Episode 9: It might be wind

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the best object with a handle, have the most surprising thing delivered to the Taskmaster house, make the longest cup snake, poke a body part out from behind a shower curtain, and predict how many cans they can fit in a bag.

'It might be wind' was something that Ardal O'Hanlon said about his wind-operated owl, in the 'Get the most surprising thing delivered' task.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who told me, in a private moment, that having a woman pilot an aeroplane is like putting a squirrel in charge of a peanut farm. It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So what have we learnt today? We've learnt a lot. We've learnt that Judi Love thinks she looks like a fish. We've learnt that Chris Ramsey can tell you how many cups there are in a room with just one glance. But what we haven't learnt, and what we might never learn, is what Ardal O'Hanlon was doing with a wooden spoon and some yoghurt in a shower for 15 minutes. Just one show left, and one big round of applause left for tonight's winner, Chris Ramsey.
