Episode 1: Sometimes spit

Episode synopsis

In this series premiere, the contestants must bring in the object that most reminds them of school (in a good way), pour all of their vinegar into a fish tank, do something really cool backwards, win the Pealympics, and get the most raisins into their wine glass.

Title context

Alex Horne claims that he has been known to “Sometimes spit”, when asked by Jason Mantzoukas what cool things he does, during the ‘Do something really cool backwards’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, thank you. I’m Greg Davies. Welcome to this brand-new series of Taskmaster. I have never felt so full of hope. The tasks are new, the contestants are new. And whilst I was enjoying my single origin espresso this morning, they were being shaved down and put through our 12-point hygiene programme, ready for battle. So they all smell just great... for now. So let’s meet the new recruits, ready to risk it all to take home daddy’s golden head… ‘Daddy’s golden head of destiny’ is a sentence I forgot I wrote.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who is a lifelong supporter of Liverpool Football Club, and tells me that the only downside to that is meeting the other fans, who he finds to be universally stupid and physically disgusting. It’s little Alex Horne!
