Greg Davies is the "Taskmaster" in this game show that challenges the wit and wisdom of five comics, who are all putting their reputations on the line. Sidekick Alex Horne assists Davies in setting up unique and ridiculous tasks for the competitors, which include painting a picture of a horse whilst riding a horse, and making a portrait of a celebrity using only toilet rolls. The competition is further charged up by the fact that the prize pot is made up of each person's personal possessions, which they lose to the overall winner.

Jack Seale Guardian In season eight, Taskmaster can still also be ridiculously inventive, in its own homemade way Rated: 4/5 May 10, 2019 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Taskmaster's frequently dumb challenges can be actually challenging, but best of all, they usually inspire a lot of creativity and laughter.

Kasso M Lots of great laughs this season. Not the best, but no season of this show is bad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't think all the rules were followed on the cards and points were awarded where they shouldn't. Still funny though and didn't ruin my night! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
