Photoshopped Office meme where a tall besuited man is shaking the hand of a shorter, younger, very uncool man. Both men's heads have Amanda's deer-in-the-headlights face pasted over them. So Amanda is shaking Amanda's hand.

Hey, folks! I'm trying to raise money for the SHOC - Slough Homeless Our Concern - by doing The Big Sleep Out 2025!

Here's a photo of me in a bag looking like a deer in the headlights.

If you can, please throw a couple of quid in. Otherwise it's just [Office meme]

Photoshopped screenshot to look like an album cover. Little Alex Horne and MC Grammar stand back to back, arms crossed, looking down at the camera. The words "LITTLE BOYZ" is written, but the z is crossed out in ballpoint and corrected to an s. A warning label says "Parental Advisory Pleasant Content" #alexhorne #taskmaster

A black and white digital illustration of The Horne Section band in rubber hose style, each of the band members hanging out of a cartoon car. Alex is being run over by the car, Will is sitting out the back window with his bass behind him, Mark is angrily driving with Ben standing up out of the sunroof with his butt against Mark’s head. Joe rests on Ben’s butt with his trumpet resting on his head. Ben is playing a snare drum being held by Ed whose eyes are cartoonish spirals and has birds flying around his head indicating he’s dizzy. The car drives out of a cartoon tunnel, giving off a huge cloud of smoke with the text “The Horne Section” inside of it.

Series 20 is starting in two weeks! That means we're going to be switching to Debrief Mode when it begins. We're trying something different this time, by focusing exclusively on debriefs during the show's run, and then switching back to our usual deep dive episodes after the finale.

The Taskmaster S20 task in an American Gothic themed field. From L-R: Maisie Adam, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Alex Horne, Greg Davies, Phil Ellis, Ania Magliano and Reece Shearsmith.

Klaxon! Taskmaster Season 20 is nearly here.

A fresh batch of victims - Ania Magliano, Maisie Adam, Reece Shearsmith, Phil Ellis and Sanjeev Bhaskar - take on the Taskmaster from Thurs 11th Sep at 9pm BST on Channel 4 and an hour later on YouTube for viewers around the world.

according to our editing team, 84 years, give or take. 😎👍

I had a fantastic time on the Transformative Taskmaster podcast talking stats and nonsense, and you can tell that in this video because of how dark it gets while we're talking, I think we were there for 9, 10 hours???
