Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most extraordinary picture, be the most impressive load-bearer, take the most dramatic photo of themselves in mid-air, tie themselves to the bed, and park a series of vehicles in some parking bays.

Title context

Greg uses the phrase “Snooker cue umbrella chin” when referring to Nick Mohammed’s attempt at the ‘Be the most impressive load-bearer’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hi, hello, welcome. Welcome to Taskmaster, a show that if my social media communications are anything to go by, attracts sociopathic nerds who mistakenly believe they have the right to reply. As do the following five task titans.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who on a night out recently confided in me about his theory that strength of regional accent is directly related to lack of intelligence. Don't shoot the messenger... shoot little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt from today's show? Well, we all know that life has its ups and its downs. Everybody has their struggles. But whatever you’ve been through, whatever you’re going through, do remember... things could always be worse.

Note: As Greg finishes saying this, the image of Paul McCaffrey brought in by John Robins as his prize task submission is again displayed on the screen.
