Taskmaster Series 14, Episode 10 - Did I Meet These Potatoes Before? - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

After nine episodes of tense, heated competition, it's time for the grand final! But which one of the five contestants will howl with triumph as they hold aloft Greg Davies' gold-sprayed head? That might depend on John Kearns finding a grape, Sarah Millican's scissors, and an accurate description of Dara O Briain's eye colour. The ever-helpful Alex Horne lifts a duck for Fern Brady and provides some moon boots for Munya Chawawa.
