Ta-da!
Oh!
Nutsack!
Welcome, viewers, to the sixth episode of Taskmaster.
My name is Jeremy Wells and I am the Taskmaster.
We are past the halfway mark now,
and this competition is getting hot and spicy.
A few months ago, I set tasks for five comedians to complete
at a secret location.
They tried their best, and tonight, I will try my best to judge them.
Then, we will know who is the best and who is the worst,
despite trying their best.
At the end of it all, one competitor will be crowned
the Taskmaster season champion
and they will receive my famous head in golden statue form.
There it is there, scaring the bejesus out of me.
Let's introduce our comedians tonight. They are Angella Dravid
Brynley Stent
Guy Williams
Leigh Hart
and Madeleine Sami!
And to my left-
a highly intelligent being who helps me with things.
He's like Siri if Siri was a handsome 28-year-old man
with the dexterity to give you a pre-show foot massage.
It's Paul Williams!
Uh, what's with the t-shirt tonight?
So, uh, I've been developing an app for phones,
and, uh, yeah, this is it- Cool Cuts phone app.
You know, most people are making apps for mobile phones,
so this is for landlines.
So, basically, we come around, we install it physically into your phone.
Everyone needs a haircut, right?
So any time you need a haircut, you just hit the button
and we'll give you the phone number of a hairdresser.
What, like the closest available store?
- Probably not the closest. - It's my uncle's place in Pukekohe.
He'll give you a professional-style haircut. Great price. Yeah.
So, Cool Cuts.
Fantastic start. Paul-
it's that time of day, and I'm in a task-y sort of mood.
- Should we start with the prize task? - Let's do it.
Before the show, everyone was asked to donate something to our prize haul.
Tonight, they were asked to bring in the thing that scares you most.
Ooh!
The Taskmaster will decide which prize is best,
or in this case, scariest,
and that person will get five points.
The person with the most points at the end of the show
will walk away with all five scary things.
Let's gets spooky. Mads, what did you bring in?
A thing that I find repulsive and disgusting, and
makes me shiver- shiver down to my spine
is a collection of small holes.
So, anything that with a collection of small holes, and that...
That is so disgusting. I can't even- I know it's there.
But I can't even bring myself to look up at it.
Trypophobia is a fear or disgust of closely-packed holes.
Hmm.
It has a Wikipedia page. It's a thing.
Yeah.
So, which is worse for you-
the sponge with the holes or the crumpets?
I'm not going to look at it to tell you.
Most people are scared at night. You're scared at breakfast time.
Oh, my God. Anyone else grossed out by that?
- Yeah, it's horrible. - Thank you. Thank you.
Can I say I'm just totally fine with that?
I wouldn't consume it.
- Let's get it off the screen. - Get it off!
- Right, Guy. What did you bring in? - I brought in my biggest fear,
which is thousands of Facebook comments about vaccines.
I printed them out. It took me a long time,
and it was traumatic all the way through.
One at the top there, I think someone comments,
'They didn't have a vaccine for the plague and that just went away.'
And someone in capitals wrote,
'That's because they died, you uneducated potato.'
Leigh, what did you bring in?
Um, I think this speaks for itself.
Thank you. Angella?
I've always thought the most important thing is if you are
ironing or folding clothes, you never put them away.
You always fold them and leave them out, just to show that you’ve done it.
Oh, totally. I go a step further, Jeremy.
I'll go to the cupboard and get stuff that's folded and ironed already,
get it out, and put it back out in the lounge again.
Spread it around the table, because then, I've obviously done it.
Brynley, what did you bring in?
I brought in, um, two pork hocks in shoes.
Um, yeah.
And this is a replica of the greatest unsolved prank
that has ever happened to me.
When I was moving out of home, I was moving my stuff out to my car
and I was doing trips from my house,
and in between one of the trips, two shoes with pork hocks appeared.
So, I've got a photo from 2015, I believe, from my Instagram.
That appeared just outside my house,
and to this day, I don't know where they came from.
So, please, if you're watching and you did it,
own up and tell me so I can go to sleep.
It's like a very dark sequel Babe: Pig in the City.
- Angella? - I brought a mirror.
I scare myself, but I'm also really scared of...
people staring at me.
So if I stare at a mirror...
