Review: Taskmaster, “Supping from the fountain.” | Series 20, Episode 10

It’s the final episode of series 20 of Taskmaster, with contestants Ania Magliano, who looks like she dresses like a pirate every weekend; Maisie Adam, who looks more like an elf than a pirate; Phil Ellis, who, contrary to Taskmaster Greg Davies’ quip, is upsettingly pretty with long hair; Reece Shearsmith, who pulls off a beautiful curly Hook wig; and Sanjeev Bhaskar, who should probably not grow a mustache. 

I have to apologize for my math last week, gently pointed out by commenter Kael Driscoll. I’d added the mid-episode series score to the episode scores at the end, not realizing they didn’t account for the studio task. So Magliano and Ellis were tied coming into this episode, making the season ending even more of a twist. Although I’ve enjoyed this season overall — can you really have a bad season of Taskmaster? — there really was a dearth of lateral thinking. But the upshot is that it was anyone’s game by the end.
