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.

Well he's certainly qualified being a superhero.
The best season. I'm positive! Rhod's constant attacks on the taskmaster, Wang's wang, Jessica Knappett's quirky enthusiasm, all of them are absolutely fantastic. They play off each other extremely well.
I know I’m gonna annoy some people but series 7 with James Acaster is what got me into this show so I’m excited it’s finally being uploaded

This crew honestly just escalates their shenanigans. Watching Rhod break Greg and James ine episode at a time is excellent.
I love that this show has introduced me to SO MANY UK comedians I didn't know I adored
I got disproportionately hyped when Rhod went for the measure, that was EXACTLY how I had it in my head to do that challenge.

The most egregious part of the whole thing is that the mean bean measurement line is all sorts of skewed and with gaps between beans. 2nd last place, he was cheated!
This whole cast was amazing. There wasn't a single weak link in this season which is why I think it's the best season from start to finish.

This is the first time I've fallen in love with a cast on the first episode of the series
The rules specifically said a "complete" box -- when is a box "complete" when you are packing and moving? When it is taped, shut, closed! When you think of a "box" shape do you think of a cube with four flaps up? Alex even mimed closing all sides, top and bottom, when repeating the instructions. Phil got screwed there 😤.

Complete box and complete moving box are two separate things. Also, a moving box wouldn't be complete if it was empty and taped shut! I don't really have a strong stance, I just want to fight over cardboard box towers.

Casey Martin honestly? I’m not sure. Outside the US/Canada will _probably_ see them? from what i can tell they just sold the rights for broadcast in the US. So I would say don’t worry about it if you aren’t in North America. But if you are a yank, i guess it depends on if CW is planning on keeping series 8 and 9 for streaming themselves. I’m honestly just planning on waiting for 10 weeks and seeing what the situation is lol. Either it works itself out or we’ll find a way around it

Casey Martin glad to be of service! I share many of the same sentiments as you. I got into the show during a hard time at college and it’s been really helpful both then and now to just have something funny and light hearted to look forward every week. Even if taskmaster uploads are a bit up in the air in North America, there’s still a ton of British panel shows that still get uploaded to KZread. Cats does Countdown is great to see comedians fail at math and spelling (Alex shows up on occasion with his band the Horne Section to do their stand up material) Big fat quiz is always fun to see them play a pub quiz for 2 hours. I think russell Howard has a ton of full episodes of his show uploaded to his channel too. Overall I’m not gonna stress too much over it all, there’s still plenty of content. And as I said before, not even broadcast right ownership will stop us from watching our shows. We always find a way haha
The moment at 31:27 when Phil's Wang is perfectly lined up with the can is something I can never unsee and is an image that will haunt me until I die.

i get so attached and comfortable to the comedians in every season that i feel so weird when i start a new season
Me during the baked bean task: do they even know math the answer is none because circumference is relating to circles Me five minutes later: I'm realizing why I shouldn't be on this show
The way rhod watches alex walk up the stairs without any pants, kills me every time
this show is literally perfect for james' antics lmao
