Episode 9: Fagin at the disco

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the bit of old crap that the Taskmaster likes the best, complete a ride-on sweeper rally, make the best gift for the Taskmaster, feed cards to a clown bin, and pass an exam about Alex’s parade.

Title context

During the ‘Make a gift for the Taskmaster’ task, Sam – inspired by the sight of Greg in the coat Susan Wokoma had made for him – describes Greg as looking like “Fagin at a disco”. Fagin is the leader of the child thieves in the novel Oliver Twist, and is often portrayed in a long, ratty coat.

Alternate Titles

• On Norway's Discovery+ Norge streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Fagin på diskoteket', which translates as 'Fagin at the disco'. Note: this Norwegian translation of the title only appears in the subtitles for the episode, whereas the episode title listed on the platform is the original English title.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, the answer to the question, ‘Which well-known presenter does little plops in the toilet like the ones you’d expect to see from a sheep?’ It’s Little Alex Horne!
