[ID: Two screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett sits slumped at a table in a big Tudor kitchen. He says worriedly, "I think I need to, like, seriously go back to school or something." End ID.]

[ID: Two screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci sits at a wooden table in a Tudor kitchen, holding a fork in one fist. He asks, "Will this stop if I...?" He braces the fork against the table, in front of his open mouth, and mimes hitting himself on the back of the head. End ID.]

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett sits at a wooden table in a Tudor kitchen, with a metal cloche and an envelope in front of him. From off-screen, Alex Horne says, "Right, you can open the task but not the cloche." Joel says, "Not the cloche? I wouldn't dare. I'm cloche-trophobic." He beams as he opens the envelope. End ID.]

[ID: Seven screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci is in a big Tudor kitchen, looking surprised as he sits down at a wooden table. He laughs, "That was much lower than I was expecting!" He puts his elbows up on the table, which reaches to mid-chest. Alex Horne says from off-screen, "Yeah, you don't look very big." Armando says, "No. People have said that." Alex says, "We're just adjusting the cameras to get your height," as the shot cuts off most of Armando's head. Still half out of shot, Armando asks, "Did this happen with anyone else? Just me? You set this up for me." End ID.]

[ID: Five screencaps from Taskmaster. Kumail Nanjiani is in a garden, wearing a green morph suit and struggling to carry an enormous decorative pineapple. Later, in the studio, he says, "And it was very exhausting running with all those things. That pineapple is very heavy." Joel Dommett points at Kumail's biceps and asks, "What are these muscles for?" Kumail says, "Decorative." End ID.]

[ID: Thirteen screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci says, "So most books are categorised by a system called the Dewey Decimal system, which, though effective, is a bit dull." In the corner of the room, Alex Horne sits with his eyes closed. Armando continues, "So this is an attempt to make the act of book categorisation much more exciting, by doing it in rhyme." He recites, "Tell you what's boring, categorising books. Let's add some pizzazz, so it's more exciting than it looks. Poems by Tennyson, so poems with titles that rhyme with venison. This one is green and mouldy, so it's on the shelf of books that are oldie." End ID.]

[ID: Seven screencaps from Taskmaster. Kumail Nanjiani says, "It doesn't look great." Greg Davies, holding a glass container of food, replies, "It doesn't smell great, if you don't mind me saying." Kumail says, "But I should tell you, the name of the dish is Racial Harmony... so if you don't like it, I'd like you to tell me you're not a fan of Racial Harmony." Inside the container is a kebab wrap with strawberry jam. Greg says, "I didn't think I'd ever say this, but Racial Harmony makes me feel sick." End ID.]

[ID: Seven screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett says, "I've brought in a USB stick with my favourite Christmas song ever on it, and it's by Sting..." Greg Davies says, "Whoa." Joel says, "...and Shaggy. I thought I could sing it for you." He passes a piece of paper to Joanna Page, who's sitting beside him, and says, "Joanna, if I could get you to do Sting's parts." Joanna replies, "Ah, typecast again." End ID.]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Kumail Nanjiani says defensively, "I just want you to know that I did not cheat on purpose. That was an oversight. I would never cheat." Armando Iannucci says, "That's what Nixon said." Kumail makes two peace signs and says, "I am not a cheat." End ID.]

[ID: Four screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett says, "It started with someone struggling with a wink and ended with someone struggling with a wank." Greg Davies says approvingly, "Oh, that's a lovely bit of work. Once you've all gone, we'll re-record that with me saying it." End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett stands with a furtive, worried expression, then says hesitantly, "Wank." He looks around with a big nervous smile. End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Armando Iannucci walks up a grand staircase in a historical property, carrying a board of magnetic letters on his arm. The corresponding alphabet is at the bottom of the screen. As he goes up the steps, he says, "Fuck. Piss. Bomb." End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Joanna Page asks, "Are there 25 letters in the alphabet? There are, aren't there? Are there?" End ID.]

[ID: Nine screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett stands at the bottom of a grand staircase, reading from a letter, "Get to the top of the staircase." He looks up with an eager grin and says, "Feels like a bit of me, this." He continues, "...and you must not repeat words at any point... Nah, it's not a bit of me, this. Really not a bit of me." Later, in the studio, Greg Davies asks, "What happened to change your mind that this was a bit of you?" Joel replies, "I realised that when I said, 'Oh, this is a bit of me,' it was just steps." End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Letter magnets, from A to Z, are stuck to a small board standing on a plinth. Kumail Nanjiani says, "It's the alphabet. Nothing gets by me." End ID.]

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Joel Dommett says, "Don't take this the wrong way, it sort of felt like we were watching someone playing a game in an old people's home." Armando Iannucci replies, "I have taken it the wrong way." End ID.]
