Why you should be watching

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll puke, you'll die. It's never too late to start watching this BAFTA award-winning panel game show where 5 comedians attempt a series of tasks each episode that are then judged (harshly) by the Taskmaster. Tasks have included eating the most watermelon in 4 minutes, most accurately recreating a video game in real life, and spending several months on buying the best gift for the Taskmaster... to give you an idea of what you're getting yourself into with this life-changing series.

Taskmaster just might change your life...

Taskmaster

Greg Davies, the angry Welsh giant with fun socks who judges task attempts, awards winners his golden head trophy, and pretends he doesn't secretly love Alex.

Taskmaster's Assistant

Little Alex Horne, the task-supervisor-sometimes-participator, enforces rules and tracks scoring, isn't afraid of nudity, and graciously receives Greg's abuse.

Taskmaster's House

This former golf course groundskeeper's cottage may appear modest, but it provides the perfect setting for most of the tasks alongside the cutest caravan ever.

The Tasks

Many tasks have featured ducks or eggs for no apparent reason, but each task is unique and open for the comedians' creative and hilarious interpretation.

"When I created Taskmaster, it was never meant to be suitable for family Christmases. The host, Greg Davies, is a sweary giant, the comedians are often uncouth, and the show was on late-night TV."

-Alex Horne, Taskmaster's Assistant & show creator
