Episode 7: Drier than you think, chalk

Episode synopsis

In this episode, the contestants must bring in the best thing you can either ride or rip, steal a statue of Archimedes, dribble a technicolour picture of their hero, score exactly 63 points by bopping Alex on the head, and avoid the Taskmaster’s big golden ball.

Title context

Phil Ellis observes “Drier than you think, chalk” during his attempt at the ‘Dribble a technicolour picture of your hero’ task.

Taskmaster Intro

Hello, there. I’m Greg Davies. Welcome to Taskmaster. They say it’s not the winning that counts, it’s the taking part, and if you’re a child watching the pre-watershed version of this show, I’m here to tell you an uncomfortable truth: you’re being told that, because you’re not good enough. That’s the kids sorted. Now... let’s see if we can break some adults.

Assistant Intro

And, next to me, a man who secretly told me – and I really must distance myself from comments like this – that he thinks that women are like electric vehicles: really good as long as they’re not in charge. It’s little Alex Horne.

Taskmaster's Sign-off

So, what have we learnt today? Well, this is a stressful world, guys. It’s full of technology, industry and noise. It’s important to get away from it all, head to the glorious, English countryside, be at one with nature, and just let the wildlife speak to you.
