Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who recently told me he thinks that former heavyweight world champion boxer Anthony Joshua lost his title because of cowardice. And I quote, 'If I ever meet him at a TV event, I'm going to teach that pussy to dance.' It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? In these uncertain times of climate change and political unrest, a show like this should provide much-needed light relief. What none of us needed to hear tonight was... 'No, Ivo, there's no time to go into the kitchen!'.
