Episode 10: Caring Uncle Minpict

Episode synopsis

In this series finale the contestants must bring in the most magnificent floppy thing, drink a glass of squash with their mouth open, describe the Taskmaster (or guess the task, or eat a chocolate button), propose to Alex, and make noises without being identified by the Taskmaster.

Title context

'Caring Uncle Minpict' was the message that Victoria Coren Mitchell thought Alan Davies was trying to convey, in the 'Describe the Taskmaster / Guess the tasks' task.

Alternate Titles

• On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Huolehtiva Minpict-setä', which translates as 'Caring Uncle Minpict'. [Translator credit: zador]
• On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Saftiga frierier', which translates as 'Juicy proposals'. This title is referencing both the 'Drink with your mouth open' and 'Propose to Alex' tasks. The word 'saftiga' ('juicy') is carrying a double meaning here, referring both to the fruit squash ('saft' is a type of berry juice drink), and the proposals to Alex being 'juicy' (as in 'scandalous' or 'appealing').

• On Norway's Discovery+ Norge streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Omsorgsfulle Onkel Minpict', which translates as 'Caring Uncle Minpict'. Note: this Norwegian translation of the title only appears in the subtitles for the episode, whereas the episode title listed on the platform is the original English title.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, everybody. Hello, and welcome to another prestigious grand final. What a series it's been. We've seen each of our contestants at times soar like the mighty eagle of the plains, and we've also seen them be rubbish. But what will you all be talking about when the dust has settled? Will it be Victoria's repeated submission of Greedy Esquire? Perhaps Morgana taking any opportunity to shove ice into her clothes. Maybe it'll be Guz's film masterpiece, 'Oo-arr Blood'. Or Alan's guff-stiffened bathrobe. It could be any of those fascinating insights into the human condition. It'll probably be that time that Desiree ate sand though! So, for the last time, here they are.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who once told me, 'I always put my botty on the potty in case my front water becomes smelly back-cake.' It's little Alex Horne!
