Photo of a sprig of grape stems suspended from the ceiling with both grapes and olives attached to it, as well as a small red heart and a label with the number '63' on it (referencing the 'Find out what number Alex has written down', 'Make a love heart with your team', and 'Win the horse race' tasks), with the episode title, 'Hey mate', superimposed on it.

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the most gorgeous birthday gift ever, find out what number Alex has written down with only 20 questions, make a love heart with their team-mates, win a horse race by doing things involving olives and grapes, and deceive the Taskmaster about what they’ve written on their form. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants then have to remove their shower caps by inflating a balloon.

Title context

Phil Ellis wastes valuable time during his 10-second voice message to Sanjeev Bhaskar during the ‘Make a love heart with your team’ task by starting with the phrase “Hey mate”.

Taskmaster Intro

Yes, hello! Welcome to Taskmaster, the show that is as meaningful as an old man sweeping up autumnal leaves only to have them blown across the garden overnight. And yet, five people want to take part. Why? Ego? A competitive streak? Well, according to a chat I just had in the green room with one of the competitors, it's no more complicated than an unhappy home life. Let's play on and welcome them.

Assistant Intro

And next to me, a man who once told me that there isn't a single presenter in the ITV daytime schedule that he hasn't thought about when having solo fun time... it's little Alex Horne!

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? Well, we've learnt that, no matter what happens, no matter who it ha– [PHONE RINGS] So sorry… Hello? Yeah, yeah. Phwoar. Phwoar, yeah. Yeah. Oh, defo. Absolutely, yeah. Later, though. I'm at work. I told you. You can't ring me at work. Whoa! Alex's mum. But, more importantly, let's celebrate our winner. It's Ania!
