Episode 7: The integrity of the product

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most ridiculous thin thing, put up a shelf for the Taskmaster's snooker balls, write and perform a 30-second jingle, pass everything through a pipe and the pipe through everything, and direct drawings using limited keywords.

Title context

'The integrity of the product' was the reason Victoria Coren Mitchell gave when asked why she was putting the snakes back into the can, in the 'Write and perform a 30-second jingle' task.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who is more than just a PA - he's a P-A-I-N. And he's always got his hands down his P-A-N-T-S because he's got an R-A-S-H. It's... little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So what have we learnt today? We've learnt if you ever find yourself stateside in LA, you should make an effort by learning a few colloquialisms. Why not walk into a bar and shout, "Jebus, guys, anyone fancy a game of snucker and a few jars of bing bong bing?" Goodbye, my friends. See you very soon. For now, here's tonight's winner once more, Victoria Coren Mitchell!
