Taskmaster Series 18 (2024)

Andy Zaltzman, Babátúndé Aléshé, Emma Sidi, Jack Dee and Rosie Jones search for a seal, hurl yoga balls in a theme park, and force-feed Little Alex Horne a bowlful of bubblegum.

Jack Dee has a dramatic wardrobe change, Rosie Jones presents her new baby, and Emma Sidi's got Tamzin Outhwaite on the brain. Plus: multi-headed beasts, and a very dull ghost.

Babátúndé Aléshé almost certainly knows what a rocket is, Emma Sidi swears loudly and Jack Dee's a dead ringer for a famous artist. Greg Davies awards points (some), praise (little) and pity (plenty).

Andy Zaltzman takes a carrot-based risk. Emma Sidi performs some cartwheel tricks. Rosie Jones menaces a member of the crew. Alex Horne rings a bell (or two!)

Only Emma Sidi has yet to win an episode. Is this her time? Meanwhile, Greg Davies gags after opening a big jar, Andy Zaltzman makes a robot sing and a newly blond Jack Dee discusses hedgehogs.

Alex Horne shows off his prowess with a pair of pliers, Jack Dee adopts a charismatic New York accent, Emma Sidi enjoys a Taskmaster tipple, and Babátúndé Aléshé makes a lovely little otter.

Rosie Jones feels badly let down by her comedy hero Jack Dee, while Babátúndé Aléshé shouts about a fortune cookie. And Andy Zaltzman predicts the end of the world.

Andy Zaltzman deliberately dirties Alex Horne's trousers, Emma Sidi reveals a startling belief about socks, Jack Dee does some energetic air cycling, and Babátúndé Aléshé resorts to phoning a friend.

As the competition goes down to the wire, Jack Dee makes a series of tense phone calls, while Rosie Jones smears brown stuff on a plate. And can Andy Zaltzman shoehorn cricket into yet another task?!

Our five weary contestants compete one last time, in a grand final featuring tiny chairs, giant eggs and a honking Alex Horne. But at the end of it all, who'll lift the legendary Taskmaster trophy?
