Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most satisfying thing you could use as a jelly mould, place something somewhere surprising, create new bodies and become a dynamic duo with Alex, give Patatas the elixir, and play a game of word chess.

Title context

Jason Mantzoukas refers to Alex Horne’s legs as “getaway sticks” at the start of the ‘Create new bodies and become a dynamic duo with Alex’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello! Welcome, welcome to Taskmaster. I'm Greg Davies, and for a man my age, I'm as fly as they come. We're at the penultimate stage of a competition that will go down in history as being so unimportant that I doubt any of us that are involved will even have marked graves. That said, we're here now, so let's make an effort.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man that went to private school and genuinely doesn't like people knowing that. It's Little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

It's the final next, but for now there's just one winner, and it's Jason Mantzoukas!
