Taskmaster Intro

Welcome! Welcome, everyone. I'm Greg Davies. This is Taskmaster. We reach the halfway point at the end of today's show, then the downhill race begins, as five people hurtle towards the ultimate career goal of becoming a Taskmaster champion. They can't aim any higher than that, because the next rung on the ladder is the position of Taskmaster himself, and for that they'll have to wait, because my doctor tells me that if I continue with my current lifestyle, I'm going to live for up to four more years.

Assistant Intro

And now for a man I hate... Oh, I'm sorry, that is the wrong word. And now for a boy with wonky teeth that I hate. It's... little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

What have we learned today? We've learned that if Quentin Tarantino is running out of ideas for his next violent film, he only needs to get a bottle of ketchup and call Paul Sinha's agent. He goes... "Buh-boh, boh, buh!" But also we've learned that Iain Stirling has won! Well done again to him, and I look forward to seeing you next time. I really do! Goodbye!
