Taskmaster, Series 5

In 'Series Years', we're reaching half-a-decade of Taskmaster. Greg Davies, the all-powerful Taskmaster, once more sets the bewildering assignments that have the capacity to inspire both rank incompetence and utter genius from the five comics fighting for his love and admiration. And what fresh fish the Taskmaster has to feast on this series! Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips are the chosen quintet who all harbour the same dream of lifting the premier prize in television, sport, or indeed, any field at all: Greg's decapitated head on a spiked plinth. As always, statistical beaver and general dogsbody Alex Horne will be at Greg's side, tail wagging happily, always eager to provide any assistance his overlord requires to aid the delivering of his ruthless judgements. Seals will be broken, tasks will be read and unpredictable actions will then occur as the five comedians grapple with problems involving cuddles, candles and coconuts. Could you paint a rainbow in total darkness? Create a watercooler moment using a watercooler? Make Marmite? Yes? No? These fearless competitors both can and can't too.
