Greg Davies returns as the Taskmaster as five new comedic competitors tackle a raft of tricky tasks with today’s episode including a potato-throwing moment set to make television and sporting history.

Nursery rhyme music videos are the flavour of episode two and viewer discretion is advised for Jon Richardson’s disturbing take on Three Blind Mice. Plus find out why Doc Brown isn’t an egg man.

In one of the most difficult challenges of the competition so far the rivals find themselves confronted with an intimidating man in gold chains in episode three, the Mayor of Chesham. Their task? To impress this apathetic authority figure.

In the penultimate episode, the five take on more tasks to win a combination of points and respect from Greg Davies. As well as pet rescue and pineapple concealment, there’s a unique experiment carried out on one of the unsuspecting contestants.

In the final episode Taskmaster Greg Davies finally gets to present his glorious trophy to the overall champion. But before that triumphant moment, there's still time for more ridiculous task attempts, including Richard Osman doing something appalling with a shopping trolley.
