Hello!
And welcome to that Taskmaster show.
It's only episode two, so, as things are still fresh and exciting,
let's press on and enjoy it while it lasts.
Your five champion candidates are Iain Stirling,
Joe Thomas,
Lou Sanders,
Paul Sinha
and Sian Gibson!
And, here, a man whose name you never hear before the words
"scrubs up well",
it's little Alex Horne!
Hit me!
Well, you wouldn't want me to because I've been going to the gym.
Yeah?
Early days, still, but it's tough because I want to use the machines
and you know it says on them you've got to read
all the instructions first?
I've been going four months, still doing that, still doing that.
This is the rowing machine one. Yep.
Five different languages.
This is the drinks machine. Yep.
Because you should...you should read them.
You did plan this and it's just...
It's just... There's a fundamental
difference between what Alex and I find funny.
Yeah.
I'm happy to be outvoted, but, to be outvoted,
you'd need to laugh.
ONE PERSON LAUGHS
See?
On we go! Let's get the prize task happening, please.
This week we've asked them to bring in the best pair of things.
The winner at the end of the episode will go home with not five
but ten whole things!
That's a lot of things.
Sian?
Erm, I've got a pair of, erm, Shirley Bassey's pop socks.
Shut up. Real?
Seriously, seriously.
I'm 98% sure they're hers.
98? That's an interesting percentage.
The ones you brought in are there.
What's the 98%?
Why are you almost sure
they're Shirley Bassey's?
So, I went to see a concert that Shirley Bassey was at.
I went backstage, passed her dressing room and, erm,
she'd gone. She'd long gone. Ah...
I went in, they were on the floor.
Yeah. I don't know whose else they could be.
Well, I did some research.
I wrote to Dame Shirley, but I got an e-mail back
from Dame Shirley Bassey's PA in Monaco. Lovely.
"Unfortunately it's impossible to confirm. So, it would be most
"unusual that we would have a pair of pop socks in the dressing room,
"so my instinct is that they are not belonging to Dame Shirley."
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Well, whose are they?
I think you're lying.
Well, there we go, that's the first one. Who's next?
Er, yeah, Dame Joe Thomas.
What pair of things did you bring in?
I brought a pair of diamond earrings.
There we go.
There they are. There they are.
That's a prize. A pair of earrings is failure route one,
but if they're sufficiently valuable... Yeah, well, don't worry.
..then you could be looking at a pretty sweet position, here.
Hope so because they are valuable.
Well, how much were they?
I think they were...they were...they were £2,735.
OK, well, I know for a fact that Alex knows how much they were.
How much were they, Alex?
Well, it says, the description, weirdly, "100% brand-new."
IAIN: So, you know they're good!
"High quality alloy."
£2.21, that's for the pair.
Well, that's rubbish, last place.
Iain Stirling, can you beat a rubbish pair of earrings?
Hopefully.
So, when you said to pair, to me, I immediately thought double act.
And who are the most famous double act on television?
Erm, Morecambe and Wise.
Dick and Dom, correct.
In Da Bungalow, the gritty BAFTA award-winning television show.
Yep.
So I have got a song, if you will, from Dick and Dom
to the winner of tonight's episode of Taskmaster.
Yes, here it is.
# Well, you ran around and you did some tasks and you did whatever
# Greg Davies asked
# Iain Stirling called us to write this song
# So congratulations from Dick and Dom.
# Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. #
AUDIENCE APPLAUSE
Oi, oi, oi, oi!
On the set of their new train station show.
Dick and Dom's combined age is the same as the Dalai Lama.
Wow.
Dom's 21, Dick is 62.
Incredible. OK...
Er, Lou?
Er, we'll wait to see it.
OK.
So, it's a pair of breasts on slippers.
What's nicer than slippers and breasts listening to music!
Well, hello, you've got all three, OK?
Right. Do they come with the radios, is that...?
I just got an elastic band and just popped that round.
You just added those radios yourself?
I did that.
It's a lovely reminder of childhood, listening to crackly radio
while you snuggle up to your mum's feet tits.
