Episode 1: It just goes and goes

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must improvise lyrics about themselves to the Taskmaster theme tune, reinvent the wheel, protect some popcorn from David, dunk a biscuit without it breaking, make some fruit and vegetables the same colour, find out what they have in common with a blind date, and stick a pickle to a bullseye.

Title context

Charlotta Björck uses the phrase “It just goes and goes” in her lyrics in the ‘Improvise lyrics about yourself to the Taskmaster theme tune’ task, in which she focuses mainly on her irritable bowels.

Assistant Intro

We’ve moved to a new channel, so we'd hoped for some upgrades... But no, we’re still at square one in that regard. Because here we are, growing old together, David Sundin!

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is a very large box of popcorn (100 litres in volume), in reference to the ‘Protect the popcorn’ task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Well, we’ve learned that Johan’s drunk medical alcohol, that Charlotta has stomach problems, and that it takes a great deal to keep David from his popcorn.
