Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Hello, thank you. If you like seeing an overweight, middle aged man getting high on power, dishing out judgements, and shrieking and clapping like an elephant bull seal, you've come to the right place! Welcome to Taskmaster! There are five competitors waiting over there, emitting the distinctive smell of fear.

And, sitting next to me... Here he is, some crumbs in his beard dating back to the 90s... It's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learned today? We've learned that beware of Little Alex Horne when he comes looking for a cuddle. He doesn't want a cuddle at all! The filthy little ferret's just trying to get you to suck his finger. But most importantly we've learned Katy Wix came out on top, and has proven herself the very best! Well done, Katy Wix!