Well, there's one person left. Do you want to move on to Paul? Yeah.
This was a house-warming gift from my mum and dad,
who go on more holidays than I do
because they, sort of, invested well,
and...
..in 2002, I bought my first home and they presented me with the most
wonderful house-warming gift that they picked up
from their holiday to China.
Here it is.
There are lots of reasons to love your mum and dad.
The best reason is they cannot see anything in this picture
that everybody else can see with their...
I mean, it's a really disturbing picture.
I'm going to give some points out really quickly. OK.
Are you ready? Yes.
Surprise, surprise, one point for the super cheap hearings.
I mean... Joe Thomas. Thank you very much.
I really love that panda picture, so I'm going to give Dick and Dom
and the panda picture four points.
Three points to Lou and five points to Sian...
..because I believe they're Shirley Bassey's pop socks.
Right, come on then, what's happening now?
Er, we've got a task, and, sneakily,
this one involves disguising a disguise.
Oh, this is fancy.
A clue, isn't it?
"Put something on your face that looks like a moustache
"from a long distance away..."
"..but when you get up close, you realise it's something
"completely different to what you thought."
"You have ten minutes to plan your moustache
"and ten further minutes to make your moustache."
"Most unexpected moustache wins.
"Your time starts now."
Your time starts now!
Erm, I'll start...I'll start...
..planning. I'll just plan here, at the table.
Do you understand the task? I do understand the task, yeah,
you make a...
I think you want something with small detail.
I'm channelling Father Christmas, so I want something white,
like a baby mouse?
Oh, I don't want a dead...I don't want a dead mouse on my face.
But do you want a live mouse? No, I don't. Don't. Scrap that.
It's just hard to get away from ants, I mean, it's really...
How many ants?
Well, you know, 50.
50 really good ones.
Sometimes my mind is not my friend.
What were you thinking of this time, Lou?
Pubes!
Please don't put that in the show.
OK, well, the way it's going to work is this, Greg.
You're going to look at the moustache from a distance,
then you have to guess what you think it actually is. OK.
The most unexpected moustache wins.
We're to find out who is the "Tachemaster".
Ready?
Man...
OK, let's go.
OK, here's Lou and Iain first.
OK. Iain Stirling.
Well, I can only tell you what I see, and what I see
is a small, cut-out picture of a Vulcan bomber.
And I think that Lou has cut out the mouth section
of a teddy bear.
OK.
We will now zoom in, here we go.
So, fake flies... Fake flies.
..and real mealworms.
Real mealworms.
Absolutely disgusting.
And then we have Iain's.
Yep.
So, it's a map of a large village in Hampshire called Liphook.
Liphook, cos it's on his lip.
Yep, and a little picture of Iain as well.
That's me on the map.
Yeah, go on, who's next?
Oh, wait, you could have discussed it a bit! No. There was a pun.
It's the Liphook thing's annoyed me.
OK, Greg, what do you think they've got on their upper lips?
Hmm... Hmm.
Joe, genuinely what I see
is the novelty Doctor Who assistant, K9.
For younger people,
K9 was a really terrible robot dog.
Yeah.
That's what I think it is.
OK.
And nothing will change my mind.
OK.
Sian, I think it is the headless body of a toy cow
is what I think it is.
A Jersey. OK, a cow carcass.
Yeah.
Well, here is the detail.
It's something, isn't it?
It's something.
It's a few moustaches. Mansell, Gooch, Selleck.
I don't know, Joe, I quite like the fact that you've got
lots of moustaches together and they're celebrity moustaches.
It doesn't make me as angry as I thought it might. OK. Oh, OK.
And Sian. Sian.
It's hair from a Barbie.
It's Barbie hair and Alex's face.
OK.
Are you pleased with that?
Not really.
You should have written "Liphook" in the hair.
The most surprising moustache, a moustache.
I know. It's madness to think that you could possibly
come below that.
Right, order! Order!
And now for some adverts.
Hello and welcome back to Taskmaster!
Alex, what was going on just a few minutes ago?
