List #97: Ranking Taskmaster Cohorts, Ultimate Countdown! (Part 2 of 3)


During this pandemic, I've seen lots of people discover the UK delight Taskmaster, brainchild of Alex Horne. As someone who, over the course of the past four years, has steadily made her way through every available iteration and offshoot (you realize most of these people have podcasts, right?), I say, "Welcome!"

See also: Rec. #696, Rec. #731, List #71, Rec. #858, Rec. #873, List #95


Many casts have now had the absurd and joyful Taskmaster experience, and I have thoughts on all of them.

Let's count down! See Part 1 here and Part 3 here.


9. Series Two: Doc Brown, Joe Wilkinson, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan, Richard Osman

Several instant-classic moments in this one: impress a mayor, Lord Greg Davies, the potato golf heartbreak ...


8. Series Eight: Iain Stirling, Joe Thomas, Lou Sanders, Paul Sinha, Sian Gibson

Lou Sanders was made for this show.


7. Champion of Champions (aired between Series Five and Six): Bob Mortimer, Josh Widdicombe, Katherine Ryan, Noel Fielding, Rob Beckett

Highlight from this two-parter: Katherine makes a mess in episode 2


6. Series One: Frank Sinner, Josh Widdicombe, Roisin Conaty, Romesh Ranganathan, Tim Key


The very first series/season! A very strong start!
