Taskmaster Intro

Hello, I'm Greg Davies and this is Taskmaster. So far this series, Katherine is in the lead, but both Richard and Jon aren't far behind her. Tonight, it's the penultimate episode and because I'm in charge of the scoring, this golden trophy is still everyone's to play for. Everyone's. Except Joe's. Let's get cracking and meet our mighty competitors.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

But what have we learnt today? Well, we've learnt if you want to the normally brilliant Richard Osman to do badly, invite his children to the audience. And if you want Joe Wilkinson to do badly, just watch any episode. Congratulations to our winner, Doc Brown! Thank you, everybody, and good night!