Well, before the break, we were feasting our eyes
on the hairy upper lips of our patrons.
Yes, they've been making moustaches that look like moustaches
from a distance but, up close, they're something different altogether.
Now it's time to see Paul Sinha!
Ooh! Wow.
Pretty good!
That, to me, looks like a magnificent moustache.
It can't be because that's the game!
It's not a moustache.
What would he do?
What would the Sinha man do?
It's got to be, in another language, the word "moustache" has got to mean
something, and it'll be that.
I suppose so.
I haven't got a clue, he's absolutely stumped me.
OK, this is what's going on on Paul's top lip.
What is it?
It's just an infection.
Come on, Alex, what is it, caviar?
Yeah, sturgeon eggs. Fish eggs? Yeah.
I mean, it's, er, it's a work of genius.
Can I also point out that caviar is stuck to my lip with glue
and, whenever it was falling off, I'd go, "Ooh, that's delicious
"caviar"? I'd forget that it was covered in glue, so I had serious
diarrhoea for three days afterwards.
So, let's award some points. OK.
In last place, Sian, because unfortunately Sian used real hair.
One point to Sian then, obviously, Liphook's shit.
That gets two points, it doesn't deserve them. Two points for Iain.
Three points, just because it didn't look like a moustache
from a distance, although I quite like the multiple moustaches, Joe.
Oh! Four points because, you know, it's just a horrible,
twisted monster.
Which one? Er, Lou.
OK.
And, five points, obviously I'm going to give it to the caviar king,
Paul Sinha. Paul Sinha!
So, what's that done to the scores, Alex?
Well, I'm afraid Joe is at the bottom of the leaderboard
with four, then we have Sian with six, Iain with six,
Lou with seven, but Paul is the leader with nine points!
Hurray!
Right. Next one, then, please.
Ooh, and look, it's rice time.
Is it rice o'clock?
It's rice already.
Hiya. Oh, hi, there, Lou.
Alex. Hello, Joe.
OK. Oh, right, OK.
I'm enjoying the eyebrows. Well, you know, what do you expect?
Oh, you've been shopping?
I have, yes.
OK. "Get this rice..."
Oh, I love, erm, I love food.
"Get this rice into the bottle..."
"..in the living room."
"You may only use the shopping basket and its contents to transport
"and deliver the rice."
"You may not touch the rice with anything other
"than the shopping basket and its contents."
"You may not take the bottle out of the living room.
"The most grains in the bottle wins.
"You have ten minutes and you're time starts..."
"..now."
Right. Oh, no! OK.
Very good, sounds pretty straightforward.
Transport the rice without touching the rice. Yes. Very nice.
That's it. There's 21,000 grains of rice, same as the population
of the Orkney Islands, so if you imagine you're trying
to get all the inhabitants off the Orkney Islands... Yep.
..you can only use stuff that's washed up on the beach. Right.
There's been a problem, the island's got too hot.
Am I popping them in a bottle? I'm putting them in a bottle.
Yeah, you've got to get them into a bottle on the mainland. OK.
Who's first?
We're going to look at two of my top five contestants this year -
it's Sian Gibson and Joe Thomas. Lovely.
So, that goes in there, and then...
Right, I've got an idea.
Hold on.
SHE CHOKES
That didn't work. That didn't work.
So, I've got a bit of...
..tape.
I mean, that's, like...
Right, I've got another one, I've got another one. OK.
Erm...
There must be some...
Oh!
Can I get tools from anywhere else, or...?
Does it say you can't?
It doesn't, er...
Where's the...? Where is it?
Do you know, like, if you can siphon water
by sucking and blowing... OK.
..through a pipe.
Does my mouth count?
If my mouth touches rice?
Erm, I think so.
Oh, shit.
OK.
That's not... Ah! That's Mango, isn't it? That's different.
Different to...?
It's different to a bowl, erm...
Oh, my God! I don't know what to do!
Right.
That's a little bit of rice.
Through we go.
OK, where's this jar?
I think I've got this now.
One more trip.
