Taskmaster Intro

Hello. I'm Greg Davies, and welcome to Taskmaster. There are just two shows left now, only two opportunities for our five famous foes to accumulate enough points to become the new Taskmaster champion. Soon, one of them will be able to hold aloft my golden trophy and proudly proclaim, 'l have won this prize. OK, so, in doing so, I have rendered myself unemployable within my chosen field. Sure, my partner has had a rethink and gone to live at their mum's for a while. But this trophy, this victory, is mine.' So, let's hear it for those vying for this honour for the penultimate time.

And sitting next to me like a saveloy that's been tossed around by a moulting dog. He's hairy, but full of flavour. Your very own... little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? We've learnt that to every person, home has a different meaning. To a lighthouse keeper and Mawaan, home is a tall, cylindrical building that warns ships at sea of imminent danger during a storm. To Daisy May Cooper, it's any old pile of rubbish with a hole in the middle, where she lives. Time to get ready for the grand final but now, let's allow tonight's winner their moment once more. It's Richard Herring!
