Synopsis

Taskmaster (2015), Season 5 runs eight episodes of British comedy you can watch online on iFILM, with Greg Davies judging Aisling Bea, Bob Mortimer, Mark Watson, Nish Kumar and Sally Phillips.

The breakout here is Bob Mortimer, who turns every trivial task into a tiny piece of theatre. The five play handless basketball, balance jelly, build costumes out of coconuts, and spread absinthe on toast. Nish Kumar fancies himself Robin Hood, Sally Phillips keeps landing in odd predicaments, and Mark Watson feels the wrath of yoghurt. The stakes get sillier as it goes.

Plenty of fans rate this the best season the show has produced, largely down to the chemistry of these five. Eight episodes that make it easy to fall into the rest. Stream Taskmaster Season 5 online on iFILM.