It's an Inception moment for you. It's you staring at yourself,
- staring at something. - Yeah.
I couldn't figure out a way of interpreting people
staring in a way that we can take a photo of it.
Uh, this is terrifying.
Let's score this one.
Brynley, I think, for me,
a couple of pork hocks inside of shoes is not that scary.
- Wow. - That's just-
Something wrong with you then.
- I think we've found our culprit! - It was you!
It can be delicious in the right type of soup. Madeleine-
Fair.
I don't share your fear of holes and I love crumpets.
I thought you were gonna say you love holes.
I'm sorry.
Leigh, your iron, I think, can be scary used in the right way,
- so three points for you. - Oh, thank you very much.
I can understand with mirrors. I too avoid mirrors.
So four points for you, Angella.
And then I think that means five points for you, Guy, surprisingly.
Yes! Yeah!
Ok. So Guy is currently in the lead with five points,
but the thing that scares me most is change.
So let's hope it stays that way.
Of course, anything can happen once we get tasking.
Do you have another task for me, Paul?
- I have a question for you, Jeremy. - Mm-hmm.
Do you believe in magic?
No. Not really.
Well, hopefully, you like this task anyway.
- Hello, Angella. - Hello.
- Hello, Madeleine. - Kia ora, Paora.
There's no desk. That's fine. Not weird.
'Make the biggest thing disappear.'
'Biggest thing made to disappear wins.'
'You have one hour...' Ugh, that's so long.
'You have one hour. Your time starts now.'
Oh, this is hard.
If I push the caravan into the lake, are you going to be pissed off?
Yeah.
I have made...
exes disappear.
- Oh, wow. - That's my first crush-
Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman.
She's an angel.
Yeah, I've made people that have slighted me
disappear from my life, but that's more of a-
It sounds like you're killing people.
I haven't killed anyone. I sometimes have those dreams, you know?
Where you think you've killed someone, and I think, 'Ooh, did I kill someone?'
But then it's just a dream.
- Why are you shuffling nervously? - Huh?
Why are you shuffling nervously?
Ooh.
Well, you can understand why Paul was shuffling nervously.
I mean, how many ex-boyfriends have you made disappear?
Cut!
That was the last word Jared heard right before-
All right, who are we going to watch first?
Has she killed people? No one knows.
Does she kill this task? Let's find out.
- It's Madeleine Sami. - Oh, God.
Good evening, afternoon, any time of the day it is for you, New Zealand.
We are here in Riverhead in a vacant field.
Nothing but me, my magic mind,
and this yellow caravan which will soon disappear.
I will make it happen with the use of my magic.
Come with me.
Be astounded. No tricks, no camera tricks. Just me.
Boys!
It's hard to get a connection.
It's close.
It's heavy. It's a really heavy, large caravan.
It's taking a lot longer than I thought.
It's close! So close.
Start. Go, go, go. Car, go.
Obviously, it's quite a closely guarded secret in the magic community,
but how did you make that caravan disappear?
If I told you, Jeremy, you might have to go missing like Jared.
How long did it take Madeleine to disappear that caravan?
Uh, one minute and 13 seconds.
It was- It was very heavy, and I'd only just picked up...
mind movement is what I'm calling it, that morning.
So, you know, and it is a weight-based thing, so...
And that was the task. The biggest thing, so
quite a big thing- a caravan.
If we're using caravans as a unit of measurement,
then the item she made disappear was...
one caravan big.
Right, we're going to watch more big things disappear
right after we show you some ads,
which no doubt will make products disappear from the shelves. We'll see you shortly.
Welcome back to Taskmaster
the only show which can make a caravan disappear
in the time it takes a caravan to drive away.
Paul, would I be correct in assuming we are partway through a task?
You're always correct, full stop.
This task sees our competitors trying to make the biggest thing disappear.
- The big thing to beat is a caravan. - Who's going to try?
This entry is from Brynley Stent,
and this is a bit more of an art piece or a play.
Brynley, am I correct in saying that?
Yeah. Yeah, it's a theatrical, uh, experience.
- Oh, good! - Let's take a look.
The year: 1915.
I cancelled work to go to the park. Oh, wow! It's a cow!
- That's a beautiful cow. - Wow. Beautiful.
- I'm going on a picnic. Wow, a cow. - Beautiful cow!
