    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

If I wanted to use my own wax seals, I'd do it the modern (glue gun) way. Which, incidentally, if you haven't encountered glue-gun sealing wax - it's a really nice way to get into sealing wax (supposedly mail sorting machine resistant, although I have yet to test that) and relatively low fuss. It does tend to tie up a hot glue gun, though.

    Something that hadn't dawned on me until this rewatch, Nish is so willing to be the butt of a joke. On the basketball task when they showed the clip of him chipping it in, he started celebrating in the studio like Joe Wilkinson did when he threw the potato into the golf hole. The difference is, Nish did this KNOWING full well how badly he'd fucked it and just willingly committed to the bit so the punchline would be that much better. What a hero.

      Noel has a reputation for being wacky and whimsical and strange in that way, and he definitely is and can be - hell, he was a radioactive skeleton for most of the Season 4 tasks - but he's honestly such a teddy bear. The finale of Season 4 was amazing because by that point, everybody in the cast had clearly bonded and had an excellent time. Everybody won at least once, even Hugh and Lolly, who looked like they were the bottom-feeders from the start, and their reactions and celebrations were true "underdog story" moments. Mel, Noel, and Joe were over the moon for them.
      Seeing Noel and Mel hug and cuddle constantly throughout Season 4, plus all of them just sharing a good time by the end, meant that a heavy dose of the whimsicality and wackiness was pretty sidelined by how much fun, games, and love was going on in the room, especially with the message Lolly wrote next to her duck.
      Now, everybody in THIS cast was going for sheer psychopathy or at least severe mental illness off-the-bat and god is it just as delightful.

      They should have a Worse of the Worse. To compliment Champions of Champions. They could have Alice Levine, Joe Wilkinson , Nish Kumar, Phil Wang and David Baddiel. I don't know about you but that is a hilarious group of mediocrity. I really loved Nish's attitude through the whole series. He really seemed like he was having fun. Didn't care he was loosing and was great at laughing at himself.

    It's amazing to me that they take the time to record and super-edit brand new sequences for almost every task and for very nearly every pre and post commercial break bit! Incredible passion there!

    Having your name sung by an opera singer to the tune of the Taskmaster theme is 12 times less awkward than having the happy birthday song flung at you in a reasonably busy restaurant.

    I come back to this series the most I think (even though I also really love acaster's) because the comedic chemistry in this group is honestly next level. Bob and Sally are iconic and make my cheeks hurt from smiling so much

    Omg this might be my favorite episode so far. The cuddle one made me laugh soooooo much. So did the elegant one. And the fake one shot. Opera singing the theme at the end is a nice touch too! All in all, love everything about this ep!
