List of Taskmaster episodes (original) (raw)

British panel show episodes

Taskmaster is a British comedy panel game show created by comedian and musician Alex Horne and presented by both Horne and Greg Davies. In the programme, a group of five celebrities – mainly comedians – attempt to complete a series of challenges, with Horne acting as umpire in each challenge, and Davies judging the work and awarding points based on contestants' performances. The concept for the programme was first created by Horne for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010; he later secured a deal with Dave to adapt it for television, with the first episode premiering in 2015. After the ninth series in 2019, the programme was acquired by Channel 4,[1] who commissioned six new series to be broadcast over the following three years.[2]

The first series was aired during 2015 on Dave for six episodes, between 28 July to 1 September. The contestants for this series were Frank Skinner, Josh Widdicombe, Roisin Conaty, Romesh Ranganathan and Tim Key, with the series' overall winner being Widdicombe – both Skinner and Ranganathan tied as runner-ups, Key placed fourth, and Conaty finished in last place. During its broadcast, the series averaged over 420,000 viewers. Following his participation, Key later went on to provide assistance with production of the programme in future series.

For the team tasks, the team of three consisted of Widdicombe, Conaty and Ranganathan, while the team of two consisted of Skinner and Key.

The second series was broadcast during 2016 for five episodes, between 21 June to 19 July. This series started the tradition of awarding a golden trophy of Greg Davies' head, unlike the previous season's prize, won by Josh Widdicombe, which had been a generic sports trophy. The contestants for this series were Doc Brown, Joe Wilkinson, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan and Richard Osman, with the series' overall winner being Ryan – Richardson ended as the runner-up, Osman placed 3rd, Brown placed 4th, and Wilkinson finished last. During its broadcast, the series averaged over 710,000 viewers.

For the team tasks, the team of three consisted of Ryan, Brown and Wilkinson, while the team of two consisted of Osman and Richardson.

Danish comedian Sofie Hagen made a voice appearance after Ryan called her during a task attempt in episode 1. Previous contestant Josh Widdicombe appeared in episode 3 to aid Osman and Richardson in a team task.

The third series was broadcast during 2016 for five episodes, between 4 October to 1 November; it was initially planned for 2017, but was aired earlier due to improved viewing figures for the programme after the second series. The contestants for this series were Al Murray, Dave Gorman, Paul Chowdhry, Rob Beckett and Sara Pascoe, with the series' overall winner being Beckett – Gorman ended as the runner-up, Murray placed 3rd, Pascoe placed 4th, and Chowdhry finished last. During its broadcast, the series averaged over 930,000 viewers.

For the team tasks, the team of three consisted of Murray, Gorman and Chowdhry, while the team of two consisted of Beckett and Pascoe.

Broadcaster and writer Ben Fogle made a cameo appearance in episode 5 due to coincidentally being in the same location during filming of a task.

The fourth series was broadcast during 2017 for eight episodes, between 25 April to 13 June. The contestants for this series were Hugh Dennis, Joe Lycett, Lolly Adefope, Mel Giedroyc and Noel Fielding, with the series' overall winner being Fielding – Lycett ended as the runner-up, Giedroyc placed 3rd, Dennis placed 4th, and Adefope finished last.

Production on the series was affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and was therefore the first to be filmed without a studio audience. The majority of the tasks had been filmed prior to UK going into lockdown, but some team tasks were modified to follow social distancing.[15] The panellists were Daisy May Cooper, Johnny Vegas, Katherine Parkinson, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring.[16]

The top two scorers in each semi-final, along with the highest-scoring third-placer, then compete in the final to win the series.

The winner of the series was Shenaya, who originally competed in the third episode.

The contestants who progressed to the next stage of the competition are marked in bold.

Taskmasterclass is a series of occasional specials narrated by Davies and Horne in character as the Taskmaster and the Taskmaster's Assistant, that acts as a clip show looking back at tasks over the years, with specific emphasis on how they were attempted and focus on certain contestants and outcomes.

A press release prior to the first special's broadcast detailed that it would feature past contestants discussing previous task attempts, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the show;[78] this was not the case.

On 15 October 2020, an official podcast began. It is hosted by Ed Gamble, the winner of Series 9, who comments on each featured episode with a special guest. Initially it focused on Series 10, with each podcast released immediately after each Taskmaster episode was broadcast.[81] Episode 12 of the podcast focused on the 2021 "New Year Treat", and then from episode 13 onwards it returned to the very beginning starting with Taskmaster Series 1 Episode 1, returning to "real-time" episodes during the broadcast run of the new series and returning to the older series in the off-season.

Taskmaster: The People's Podcast began 15th April 2022. From the launch of the podcast until September 2023, the podcast was hosted by Series 8 champion Lou Sanders and "stats-master" Jack Bernhardt. In September 2023, Jenny Eclair, 3rd place contender in series 15, took over from Lou Sanders as co-host.[82] The hosts chat stats and facts about the show, and are joined by guests, ranging from the biggest Taskmaster Superfans, to the production team and international contestants/TMs/TM assistants.[83]
