Joanne McNally

Taylor Tomlinson welcomes comic Jay Jurden, comic Joanne McNally and comic Affion Crockett.

The answers to a great many questions will be answered within this episode. Will Steve Pemberton's 'no vowels' gamble pay off? Why does Sophie Willan love to balance items on her head? Can John Robins make formula milk? What does Nick think is going to happen to those eggs? And, most intriguingly, why is Joanne McNally sniffing Little Alex Horne's beard? Greg Davies reacts to the cast's efforts to impress him with characteristic robustness.

Steve Pemberton experiments with G-force, Joanne McNally rocks a traffic cone and Sophie Willan splatters a human pigeon, which makes scoring a little tricky for the all-powerful Taskmaster, Greg Davies. In other news, Nick Mohammed gets trapped under a bed and John Robins constructs a lengthy homage to Little Alex Horne's hero.

All five contestants vying to win Taskmaster Greg Davies's coveted golden head are forced to wrangle some wild animals, with unpleasant consequences for Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton. Greg's loyal valet Alex Horne watches on as Joanne McNally demonstrates a traditional Irish handshake, John Robins reveals a love of pickled onions and Nick Mohammed sparks controversy with a cardboard tube.

Flanked by his efficient assistant Alex Horne, Greg Davies returns to remorselessly judge five quaking comics desperate to get their hands on his fabled golden head trophy. Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan and Steve Pemberton are the contestants hoping they still have a career after tasks involving roller blinds, a floating primate and, as is traditional, eggs.
