Taskmaster

By the end of this episode, many curious questions will be answered. Can Alex Horne throw a ball over a house? Why would Munya Chawawa punch a bucket of sand? Does Dara O Briain enjoy the conga? Can Fern Brady fly? Is Sarah Millican fireproof? Why is John Kearns so disliked by his own teammates? And, perhaps most curious of all, why is the notoriously brutal Taskmaster treating the whole gang to a delicious dessert?
