Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the thing that is nicest to open, work out what Alex has on top of his head, capture a classic family home video moment, teach Alex a lesson he’ll never forget, and not be the one to blow the last thing off the table.

Title context

Jason Mantzoukas says “Oh, whatever it is, it’s got to be obsolete.” while mocking Alex Horne’s choice to study Latin and Greek at Cambridge University, during the ‘Teach Alex a lesson he’ll never forget’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

I’m Greg Davies, and welcome to Taskmaster. It’s episode six, and, unlike any of the meals my mother served me throughout my childhood, things are really hotting up. They’ve proved themselves to be resilient, clever, and, unlike any of the food fed to me up until the age of 18, they have just the right amount of spice. Even some salt would’ve helped, for god’s sake, old woman. Put some salt in! It tastes of nothing!

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who told me privately that for him, sex is like Christmas: once a year, and involves the death of a turkey. It’s little Alex Horne!
