You have 45 minutes to spare and haven't laughed in years. Make me laugh little Alex Horn.

And laugh I did.

The barmy and bizarre comedy game show that pits mainly comedians against each in a series of hilarious tasks started life on the unusual place of UK Golds, and Dave channel. The station more well know for repeats and re runs.

It is the highest watched show over the entire UK Gold network and for a very good reason. For not only does the show keep itself fresh with 5 new faces every season but the kameradory between Greg and Little Alex Horne never goes stale.

Deffo worth watching box set to box set

I was in a really deep depression (really, I have mental health issues) and I started to watch a random episode of this and got into it, I ended up howling with laughter like I never have before. I have now watched every episode and always really look forward to a new series. It so funny but in such a simple way and it also has the tip top gold of the UK comedy scene. Watch it now!

Yes it's on Dave but hold fire it's bloody brilliant! First review on IMD and I've been a member for over 7 years (signed in with Facebook), just give it ago people. Peace!

And I just happened to stumble upon it randomly never heard of it before. I saw the USA version but the UK version is side splitting hilarious.

Such a simple concept, executed flawlessly! Greg is a perfect host, Alex is a pure genius for coming up with everything, brilliant choice of contestants.

I am overjoyed at the success this show has seen. It is so funny, so clever, so exciting, and overall so fun to watch. I watch and re-watch each series regularly. Highly, highly recommended.

I have rewatched this show over and over, introduced everyone I know to it and pounce on new episodes with glee!

The format is amazing, I love the tasks that Alex comes up with & that there's all kinds - artistic, athletic, intellectual, obscure.

the ridiculous authority of Greg with moments of softness that are super charming. (Checking on Knappit, hugging Katherine R., the bond with Asim)

I like the way they all take criticism & the way they put their all into things. That Alex considers feedback and adapts to it instead of ignoring it. (The stage tie task stands out for that, and made me feel even more stoked on TM.)

I can't decide whether the best bit is seeing how different people's brains work as they come up with task solutions, or trying to imagine how you would do the same task (yourself or with friends).

Fave season so far is Acaster's, but it's a testament to the awesomeness of this show that it's so hard to pick!

There is something special about the humor of Taskmaster. It is a funny combination of the subtle remarks of the comedians and the overtly absurd tasks they have to complete. Although the first few series are great, they still hadn't found that balance which series 4/5 onward nails. Greg Davies and Alex Horne's comedic chemistry is truly phenomenal. Also the music and editing is surprisingly good too.

10/10.

I hate myself for ignoring the number of ads I watched promoting the show. 2020 has been a year to forget but I will always remember it fondly for the year I binged and I binged on this absolute genius show. The task are excellent, the calibre of contestants is extremely high and Greg and (little) Alex Horne are the couple you look at and wonder 'who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon' just watch it! If you don't enjoy this show you don't deserve it!

I've watched all seasons multiple times and it still has me in fits. No other show has me laughing like this one. The relationship between Greg and Alex is hysterical and I couldn't imagine any other duo pulling it off like they do. The mix of comedians is great and I've since gone on to enjoy many of them in other TV shows. The wait for each new season is unreal but totally worth it each and every time!

This is comedy and creativeness brought together to bring you something new putting comedian's and presenters together and giving them the kind of tasks you'd give children on activity afternoon makes for some interesting situations and comedy gold.

Big comedy names are involved and compete for points to win a golden statue of Greg Davies massive head as he judges there performance on each task.

It's a very active show and with every series being a new set a challengers and tasks it's always new and funny.

Give this show a try if you love a good laugh and like seeing daft comedian's doing what they do best mucking about to make you laugh.

I used to like this show a lot. Great banter, as is common for UK shows, interesting guests, and silly tasks, thanks to the actual taskmaster, Alex Horne, being a bit outside the norm and running secretly proud with it too.

Unfortunately, with every season, it became lamer and lamer. I couldn't put my finger on it, until Alex Horne himself mentioned the problem: "Health and safety". Which just means insurance companies, not actual health and safety.

Yes, Britain is a bit known in the world for overdoing this. And I don't mean ignoring reasonable safety precautions, like some contrarians suggest. The problem is that people aren't allowed to be actual grown-ups that have personal responsibility anymore, so no matter how much something is *worth it*, and no matter how much the guests are willing to take the "risks" for it, even if lower than the risk of driving a car to the studio, it's banned.

