Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most annoying thing, make a portrait of the Taskmaster on a door using their feet, creatively vandalise a wall, identify some battered items, and then find and then put on some glasses. ALso, Mike Wozniak regrets his special farting assignment, and two competitors break a tie by firing rubber bands into Alex's bum bag.

Title context

'Absolute casserole' was how Mike Wozniak described the state of his anus, having inadvertently squeezed out a haemorrhoid, during the 'Fart' task.

    Taskmaster Intro

    Hello. I'm Greg Davies. Welcome to Taskmaster. Got a job that needs doing? Worried you'll never find anyone to do it? Perhaps it feels too degrading? Maybe it's a job that doesn't really need doing at all. Well, good news. I happen to know five people who will do anything for a handful of rice and the chance to win a trophy that I can tell you from personal experience does not peak interest on eBay. Who are these super-subservient savants? I'll tell you.

    Assistant Intro

    And next to me, a man who is single-handedly keeping the plastic slip-on shoe industry alive. It's little Alex Horne!
