Where to start with Taskmaster

There is no story, so you can start almost anywhere, and two things are still worth knowing before you do. The early series are a noticeably different programme, and the Champion of Champions specials are spoilers for the series they are drawn from.

  1. 1
    Series 6, or 7, or 8 Taskmaster

    Ten episodes, the settled format, the studio it still uses. Any of these is a clean entry point.

  2. 2
    Series 1 to 5, once you are in Taskmaster

    Six, five, five, eight and eight episodes, smaller set, cruder graphics, looser rules. Good, but not the show people are describing.

  3. 3
    Champion of Champions I, only after series 1 to 5 Taskmaster: Champion of Champions

    It is contested by the winners of those five series. Seeing the line-up is seeing five results.

  4. 4
    Series 10 onwards Taskmaster

    The Channel 4 era, ten episodes each, with the other three Champion of Champions specials slotted in after the blocks they draw from.

Then what? The New Year Treats and Taskmasterclass are fully detachable. New Zealand and the 2018 American version are separate contests, and New Zealand reuses tasks, so leave a gap between them.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
