Taskmaster Intro

Hello! I am Greg Davies. Welcome, my friends, to Taskmaster. Now, I'm not a vain man. Quite the contrary. I'm a man renowned for almost inhuman levels of humility. But I don't blame the contestants' desperation to win this trophy because this is the single most important and beautiful award since the beginning of time. But who will win it?
