Taskmaster Intro

Hello. Welcome. It's Taskmaster. It's episode eight. I'm Greg Davies - sweet, sweet eye candy for your mum and your auntie. Five funny clowns have been battling it out over several episodes now. Some have proved themselves surprisingly resourceful. Others have made their families worry about whether they're looking after themselves. One and one alone will lift a papier-mache trophy into the air and shout, 'This?! I went through all that for this?!'. Let us meet the jesters on the battlefield of the absurd.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who cries every time he watches 'Free Willy' and who frees his willy every time he cries. It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt it's not about the size of the tongue, it's about the quality of the flob. It's not about the size of the hat, it's about understanding that you have to make a hat. It's not about the museum tour, it's about avoiding the man with the table tennis bat above his head. And finally, birds do not have four legs. We have to go now, but tonight's winner is the wonderful Bridget Christie!
