Episode synopsis

Taskmaster Intro

Hello and welcome to another chapter in the tale of Taskmaster. I am your narrator, Greg Davies. Now, this head needs a new owner, and these are the only five people on the planet capable of claiming it.

And, splatted all over the chair next to me, is the rancorous pustule of a human being that happens to be very good at Microsoft Excel... It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So what have we learnt today? We've learnt that whatever has happened at work - you might've had an argument with your boss, you might've fallen off a stage - at least none of you have felt anywhere near as angry as this [image shown of James Acaster's pissed-off face]. And Rhod Gilbert won, of course. Sensational skills, a triumph of humanity. Episode eight next. Have a nice little rest and we'll see you there. Bye!
