Episode 5: A new Simon

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must complete 11 tasks with fruits and vegetables, do something uncharacteristic with 200 kroner, draw the biggest bike, subtly deliver a five word instruction to Mark, and name celebrities in time with some music.

Title context

The title is a reference to the fact that Simon Talbot stands in for Simon Jul on the episode, as Simon Jul was ill with Covid-19.

Taskmaster Intro

Welcome to Stormester, where the first and perhaps most important question of the night is: do we really have to waste our time once again listening to me, the Taskmaster, blathering on and on, instead of getting on with the show?

Assistant Intro

I feel so comfortable sitting here with my faithful assistant, Mark Le Fêvre. After all, Le Fêvre is French, and means 'Why is Simon Talbot sitting in Simon Jul's chair?'.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode was Sebastian Klein's shirt, which he said had appeared in every television show he'd done over a period of 20 years.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

There’s only one thing left to say. It’s what a lame man once whispered in my ear after a police interrogation. He said: ‘Thanks for tonight.’