So sorry, someone's going to have to get the Hoover out.
OK. What would you do with the breadsticks?
There's a bit of rice in that bottle.
You didn't say in. There's some on.
On? OK.
On the bottle.
OK, well, thank you, Sian,
I'm going to count the grains of rice. Bye-bye, Sian.
You did very well, Joe.
Well, there's certainly some bad news for the residents
of the Orkney Islands, isn't there?
I mean, Sian, we all know that if you suck water
through a hose, I don't know what the scientific reason
for the water will keep flowing on its own, do you? I think it's just lucky.
It's just lucky. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, did you really think you could get the same effect with rice?
Yes.
If you suck a bit of rice, the rest will follow?
It's madness!
I think we can safely say I failed that, didn't we?
Oh, God, yeah.
Well, Sian transported 28% of the grains of rice.
Joe, did you save some Orkney islanders?
Oh, my God, yeah, I wouldn't let those...those guys down.
He saved 18,000 Orkney islanders.
Imagine that. 85%. Yeah. Of the island? Of the island.
Pretty good.
So, Greg, are we gonna move on? Yeah.
Probably worth remembering the very clear and simple rules. Yep.
Number one, you may not touch the rice with anything other
than the shopping basket and its contents. One.
And, number two, you may not take the bottle out of the living room.
Otherwise, you just go and get the bottle, scoop up the rice
in any old thing and put it in the bottle.
Yes, and that wouldn't really be a task, would it?
That would just be you putting some rice in a bottle.
Who's next?
It's Paul.
Here you go.
Didn't go so well.
I think there might be a more practical way of doing this.
Well, that's not as hollow as I was hoping, I'll be honest with you.
TAKES A BIG SLURPING BITE
Let me get some into the bowl.
There's always a bloody trick
in the question, isn't there?
Nowhere did it say you couldn't
bring the bottle in here.
"You may not take the bottle out of the living room."
WHISTLE BLOWS
Thank you, Paul.
Didn't do too badly this time.
It's a very rare treat on a television programme
to see someone lose their job
on a different television programme.
It's the end of part two.
Not long now until someone wins Lou's slip-on boobs
and Shirley Bassey's pop socks.
Exciting.
Now fan me!
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
It is the start of part three.
Oh, it really is, isn't it? Mm.
The current task involves using mangoes, breadsticks, honey,
a comb, straws, a pumice stone, sticky tape, Blu-Tack or a balloon
to transport as much rice as possible into a bottle
in another room.
We've seen Joe and Sian do that and
Paul do something completely different.
Finally, it's Lou, which is short for Lou Sanders, and Iain Stirling.
The main thing is just not to panic
and just to do this logically.
"You may not touch the rice with anything other
"than the shopping basket and its contents."
Erm...
Right, yeah?
That's a carry pot.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm out of ideas.
Not touching.
Is this timed? Yes, you've got six minutes left.
All right. In she goes.
I've had a bit of an idea.
It ain't half sticky, is it?
How many minutes left?
Three minutes and 50 seconds.
Please, baby...
We are flying!
Come on, boy!
You are a genius, Stirling.
Look at that steady flow.
WHISTLE BLOWS
I'm quite pleased with that, actually.
When I first saw Lou's elasto-glove system,
I thought that Sian was off the hook.
And yet, incredible. Incredible from both of them, really.
Mm, she cleaned the jar, that's the key. That's the key.
Yeah. A woman.
A better woman.
I mean, I was just genuinely impressed. Yeah.
Her plan was to empty the honey into a bowl so that other people
could eat it, which is very nice, whereas Iain, instantly, straight
on the floor.
Chucked it out, but he wanted to save people.
I don't like food waste.
No.
I don't like people on the Orkney Islands dying.
Lou saved all, I would say, all the men and all the women,
and just left the children.
79%.
So, points-wise, Paul is either one or zero.
He broke the rules, no points.
No points to Paul.
I'm not complaining whatsoever. I utterly deserve it.
No, of course, you're a reasonable man. Thank you, Paul.
Let's give Paul a... Let's give him a bonus point.
