    Assistant Intro

    And to my left, the answer to the question "What does a corpse look like after the hair continues to grow post-mortem?". It's... Little Alex Horne!

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that in the unlikely event that Morrissey sees sense and reforms the seminal '80s band The Smiths, they need look no further for their album cover than this. But, at the end of the fourth episode, there is just one winner, and that winner is Jenny Eclair.

    Note: When Greg refers to the album cover, a monochrome still of Ivo Graham sat in the caravan with his head in his hands during the 'Task bingo' task is displayed, with the words 'IVO GRAHAM I'll Sit In The Shed' superimposed on it.
