Taskmaster's Sign-off

And what exactly have we learnt today? Well, this is what we've learnt. The next time you get on a plane and you're experiencing turbulence, have a look out the window. There might be a giant sock on it. But more than anything, we've learnt that today's winner is Mr Dave Gorman! Congratulations to Dave, commiserations to everyone else. Thank you. I love you all. Good night.
