Taskmaster's New Year Treat, Episode 1

In Taskmaster's annual new year celebration, five new contestants from outside the world of comedy compete to win Greg Davies' much-coveted golden eyebrows trophy. And for the first time ever, this New Year Treat takes place over two episodes, which means contestants have twice the opportunity to impress Greg with their brilliance - and a double possibility of making him really cross with their incompetence. The five stout-hearted stars who believe they can take on the Taskmaster's baffling tasks are: Big Zuu, Jill Scott, Sam Ryder, Susie Dent and Rose Ayling-Ellis. How will they fare when they're asked to prod a dangerous animal? What will they do when they're presented with a case of dice? And which one of them will spend 20 minutes sweating over a foot pump? Little Alex Horne bears witness to all of the celebs' attempts, whether they're playing the glockenspiel or being baffled by flags, and feeds the relevant facts and figures back to Greg, who uses his peerless judgement to award points to the most deserving. Who'll plot their path to new year glory?
