the sense you get watching that the people involved on a panel of presenters and comedians aren’t going through the motions because their agent got them a good fee, they’re actually enjoying themselves. And if they are, we will, too.

That’s where this run of Taskmaster has been a triumph. Even on those (rare) moments when the task feels a bit lacklustre, the chemistry between Greg Davies on his golden throne judging their efforts and the contestants arguing the toss, is a cheering, happy thing.

For the final the quintet contend with skittles (knocking down as few as possible), candles (blowing one out from as far away as possible) and expressing their love for Greg. Tim Vine dressing as Greg’s mum is definitely a highlight.
