Episode 3: I had so many dreams...

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most boring thing, throw a teabag into a mug, score a goal from the greatest distance, draw their face on a visor, transport a coconut, fill a cup with tears, empty a bathtub, and throw some things (but not too far). The guest contestant is Rita Salema.

Title context

'I had so many dreams...' was uttered by Jessica Athayde during the 'Transport a coconut as far as possible' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Taskmaster. The programme that’s very similar to 'Jeux Sans Frontières'. We just don’t have Euládio Climaco, nor mythical appearances of San Marino, nor of course, the famous 'Go, Figueira da Foz!'.

Contestant Intros

Born in 1989, which means that when the Berlin Wall fell, it probably woke her up. It's Inês Aires Pereira!

Born in 1985 in Luanda - not just the capital of Angola, but also a café in Lisbon which, according to their website, 'has good angler fish and fascinating pastries'. It's Gilmário Vemba!

Also born in 1985, which likely also means that she was conceived to the sound of Baltimora's Tarzan Boy. It's Jessica Athayde!

Note: Tarzan Boy was the debut single by the Italian music act Baltimora, and featured a melodic refrain which imitated the signature cry of the movie character Tarzan.

Born in 1963, he started his career at only five years old, hence his nickname of 'Setúbal's Mozart'. It's Wolfgang Amadeus Toy!

Note: Toy was born in the Portuguese city of Setúbal.

Born in 1966 and, in her career, she's played John Ford, Frederico Garcia Lorca, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, and let us not forget the dog Inspector Max. It's Rita Salema!

Note: Inspetor Max (formerly Inspector Max) is a long-running Portuguese television series in which a police duo fight crime with the help of a dog named Max. Rita actually played two separate human roles in the series, over the years, and not the dog itself!

Assistant Intro

Ladies and gentlemen, always with me, show your love for the one who once was the Adonis of Benfica, and is today the Brad Pitt of Carcavelos-Parede parish union: Nuno Markl!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Mischief happening here? More like chief who miss.
And if his first throw won't come near, the 55th throw will be bliss.
Goals that stand too far they will not hinder.
At times the best things are just four palms and three fingers.
There are those who ask for a lot, those who celebrate not,
Those who seek to be carried in a stranger's trot.
A tear I will make if mine are on halt,
Unless Toy is at stake, who sucks his like penalt.
