Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Horne Section began as a live pub gig in 2010, long before Alex Horne became Taskmaster's increasingly unhinged assistant.
This 2018 special predates the band's massive resurgence via their podcast and Taskmaster connections, capturing them at peak 'cult favorite' energy.
