Episode 6: A Coquettish Fascinator
Summary
This seventh series reaches the halfway stage and, with the possible exception of Phil Wang, all five competitors still have high hopes of winning Greg Davies's massive gold-plated noggin. Under the watchful eye of the Taskmaster's personal bootlick Alex Horne, Kerry Godliman and Jessica Knappett resort to soapy violence, while James Acaster callously ruptures a ukulele
Review
Once it was the childish interloper on the panel show scene, now it’s an institution. Tonight is Taskmaster’s 50th episode, and after clubbing 35 contestants over the head with 263 tasks across seven series, it has still got it.
The best tasks are the ones that draw on contestants’ natural performing skills (they’re clearly wasted, for instance, packing glasses into boxes), so when they’re told to write a soap opera scene with a cliffhanger ending, the results are oddly brilliant.
For that matter, so is Rhod Gilbert’s angry aside describing Taskmaster Greg Davies as “an escaped Easter Island monument”. And so is the sight of tonight’s winner eating ice cream with a piano key.