AUDIENCE CHEERS
Sian, two points for saving 28%.
Happy with that.
Iain saved 74%, gets three points.
Lou saved 79%, gets four points,
but Joe is the winner, saving 85% of them, getting five points!
Yes. Wow
Another one, please.
Good idea and it's team time!
Hiya! Oh, hello, Sian.
Hello, Paul. Good morning, Alex.
Please don't touch that just yet.
Ah.
Good Lord. Ah!
You got my order.
Hello. Why are you in your dressing gown?
Little treasure chest. Go on, sorry.
Nothing. Hiya. Oh, sorry.
Am I, er...interrupting?
Oh, hello! Hello, hi. All right?
Oh, you've got a cup of tea. Yeah, yeah, I have.
How are you doing? I'm all right, thanks, and you?
Yeah, I'm all right, yeah, yeah, not too bad.
Who's that?
Sian, you can open the task.
OK.
Right.
"Tell your team-mates what is in this chest."
"Your team-mate must not see what is in the chest.
"After reading the task out, you may not speak again
"until the task is over."
"In the first minute, you may only use facial expressions."
"In the second minute, you may only make noises."
"In the third minute, you may only shout adjectives.
"From then on, you may only whisper verbs.
"Fastest correct communication wins."
"Your time starts..."
Are you ready? I'm ready.
"..now."
That's weird, innit?
I'm just a weird guy. Just a weird guy.
I mean, I was initially going to focus on your meeting
being the most awkward
and then... Can we show his face again?
Oh, why?!
I mean, that to me is the face of someone who's watching a human
transform into a lizard or something.
I mean, what the hell? What were you doing?!
You're going to have to wait, you're going to have to wait and see.
It's the other team first, I'm afraid. Oh, God, OK.
It's the fun guys. It's Iain, Lou and Paul.
Just facial expressions, please.
Er... Erm, we can't see your facial...
Superman?
Erm, the sun?
It's like the sun, er...
A torch?
Your face is staying very the same.
Erm, oh! Morning, morning.
Morning, staring, focusing.
Sunshine. Glasses.
It's something to do with...
Oh! The view, the view, the view.
A picture of the view?
Hope!
Just noises now, please, Paul, noises.
PAUL MAKES "MM" NOISES
A gag.
A ball gag. Hill!
Yes.
Sunrise, sunset?
Sunrise, sunset.
It's a bit like sunrise, sunset. Just noises, please, just noises.
The Mooncup.
Any other noises apart from "mm"?
Daybreak? Hormones?
Is it hormones?
Please shout some adjectives.
Directional!
Compass! Yes, well done.
Stop the clock. Well done, team.
I was pointing out that thing on the wall, looking at that thing
on the wall. Oh...
A few guesses. Yeah, interesting.
So, Paul was allowed initially to use only facial expressions
but he opted for one facial expression.
That's my acting range, Greg. Yep.
And then you were allowed to only use noises
and you opted for "mm"?
Some of Lou's suggestions for what
was in the box were interesting.
"Morning".
"Hope".
She also said "the Mooncup".
A Mooncup. Do you know what a Mooncup is?
At a special time of the month, it collects your menstrual blood.
Menstrual fluid.
And it's very economical for the environment and the wallet.
And she thought we put it in the chest.
The old menstrual Mooncup.
"Mm, mm."
Menstrual Mooncup.
I'd like to see the other team.
OK, well, they got two minutes and four seconds.
Here come the actors - Joe and Sian.
OK, ah...
Obviously looking around, up, er...
Is it to do with tennis?
What is it? Forehead?
You think there's a forehead in the chest?
Er, well...is it to do with the face?
You may now make noises.
I'm terribly sorry. Just noises, please.
That was awful from me. Erm...
Just noises.
Mm.
Mm, mm.
Mm. Mm.
I wish I knew what that was.
Up, down, left, right.
Erm... Just noises.
Compass?
It's compass!
Ah!
That is... Wow! I mean, tell you what, I tell you what,
well done.
You used the same noise system as Paul, interestingly.