The year 2020.
The latest Instagram post- it's not loading!
She wants to go on a picnic. I just want to go on the internet.
I hate nature. I love technology.
I hate nature! Nature sucks!
- This is so stupid! - I just want to go on the internet.
Oh, dear.
What's going on there?
So, just, the premise of the film
was that 1915 was somehow an amazing time.
Bang smack in the middle of World War I.
It's kind of interesting that you chose 2020,
and the worst thing you could think of happening...
was a computer store being built.
In my defense, this was pre-pandemic.
Also worth noting that since 1915,
the cow population
has really gone up.
So, how many cows were there in 1915?
Well, in terms of kind of dairy cows, there was about 634,000.
Right.
And, uh, now there's about five million. Yeah.
But to be fair, that was cuz a lot of them got conscripted
into World War I, didn't they?
- We lost a lot of cows. - We lost a lot of good cows.
- We lost a lot of cows. - Yeah.
You'll notice that was one of the worst-filmed tasks
because most of the crew were...
- in it. - Yeah, they were in it. I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I think that's just one of the worst tasks full stop.
- What else have you got for me, Paul? - It's Guy Williams.
Can he go bigger than a small cow?
If I make a massive, like, world record-length bubble,
and then it pops...
All right. I got the special formula here. Get that in there.
I'll tell you what, just
tying some strings together
and having a laugh in the park is harder than it looks.
Three, two,
one.
Let's do this. Feel the spirit.
Dear Jesus, please help me in this task.
Fuck it. Time for Plan B.
- How much left? - One minute, three seconds.
Sick.
Five, four,
three, two, one.
Do you think that's disappeared?
Yeah. No one's going to come down here. It's disappeared.
Just don't film it. It's disappeared.
- No, I can still see it. - Yeah, if you look over there,
it's disappeared.
- It's just behind me. - Ta-da!
- It's just over there. - Yeah, I know it is over there.
I realise that. It's...
We've disappeared, though, and that's the main thing. I've forgotten about it.
Definitely A for effort, but to be honest, you didn't really make it disappear.
In fact, you probably brought it more to my attention
than anything else.
The bubble idea was good.
Well, how long did he faff around on the bubbles for?
Yeah, he spent 44 minutes blowing bubbles.
Wow.
I think you're lucky you didn't get the bubble thing happening.
People are over bubbles.
They don't want 'em. They do nothing.
Would you like to make another video appear?
I would.
Here is the wickedly talented Leigh Hart.
First and foremost...
structural.
I thought with rubbish there, it'd be easier to stick that out,
and it would, uh...
it'd be gone, of course.
Leigh, apparently rubbish day is today, just-
- Rubbish day is today? - Yeah.
So, I might just add to this and maybe have a full-on political economic message.
Wait there for a moment. Be back in a second.
What's one of the biggest things we know?
Biggest things we know?
What do we live on?
Earth.
There you go.
There's nothing bigger than the Earth that we know of.
So if we don't recycle, we won't have a planet to live on.
You know, we might as well...
chuck it out with the rubbish, and that's big. It's a big message.
And this is pretty big as well.
Are you worried that the recycling truck's not going to come in the next 48 minutes?
Well, that doesn't concern me, does it?
Has it disappeared, then?
Well, once we head back in there, we won't see it.
Yeah, ok.
- Out of sight, out of mind. - Thank you, Leigh.
Powerful, powerful message.
I think the big question is what did you exactly make disappear there?
Because, of course, you made the recycling disappear.
You made the little globe disappear.
Do we take your metaphor as the whole thing, you know?
Well, you can,
and, look, I don't like to get too deep on these shows, to be honest,
since it is supposed to be entertainment,
but if you can get a deep message across to the viewers,
- why not? - What was the deep message?
Well, if you can't see the message, Guy,
you're really missing the point,
and you can't- you know-
I think that there's two messages there-
one, I made a recycling bin disappear out of sight, out of mind.
Plus, I put the planet in there, and...
But haven't you just ruined the recycling?
Because that globe didn't necessarily look very recyclable.
Leigh, I just want to say artist to artist,
I really appreciated your message, um, and I felt very affected by that work.
- Yeah, thank you. I could feel that. - Yeah, really powerful. Yeah.
