Taskmaster

Guz Khan currently holds a slender lead in this series, but with four episodes to go, any one of our five famed comics could easily walk off with Greg Davies's gorgeous golden head tucked under their arm. 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.
