Ep 1Melon Buffet
Roisin Conaty, Tim Key, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Skinner and Josh Widdicombe are tasked with trying to paint the best picture of a horse whilst riding a horse, plus there's melon-eating, bath-emptying and pop-up tents.
Ep 2The Pie Whisperer
Taskmaster Greg Davies commands his captive band of comedians to identify the contents of a table full of mystery pies, make a film backwards and high-five a fifty five year old.
Ep 3The Poet and the Egg
The comedians build a tower for an egg and make a video ‘blooper’. The results are kind of surprising and kind of scary. Plus, Josh Widdicombe gives Greg Davies the ultimate gift – one that they will both remember FOREVER.
Ep 4Down an Octave
This week, can Roisin Conaty, Tim Key, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Skinner and Josh Widdicombe fill an eggcup with tears, remember an Aussie Rules football team or play Taskmaster squash?
Ep 5Little Denim Shorts
Greg Davies and Alex Horne host as Frank Skinner takes a boulder onto a train for a pleasant excursion. Then, he and the other comedians try to make a Swedish man blush.
Ep 6The Last Supper
In the last episode of the series, the five comics are not only playing for homemade chowder but also for the inaugural Taskmaster series winner’s trophy. Tasks include playing golf with eggs and cooking a meal using ingredients starting with every letter of the alphabet.
