Greg Davies returns with series six of Taskmaster. Still resolutely attached to Greg's apron strings is Alex Horne, and he'll provide key stats and analysis as five fresh new faces - Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Russell Howard and Tim Vine - tackle the Taskmaster's weird whims. Like an Oscar, but better and without the body, Greg's skull o'gold is the trophy these competitors are hoping to win, but first they must negotiate a bewildering basket of assignments that can and will inspire both breath-taking brilliance and rank incompetence.

  • Tim - 33 skittles (1 point) note  two items in the first section
  • Liza (Disqualified) note  failed to extinguish the candle
  • Asim - wrote the Taskmaster a rap
  • Liza - made the Taskmaster a cake and then had the Taskmaster's Assistant sit in it, bare-bottomed
  • Tim - dressed as the Taskmaster's mother and delivered a message of love from her on behalf of himself (3 points)

  • Liza and Russell (0 points)
  • Winner: Asim Chaudhry (22 points)
  • Tim Vine (13 points)
  • Liza Tarbuck (10 points)

     Episode Tally 

  • Russell Howard = 3 episodes (Episodes 4, 7 and 8)
  • Alice (Episodes 1 and 9)
  • Liza (Episodes 2 and 3)
  • Tim (Episodes 5 and 6)
  • Asim Chaudhry - 1 episode (Episode 10)

This series marks the second time that every contestant has won at least one episode.

     Task Tally  A breakdown of the tasks as won by the contestants is as follows:

  • Liza Tarbuck: 19 tasks (1 prize task, 12 video tasks [1 joint with everyone else, 1 joint with Russell and Tim, 1 joint with Asim], 4 video team tasks [1 joint with the other team], 2 live tasks)
  • Russell Howard: 16 tasks (2 prize tasks, 6 video tasks [1 joint with everyone else, 1 joint with Liza and Tim], 4 video team tasks [1 joint with the other team], 3 live tasks, 1 tiebreaker)
  • Tim Vine: 14 tasks + 1 trick task (5 prize tasks, 5 video tasks [1 joint with everyone else, 1 joint with Liza and Russell], 1 trick task, 4 video team tasks [1 joint with the other team])
  • Asim Chaudhry: 14 tasks (2 prize tasks, 7 video tasks [1 joint with everyone else, 1 joint with Liza], 4 video team tasks [1 joint with the other team], 1 live task)
  • Alice Levine: 13 tasks (5 video tasks [1 joint with everyone else], 4 video team tasks [1 joint with the other team], 3 live tasks, 1 tiebreaker)

There was one live task for which nobody received any points (though not through disqualification). This was the first such outcome in the show.

This series marked both the first time everyone jointly won an individual video task and the first time both teams were joint winners of a team task.

     Episode Titles  Each episode is a Title Drop made by either a participant in the show, the Taskmaster, or the Taskmaster's Assistant. In this series, the titles were provided by:

  • Episode 1: The Taskmaster (in response to Alice Levine's claim that she had mistaken a banana for a padlock during the "remove the required items with your feet only" live task" "Ah yes, the old soft curved padlock.")
  • Episode 2: Liza Tarbuck (an item she suggested that her team locate to help during the "keep the Taskmaster's Assistant as dry as possible" task which, following puzzled questioning from the Taskmaster and her fellow contestants, she admitted she had apparently just made up in the heat of the moment, presumably meaning just tarpaulin: "Binbags or tarpeters!")
  • Episode 3: The Taskmaster's Assistant quoting Asim Chaudhry (Asim located the item in question while inspecting some of the Taskmaster-brand baby food during the "guess the ingredients of the baby food" task: "One warm prawn, he said."
  • Episode 4: Liza Tarbuck (shouted while riding a bike during the "have as most fun as possible" task: "BMXing! That's fun!")
  • Episode 5: Asim Chaudhry (during the "find the link between these clues then do it 100 times" task — while technically every contestant uttered the letter 'H' at some point, Asim particularly got fixated upon it and kept repeating it as if trying to force an epiphany upon himself: "H...! H...!"
  • Episode 6: Tim Vine (part of his backstory for the "make the best parachute for this wooden spoon" task, wherein the spoon and he were apparently wartime comrades but not incredibly close: "Well, we met at mealtimes, but...")
  • Episode 7: Alice Levine (her description of one of the items within the box during the "draw a picture of what's in this box without looking inside" task: "There's a thing that feels like roadkill doused in syrup.")
  • Episode 8: Liza Tarbuck (on being asked whether the Taskmaster's Assistant will be able to locate any pictures of her wearing purple, which she has claimed in the "find the most things in common with this person" task to be her favourite colour: "What kind of pictures?")
  • Episode 9: The Taskmaster's Assistant (introducing Asim Chaudhry and Tim Vine's attempt to produce the largest bubble and burst it with their nose: "We're gonna start with the Bubble Brothers — that's what we call them, Asim and Tim, the Bubble Brothers.")
  • Episode 10: Liza Tarbuck (discussing her decision to complete the "tell the Taskmaster you love him in the most meaningful way" task by making his assistant sit bare-bottomed in a cake: "I felt so dirty! He was a different man! You were different, weren't you? [...] He really really was!")

This is the first series in which all but one of the contestants provided an episode title.

Series Ranking

  • Winner: Liza Tarbuck (181 points)

  • Asim Chaudhry (159 points)

The Cleaner

If Greg Davies was running TV, new comedy shows would get a two-season order.

The comedian and writer, who fronts fronts the hit series Taskmaster in the UK and writes and stars in sitcom The Cleaner for the BBC , was asked what he would change about the business during a the closing session of the Berlinale Series Market , and responded he would like to see new comedies given more time to hit their stride, adding that all-time classics such as Seinfeld needed multiple seasons to establish themselves.

Davies’ notes were delivered with a characteristic dose of humor, but his point about giving comedy time to grow struck a chord. An industry audience gave his call for double-season orders for comedy a spontaneous round of applause.

“The amount of classic comedies that only found themselves in season two [is significant], he said. “If you go to America, and you look at Seinfeld , one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, it wasn’t until season four that people realized how great that was. That is what I would change: It should be a mandatory two seasons.”

During the conversation, which was hosted by Deadline’s Jesse Whittock, Davies said he is currently working on the scripts for season three of The Cleaner . He adapted the German show for UK audiences and also stars in the popular series, which is on the BBC.

The Studio Hamburg UK comedy follows a crime scene cleaner, who interacts with a single character in each episode, similar to the radio chamber plays from many years back in the UK. It has featured an array of guest stars including Helena Bonham Carter, Asim Chaudry and Alex Lawther among many others. Davies said he started off writing episodes of The Cleaner with a specific guest star in mind, but has changed his approach.

“I would write thinking of a certain star and then if they said ‘No,’ or if they were too busy would be horribly disappointed,” he said. “Less and less we’re thinking of specific people now. We’re just writing the character and hoping someone good comes to it afterwards.”