How long did it take for the recycling truck to come?
Uh, just over four hours.
- But the bin was 240L. - Mm.
And the globe was 30cm in diameter.
But that was more of a metaphor
- for planet Earth. - It was a metaphor.
And planet Earth is one trillion cubic kilometers.
Exactly.
At one point, you said that the Earth is the biggest thing that we know of.
Well, a few hundred years ago, the anti-vaxxers would have said that.
We live on the Earth, right.
And once that's gone, people, what's the point. You know?
That's the deepest thing I've ever heard you say.
I believe we have one more disappearing act.
We do indeed. Prepare to be amazed by the wonderful Angella Dravid.
Ok, I think I know what to do.
If I take a photo of the house and then Photoshop it out,
then the house will disappear.
- Do you have Photoshop? - No.
Is that going to be an issue?
- Do you have Photoshop? - I have Photoshop.
You have Photoshop? Cool. Ok.
Let's do it.
Cool. All right.
Is it Command-Minus?
Paintbrush, and then really soft.
Fuck, that's too big.
Fuck.
Well done.
Congratulations. We are in episode six, and it's the first time
that you have made a task not feel uncomfortable.
Fantastic.
Well, at least you can make the bit after the task feel uncomfortable.
I'm blown away. I didn't think you knew
- how to use Photoshop! - Yeah, it's awesome.
I don't. You'll see the same tree five times.
It was a lot of the same tree, but she made the Taskmaster house disappear,
which has a floor area of 379m2.
- Wow! - That's pretty good.
So I'm going to have to judge these, aren't I?
Yes.
Quite tricky, I've got to say, this time around.
- One point, I think, for you, Guy. - Wha- ?!
- That was a pretty rubbish effort. - He literally took the recycling out!
- And it didn't even come! - With a message.
All I can think after seeing Leigh's was,
'At least I'm not going to come last.'
And here I am, like every bloody week.
Leigh had a reasonably deep message.
I will say that globe was in perfect nick and did not need to be recycled.
It sounds like it's wasteful.
Is the planet in perfect nick, Paul, at the moment?
Would you say that the planet...
See, it's people like you that got us into this kind of mess.
- Brynley's on board. - Yeah, I'm here.
How did fuckin' Brynley beat me?!
It was a theatrical masterpiece!
Brynley, you got two points.
- Aww. - You came second-to-last.
- Leigh got three points. - Three points?!
Yeah, three points. Madeleine- I liked Madeleine's, and that was a caravan.
That was a big thing she disappeared.
- Yeah, that was great. - It was in real life.
Yeah, so you get four points.
Thank you, man.
And Angella- that was a big thing to disappear,
- so congratulations. - You've won that task. Five points.
- Can't believe it. - Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Do I really make tasks uncomfortable?
Feels normal.
On one of the ones, you brought along, like,
vaginal fucking lipstick. Remember that?
It's not my problem you find vaginas uncomfortable.
- Atta girl. - Get 'em, girlfriend!
Get 'em, girlfriend!
I can see now that the problem is me.
Feel like it's time that we took a gander at the scoreboard. Paul?
For second place, we've got a three-way tie.
With six points, Madeleine, Leigh and Guy,
but out in first with nine points, it's Angella Dravid.
All right, it's time to make ourselves disappear
for a grand total of three-ish minutes.
Photoshop our heads on to the ads if you think that you'll miss us.
We'll see you soon.
Welcome back to Taskmaster,
where five exceptional comedians are battling it out
for the chance to take home some pork hocks in shoes.
Paul, I think I'm ready for a new task.
Well, you've come to the right place-
the studio where they record the show Taskmaster.
- This next task is team-based. - Ooh.
Ooh, we running?
- Hi. - Oh! Hi, Paul.
We're having fun before the task has even started!
- Hello, Angella. - Hello.
- Hello, Leigh. - Hi, Paul. How are ya?
Good, thank you. Please stand in your areas.
- We've got names. - Guy!
Oh! Thank you.
Uh...
'Gather your tools...
'...and bring them to your area.
'You have two minutes.
'Your time starts now.'
Tools.
- Don't touch that. - Tools.
- Gather your tools. - Well, I mean, what tools?
- You've got 1.50. - Do I just get tools?
-Gather your tools - Two minutes?!
and bring them to the area.
