I guess I should explain what Taskmaster is for people who haven't seen it.
It's a panel show where the contestants are given ridiculous tasks to complete and then their attempts to complete those tasks are scored. The contestants are the same people over one season.
I'm not going to be able to explain it, but luckily the first 20 minutes of the first episode gives you a good idea of what it's like. (Although this first series is a bit rough and they refine it over the next seasons).
There are nine seasons of it, and it's genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen. (Seasons 6 and 8 are described by a few people as not good. S06 had 5 people who are all somewhat introvert so it's a bit quiet. S08 has one person who appears angry but not in a comedy way, and one comedian who's a bit polarising.)
