History Heartwarming / Taskmaster

* Self Esteem / Rebecca Lucy Taylor a self-confessed fan of the show was cosntantly happy on the show, called out Greg when he was trying to start a fight between fellow contestant Carol Voderman and her Countdown succesor Rachel Riley and heavily cheered and applauded winners of every task. She subsequently stated in an interview it was the best show she had ever been on and would consider returning for a full series.

* The final shot of the finale shows all five contestants holding hands and doing a dance inspired by Bridget Christie's strange walk from the pedometer task. Despite all the times they mock others' attempts at the tasks, it's clear this cast genuinely got along and had fun during the series.

* During the canalside task in "The Curse of Politeness" which involves collecting watermelon float rings by operating a barge, Ivo's rudder becomes unattatched and they have to wait for a handyman to fix it. It isn't initially clear whether the time spent fixing the rudder would count towards Ivo's overall time, and while Greg is mulling over this decision, Jenny jumps in to his defence, arguing that because she and Frankie had filmed before Ivo (and crashed the barge many a time), he shouldn't have the extra time added. Ivo (who has been scoring quite poorly in the episode) leans in to hug Jenny. Greg initially teases that the defence would push him the other way, but he ultimately allows Ivo the time spent without the repairs in between, and ultimately earns 4 points.

* When Kerry and Lou start bickering over how wonderful Lou's "most wonderful scene" is, Liza delightedly giggles "I've ''so'' missed this!"

* The episode ends with all contestants but one in joint 2nd place, receiving a very sweet "awww, that's nice." Then, in honour of the actual winner, [[spoiler:Sir Mo Farrah, everyone starts making [[MemeticMutation the 'Mo' sign]].]]

* During the live task of the season finale, the contestants had to do a series of tasks including "eat a whole banana, correctly put on a tie" which Katherine correctly argues, puts her in a distinct disadvantage compared to her male counterparts. Richard defused the situation by altering the task by moving a single comma. "Eat a whole banana correctly, put on a tie."

* Paul Sinha refused to badmouth any of his competitors from Series 8 and used copious self-deprecation to keep the focus on himself. He also made an effort to defend Iain Stirling -- who's been harshly criticised for his aggression and short tember -- and told the listening audience that he and Iain got along great when the cameras weren't recording.

** The studio watches Rob's 'domino rally', where Alex tips the crew and Rob into a ballpit with a van and a gym mat. Alex describes the making-of, then smiles and (in a rare occurence) describes setting up a contestant's attempt as "a lot of fun", which Rob agrees with.

** Rhe prize task is to bring in something that one of the other competitors would want. Although Greg openly admits that he was hoping for the contestants to use this as an opportunity to make fun of each other, most of them actually took it seriously and brought in very considerate gifts (poor Victoria, who did seem to interpret the task the way Greg wanted and brought Alan a voucher for a season pass to the ''rivals'' of his favorite football team, is left with egg on her face). It's immediately clear that the winner of the task is Desiree, who commissioned a painting of a dog that Guz wanted as a pet, and Morgana immediately promises to give it to Guz if she wins. In the end, Guz wins the prizes, but as the credits roll he immediately starts handing out the prizes to their intended recipients.

* In "A Chair in a Sweet", the prize task is to bring in something that one of the other competitors would want. Although Greg openly admits that he was hoping for the contestants to use this as an opportunity to make fun of each other, most of them actually took it seriously and brought in very considerate gifts (poor Victoria, who did seem to interpret the task the way Greg wanted and brought Alan a voucher for a season pass to the ''rivals'' of his favorite football team, is left with egg on her face). It's immediately clear that the winner of the task is Desiree, who commissioned a painting of a dog that Guz wanted as a pet, and Morgana immediately promises to give it to Guz if she wins. In the end, Guz wins the prizes, but as the credits roll he immediately starts handing out the prizes to their intended recipients.

-->'''Victoria''': I’m so happily married, I’m so besotted with my husband, I genuinely worried about proposing to another man even as a joke. I thought maybe that’s not nice. It’s ridiculous.
-->'''Greg''': It's pretty damn sweet, if you ask me.

* When Sophie wins her first episode ("The 75th Question"), she genuinely appears to be on the verge of tears when her victory is announced.

* During the live task in "The Perfect Stuff", Jessica Knappett fell off the stage. Greg, in one of the few moments across the series that he breaks his Taskmaster persona, genuinely freaks out and immediately runs over to check she's alright and help her up.

* In general, panels that gel together on screen continue their friendships long after shooting ends. According to Alex Series 4's panel continues to get along particularly well, and Ed Gamble noted on the the podcast that the Series 4 panel [[https://twitter.com/joelycett/status/1204162888270782464/photo/1 reunited for afternoon tea]] after they got jealous of the [[https://i.redd.it/9h0fxahr0rw31.png Series 9 panel doing the same]].