You have two minutes.
Oh, shit.
- One minute. - Spade.
Can you hear me?
- I'm panicking! - Come on, come on!
If you're not back in the time, you can't use the tools.
- What? - 28 seconds.
Five, four,
three, two,
one.
- What kind of stuff did you guys get? - Oh, we got spades.
I've got a...
A grease gun, which I'm sure is going to be handy.
- You broke the ribbon. - Ah, it's ok.
We've got the tools to fix it.
So, what's everyone got?
Well, she's got a guitar. She brought some pot plants.
I'm preparing for an epic jam, man.
Let's get this fucking jam going, you know?
Yeah, that's a classic jam, isn't it?
With a guitar, some pot plants and a shopping trolley.
Yeah, man.
I believe there's more to this task. Is that correct, Paul?
No, actually, that was it.
Oh, actually, yeah, you're right. Um, yeah, there's a second part.
Let's see if Leigh and Angella's tools proved handy.
'Transfer as much soup as you can'
'from the blue vat...'
'to the yellow vat.'
'You have five minutes.'
So, you've got to get that soup, Angella, into this one.
- I'm just going to put it in that. - Finish reading the task, please.
Finish? 'You have five minutes. Your ti-'
So, are you thinking about this? So, that's going to handy-
Finish reading it, please.
Oh, sorry. 'You have five minutes.' Just five!
So, I just need to give that soup to you.
To me, and it's-
And then, you give me your soup.
No, no. We only have to get your soup to my soup.
Oh, ok.
Time starts now. Spade will be helpful too. Shovel.
This is great- this.
Pumpkin, is it?
I think it's kind of mixed vegetable.
Let's get that over here.
Beautiful.
Always seems to be Angella getting messy.
Yeah.
- It's very messy work. - You're doing a great job, though.
Thank you. I'm just glad I've got a shirt that matches the soup.
Just give the wheels a bit of a grease-up.
Should run better now. What's the time, Paul?
- 20 seconds. - Yup.
I'm just going to hold it there till the clock finishes.
- How do you think that went? - Really good.
Angella, your thoughts?
Yeah, I mean, I just-
I mean- Yeah.
Don't feel bad. You did a lot of the work there.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I really need a shower.
The great thing about this task is that it doubles as catering for the crew.
Which is quite handy. You guys did quite well there.
I'm actually quite confident for a change, now I'm watching that.
You even managed to stop for some repairs on the wheelbarrow.
Yes, I did.
It's important to look after your equipment, it'll look after you.
How much soup did they move from one barrow to the other?
- 23.2L of soup. - Wow!
Uh, what tools did the other team have again?
The other team's tools include a grocery cart, a rake,
a tennis racket, a butterfly net and a deck chair.
- Nothing capable of holding liquid? - Not really, no.
How did they do?
It's impossible to say. We'll just have to watch.
Are we ready for the task?
'Transfer as much soup as you can from the blue vat to the yellow vat.
Sick.
'You may only use your own tools
- to handle the soup. - Oh, far out!
Why?!
'You may not leave your area or move the vats.'
So, the problem here is that I've got no tools.
Everything you've got, the soup will drain through.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh my God. This is the smartest thing I've ever done.
We've just got to break the end of this off here.
Brynley, fill up some soup, mate. Get it in a gumboot or something.
Put it in here, in the rake.
It looks like pumpkin.
Come on, fill it up, mate! We've not much time.
- Oh, it's coming out the hole. - Oh, it's coming out the bottom!
- It's coming out the bottom! - Hold it up to my can!
Hold it up to-
- Here we go. Here we go. Pour more. - Hold it up to my tin.
Pour more! Hurry up! Hurry up!
- We don't have much time! - Stop yelling at me!
I'm sorry.
- Hold it up to this. - Oh, that's perfect!
Back on top.
- Slow. - Ok, I think I'm out.
- And that's to stop the soup going in. - How good is this?
If anything, the rake is the ultimate object for this.
Three, two, one. Time for the soup!
I was very lucky to pick up this jug.
I thought I was lucky to get the shopping trolley, but boy, was I wrong.
- Full flow ahead! Let's go! - I- I can't- oh, fuckin' hell.
I'm almost out of control!
I'm gonna throw it!
