There's only one way to find out...Returning sections include Ask the Andys where we find out about the tasks we never see and of course Head to Head Taskmaster Moments continues with Asim Chaudhry's charming Papa G rap going up against the iconic Tree Wizard performed by Romesh Ranganathan.

S1 Ep 23Behind the Scenes - Dru Masters

E

Hark, is that the sound of trumpets? Are they slightly out of tune and in a two-tone ska and Balkan punk style? Then it must be because we have Taskmaster's very own music maestro, Dru Masters on this week. Jack, Lou and Dru discuss his influences, process, childhood and most importantly the damning lack of cowbells in the Taskmaster Soundtrack. If that wasn't enough, Jack is also at the cutting edge of topicality discussing inflation. Not the terrifying type that you hear about in the news though, he's talking Greg's point inflation over the series and has a go at redressing this despicable generosity.If you want to share your Taskmaster obsession, whether it's talking about your favourite task, your favourite quote or that you've recorded all the episodes of Taskmaster onto VHS and buried them somewhere in the middle of the Atacama, just to confuse archaeologists from the future, we're all ears.