As a great example: My 80 year old grandmother went ballooning, to gain a bit of life she didn't get when she was younger. Upon landing, on a steep slope, the basket fell over, and she ripped her shoulder tendon. A risky thing for an old person. But you know what she said? "Worth it!". ... Because what's the point of living that long, if you're never actually *alive*? ... Anything that's worth anything, has some risk to it.

The reason this is basically banned from the show, is that you got to insure people (Not bad per se, even if it *doesn't actually bring any tendons back, you know?*), and insurance companies, in order to make more profit, demand that literally everything that *might* even pose the slightest "risk" be banned. Not actually *is*, but *might*. The same way the sky *might* fall on our heads.

So for Alex Horne and willing guests, there simply is nothing left anymore. In fact, the guests have to actively be held back, and treated like small children, in a, frankly, insulting way.

That's why nowadays, all the tasks are so tame and neutered, they'd be out of place at a ten year old child's birthday party, as they'd be insulting to the child's developing independence, self-reliance and intelligence!

So all the things that are actually fun, like when Rhod Gilbert was a guest, for example, are gone. Not that there was ever any actual risk in anything, even in the first season. It's the UK after all. It's surprising that looking at your own "scary" shadow isn't banned yet.

So it's a downhill spiral, as reflected by the falling viewer counts as well. And before I grow sad, I'm going back to watching things that are actually exciting.

And keep Alex, Greg and the team in good memory, as to not soil it with what's coming out now.

Taskmaster's dead. Long live Taskmaster. May we meet again, in a more exciting universe!

It's so utterly ridiculous and silly but man I love it! Hope it goes on forever

It's a show that offers what no other show does. To a degree, it's quality comes down to the quality of the guests or competitors. Alex Horne has given birth to a brilliant concept and his rapport with Greg Davies is magical and makes the show. Each series has had at least one brilliant guest and the tasks are usually amazing and bring out amazing insights into the competitors minds, which in some cases is scary!

Overall, I love each episode and often laugh out loud on numerous occasions. I recommend this to anyone because it can appeal to anyone, regardless of age etc.

The combination of Greg Davis's Authority, Little Alex Horns IPad, 5 confused and often deranged comedians and challenges from a school fun day from hell somehow creates the perfect equation for comedy.

Firstly, Alex Horne is a genius. This show is just incredible. Every series is hilarious and unique and the tasks are great! So many great comedians have taken part , all bringing there own unique humour and take on the tasks making this programme so enjoyable. Greg Davies as the hilarious headteacher-like taskmaster and "Little Alex Horneeee!" are what make Taskmaster so special though. This show is fantastic and i hope it continues for years to come!

I'm not a big television watcher, but I love this, I struggle not to watch it in the evening because watching it before going to work, puts me in a really good mood.

You'll first watch a couple of clips on YouTube and then a couple more and then start to watch the episodes chronologically and voila! You're addicted! Your next 2 weeks is covered full off surprises and tasks!

Brilliant, unique, hilarious. It has truly grown as a show over the past ten series, and I look forward to see it continue for years to come. Greg's dynamic with Alex and the contestants is almost always funny, and I love seeing everyone's differing approaches to the tasks (and their outcomes).

Love the show. Every second of it. Can't rate it highly enough! Every contestant works so well each season and Greg and Alex are incredible and work so well together.

The first series I watched was Series 5 with Bob Mortimer and Sally Phillips, the comedic talent and penchant for absurdism made series 5 wonderful, then I saw some of the other series and they are just alright, not bad, not great, the lesson Bob Mortimer and Sally Phillips, but Mortimer in particular make everything much much better. ya know what I mean!

I watched the Swedish version before this one. I really liked the Swedish version so I hoped that this would also be a really funny show. But the jokes are sub-par and not that funny. And the show feels a bit slow and quiet, like I could fall asleep watching this. Would not recommend.

I have to admit that when my husband wanted to watch this, I had never heard of it and was skeptical. But when I saw the good reviews on here, I said ok. Glad we did! We have only watched seasons 4&5, but thought they were both funny. I think 5 is a bit better though. I would love to do some of these types of challenges with my students!

It's one of those shows that had passed me by. Then I saw a bit of one episode, something about eggs, balloons and a frying pan. Then a few months later, a bit more, but the same episode unless eggs, balloons and frying pans crop up a lot (must have been on Dave). As 4 On Demand have Taskmaster from series 1, I opted to watch from the beginning. I regularly find I'm laughing so much it hurts. There are indeed, many eggs, loads of balloons and several frying pans.
