Abby performs a scene inspired by Les Misérables

After watching Paul scores a goal, Abby asks him if he has seen the musical Les Misérables. responds that not only has he seen it, but he has performed in it, sharing that he’d played the role of Javert.

Abby’s attempt begins with her stating, in a French accent, that her village has been attacked. Parts of various mannequins have been strewn around the lawn. Abby, dressed as a character from Les Misérables, runs over to Paul who is lying on the ground, apparently dying. He tells her, in a French accent, to score a goal for him, her father. He then dies.

Abby stands up and says that scoring a goal is the least that she can do. After scoring her goal, she waves the French flag in victory, claiming “They may take our lives, but through football, we will never die!”. She then proceeds to dramatically die.

In the studio, Jeremy says it was powerful stuff. When Ben jokes that it would have been good if Paul had gotten up and sung, in a cockney accent Master of the House, a cheery song from Les Misérables, Abby angrily points out that that song is sung by a different character.

When Jeremy says that he liked Paul’s character, Jean-Pierre, Paul notes that he will appear again in quite a few other tasks. Paul then points out that most of Abby’s performance had taken place before she’d scored a goal, but Abby points out the relevant adjective in the task was ‘glorious’

Jeremy agrees that Abby’s attempt was glorious, so Abby earns 4 points.
