Taskmaster Intro

Hello, everybody, and welcome to Taskmaster. The road to Taskmaster victory is long. There are many hurdles, physically and psychologically. Different individuals respond in different ways, and sometimes, on-camera, there are those that seem not to care at all how well they do. But do not be fooled. One of them came to my dressing room last night, hot tears streaming down their face, 'I want this more than I've ever wanted anything before. I want to make my family proud. Please, Greg. Please don't take this from me, please.' Now, I would never reveal that person's identity, but I'll say this: Chin up, you're doing fine. And don't be silly - of course you'll be able to show your face in Scotland again. Let's meet them all now.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who smells his own farts using what he describes as his 'guff-and-cup system'. It's... little Alex Horne!
