[ID: Eight screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett asks Kumail Nanjiani, "How would you suggest that I do your voice?" He, Kumail and Amy Gledhill are sitting at a table looking at a laptop. Kumail says, "I mean, just try and do like, a Pakistani guy. What could go wrong? So what would... How would that go?" Joel replies with a grin, "Well, now you've given me... You've given me the go-ahead." Kumail says, "Yes, I've given you the go-ahead." From off-screen, Alex Horne says, "We might not show him giving you the go-ahead." As Joel and Amy laugh, Kumail says, "In fact, I insist that you don't." End ID.]

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster. Kumail Nanjiani sits at a table with a remote control in each hand. Holding one up, he asks, "Is it a mistake that this one doesn't have batteries?"

[ID: Eight screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett reaches up one finger to burst a floating bubble, then looks around open-mouthed and ecstatically happy. Later, in the studio, Greg Davies says, "I'm just enchanted, watching Joel do anything, really, because he throws himself into it with such glee. And then every now and again, I just go, 'Oh, my God, he's 40!'" Joel says cheerfully, "Yeah. Mad, isn't it? I pay a mortgage." End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci is in a living room, next to a blender on a table. He says, "Right. If I turn that on..." On the other side of the room is a CRT TV.

End ID.]

[ID: Seven screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci says, "It's a Braille menu to an Indian restaurant." The studio screen shows the menu in question. Greg Davies says, "And of course, the great thing is, if I score that badly, I will alienate the visually-impaired community." Armando replies, "Exactly." Greg says, "So, it's... It may not be funny, but it's very clever." End ID.]

[ID: Nine screencaps from Taskmaster. Amy Gledhill says, "Can I just ask what hirsute means?" Greg Davies replies, "Hairy." Amy says brightly, "Hairy! OK, that's all right." Alex Horne asks, "What did you think it might have meant?" Looking thoughtful, Amy says, "More... I'm trying to think of a better word for open. But hairy's fine. That's good." Greg says, "You thought that Alex wanted ladies to be a little more dilated?" Amy leans forward in her seat, laughing. End ID.]

[ID: Six screencaps from Taskmaster. Alex Horne announces to the camera, "And I want to say hello to all my people watching at home. I see you and you see me, and you like puzzles.

[ID: Ten screencaps from Taskmaster. Kumail Nanjiani announces to the camera, "Well, I'm about to do something that's the bravest thing I've ever done."

He can look at whatever he wants, he can go wherever he wants. I'm genuinely shaking." He holds out his hand as proof. Alex asks, "And you haven't deleted your history?" Kumail replies, "I swear I have not deleted anything." Frowning at the screen, Alex says, "Why not?" End ID.]

[ID: Eleven screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci says, "And I've always hated it... Always hated it when, like, at weddings, when somebody goes, 'Come on and do a dance! Come on!' And I go, 'No, I hate da...' 'No, come on!' And I resolved when I hit 60, which I did last year, that if that happens again, I will just tell them not to touch me, and I will phone the police. Any wedding I'm at and I'm asked to dance, I'm just going to say, to the bride's mother, 'Fuck off.'" End ID.]

And you took a bucket in the face?" Holding up his hands, Alex says, "Yeah, she did tell me to do that, but I'm slightly ashamed that I was smiling while doing it. I'm so sorry." End ID.]

[ID: Six screencaps from Taskmaster. Joanna Page says earnestly, "The thing is, being brave isn't about always succeeding. Being brave is about having a go, and there's nothing wrong with failing."
