Welcome to TASKMASTER

Sarah Millican flails about with a frying pan, Munya Chawawa pulls off a brilliant billiards shot, and all five comics spend far too long searching for a bath, given the size of the bath...

Sarah Millican gets her hands in some cottage pie, Fern Brady becomes Brandy Alexander, Munya Chawawa demonstrates a mastery of martial arts, and John Kearns survives an operation.

Can Fern Brady fly? Is Sarah Millican fireproof? And why would the notoriously brutal Taskmaster treat the entire gang to a tasty dessert? All these questions and more will be answered...

Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne return to wreak havoc on the lives of comics Dara Ó Briain, Fern Brady, John Kearns, Munya Chawawa and Sarah Millican, who fumble frozen peas and shout about fish.

The race for glory heats up as we reach the business end of the series. Bridget Christie researches Welsh royalty, and Judi Love pokes a shoe under a shower curtain.

Chris Ramsey draws the line at dried spaghetti, the comics are shaken and stirred by a big tube, and Judi Love 'impresses' the Taskmaster with her life achievements

The comics are baffled by high fives and a fish tank. Bridget Christie has a present for the Taskmaster, and Sophie Duker covers some keys in saliva.

Emotions run high as Bridget Christie shoves a cuddly toy inside a traffic cone. Sophie Duker does a strange dinosaur impression. Plus: robots, and an impressive hose!

Ardal O'Hanlon, Bridget Christie, Chris Ramsey, Judi Love and Sophie Duker enter Greg Davies' lair to begin a bitter battle for glory. Alex Horne invigilates while trying to avoid a barrage of fruit.

Greg can barely conceal his contempt as he witnesses Alan yawning at a friend, Victoria throwing paint and his sidekick Alex Horne blowing cold air down Desiree's neck via a long tube.

This time, Alex Horne lends his considerable acting skills to a promotional film, while Morgana Robinson passes a pole through a sponge, and Victoria Coren Mitchell tries to come to terms with a swanee whistle.

It's the 100th episode of Taskmaster. Greg Davies, Alex Horne and their merry band of comics celebrate the only way they know how: with tasks involving cling film and flapjacks!

The perfect Taskmaster contestant should be as versatile as an egg, able to turn their hand to anything from construction to choreography. This is the contestant that Greg Davies dreams of, yet instead, in this episode, he gets Victoria Coren Mitchell drawing an exploding cat, Alan Davies hurting himself with a rubber band and Desiree Burch doing something inexplicable when faced with sand. Alex Horne provides statistical analysis.

Greg and Alex welcome Alan Davies, Desiree Burch, Guz Khan, Morgana Robinson and Victoria Coren Mitchell with tasks featuring creepers, catapults and one (fake) cactus.

The penultimate episode sees everyone all still in with a chance of winning Greg Davies's splendid gilded head.

There are fires and alarms in this episode, though not at the same time, as Taskmaster Greg Davies grades the five courageous comics on their task-completion skills. Little Alex Horne is forced into supping cold soup, Lee Mack destroys a vole and Sarah Kendall invents a sweet dressing for an unusual salad. Also, Charlotte Ritchie provides sound effects for a set of Russian dolls.

Lee Mack raises serious questions around the use of cling film, Charlotte Ritchie anoints an insect, and Jamali Maddix nearly chokes on a many-sided dessert.

Lee Mack takes on an audacious hammer throw, Sarah Kendall makes sitting down memorable and Jamali Maddix forgets his passport.

As ever, Greg Davies will be perched on his regal throne as the Taskmaster, while the doting Little Alex Horne scuttles about his master’s feet generating stats, measurements, and generally irritating his keeper, as these task titans compete in the ultimate quest for victory.

Daisy May Cooper, Johnny Vegas, Katherine Parkinson, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring take on the penultimate selection of ludicrous challenges.

Mawaan Rizwan is not at all fazed when faced with a task involving office chairs, chickens and remote control cars, although the same cannot be said of his rivals. Daisy May Cooper tries to decipher mysterious messages from Richard Herring, and Katherine Parkinson is baffled by a giant marble.

The competing comics demonstrate their love of watermelon and Johnny tries to win points by grabbing a passing cyclist and introducing him to some Christmas-related equipment.

The quest to take ownership of presenter Greg Davies golden head continues, under the beady eye of Little Alex Horne.

Hoping to impress the Taskmaster and be crowned the next champion are: Daisy May Cooper, Johnny Vegas, Katherine Parkinson, Mawaan Rizwan and Richard Herring. Wax seals will open, dreams will be made and/or broken, and Little Alex Horne will be wrapped around his master's little finger providing stats and moral support in the most ridiculous and ferociously fought game show on television.

The five comics go undercover as they try to impress Greg Davies with their attempts at high-level espionage. Results, involving a white van, a newspaper and a paper cup, are mixed.

Why is David Baddiel steering heavy machinery towards a representation of his childhood sweetheart? Why is Jo Brand destroying a large slab of confectionery? And why is Rose Matafeo curling up into a foetal position?

It's the series finale and Greg Davies needs several questions answered before awarding the winner with the Taskmaster trophy... Who has the most handsome relative? How much money is Al Murray willing to spend to win? And why is Rob Beckett in such a strop with a melon, some frozen peas and a bag of flour?

Greg Davies's onslaught of tasks don't get any easier. When Al Murray is confronted with an eggcup he goes to extreme lengths to maximise his point potential and Sara Pascoe takes a simple loaf of bread, a few balloons and swiftly becomes one of the greatest sporting minds of our time.
