Taskmaster

Taskmasterclass, Episode 2 - Education For All

Greg Davies and his servile assistant Little Alex Horne narrate the show that seeks to answer some of the most burning questions about Taskmaster. In this episode, Greg patiently explains to Alex how Taskmaster is in fact a vast educational curriculum designed to help comedians better themselves. Featuring Bob Mortimer's unforgettable beach graph, Sophie Duker's unusual impersonation of a dinosaur, and an avant-garde masterpiece from Sally Phillips. As usual, Alex provides some fairly interesting bonus facts and stats to help illustrate the discussion.
