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.

Bridget's absolutely unhinged understanding of what a step is and how humans walk is one of the best parts of that series.

Seriously SHE had to be fucking with us. I ended up here after a tik tok and needed to see the full thing. It was mildly infuriating seeing someone find so many ways to walk without getting it to register a step but of course hilarious. I don’t know her but gotta be a character
My friend and I had a theory watching this series that Bridget's hat is what makes her so.. cartoonishly silly. Like in the live segments of the show she's relatively normal, but the second the hat goes on, she delves straight into the realm of absurdity

That was the moment that broke Judi for the studio. I dont think we really see her smiling in the studio much after that. I get the feeling she didnt really understand the show coming into it, or she vastly overestimated her own performance in the tasks, or it was all an elaborate bit, but she appeared genuinely upset in many straight-on shots of her after various tasks where she did poorly.

They've said so in the past. Ed Gamble probably would've gotten into that on the podcast. I don't think it was. It could work as one if they all did it the same, most obvious way. Maybe they figured it was win-win. Either they'll get a task or, should the task not give them anything funny, a tiebreak out of it.

It's 20 mins per participant which makes me think it was not a tiebreaker (which are usually much shorter and may not need the contestants to be using the whole time). I think the longest tiebreaker discussed in the podcast is the David Baddiel special of lassoing Alex - which did have the trick of moving the line

Well, other than the guy shaking very hard no one seems to have understood how to get steps quickly. Okay, the drill girl did but she wasn't bright enough to tighten the thing more or to try something else and just kept wasting time. Even the best wasn't very efficient though... you can get 2000 steps just walking normally in 20 minutes.

@@thenonexistinghero - yeah, I was wondering why not even one of them just said "OK, I'm going to go jogging for 20 minutes." (Although it did seem to be a hot day, and none of them were dressed for it. But as you mention, even a brisk walk would have gotten them more than 2000 steps.) As a guess, the show is a bit performative - ie, they're trying to be funny. But usually they have at least one person who just "does the thing", and acts as the straight man, which ends up being a sort of baseline for all the others to compare to. Also, none of them seem particularly athletic, so they may simply not have known how many they could have gotten in 20 minutes, and instead thought they could have gotten more by being clever. (Which is entirely possible.) I'm guessing the guy that shook his, for example, tired his wrist/arm out fairly quickly, which is why he only had 2k.

@@kevinschultz6091you underestimate how large 2000 steps is. The avg human gets about 2000-3000 steps a day if they dont do jogging or running normally. There are only 1200 seconds in 20 mins, you’d need to get 1.6 steps a second to reach 2000 steps in 20 mins. Thats like 20 mins of super fast high-knee excersizes.

This show should be shown in a psychology class to demonstrate how different people think.
The winners in Taskmaster alternate between those who bite the bullet and those who think very laterally WHILE still understanding the assignment. That last part is critical, otherwise you put a pedometer on an RC rat.
The funniest part of this task is knowing that most people can walk a mile in 20 minutes which is about 2000 steps meaning that besides what Bridget does the best method may be to actually just walk or jog

One of the things I've realised while watching Taskmaster is that I'm glad I never did drama at school.

After binging the whole show from season 1… I can say… this is still the best moment in the show. Bridget's is one of the best season right beside the season 1… i think
My second-favourite thing about this task is that a normal walking pace is about 80 steps per minute, so in 20 minutes you could clock about 1600 steps just by going for a nice relaxing walk, thus beating everyone except Chris (and arguably Bridget).
Bridget took it a step further.
I'm a bit sick and have a sore throat and Bridget's poor understanding of humans walking very nearly killed me.
"Thank you. That's enough." Yes.
I like that the one in the train robber outfit won the task.
I dont think anyone has ever looked so ridiculous while wearing such an incredible outfit.
If Judi would have just used the pedometer the ordinary way she could have taken a step every other second and still got more than what she did. LOL
when you take things a little too literally... that's a good thing sometimes on this show.
I love how Judy accused Alex of setting her up to fail, even though at any point, she could have looked at the RC car not counting steps on the pedometer and gone, "hmm, that's not working, let's try A Different Thing."
Bridget walks like a string puppet mixed with a video game character.
Someone should have argued that a gazillion isn't a actual number so they haven't recorded a number.
