Special synopsis
In this single-episode special, presenter Adrian Chiles, presenter Claudia Winkleman, athlete Jonnie Peacock (represented in the studio by comedian Alan Davies), grime artist Lady Leshurr, and politician Sayeeda Warsi compete for Greg's golden eyebrows.
Along the way, they must bring in the most beguiling, unwieldy, shiny thing, daringly put an egg into an eggcup, drink all the vinegar, navigate a course with an extendable pole, and turn a ball into a competitor's head.
This was the first broadcast of Taskmaster produced during the Covid-19 pandemic which did not require the observance of full social distancing measures for the studio recording session, meaning that a live audience was in attendance at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, near London, and that the contestants were able to sit closer to one another again.
Assistant Intro

Special prize
The prize up for grabs in this special is a trophy featuring Greg's golden eyebrows.
Taskmaster's Sign-off
