Review: Taskmaster, “I corroborate. ” | Series 21, Episode 5
Bouncy boy Joel Dommett finally gets a task he thinks he can excel at.

It’s series 21, episode 5 of Taskmaster, and we’re back in the studio with Amy Gledhill, who gets a friend to do a task for her; Armando Iannucci, whose many achievements are eclipsed by ham, cheese, and Saran Wrap; Joanna Page, who does not neuter her own guinea pigs; Joel Dommett, who finally finds a task he can excel at; and Kumail Nanjiani, who cannot, in fact, make time go backwards.


This season continues to impress, with another top-to-bottom winning slate of tasks. The contestants are enjoying some good-natured in-studio bickering, and we’ve seen a range of contestants win episodes. As much as I love a curmudgeon among the players (looking at you, Sanjeev Bhaskar), it’s a helluva lot of fun when everybody's there to have a good time. Let’s crack on.
