Episode 1: The chassis, the wings

Episode synopsis

In this first episode of the series, the fresh batch of contestants must bring in the most jaw-dropping item, figure out the titles of 10 movies while wearing a box on their heads, land toilet roll in a toilet from a height, create the best picture of a bird by shouting birds and fish, and load up a see-saw with their clothing without popping a balloon.

Title context

'The chassis, the wings' was uttered by John Kearns while describing his finely-crafted toilet paper aeroplane, during the 'Land loo roll in the loo' task.

Alternate Titles

• On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Runko, siivet', which translates as 'The chassis, the wings'. [Translator credit: zador]
• On Sweden's SVT Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Film, fåglar och toarullar', which translates as 'Film, birds and toilet rolls'. This is a reference to the 'What ten films are you in?', 'Create the best picture of a bird', and 'Land loo roll in the toilet' tasks.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who recently confided in me, when drunk, that before bed each night, his wife puts talcum powder on his rear end and special area, in what he described to me as his 'night-night bot-bot powder party'. It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

A new series has begun. See you next time. But, for now, well done again to our first winner, Sarah Millican.
