It was recently announced that the cult hit was moving house to Channel 4. As a result, we were already fairly certain that we were in for a long wait before new series 10 episodes landed on our screens. And now, with much of the TV and film industry halting production and pushing back release dates, it's probably only going to get longer. The difficulty with this is won't they have to be doing them all at the same time? You could definitely do a prize task to bring, but really the games would have be similar to the 'final task' of the shows. The task where the contestants have to make the tallest beermat tower and also ring the doorbell outside once every few seconds.
The task where the contestants have to make the best Christmas cracker, and two separate comedians decide to have actual gravy sloshing about in there. The task where the contestants have to blow out a candle from the longest distance. Russell Howard screams into a drainpipe for five minutes to no effect.
Crying over cracked eggcups
Romesh Ranganathan’s looks like one that has fallen into a meat grinder. This was the very first task that the very first contestants opened on their first day in the Taskmaster house. Having said that, Roisin deserves a little less credit, saying just 48 words in total at a rate of one word every six and a quarter seconds. Tim Key won the task with an impressive 106 and a poem made out of all their best words can be found in this book’s appendix. If you get into triple figures you’re doing all right. In one of the more bizarre challenges seen on Taskmaster, the series two celebs were told to impress the Mayor of Chesham at the time – Peter Hudson.
The appendix has some more exclusive information about the show, as well as some lists of task performances (e.g. each contestant's recipe for Marmite from series 5). Included is one fifth of the texts sent by Mark Watson in series 5, in a bonus task in which he failed to gain a single point. Every task is an opportunity to humiliate yourself and to create something genuinely excellent – to take the cruel and arbitrary limitations you find and make something inspiring. No matter how many times you are knocked down by a malfunctioning volcano or a distressingly loud ice machine, as long as you get back up, there is always the potential for redemption. Everything that looks arduous is a chance for greatness.
Water carrier
To do this task at home, all you'll need is a pen and paper for each player, access to the theme tune and lyrical talent. While in the episode, contestants were given a piano and the option to provide their own accompaniment, this isn't a requirement you need to stick to at home . The book has a foreword by Greg Davies, and then Alex Horne. There are suggestions on how to use the book. Some of the tasks have fun facts beneath them relating to the show.
If everyone did all the tasks well the show wouldn’t work. Forget it and move on to the next one . So read them, yes, in your head or, even better, out loud.
Watermelons
Cooper and Herring turn from reasonable, well-respected comedians into wild, watermelon-obsessed beasts, gorging themselves until their clothes run red with melon blood. The task where contestants have to eat as much watermelon as they can in one minute. Widdicombe carefully opens it and gently spoons it into his mouth ; Ranganathan immediately throws it on to the ground and starts shovelling flesh off the floor into his mouth like a zombie .

Taskmaster is home to many egg-based games – to the point that show bosses could do a special. One of the easiest to recreate at home is to crack an egg, and fill the empty shells with your own sweat or tears. The game show sees guest stars attempt to complete a series of wild, random and downright bizarre challenges, attempting to get Greg’s coveted points. While Mel Giedroyc went down the sweet route, with Crunchies, Nutella, Chocolate Orange and Double Deckers, Noel Fielding enlisted the efforts of Alex to make his exotic sandwich. He tied several pieces of bread to Alex's head before making him perform a strip tease, all while Noel watched through his own hand-made bread peep show. Series six winner Liza Tarbuck took one task to a whole different level during the series' last episode, to the point where Alex found himself sat in cake.
You have 5 minutes to think of your silly walk. Think about nominating a different Taskmaster for each task – why not use Young Leaders if you have them? Everyone should keep playing with new tasks until the meeting ends. Depending on the challenge, everyone could take it in turns to share their results or entries when the time is up.
The task where the contestants have to transfer as much water as possible between two fish bowls without moving them. Noel Fielding sucks up water through a snorkel and nearly drowns. Viewers have seen watermelons multiple times on the Taskmaster stage – but that’s because they’re delicious, which is definitely a change from some food offerings in the past.
Comedian Rob Beckett emerged as the champion of Taskmaster's third series and after watching this clip, it's not hard to see why. Unsurprisingly, hilarity ensued, with Jon Richardson attempting to kick, throw and carry the bouncing balls up the mount, while Joe Wilkinson ends up rolling them up the hill one-by-one. Here's a list of some of the best tasks seen across all 10 series of the show so far. Juice either a grape, banana, lime, coconut or pineapple using either a shoe, tweezers, toothbrush or hammer. If someone picks the same fruit you’re blindfolded. If someone chooses the same tool you can only use one hand.
Lolly Adefope’s “dance” routine involves a moment where she gets hit on the head by Horne, forgives him and tells him that “friendship is truth”. The task where the contestants have to play charades across the River Thames. This one gets in mostly because, within minutes, Sara Pascoe gets distracted by a passing dog. The task where the contestants have to create the best stop-motion movie with a potato.
The task where the contestants have to find out a stranger’s profession but he can’t speak, he can only shake or nod his head incorrectly. Just nice to watch a pleasant old man nod his head at comedians as they silently curse him. The task where the contestants have to eat an egg the fastest. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, Osman shots it like tequila. The task where contestants have to paint a picture of a horse while riding a horse.
