The first of these Taskmaster specials pitted the top dogs of seasons one to five against each other. Here is the natural follow-up featuring the winners of seasons six to 10: Liza Tarbuck, Kerry Godliman, Lou Sanders, Ed Gamble and Richard Herring. The result is an epic clash of comic titans with laughs, shocks, mild nudity plus the phrase: “The only way I get out of this with any dignity is if I die right now.” Graeme Virtue

The Flight Attendant

Season two continues its run of impressive new or returning performers by unleashing Sharon Stone as the estranged mother of main protagonist Cassie (Kaley Cuoco).
