Review: Taskmaster, series two, episode 1
Taskmaster is great at displaying people's laterial thinking.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 21st June 2016TV review: Taskmaster, Dave
It is no surprise that comedians are ruthlessly competitive. What I didn't realise until Taskmaster came along was how cunning and crafty they can be when he comes to getting one over on their stand-up rivals.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st June 2016Taskmaster Series 2 preview
Fear not, because Dave have absolutely pulled it out the bag yet again and picked a terrific mix of people who are each so different, but unite in stupidity.
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 17th June 2016Taskmaster Series 2 contestants announced
Jon Richardson, Richard Osman, Joe Wilkinson, Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown will be the contestants joining Greg Davies and Alex Horne for Series 2 of Taskmaster.
British Comedy Guide, 11th March 2016Made to look as if it was shot on old film stock, this short has Alex Horne and his band offering their version of a cloying Bing Crosby-style festive special as fake friends holed up in an elegant country home while the snow falls outside.

'Everyday something goes wrong. It's so unpredictable.'
Marissa Burgess, The List, 7th August 2015Taskmaster is the kind of Dave thing that shouldn't quite work but is actually wildly stupid fun. Mainly thanks to Alex Horne, late of so much splendid radio, and Greg Davies, and regulars such as Frank Skinner and Romesh Ranganathan. And eating a watermelon in a minute, and having to paint a horse while riding a horse and other activities that would have been unsuited to, say, Queen Victoria's funeral. A winner.