- Six seconds. - Ok. One last go. One last throw.
Yes! We did it!
We did it.
The ultimate challenge.
- What did you do? - The ultimate challenge.
Spoons be damned.
I'm only going to eat my soup out of a hollow rake from now on.
A quote from you, Guy- 'This rake is the ultimate tool for this.'
What are the odds, right, that I get a whole shopping trolley full of tools
and not one of them can hold any liquids?
So you've got to admit- that was quite an innovation at the time.
It was like Guy had gone out of his way to exclusively
find the most porous objects at the house.
All he was missing was the sieve from the kitchen.
Why are we focusing on me? Ol' gumboot over here brought a tree along.
She also brought a jug.
How much soup did the team get into the bucket?
1.6L.
Which is, uh, enough to feed a medium-sized family for a light lunch,
assuming there's a lot of bread.
We used a bloody rake! Give that an applause!
Come on!
I think you guys deserve two points.
Yes!
And I think Angella and Leigh, I think, deserve four points.
I think that's fair.
All this talk of soup has got me hungry for more tasks,
which we'll be serving up for you just after this. Don't go away.
Welcome back to Taskmaster
the nation's number one soup transport show
that regularly features a plastic cow.
Tonight, five fantastic comedians are competing
to win some haunted crumpets stuck to a haunted sponge.
You can tell us what's next, Paul.
Would you believe it's another task?
And I'm a little bit embarrassed to show you this one, because...
on this day, I was feeling quite forgetful.
- Hello, Guy. - Whassup?
- Hi! - Hello, Brynley.
- Paul, how are you? How are you? - My glasses.
- My whistle. - Ooh!
The iPad.
My bowtie.
My jacket.
Wow.
He's really attached to that whistle.
He forgot his iPad.
Is this on purpose? Should I read this, or should I wait for him?
Ah. I believe we got a little bit of a preview of the task there, did we?
Yes, we did. Would you like to read it again?
Yes, please.
Who's first?
We're going to start with two guys and a gal.
One guy is called Guy. Their initials spell 'Gal.'
It's Guy, Angella, and Leigh.
My bowtie.
I'll wait for him, shall I?
Is he doing a joke?
- Hello. - Wait.
Sorry.
Is that part of it, is it?
Do I open this?
'Leave this room. Fastest wins. Your time starts wh- '
Boo to that one.
Fuck this game, eh?
Thank you, Guy.
'Leave the room. Fastest wins.
Your time started when Paul left the room.'
Oh. So I've already done it, but I came back.
Lost that one.
Thank you, Leigh.
How do you think that went?
I'm so confused.
- Why did you come to see me? - Uh, because...
I wanted to make sure you were ok.
Aw!
I'm fine, thanks.
Cool. But you actually did forget your bowtie.
Yeah.
You seen it?
No.
Oh my God.
Oh, Angella, that was nice. You seem genuinely concerned for Paul.
Yeah, I think I won because I was a good human being.
Yeah.
- I'm just- - Don't pander to her bullshit.
You guys showed an unusual amount of patience, it's got to be said.
I had genuine concern for my brother.
I thought he'd just forgotten his jacket
and wanted to wait for him, because I'm the real nice person,
not like Angella, who's bullshitting.
- How did everyone go? - Guy- 26.12 seconds.
Leigh Hart- 24.5 seconds.
Angella- 7.14 seconds.
And how did you feel? I mean, did you feel Angella's concern?
I was getting a lot of confusion, I think. Yeah.
From everyone, there was a lot of confusion,
especially Leigh, who, uh,
I claimed to have forgotten my glasses.
Never worn glasses.
Who else do we want to see wait around in a room before leaving?
- We've got Madeleine and Brynley. - Oh, God.
I'll wait.
Now, what do we do?
Do I just start the task?
Do I just start it, Paul?
Maybe I should open this without him here.
He seems to be taking ages.
He has to get his whistle.
I didn't see.
Paul!
Why is there leaves?
Ok, I'm just going to do it.
Wait, is this part of it?
I'm just gonna open this task.
'Leave the room. Fastest wins. Your time started
'when Paul left!' No!
Oh, you mother...
Dammit!
It was part of it!
Dammit.
So mean.
- Sorry, Madeleine. - Really good acting, though, Paul.
Thank you.
