Insurance Taskmaster Episode One: Insuring The Titanic [1912]

For the first episode the contestants are catapulted back to January 1912 to meet the Insurance Taskmaster, today playing the role of Wilfred Green, an employee of Willis Faber & Co.

Green has been sent to Lloyd’s of London to seek insurance for a new ‘unsinkable’ liner called the Titanic and her sister ship, the Olympic, on behalf of the White Star Line.

The Taskmaster contestants now have just one hour to compete with each other to come up with the most comprehensive insurance and risk management offering for the £1m slip attributed to Lloyd’s.

• Who will sink? Who will swim?
• Who will not see the icebergs for the Ocean?
• And who has not watched the James Cameron movie Titanic? Who has? And how will that inform what they come up with?

Watch the first episode now to find out.
