Bring Me The Head Of The Taskmaster: 101 next-level tasks (and clues) that will lead one ordinary person to some extraordinary Taskmaster treasure

Product Information

Alex Horne, the show’s creator, said: “I've watched many, many comedians flounder when given simple instructions over the past few years and I fully expect the competitors in Junior Taskmaster to be both more competent and just as funny. For that series, I will be handing over my assistant's clipboard to someone equally as efficient and persistent as myself because I have a lot more admin to do with six further handfuls of supposedly talented adults. I live for bureaucracy so this is all excellent news”. The original Taskmaster programme has been sold to 94 countries and aired on The CW in the U.S. in 2020. Taskmaster is a BAFTA winning and International Emmy nominated comedy entertainment show originally created by Alex Horne. Greg Davies stars as the all-powerful “Taskmaster” who, with the help of his loyal assistant Horne, sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five comedians through a series of strange and surreal challenges in what is the most hard-fought and ridiculous comedy entertainment format on TV. Next, the taskers were asked to fill up a glass of water from the furthest distance. It was Mae who got those sweet five points again by creating a complex system of pipes taped together, with Jenny coming a close second. Dara won this final challenge and episode, also leading the season with 184 points. It was a close call with Sarah, who was short of just ten points at 174. Munya ended up earning 150 points, while Fern and John made Taskmaster history with a joint fourth place, finishing off with 144 points each.

While Sarah had to be very careful when throwing her scissors and Fern patiently used felt-tip pens to move potatoes without touching them, Dara rather enjoyed throwing one of his pints of Irish cider over to the caravan. He also had the biggest advantage as his human pal could move around the garden freely, hiding the other pint in his work coverall and allowing him to complete the task in under one minute.Thankfully, there will be a shedload of tasks along the way to distract you. There are tasks to do on your own, tasks to do with your family and friends, and tasks for bigger groups too. Some of these distractions may slow you down, but some may help you get where you need to be. As always, enjoy the tasks, do your best, make good choices." A new Taskmaster book - Bring Me The Head Of The Taskmaster: 101 Next Level Tasks - is to be published in September 2021. The book is explained as follows: " Bring Me The Head Of The Taskmaster contains 101 next level tasks (and clues) that will lead one ordinary person to some extraordinary Taskmaster treasure, offering readers the full Taskmaster experience. Part game, part treasure hunt, this painstakingly plotted, carefully crafted collection of preposterous tasks is a fully interactive guide to indulging your competitive streak.

While Taskmaster Australia launches on 2nd February 2023 on Channel 10, produced by Avalon Television with Kevin&Co and featuring Tom Gleeson as the Taskmaster with Tom Cashman as the Taskmaster’s Assistant, and Taskmaster New Zealand has received funding for a fourth season from New Zealand On Air to play on TVNZ and TVNZ+ in 2023. The first season of Le Maitre du Jeu for Bell Media, which aired in Canada in September 2022, increased Noovo's performance in the Thursday time slot by 50%. For the finale's third challenge, the contenders had to play copycat chess, replicating Alex's every move in the exact same time as him. The group task saw two teams composing a specific lullaby for a profession of their choice, with Mae, Jenny and Kiell penning a soothing one for a watercolourist and Ivo and Frankie coming up with an inappropriate one for a dog walker.

Greg Davies, the original Taskmaster, said: “My long-term contempt for young people is a matter of record but other people here at Taskmaster HQ seem convinced that they have merit. I am thrilled that two new team members are putting this questionable hypothesis to the test and will take on the challenge of corralling and assessing them on television. I will be watching closely to ensure standards are met. I am also delighted that Alex and I return to test the intelligence of comedians in the most scientific of ways. I’ll be pretty angry. It’s not even an act anymore.” You are competing against everyone else who is reading this book. All you've got to do is find The Taskmaster's Head first. This is a race with many twists and turns, that requires very little running, much sideways thinking and quite a lot of patience.

Initially asked to name three random items of their choice, the contestants had to work with those objects (and, in Dara's case, an Irishman too) for their final task.This is a race with many twists and turns, that requires very little running, much sideways thinking, and quite a lot of patience. The challenge involved throwing one of the items over to the caravan and completely covering another with the third item and placing the covered item on a barrel without touching it.
