Little Alex Horne has sculpted another version of Taskmaster Greg Davies' regal head from pure gold in readiness for a brand-new series. That head is the most coveted prize in television - outside of the prizes in television that offer actual cash - so the new cohort of comics who are attempting to impress Greg by completing his bafflingly pointless tasks are all pretty desperate to claim it for themselves. The five stout-hearted souls who have willingly put their reputations on the line in search of glory are Fatiha El-Ghorri, Jason Mantzoukas, Mathew Baynton, Rosie Ramsey and Stevie Martin. All of them will approach the series with hope in their hearts, but after searching for cheese phones, dressing mannequins in wetsuits and striking powerful poses, four of them will exit broken and beaten, while only one will dance away pretending to be humble in the face of their truly incredible victory (while probably still feeling quite broken and beaten). In the first episode of the new series, with his simpering secretary Alex Horne in tow, Taskmaster Greg Davies beckons a fresh quintet of quivering comics into his world of misrule. Their success in this series opener will rest on their skills in tasks involving vinegar, raisins and, as is traditional, peas.
