Taskmaster Intro

Thank you and thank you. This show is called Taskmaster, and my name is Greg Davies. Five very fine television and radio personalities have been completing my tasks for various reasons. There's the nominal fee, the massive exposure, and most importantly, the chance to win this gilded duplication of my massive, chiselled noddle. So, let's get on and meet them.

Assistant Intro

And here, moping around like a lost tear in an ocean of wretchedness... Ooh! Who is it?! It's... little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that when Britain finally sets sail and leaves the EU, we'll know, because the road signs will say, "London to Brighton, 390,000 lobsters." And we've learnt that Tim Vine won the episode. Who could possibly forget that? Now, you. Get down there. I'll show you what sturdy is. Join us next time. Goodbye!
