Taskmaster Rewatch: Series 3
Review of series : 1 & 2
We have our first little Alex Horne but it's still not a staple. The art department's budget is still small given that the house theme is still pretty subtle and there's no caravan still. I knew the buy Greg a gift had happened multiple times despite peaking with the series 1 tattoo but I didn't realize it continued past 2. The prize tasks have started to get a little funky and whimsical which is nice!
In contrast to season 2 I was surprised at how much I actually remembered once I started watching. Al Murphy spending a lot of money is of course very memorable but in my head it was more spent bribing Alex when I think most of it was actually spent on cab fairs, still crazy though. Underreported is Rob Beckett claiming insanity due to baby fatigue and Dave Gorman's blatant cheating and denial of it even when comforted with footage.
Again the lack of episodes is kind of a disservice to the cast dynamic but I am a pretty big fan of Sarah Pasco so I do think that helps lift my enjoyment of the whole cast. They are also somehow both aggressive and positive towards each other. Here's how I would sort them as defined by this post
Rating 6/10 better than 2 not as good as 1, but am worried I didn't pick the best scale cause there is no such thing as bad Taskmaster season so there isn't a lot of wiggle room. Also I really rate on vibes only so that's not consistent.
See Britain's most-loved comedians as you've never seen them before!
See Britain's most-loved comedians as you've never seen them before!By Joe Anderton Published: 24 July 2025 Previously confirmed participants include James Acaster, Phil Wang, Aisling Bea, Ed Gamble, Rosie Jones, Nish Kumar, Max & Ivan, Maisie Adam, Abi Clarke, Olga Koch, Matthew Crosby, Jazz Emu and Flo & Joan - and now Rose Matafeo and Kiell Smith-Bynoe will also be entering the ring. Sara Pascoe will be joining Nish and Greg Davies to provide commentary, while Joe Lycett has been announced as CEO of the company (following a drunk purchase) which gives him the power to alter the rules as he likes on the night. In addition to the previously announced grudge match between Phil and Ed, Maisie will be taking on professional wrestler Nina Samuels, while James will be taking on... well, it could be anyone. The Hypothetical host has laid down the 'James Acaster Open Challenge', in which he vows to take "on absolutely anyone in the world of comedy or wrestling", while making "the greatest entrance you've ever seen".
Meanwhile, Taskmaster recently wrapped up its 19th season, and has already revealed the line-up for season 20 that's set to air later this year. Clash of the Comics tickets are available to purchase now.
unwittingly went to a tv recording last night! i swear blind they didn't make it clear on any of the booking or pre-show info that it'd be filmed for broadcast and we might be in shot, so in the spirit of mutual respect i'm going to fully ignore any hope they might have for us to not share spoilers :P
it was "clash of the comics", which was a transfer of the cult edinburgh show "the wrestling" to the apollo (yes that apollo), which it became apparent from context was being filmed for comic relief! "the wrestling" is a nonsense genius idea where max & ivan (two comedians with wrestling backgrounds) invite various comedian friends to learn vaguely how to do wrestling and then come and do comedically-choreographed bouts with actual pro wrestlers, so, y'know, lots of potential :P
ivo graham was the mc; it was meant to be adam hills but he had explosive diarrhoea, so they called ivo at 4pm and he sprinted down and borrowed a tux, which turned out to have a small rip in the trousers, and so he swapped underwear with one of the producers whose boxers were somewhat less visibly bright orange :P
maisie adam was the comedian in the first head-to-head bout, done up boudicca-style as The Queen of the North, all stony-faced swagger, and by god i wish she'd bring some of that energy to her tm team interactions :P (she lost, though, so, on brand :P)
big #goals vibes from sarah keyworth taking a weedy-dude role in a lil singlet :333 though it's wild to me that sara pascoe (commentating) could look at them with their lil 'tache and their absence-of-tits out and still come out with "she"
nish kumar (commentating): "max & ivan literally created this event and it's going very badly for them! it's as if they have a humiliation kink!!"
ania magliano was also there! she didn't do much very interesting, but her outfit was fun colours :)
we walked past matthew crosby doing a piece to camera as we entered and boy he is TINY, and then he was a surprise actual competitor too so we got double the weedy-dude for our money :)
phil wang "coming back" for a grudge match against ed gamble (which we had to walk out of halfway through bc they were overrunning horrifically and we were going to miss the last train fml) following a previous bout where he had of course worn his yellow tm jumpsuit, saying "this isn't even my final form", and then coming out in a gold version of the jumpsuit with sleeve fringes :D very The Only Circumstances Under Which Cartoon Characters Change What They Wear vibes :3
and the "main" event being james acaster, doing a continuation of the running gag from "the wrestling"s past where he postures a lot, does a huge dramatic entrance, and then immediately gets knocked out by being hit in the face with a tray! aka can't be bothered to learn to actually wrestle :P
(and on all previous occasions has completely forgotten to do the stagefighting trick that means he doesn't actually get hit in the face with a tray lol)
came in with seven backing dancers doing a rap, my favourite part of which was spelling his name: "A like an aeroplane across the sky! C like a catapult across the sky! A like an acrobat across the sky! S like a spaceship across the sky!" etc
gold robe with "JIMMY CASTURE" written across the butt (fair play, but i preferred his previous wrestling name of "James "James Acaster" Acaster"
under the robe, a pink tracksuit and what appeared to be some weird fucking crotch harness?? i was like that's ooc but here we go???
and i finally twigged the significance of this when he (obviously) got knocked out by being hit in the face with a tray, and the impact sent him TWISTING UP INTO THE AIR on wires like some goddamn she's my man shit!! ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS well done cartoon physics boy :D
the joke being that the posturing song continues to play out while he's hanging upside-down unconscious in the harness, inc. "now everyone has to watch my aerial hoop routine!" with a hoop descending next to him and triumphant captions like "crossback straddle!" "double knee-hang!" exploding across the video screen :P i do not do aerial hoop but i DO do aerial silks and it shares some of the vocabulary (i can do a crossback straddle!!) so that was a fun shoutout :D
ivo to his opponent: "risky move, a lot of people in this arena have a very strong parasocial association with james acaster" me: "[punching the air and yelling into a silence] YEAH!!!"
ivo does not hear me because i'm a million miles away in the circle, but continues "you've just made a lot of very vulnerable enemies"
so! looking forward to seeing that going out, and finally discovering who actually won the grudge match i guess :P you can in fact stream it on catchup if you're outside the uk/ireland! if you see any crowd shots of two folks up in the gods spoiling everyone's vibes by wearing ffp3s and looking disgruntled that their privacy is being invaded, that's us :P
absolutely underrated duo

Joe Wilkinson "killed" Joe Lycett :D
