The 15th series kicks off with Alex Horne unveiling the new snack that's set to take the convenience food world by storm. Frankie Boyle plays with some string. And everyone throws a toilet roll.
Alex Horne splits his band five ways for the sake of a task, leading Jenny Eclair to impart her wisdom about piles. Meanwhile, Frankie Boyle has some strong opinions about golf.
Things are getting heated between this year’s noble competitors as they bid to impress the Taskmaster. Can they keep it together for the all-important sausage exam?
Kiell Smith-Bynoe finds himself playing bingo without any shoes on. And all the comedians create boats to carry eggs in a race involving eggs (in boats).
Frankie Boyle impresses with his falsetto. Kiell Smith-Bynoe wows everyone with his spoon retrieval abilities. And Mae Martin fakes their way into Alex Horne’s wallet.
It's episode six, and you know what that means? That's right, it's time to meet everyone's imaginary friends in a domestic and poignant setting. And nobody understands a simple egg-shelling task.
Greg and Alex take things up a notch by introducing a pulper to proceedings. Jelly babies cause friction. And Mae Martin and Ivo Graham say the word 'duck' a lot.
The comics retrieve pineapples from a pond and inventively repurpose umbrellas. And in a fitting climax, Frankie Boyle goes to town on a gigantic cat scratching post.
In the penultimate episode, the pressure is so intense that Mae Martin forgets the only rule to a task. Expect paint, stomping and sneaky prizes in this sort-of semi-final.
It's the grand final, and the competitors' mettle is tested in the most dramatic gladiatorial arena of all as they all contemplate using a hose. Things just got serious.

We're halfway through the series, and the comics just want to leave with a bit of dignity intact. Which isn't likely as Lucy Beaumont plays with some toilet roll.
Julian Clary gets on his hands and knees. Sue Perkins makes an extraordinary noise. Lucy Beaumont creeps everyone out. And Sam Campbell identifies some colourful birds.
Does Julian Clary need more than one pie? Should Lucy Beaumont flick a forbidden switch? Is a deer head preferable to a boundary line? Plus: Sam Campbell rips off his own head.
Excitement reaches volcanic proportions as the mystery of the secret task is finally revealed to the baffled cast of comics. And who will get to wear the Special Hat?
Julian Clary makes smart use of a fishing rod, Sue Perkins reimagines Botticelli, Sam Campbell collects some coins and Lucy Beaumont asks Alex Horne to sit on a sled.
Just Alex gaslighting Sam Campbell

Nick Mohammed sheathes a water bottle with a sock, Sophie Willan attempts to take flight, and John Robins puts his faith in honey, as Taskmaster Greg Davies sits in judgement.
Will Steve Pemberton's no-vowels gamble pay off? What does Nick Mohammed think is going to happen to those eggs? And, most intriguingly, why is Joanne McNally sniffing Little Alex Horne's beard?
All five contestants are forced to wrangle wild animals, with unpleasant results for Steve Pemberton and Sophie Willan. Plus: pickled onions, and a controversial cardboard tube.

As the bonce-battle intensifies, Steve Pemberton delivers a timely message of peace. Meanwhile, Joanne McNally invents a catchphrase, and John Robins gets creative with beans.
Sophie Willan shouts the name of a body part in Alex Horne's flustered face. John Robins demonstrates the power of his forearms. And can Joanne McNally act out the word 'beer'?
Greg Davies has witnessed many bizarre moments during his time as the Taskmaster, but this episode ups the ante - from oars for arms to a beatboxing wolf. And why won't Nick Mohammed stop winking?!
Little Alex Horne risks raising Greg Davies' hackles with a task in celebration of himself. Steve Pemberton has an expletive-laden row with a bin. Plus: a novel use for a cow's ear.

