Alternate Titles

    Taskmaster Intro

    It's 8pm on Friday, and what could be more apt than to watch a handful of adult humans solve tricky - but slightly silly - tasks together against the clock?

    Assistant Intro

    And speaking of trying to keep your dignity, or even having any at all, here's David Sundin.

    Notes on discrepancies

    • The scoreboard updates align with the points observed to be awarded in this episode up until the scoreboard show after the sixth task.
    • The differences in the points at that stage appear to suggest that there was an additional, unaired task which took place between the fourth and sixth tasks.
    • Fortunately the discrepancies did not affect who was named as the winner of the episode or the series.

    Aired tasks

    Unaired competition tasks shown in the bonus episode

    The following tasks were included in the studio session for this episode, and points awarded were counted towards the contestants's totals, but they did not make the broadcast edit of the episode. However, they were later shown in the bonus episode, at the end of the season.
