Taskmaster spoilers follow.
Tonight's (November 16) Taskmaster proved challenging for Susan Wokoma and one of the show's crew members who narrowly avoided a collision in a driving task.
The reality TV programme presented by Greg Davies and Alex Horne is getting closer to crowning this season's winner, with the contenders giving their all for a chance to win Taskmaster Greg's gilded head.
For the first task in this episode, Susan, as well as her co-stars Julian Clary, Lucy Beaumont, Sam Campbell and Sue Perkins, were asked to drive a road sweeper whilst abiding by Taskmaster's very own highway code.

Alex acted as a very fastidious driving instructor, ensuring the comedians obeyed the signs in the form of flags in different colours. Each colour would signal a bizarre indication, such as "walk around vehicle" and "activate your brushes".
Whenever the driver didn't obey a traffic sign, they'd have to get back to Alex for a driving lesson, slowing them down in completing the task.

While Julian ultimately gave up following all the indications, it was Susan who had the hardest time behind the wheel.

At one point, the Enola Holmes star almost hit a crew member, getting her road sweeper stuck in a fence. Fret not, as no crew members were harmed in the making of this task, as a post on the show's official Twitter/X clarified.
In studio, Susan revealed she doesn't have a driving licence, but insisted she enjoyed the task.
"I had so much fun," she said, laughing, "Especially when I nearly killed someone."
The night continued with the contestants crafting special gifts for Greg, ranging from Julian's gimp costume to Sue's painting of Alex in the style of Botticelli's Birth of Venus.
The picture earned the former Bake Off host 5 points that were crucial in winning the episode, the last before next week's finale.
Taskmaster series 16 airs and streams on Thursday nights at 9pm on Channel 4, where you can also stream previous series.
