Taskmaster has teased the tasks for its upcoming 15th series, including a two-part challenge.
In a recent Guardian interview with Taskmaster creator Alex Horne, it was revealed that one series 15 task is a musical composition challenge. Comedian Ivo Graham will take part in it, but he's confessed that he's lacking in "musical skills."
This particular task is the first of two parts, an increasingly popular staple of the show.

A separate task, which also saw Graham being filmed, involves a tape measure. The comedian was seemingly pleased by the task, having said upon opening an accompanying envelope, "Oh yes, oh yes."
Competing alongside Graham in Taskmaster series 15, which is due to air next year, will be Frankie Boyle, Jenny Eclair, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, and Mae Martin.

Speaking about the most recent series, contestant Fern Brady praised Taskmaster for its inclusive representation in a heartfelt post on Instagram.
She wrote: "It is absolutely staggering to me that a show where I painted a self portrait with a raw sausage on a toilet seat was the thing which made me profoundly accepting of my autistic self, but there you go."
"When I was lurking on the TM [Taskmaster] subreddit before this series went out, it was pretty apparent how many autistic people watched the show," she continued.
"I realised that by being my unmasked self while having fun, I’d reach them way better than by doing some serious on-the-nose documentary about how shit my life had been when I was undiagnosed."
Taskmaster will return for its Taskmaster's New Year Treat one-off special this festive season on Channel 4, then series 15 is expected to air in 2023.
