Episode 2: The world's sweetest cousin

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must: make an older family member hang up on them; write a one-minute, one-person play; perform someone else’s one-minute, one-person play; find an image of their own hand; pop 99 red balloons; and throw a series of items into a bucket.

Title context

The episode title is not a direct quote of anything said during the episode, but is a reference to Tobias Dybvad’s cousin’s willingness to help him move house, as revealed during the ‘Make an older family hang up on you’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Good evening, and welcome to Stormester. Who wouldn’t dream of basking in my affection? It could be one of these folks.

Assistant Intro

By my side, as always, is my loyal assistant, Mark le Fêvre.

Episode prize

The prize in this episode is a statue created by Puk Elgård, which she has titled “Halvt Hund, Halvt Menneske” (‘Half Dog, Half Human’), as it is an amalgamation of her dog Alba’s face with her own.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

With all respect for Puk Elgård’s ceramic abilities, horror movies have started with less threatening artefacts than the artwork that was on the line tonight. If you just tuned in, you missed everything. Come back next week. Thank you and good night.
