Ray becomes Sherry Mobbins/Perry Moppins

Ray asks whether they can get the rights to Mary Poppins, which Paul doesn’t think they can.

In an attempt to head off any copyright claims, Ray’s attempt begins with an introduction clearly labelling the title of his piece “Sherry Mobbins”, instead.

Ray is seen – via the magic of greenscreen technology – floating down from the sky and landing on the balcony of the Taskmaster house, while holding a flamingo umbrella and a suitcase.

He is wearing a colourful jacket, a red ribbon round his neck, and a hat with a pink flower on it.

He introduces himself as ‘Sherry Mobbins’ and declares that he doesn’t infringe copyright and is here to look after a very naughty Paul Williams.

He then attempts to walks through the door with his umbrella still open, which doesn’t go smoothly.

He is then seen with Paul in the kitchen, where ‘Sherry’ is telling Paul that he’s very naughty, but he knows how to fix him.

Ray then starts loosely parodying the song A Spoonful of Sugar but using slightly different phrases, saying “the medicine goes down with a sugary spoonful” instead.

He is first seen feeding an actual spoonful of sugar to Paul, before switching to a ladle when that apparently isn’t enough to stop Paul being naughty, He then just throws a handful of sugar at Paul.

After the pair take a trip up the staircase, Ray is seen saying goodbye to Paul, talking about how he used to be naughty, but is now very sweet. He then kisses Paul, who thanks “Perry Moppins” for his help.

As Ray flies away from the house again, he begins to say “supercalifragilistic-” but is cut off, and the name “Perry Moppins” appears on screen.

In the studio, he admits having gotten confused about the name of the character.

He earns a shared first place.
