    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

      He's there for the fun of it. After all, it's about having an entertaining show while at least putting on a reasonable face of trying to win.
      As an American, I'm used to shows based around intense competition and prizes. It feels very cold and ruthless, much like parts of the country.
      I really enjoy that most UK shows put the entertainment first, and nobody's confused about it. Some barely put forth an effort to claim it's about anything but having fun. Which is great. I really do not care who wins. I want to be entertained. That's what makes daddy forget about his problems. Oh yes. Ohhh yes.

      Essentially, if you want to make a list in a prose paragraph you can use the semicolon as a sort of mid-sentence bullet point. it's a bit archaic but you'll find it in a great deal of canonical English lit.

      To answer your question, no. Many cities in the U.S. and particularly in the Midwest (where I live) have very little or no public transportation. I personally have never been anywhere that had underground public transportation. Midsize cities around here may or may not have a bus system (my small city of about 20,000 does not, but the neighboring city of 50,000 does and large cities definitely do) and that's about the only public transport you'd likely find in a majority of the U.S. I've heard that we are quite lacking in this category in comparison to many European countries.

If you ever find yourself in a place with a metro, a lot of areas take on the name of the station that is closest. Buses are a blessing and a curse. If you are late for something, you will be later on a bus. On the other hand, they're cheap and reliable.

      I've been an artist for 30 years and while I can easily do something in 10 min, you sure as heck won't be getting my best. I'd imagine it's the same for him.
      I honestly only know him from these UK tv shows, I didn't even know he had an art degree until this comment section.
      Anyhow, if you are interested in seeing other artist try to draw in short times, there was a video challenge a years ago about drawing in 1 min, 10 min, and 1 hour. That might help demonstrate the difficulty in drawing something in short time frames. You have a good one. :)

      Chris J The thing is, Noel’s been a professional (if I may say so) artist for over 20 years and, I believe, has developed a particular style which includes certain shapes/colours/expressions, so, I’m pretty sure, doing the task where they had to pain Greg, he potentially could’ve create an anatomically/visually “correct” image with all of his artistic background but instead portrayed taskmaster in his own recognisable way.

    With the flour chucking task, at 25:37 and 26:49, we can see that there are bystanders fairly close by, within yelling distance for both teams. They could have asked the passerby to take the target and bring it closer to them as they poured flour onto the target!
    They've asked random people to help them complete tasks on the show before, this would have been an easy one for either team!

    I'm rewatching this show and I just noticed that mel *technically* touches the canvas with her fingers to paint in the second task, (around the 19-20 minute mark), so Greg could've been petty and disqualified her since the only the paint and brushes could touch the canvas 😂

    I love that no one in the egg challenge used the napkin. 4 of 5 used a slice of bread.

      I was surprised too! The napkin was my first idea. You pick up a lot of things with a napkin over the course of a life, not as many with bread
      Although Mel touching every item means they would've gotten the one minute penalty anyway lol

    Did Mel and Desky learn their balloon tying together technique at Oxford?? Gosh, the things a posh education will bring you.
    Btw if Mel isn't literal human sunshine, I don't know who would be.

    For the “get the egg in the cup” task, I am amazed that no one opted for the napkin that the rice was on. Everyone saw bread and was like “ah! A napkin!” Brilliant.
