Thursday, June 26, at 9 PM on Channel 4, brings the penultimate episode of Taskmaster’s nineteenth run, titled Getaway Sticks. With Greg Davies’ coveted golden head still up for grabs, the competitors are pulling out all the stops in a frantic push for victory.
This episode promises a dash of nostalgia with the return of Patatas the cat to the Taskmaster house. Meanwhile, Rosie Ramsey faces a genuinely scary moment as she confronts her fear of heights in one daring task. Expect the kind of hilarious discomfort that Taskmaster excels at delivering.
Then there’s Fatiha El-Ghorri, who manages to knock down an egg-shaped Alex Horne—a sight that’s surely worth the price of admission. Elsewhere, Matthew Baynton waits patiently near a safe, hinting at a task that requires a steady hand and even steadier nerves. And Stevie Martin gets creative, building something unique with a fishing line.
As the series heads toward its climax, the contestants’ varied comedic styles are on full display, each bringing their particular brand of chaos to the array of bizarre challenges. It’s all leading up to the grand finale, so every point counts.
Taskmaster: Getaway Sticks airs Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 9:00 PM on Channel 4.