Not opening your mouth at all.
"Mm?"
It's the universal noise for compass.
OK, here we go, Sian and Joe can have three points, Lou, Iain
and Paul can have two points each.
There we go. Sian and Jo, well done.
So, what do the current scores look like?
Well, you won't believe it, it's very surprising, there are only
two points separating first and last. Shut up.
Lou is in the lead with 13.
Whoa!
OK, here comes a massive splurge of adverts - sorry about that.
Hello, hope you had a nice nap, but wake up now! We're back on.
What's next, Alex?
Well, it's a task and it's this task.
Hello, mate.
Oh, hello, Lou.
Please stand this side of the rope. Sure.
Fuck it.
Good luck.
I'm, oh...
"Travel the furthest distance while making a constant noise
"with your mouth."
"You must start travelling in 30 seconds from now."
So, it's got to be a constant noise?
Yeah, I'm going to release you...
OK. ..in 25 seconds now.
I'm a bit out of breath, you see.
Any sort of noise with your mouth.
Not one breath, I can just make different breaths?
Well, as long as it's constant, as long as the noise doesn't...
"That sounds like a gap between them." Oh.
Furthest goes fastest, yeah?
Do you know what I mean?
You think the faster you go the further you go? Yeah. OK.
That's true, isn't it? OK.
You're going to be coming through here... But that's true, isn't it?
I'm going to release you in 15 seconds.
Can you just tell me that's true?
Any questions?
Not really.
Just briefly, why were you out of breath before you did the task?
The walk across the field.
I just walked across the field.
And I genuinely started reading the task and thought, "How have I got
"out of breath?
"I need to reassess everything."
Oh, listen, well, it's almost certainly
an underlying heart problem.
Erm, good!
Here are Paul Sinha and Iain Stirling, together forever.
I've never done this before. Have you not?
OK, well, here we go. Good luck.
Off you go.
A-a-ah...
IAIN BEATBOXES
..a-a-ah!
PAUL GETS OUT OF BREATH
IAIN CONTINUES BEATBOXING
HE STOPS BEATBOXING
Oh, have you stopped?
I got tired.
Sorry, I got tired as well.
Where did you stop?
Here.
On my...trousers.
You've got it on your leg!
You took a breath right at the...
Did I? ..the flag, yeah.
Why did you do that? Ran out...
Because I ran out of breath. Ran out of breath, you needed to breathe.
Yeah. Yeah. I have very poor vital capacity.
Yeah, no, yes, no, I saw that.
Oh, well, thank you. Bye.
IAIN BEATBOXES AGAIN
Bluh-bluh-bluh, rewind-ah!
"Very poor vital capacity". Yeah.
But how lovely to see one of the deleted scenes from
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
Played out for eight seconds!
Iain, you know, pretty funky attempt,
but that was not a continuous sound.
It was, yeah, the... Nope, it wasn't.
..the beat, in-between everything, there was the beat...
Oh, the silence between those beats? There wasn't any.
If it was a beat!
It sounded to me like you were saying "butter Gazza" over and over.
I was saying "boots and cats". Boots and cats.
That's how you do beatboxing. Is it? Boots and cats. Boots and cats.
THEY BEATBOX
Then you've got "ra-rewind".
Oh, that's so good. Mm.
There's no gaps in it, though.
Oh, there's definitely gaps.
Yeah, I've represented it as a waveform. Oh, of course you have.
It's always going!
No, those little bits are just atmospheric noise, I'm afraid.
But, you know, even though you're not going to get any points,
I mean, remember that?
Who's next?
It's the noisy athletes - Lou,
Jo and Sian.
Three, two, one.
E-e-e!
O-o-oh!
A-a-ah.
E-e-e! Hee-hee-hee!
Hee-hee-hee-hee!
Ooh!
SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH O-o-oh!
A-a-ah.
E-e-e!
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
Do you think you've got to there?
Yeah.
Was it constant?
Yeah.
Ooh...
SHE TAKES A BREATH
O-o-oh!
A-a-AH!
I can't run any more!
