Greg Davies hosts as the Taskmaster. Five comics compete in a series of tricky tasks - this week they try to paint the best picture of a horse... whilst riding a horse.

Taskmaster

Melon buffet

Nobly assisted by Alex Horne, Taskmaster Greg Davies commands his captive band of comedians to identify the contents of a table full of mystery pies, high five a fifty-five-year-old and a backwards film task leads to the creation of The Tree Wizard.

The pie whisperer

Greg Davies and Alex Horne set anarchic tasks for comedians. They learn how to not break an egg and paint with the internet.

The poet and the egg

Greg Davies and Alex Horne test the skills of their troupe of comedians - Can Roisin Conaty, Tim Key, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Skinner and Josh Widdicombe fill an eggcup with tears, remember an ozzie rules football team or play Taskmaster squash?

Down an octave

How do you make a Swede blush? Can you take a boulder on a train? Find out, as Greg Davies and Alex Horne torment a captive band of comics.

Little denim shorts

Last in the series. As well as playing for Tim's salmon chowder, the comics have their eye on winning the inaugural Taskmaster trophy. Who is best at golf with eggs? And just who are Brad and Jeff?

The last supper

Pluto

Greg Davies abuses his position of power to make five comics take on more tenuous tasks and this week they have to try and surprise Alex Horne when he emerges from his shed after an hour cooped up inside.

The dong and the gong

Greg Davies returns as the Taskmaster to judge five fresh rivals who are confronted with tasks involving vegetable propulsion, out-of-season snowmen and taking the fewest steps to reach some soup. The show climaxes in some swede-on-Swede action.

Pea in a haystack

As the series reaches its midway point, Greg Davies's onslaught of tasks don't get any easier – with domino rallies, flag meals and, when asked to fill an eggcup with sweat, Al Murray goes to extreme lengths to maximise his point potential.

Little polythene grief cave

In the penultimate episode of the series, the five comedians try to impress Taskmaster Greg Davies in a variety of ways, including giving an item of clothing to a passing cyclist and interviewing an 83-year-old man called Hugh under hushed conditions.

A very nuanced character

It's the series finale and, before Greg Davies awards the winner with the Taskmaster trophy, we get to find out which competitor has the most handsome relative and why Rob Beckett is beyond livid with not just frozen peas but watermelon AND flour.

The F.I.P.

Greg Davies stars as the Taskmaster who, with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne, tests the wiles, wit and wisdom of five comedians through a series of strange and surreal challenges in what is the most ridiculous comedy entertainment show on TV.
