Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Hello! Here we go, then. Welcome to the series 14 Taskmaster grand final! I'm Greg Davies, and right now, I'm so high on adrenaline, I could jump over a car! What a series we've had. What a cast. What memories. In many ways, I'm sad to see them go. But if this being over means there's half a chance that I'll stop singing 'Me Fern Brady, Me Fern Brady' in my head all day, every day, then good riddance to all of them! Very soon, one of them will lift aloft this golden effigy of my delicious head, and become Taskmaster champion - and realise in that moment that, like the trophy they hold, the victory is truly hollow. So, let us meet the legends for the last time.
