Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best thing they've ever received in the post, hold two milk bottles above two microwaves, reach the end of two lanes in the same amount of time, strike a bullseye with some paint, and paint a unicorn using a 'head brush'.

Title context

A 'long-legged lobster', is what Greg Davies likens Munya Chawawa's painted unicorn to, in the 'Paint a unicorn using your head brush' task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello. Good evening to you, and a warm welcome to Taskmaster or, as my nan calls it, 'What, that silly thing you do where you pretend you're cross because a comedian hasn't counted some ducks properly or something?'. Get lost, Nan, you haven't even seen it! You've been dead for 15 years! You're such a chopsy nan. Why can't you just say, 'Ooh!?'. Have they not got a ghost knitting club?! Back in this dimension, things are going well for some and really badly for others. Please welcome our earthly five who are still alive.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who dots the 'I's and crosses the 'T's. He wets the bed, he likes to please. He cries a lot, his winkle smells. And he still shoplifts to get attention. It's... little Alex Horne!
