The Natural Friends
Comedian Julian Clary, actress writer and stand-up Lucy Beaumont, award-winning stand-up Sam Campbell, writer and comedian Sue Perkins and actress, writer and director Susan Wokoma battle to win an elaborate joust to become the 16th Taskmaster champion. As usual, Alex Horne helps maintain order amid the chaos, though falls foul of Taskmaster Greg Davies at one point because of peas. Elsewhere, Lucy marvels at a canned blindfold and everyone tries to put a big duck in a lake.
