Episode 9: The Bubble Brothers

Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the most pleasing cat-sized thing, make the biggest bubble and burst it with their nose, perform a number from the Taskmaster musical, make a plastic bag as heavy as possible, and hold the most points above the ground. Also, Tim Vine makes an outfit out of stationery, and the others try to guess what pun he will make.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that if you're looking for somewhere to hang your jacket, then hang it on Tim Vine's jacket! And of course, we should once again applaud tonight's fantastic winner, Alice Levine! Mega congratulations to her. Good night, everyone, and we'll see you next time for the final!
