Taskmaster Intro

Kia ora koutou, and welcome to Taskmaster. You may know me as a man called Jeremy Wells, but as soon as you enter this area, all bets are off, and I officially become the Taskmaster. And as the master of tasks, I've had the pleasure of putting together a peculiar, yet playful gaggle of problem-solvers, all hoping to procure the prized possession of my princely pate.

Note: 'Kia ora koutou' is Māori for 'Hello everyone'.

Assistant Intro

And as always, I have with me one of the top two Pauls on the show. It's my assistant, Paul Williams!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

That wraps up this episode of Taskmaster. Prop-based athletic records were smashed and an all-time cow-pitulation by Chris Parker. But mostly what was made was another winner, in the form of Kura Forrester.
