Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most thought-provoking thing, do something manly with a cardboard box, have the most fun in 3 minutes, exactly recreate their 3 minutes of fun, make the best squirty cream art, remove a banknote from under a glass, and shake hands with the Taskmaster without revealing their identity.

Title context

'BMXing!' was an exclamation by Liza Tarbuck while she rode a BMX during the 'Have the most fun in 3 minutes' task.

    Taskmaster Intro

    Thank you and, of course, hello. I'm Greg Davies, and this is Taskmaster. Three episodes down and we've already learnt so much about the five contestants. We've learnt their names, for example. But for those who haven't got that far, here's what our contenders are usually called.

    Assistant Intro

    And, next to me, like a blob of mayonnaise that's dripped out of your sandwich onto your trousers, there to remain a nagging reminder of all the clumsy mistakes in life you've ever made... It's... little Alex Horne!

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt what a man is. A man sits watching the golf, stands around topless at the side of a road, doesn't talk about his feelings often enough, and gets paid way too much before smacking a cow with a hammer. But, for now, we need to clap like lunatics one more time for tonight's winner, the brilliant Russell Howard. Well done to him! And thank you for watching. Good night!
