Taskmaster

9pm, Channel 4

Now in its 13th season since first airing in 2015, Greg Davies and Alex Horne’s celebrity gauntlet Taskmaster has established itself as a telly staple. Entering the competition this year are comics Ardal O’Hanlon, Bridget Christie, Chris Ramsey, Judi Love and Sophie Duker. Their first task is an indoor duck hunt, which causes some animal identification problems for O’Hanlon. Next, there’s portraiture – using only lipstick kisses to illustrate their canvases.
