Andy turns to French cinema

Andy decides to make use of the cricket bat he is carrying around with him as part of his task outfit, and beats the bubble with it until it deflates.

He makes an attempt to delay the start of the task by saying words beginning with ‘B’, saying “Right, so I’ve got– if I want to buy time, I’ve gotta keep babbling on babbilously.”

Andy’s attempt takes the form of a parody of French cinema/perfume adverts, with him appearing as both the director, and the star of the short film ‘Beauty and ze bubble’.

Filmed in black and white, and scored with mournful piano music, his film shows him blowing bubbles and then attempting to use them and a series of fruits as snooker balls, while performing the following narration in a French(-ish) accent:

I am bubble. Am I beautiful? Tell me. What is beauty? I have dreams of what a sphere can become... but I know change changes change, and ze world becomes new again. We create, we destroy. We are destroyed, we were created. Life is in ze unexpected. For I know, as a bubble, things never stay the same. Things never change. We are all bubbles. Bubbles doomed to die. But our beauty lives forever. Pour homme, pour femme, pour le Taskmaster. Et sont petit ami, Alex Horne.

Occasionally, Andy as the director chimes in with helpful instructions such as “Try the orange!” and “Work the camera, for fuck’s sake!”.

In the studio, Greg states that Andy’s film was “incredible”, and admits that he has nothing negative to say about it.

Unsurprisingly, Greg awards Andy 5 points for his “artistic genius”.