I've got a couple of projects coming up
and we could use some acting skills on the level of yours,
so do you have an agent? Do you have a card or something?
I don't have an agent, no.
- Ok, let's talk. - Ok. Thank you, Madeleine.
Ok, thank you, Paul.
- I'm very free. - So mean.
Very free.
The way that you two exited the room, I detected some anger,
particularly from you, actually, Madeleine.
I think something clicked when I saw the leaves and I said it out loud to myself,
and I thought, 'Leaves. Paul leaves. He's left.'
I don't know how many minutes later that was, but yeah.
I still haven't made that connection.
What were the times?
- Madeleine- 1:22. - Mm.
Brynley- 1:25.
Which means one point for Brynley, two points for Madeleine,
three points for Guy, four points for Leigh,
and five points for Angella Dravid.
And that is almost all she wrote.
We have one final task-
a live task to end all tasks,
and it's happening right here, right after this,
don't miss television history.
This is certainly a show that will have happened
in the history of television at some stage. We'll see you very shortly.
Welcome back to episode six of Taskmaster.
Who will be the lucky person to take home Leigh Hart's iron,
among a myriad of other terrifying things?
It's certainly going to be one of these people right here. Paul, who's in the lead?
With a four-point lead, Angella Dravid.
No one get too excited, though. It could all change straight after this.
Let's head to the stage for the final task of the evening.
- Madeleine Sami. - Yes, Paul Williams?
Will you please read this task?
- Sure thing, ding-a-ling. - Don't call me that, please.
Ok, I'll come up with something else.
'Wearing your blindfold, pop up before the toast does.'
'You are only allowed to pop once.'
'If you pop up after the toast,'
- 'you will be disqualified.' - Ooh.
'The popper who pops up the most close to the toast wins.'
That was a little tongue twister.
- Any questions? - Yes, uh, Paul.
Leigh Hart. Um...
Can you give us an indication of the setting? Is it on five- dark toast?
Perhaps one- light toast?
- The toaster is on six. - Out of...?
- Seven. - Put it on its- on its end.
- What? - Yeah, absolutely. Always.
What is wrong with you?
With Vogel's, you've got to put it on its end.
Otherwise, you've got to get your fingers right in there and-
The Taskmaster is a psychopath!
I've got some good wooden toast tongs as well at home.
I just use a knife.
Go out strong.
Ok, so everyone understands?
Pop up as close to the toast popping, but not after it.
- Is everyone blindfolded? - Yes.
The toast is down...
now.
- Ok. - This is so tense.
Brynley, are you praying?
- Leigh, are you going off smell? - Yes, I am.
I have a heightened sense of smell.
I've owned two beagles in my time, and I've learnt from them...
to shit outside.
Whoa!
Riveting New Zealand television.
I still feel like we've got another five minutes.
- Can I sit down again? - No.
- Is Angella up or down? - I'm down generally.
Ok.
Brilliant popping from everyone, and a good effort from the toast as well.
Yes.
Head on down! Come on down. Let's do some judging.
Welcome back, everybody. So nice to see you all.
Thanks, Jeremy.
What just happened, Paul? I've just forgotten.
Uh, we just watched five people attempt to stand up before some toast pops.
Who came last?
No one got disqualified, so it's just the order they stood up.
So, one point for Brynley, two points for Leigh, three points for Guy,
four points for Madeleine, and five points for Angella.
And do you have the all important series scoreboard update for us, Paul?
- Yes, and we've seen some movement. - Ooh.
We have a new leader leaping ahead into the lead after this episode.
Angella Dravid with 98 points.
And please, Paul, do tell us who gets to hold aloft tonight's prize haul.
With 23 points, again, it's Angella Dravid.
What an illuminating evening of tasks.
We learned that if you want to make something disappear,
just chuck it in a stream.
We've learnt that a rake is a completely adequate soup receptacle.
Most of all, we've learnt that the winner of episode six
is none other than Angella Dravid. Congratulations!
Go spook yourself silly with your prize haul of scary things.
We'll see you next time. Thanks for watching.
Live while we're young!
- Ooh, it's like a trick suitcase. - It's a regular suitcase.
Everyone who comes and does this must struggle with that.
Ooh!
I feel like this has stopped being a comedy show and started being an intervention.