"It's either gripping journalism or weird looping machine," we said. Find out which Alex Horne chose in this interview with Series 18 contestant Jack Dee.
Series 18 contestant Rosie Jones is confused. Alex Horne is confused. But it's not that confusing really, it's just an interview…
Andy Zaltzman, Babátúndé Aléshé, Emma Sidi, Jack Dee and Rosie Jones search for a seal, hurl yoga balls in a theme park, and force-feed Little Alex Horne a bowlful of bubblegum.
Jack Dee has a dramatic wardrobe change, Rosie Jones presents her new baby, and Emma Sidi's got Tamzin Outhwaite on the brain. Plus: multi-headed beasts, and a very dull ghost.
Babátúndé Aléshé almost certainly knows what a rocket is, Emma Sidi swears loudly and Jack Dee's a dead ringer for a famous artist. Greg Davies awards points (some), praise (little) and pity (plenty).
It's our first clump of outtakes from Series 18! Including an extended version of the live task from episode 2. Enjoy responsibly.
Andy Zaltzman takes a carrot-based risk. Emma Sidi performs some cartwheel tricks. Rosie Jones menaces a member of the crew. Alex Horne rings a bell (or two!)
Only Emma Sidi has yet to win an episode. Is this her time? Meanwhile, Greg Davies gags after opening a big jar, Andy Zaltzman makes a robot sing and a newly blond Jack Dee discusses hedgehogs.
Alex Horne shows off his prowess with a pair of pliers, Jack Dee adopts a charismatic New York accent, Emma Sidi enjoys a Taskmaster tipple, and Babátúndé Aléshé makes a lovely little otter.
Father Outtake is back with another sack full of moments that didn't make the full episodes of Series 18. Open them nicely!

Andy Zaltzman deliberately dirties Alex Horne's trousers, Emma Sidi reveals a startling belief about socks, Jack Dee does some energetic air cycling, and Babátúndé Aléshé resorts to phoning a friend.
As the competition goes down to the wire, Jack Dee makes a series of tense phone calls, while Rosie Jones smears brown stuff on a plate. And can Andy Zaltzman shoehorn cricket into yet another task?!
Our five weary contestants compete one last time, in a grand final featuring tiny chairs, giant eggs and a honking Alex Horne. But at the end of it all, who'll lift the legendary Taskmaster trophy?
The Taskmaster sent Alex on a trip to the Mad Squirrel brewery to design some beers for Taskmaster: The Live Experience, and everyone survived!

Fatiha El-Ghorri has concerns about aggressive waterfowl, while Rosie Ramsey goes flying, but it's Mathew Baynton crawling through a corridor that causes the biggest commotion.

It's the penultimate episode of the series, and Patatas the cat is back! Fatiha El-Ghorri knocks down an egg-shaped Alex Horne. And who's the master of multi-tasking?

Efficient assistant Alex Horne administers tasks involving codes, gym balls and disgusting noises as Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith and Sanjeev Bhaskar kick off their quest.
Sanjeev Bhaskar rotates around a hill of flour, Maisie Adam's mouth pokes through the Taskmaster's nose, and Little Alex Horne introduces Little Little Alex Horne to the world.
Ania Magliano doesn't know the difference between snakes and worms, Maisie Adam relies heavily on the lyrics to Mambo No 5, and Reece Shearsmith gets irrationally angry in a game of chance.
Maisie Adam and Phil Ellis are repulsed by olives. Reece Shearsmith's mystified by a voice note. And Alex Horne regrets giving Ania Magliano access to his phone...
Maisie Adam sees red, Phil Ellis strips to his base layer and Reece Shearsmith destroys a valuable Taskmaster treasure. Greg Davies maintains order, with stern authority in good measure.

Ania Magliano spews up some blue jelly, Sanjeev Bhaskar requests a comfort break and Maisie Adam squawks like an exotic bird, while Alex Horne gets to wear an important hat!

The normally infallible Alex Horne makes a rare, condiment-based error for which he will no doubt be punished by the seething Taskmaster. And Joanna Page smashes up a sheep.

The end is nigh, and four contestants are still in the race to become champion... while Joel Dommett's just having a good time! Alex Horne slaps Armando Iannucci with a flip-flop.
Amy Gledhill tears her hair out, Joel Dommett sniffs the contents of a vacuum and Kumail Nanjiani trims a cat. Once the dust, lint and fur have settled, our champion is crowned.
