Title context

Taskmaster Intro

Kia ora koutou katoa, and welcome to Taskmaster. My name is Jeremy Wells, and I believe it was a young carpenter from Nazareth who once said, ‘Do not judge others, and God will not judge you.’ And to that I say, leave me alone, Jesus, for I am the Taskmaster. Tonight, these five clowns, jesters, and downright desperadoes will perform a series of tasks hoping to impress me and get their hands on this.

Note: ‘Kia ora koutou katoa’ is Māori for ‘Hello everyone’.

Assistant Intro

And here on my left is my right-hand man. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Paul Williams!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

Another episode down, and we’ve learnt more than ever before. We’ve learnt never to assume the end of the task. We learned that fat might be one ingredient in soap, but probably shouldn’t be the only ingredient. And most importantly, we’ve learnt that Tom Sainsbury is the winner of episode seven! See you next time. Ka kite ano.
