Episode 4: Shoe Who

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best night-time thing, play a game of Guess Shoe, give Alex the best stag minute, make a stirring speech from the letters on some bunting, and knock over their opponents' dolls with a bicycle tyre. There's also an exciting last-minute game of beer mat flipping.

Title context

'Shoe Who' was what Judi Love suggested might be the name of a shoe-based version of 'Guess Who', during the 'Guess Shoe' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Hello, everybody. I'm Greg Davies, and this is Taskmaster. There are those that think that this series - series 13 - is cursed. There are those that say I have the legs of a goat, and can be seen on the moors, devouring pork by moonlight. There are those that think all of the losers of Taskmaster are done away with and replaced by robots that I use to do my bidding. There are those that think I shouldn't write introductions to the show when I'm tired. And here are five of them.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, the answer to the question, 'What would happen if you forced a yak through a sausage machine?' It's... little Alex Horne!
