Taskmaster

The Taskmaster Greg Davies is perched on his gilded throne once more, ready to pass merciless judgement on five brand new comics hoping to win his favour by completing his fiendish tasks.

Five courageous comics continue their quest to become the proud owner of a golden trophy that bears a vague resemblance to the Taskmaster, Greg Davies.

Taskmaster Greg Davies hands down more harsh but fair judgements as he watches Julian Clary destroy a table, Lucy Beaumont munch on a tree and Sam Campbell get underneath some lint. Alex Horne faithfully collates information to feed back to his lord and master, but in doing so gets tickled by a reckless Susan Wokoma and verbally insulted by a panpipe-playing Sue Perkins. 

Taskmaster Assistant Alex Horne finds himself having to choke down some vaguely cylindrical meals created by the five contestants.

Series 16 reaches the halfway stage and while some of the five comic contestants may still harbour genuine hopes of holding aloft Greg Davies's golden head trophy, others may just be hoping to escape with at least some dignity left.

Greg Davies takes charge of another set of seemingly pointless tasks.

There are some tricky dilemmas for the quintet of courageous contestants as the rush to wins Greg Davies's golden head hots up.

The mystery of the Secret Task is finally revealed to the baffled cast of comics vying to win Greg Davies's sparkly head.

It's the business end of the series and time is running out for certain members of the cast to make their late run to win Greg Davies's magnificent golden bonce.

At the end of it all, one of the five competitors will triumphantly lift Greg Davies's gilded head to the heavens, while the other four assess the wreckage of their once great careers.
