Next Episode of Taskmaster is
Season 18 / Episode 5 and airs on 10 October 2024 20:00
Greg Davies is the Taskmaster who, with the help of his right-hand man, Alex, sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper competitive comedians through a series of ingenious challenges. With the chance to be crowned show champion, rivalry amongst the comedians is encouraged, dodgy tactics rewarded and bribes accepted.
Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton are the formidable five hoping to pass the Taskmaster's muster with their attempts to hunt for patatas, hoopla a gorilla and hug a special friend.
Greg Davies has to find a way to award points after watching Nick Mohammed sheath a water bottle with a sock, Joanne McNally tie a noose for a soft toy, and Steve Pemberton repeatedly express a hankering for pancakes. Meanwhile, Little Alex Horne jots down all the facts and figures as John Robins puts his faith in honey and Sophie Willan attempts to take flight.
The answers to a great many questions will be answered in this episode. Will Steve Pemberton's no-vowels gamble pay off? Why does Sophie Willan love to balance items on her head? Can John Robins make formula milk? What does Nick Mohammed think is going to happen to those eggs? And, most intriguingly, why is Joanne McNally sniffing Little Alex Horne's beard?
The contestants are forced to wrangle wild animals, with unpleasant results for Steve Pemberton and Sophie Willan. Plus: pickled onions, and a controversial cardboard tube.
Contenders Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton continue their quest to be series champion. Steve experiments with G-force, Joanne rocks a traffic cone and Sophie splatters a human pigeon, all of which makes scoring a little tricky for all-powerful Taskmaster Greg Davies. Elsewhere, Nick gets trapped under a bed and John constructs a lengthy homage to Little Alex Horne's hero.
As the series passes the halfway stage and the epic battle to win Greg Davies' beautiful bonce begins to intensify. Steve Pemberton delivers a timely message of peace. Elsewhere, Joanne McNally invents a new catchphrase, Nick Mohammed and Sophie Willan both struggle with a bottle of water, John Robins gets creative with beans and Little Alex Horne feels the thrill of victory.
Sophie Willan shouts the name of a body part in Alex Horne's flustered face. John Robins demonstrates the power of his forearms. And can Joanne McNally act out the word 'beer'?
Taskmaster Greg Davies has witnessed many bizarre moments, but this episode ups the ante - from oars for arms to a beatboxing wolf. And why won't Nick Mohammed stop winking?!
Alex Horne risks raising Greg Davies' hackles with a task in celebration of himself. Steve Pemberton has an expletive-laden row with a bin. Plus: a novel use for a cow's ear.
It's the grand final, which means one superior competitor will end this episode by clutching Greg Davies' gilded bonce to their proud chest. But before that glorious moment, Sophie Willan will impress on keyboards, Steve Pemberton will be surprised in a field, John Robins will refuse a biscuit, Joanne McNally will struggle with an anagram, and Nick Mohammed will make a magical prediction. And, of course, Little Alex Horne will diligently record every last moment for posterity.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