Have you just stopped, have you?
Yeah!
No breaks?
No.
What an annoying noise, really, from a nice girl.
JOE GURGLES
HE RUNS OUT OF BREATH
WHISTLE BLOWS
It's honestly...
..just dehumanising.
Bloody hell.
Again, you confound me, like, you know, you just look like
you're having a lovely time.
Just running in the wind, shouting,
and then you end it with a phrase
that I would expect to read in a novel about Russian Gulags.
It's not supposed to be dehumanising.
It's just a bit of fun!
And this is the second time that we've seen Sian clearly make
a mistake and then say, "No, I'm just carrying on anyway."
So, we'll start off with Sian and Lou, who both ran 38.1 metres
and 39.9 metres by Lou. Just ahead.
Paul ran for 22 metres.
That's one 20,000th of the Grand Canyon.
And 98 metres there for Joe.
That's the length of Big Ben, if it was on its side.
And then, finally, Iain,
the noise stopped there, after one metre.
One metre, there.
So it goes one point to Iain, two points to Paul, three points
to Sian, four points to Lou, five points to the howler, Mr Joe Thomas!
Lovely!
Very good. Right!
Up you go, right now, to the stage for the final task
of the show!
I'm very excited because I play an active part in this.
Yes, you do.
Perhaps you'd like to get someone to read out the task.
I've popped it on Joe Thomas's table today.
Well, let me, er...
Thanks. Thank you.
"Say a species of bird, eat a grape, then shout a competitor's name
"within five seconds of hearing your own name.
"If you fail to say a different species of bird, pop a grape
"in your mouth and shout a competitor's name within five
"seconds of hearing your own name,
"you will be eliminated.
"You must not say any bird that has previously been said
"during the task.
"Last remaining player wins."
What do we do with these?
You must pop them on because that torch is blinding.
And I'm starting with...
..Lou.
Grouse.
Paul. Swallow.
Lou. Erm, seagull.
Iain. Falcon.
Joe.
Nightingale, Sian.
Chaffinch...
..Paul!
Ptarmigan, Joe.
Woodcock.
Ian.
Ballaflew.
Lou.
Hen, Joe.
Blackbird, Ian.
Chicken...
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
So, a lot's gone on there.
We had hen and chicken, and then we had a Ballaflew.
I'm going to be honest with you, when I made that one up,
I didn't think the game was going to continue.
Are we allowed chicken? Yeah.
It's a different word. No, sorry, you're out.
Really sorry.
But Ballaflew was fine?! Yeah.
Let's play on, Alex.
OK. Your name, please, Greg.
Joe.
Manx shearwater.
Sian.
Whoa!
Duckling.
ALARM GOES OFF
OK, we've lost Sian.
We've lost Sian. Oh!
Sorry. Paul, it's with you, sir.
Penguin, Joe.
Puffin, Paul.
Owl, Joe.
Oh...
A-a-aw...
Argh?
ALARM GOES OFF
We've lost the bird expert.
Wow.
And I'm starting with you, Lou.
So, this is the final. Yeah, I know, yeah.
Chaffinch, Paul.
Oh, wait... Stop! We've had chaffinch.
Lou's out.
Paul is the winner.
Come down and let's see how it's affected the final scores!
What was all that about, then?
Well, it was a great game of Bird, Grape, Torch. Really good.
Really good game.
Iain got one, Sian got two, Joe three, despite knowing birds
like Manx shearwater.
Mm, yeah.
That is weird, isn't it?
Lou came second. Paul Sinha won five points!
Retaining his job after the rice fiasco.
And it's close at the top of the leaderboard. Oh, my God.
Joe Thomas on 20, but the winner of this episode
is Lou Saunders with 21 points!
Lou Saunders has won! Please get up and pair up!
Thank you.
So what have we learned today?
We've learnt that if you find yourself on the quiz
The Chase facing the Sinha man, don't panic.
He can only go for eight seconds.
And we've also learned that Lou Saunders won the show,
so very well done to her.
Farewell, night-night.
Lou Saunders!
