GASPS
Oh!
No!
Shut up!
Oh, be caref... Ah.
Aaargh!
What?
APPLAUSE
Hello.
I am Greg Davies.
Welcome to Taskmaster.
What is potential?
When I was a little boy a school teacher told my parents I had none.
By the end of that year he had witnessed me rustle
a wild stallion to the ground
and skitter up the side of the BT tower
like a giant mother-loving lizard.
We all have potential, we can all unlock.
With the exception, it seems, of most of the following people.
Please give a warm welcome to Dara O Briain.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Fern Brady.
John Kearns.
Munya Chawawa.
And Sarah Millican.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And now for a man who was once chased and bitten by a peacock
in an incident he refers to as "the day I lost my children's respect."
It's...
HIGH PITCHED VOICE: ..Little Alex Horne.
APPLAUSE
Hello, everyone. Hello, Greg. Hi.
I've got news. Uh-oh.
Of my new project. Oh, yeah?
A line of clothing - it's called Simply Alex.
Would you like me to describe it? Yep.
Well, it's for unique occasions.
You know when sometimes your fingers are cold
but your hands are warm, so I've got these,
these are called gloveless fingers.
Gloveless fingers for the thumb there, of course.
I've also got...there's a pant-less crotch.
You know in this area? Yep. That's the end.
OK.
It's a good job I can't roundhouse any more.
Prize task, then.
What category did I suggest this time, my furry chum?
Oh, just another bloody brilliant one from Mr Brilliant
your bloody brilliant bloody bloke because you asked them to bring in
the greatest addition to a garden.
AUDIENCE: Ooooo!
OK. John, hello.
Hello. You all right? Yeah.
I brought in, er, I brought in a maze.
Here's his maze.
Oh, big maze.
Yeah. Have you brought in a maze?
Well, I didn't bring in a maze, no.
I brought in a Leylandii plant.
This is what all mazes are made out of.
So, you haven't brought in a maze, you've brought in one plant?
I would have brought in a maze if I could.
You love a maze?
I do love a maze, yeah. He loves a maze.
Yeah, and I'd be as impressed if you'd brought in a stone and said,
"This is a potential pyramid."
I mean, it's weak. Guy's a fool.
Sarah...
What I've brought in is something that I've used every single time
I've sat in the garden when it's been sunny
and it is the complete works of Shakespeare.
Oh, hang on, John, you're back in the game.
Here it is. Perfect...Perfect for the garden.
Well, I use a heavy book every single time I'm in the garden
to keep my Magnum wrapper from flying away.
Like this. Lovely...Lovely.
APPLAUSE
He'd be pleased. Don't you think Shakespeare would be pleased
that I'm using his...? I think he'd be mortified.
His whole life's works holding down your Magnum wrapper!
Fortunately for you he's not scoring this.
Dara...
I brought a thermometer.
But it's a thermometer that also proves that I was
an advertising model in 1920s France.
And also, since, on trips to France I've discovered
it's actually a really iconic ad in France.
There's a whole second career for you over there.
I was quite the character in 1920s France, yeah, with my Pastis Olive.
Wow. Which is olive oil, I presume?
I don't know.
I just did the gig.
Incredible. Hello, Fern.
Uh, so mine is a pizza oven.
It's a fancy one.
I've got a pizza oven as well
and I started the fire inside it.
I found this one really hard
cos I don't enjoy being in my garden at all.
I live in a horrible bit of south east London
so a lot of being in the garden is just listening to drug dealers
shout at each other or trying to ignore
a woman dry-heaving in my garden.
Just to remind you -
you're watching the light entertainment show Taskmaster.
Sorry!
Munya, can you beat any of these?
I can G-Wagon, so...
I don't mind G-Wagon. OK. Make a note.
I brought in the bird that changed my life.
I'm from Zimbabwe
and when we moved to England we moved to Norwich
so virtually indistinguishable.
Now, there was a lack of wildlife in Norwich
so I started to get very homesick until I met Smooth Rupert, OK?
Oh, my God. Smooth Rupert is a blackbird
who would fly into my garden.
All the birds were loving it.
He was the bird equivalent of Snoop Dog, OK?
Obviously, I couldn't bring him in but I did bring in
a re-incarnation of Smooth Rupert as I remember him.
He's a smooth guy.
Um, OK.
What you on about?
You looked out your window and you saw a blackbird.
You went, "I'm going to call that Smooth Rupert"?
You've never looked out the window and seen a pigeon and gone,
"That's an Aggressive Dylan"? No.
He won me back a little bit there. Yeah.
Let me give some points out.
So, what is the least great addition to a garden?
You know you would have said it was a solitary tree, wouldn't you?
Until you saw a pizza oven
that someone had tipped lighter fluid over.
One point.
Right, one point to Fern.
Two points to Smooth Rupert.
Three points to a ragged individual tree.
I think Dara's reward is infamy around France
and I think Sarah's doing a little bit for making
the Bard relevant to a modern audience,
and against all odds I'm going to give it five points.
There we go. Five points to Sarah Millican.
APPLAUSE
Task time. Yes, it is.
So, let's get the bubbles flowing.
Hey, Alex.
Hello, Munya. Please enter the magical sphere.
Thanks.
Hi, Fern, please enter the wonderful ball. OK.
Please enter the enchanted orb.
You have to go into the plastic igloo.
The futuristic globule.
SHE GASPS
I didn't know you can pens that clip together like that.
I'm 46 and I've never wanted something more in my life.
Oh, turn on the bubble machine.
You may not step off or move the doormat.
Fastest wins.
Your time starts now.
That's the bubble machine?
Yes.
Um...
Uh, power? Um...
Where's the charger for the bubble machine?
Turn it on how - mechanically or sexually?
Looks like we cut in the nick of time before Munya made sweet,
sweet love to a bubble machine. Again.
Um, let's just crack on.
First, we're going to see Fern and Dara in the dome.
OK.
So you've given me these special pens that hook together.
Rubbish.
I'm missing the thing that turns on the bubble machine.
About 12 volts, I imagine.
Yeah, where have you put it?
Is it underneath something?
Oh-oh, ho-ho! Right.
Ha-ha ha-ha!
That was dead clever, eh?
Stop. Let's have you two batteries.
What do the batteries operate?
They don't operate this, do they?
Oh, be care... Ah. Oops!
These can't be for no reason.
OK.
Uh...
Ha-ha!
Ah!
Oh!
This is the correct source of power
but I need to be able to open it.
Yes.
There's only two batteries!
Oh, no.
Oh, that's cruel.
That's not going to be enough.
I'm a little bit tired now.
Tired? Yeah.
I keep looking at you, cactus, as if you're the key to this.
That doesn't sound right.
What if the battery is under the car?
Dara?
So, where do you think...
SHE SIGHS Ugh, fuck's sake.
Ah, ha-ha! Oh, sneaky.
Oh, that's irritating.
FERN LAUGHS
APPLAUSE
I'll stop the clock.
Thank you, Fern.
It was pretty fun.
Congratulations, Dara. Thank you.
Do you know the last thing my wife said to me before I came
to Taskmaster today?
Always check under the table.
AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
So you didn't heed your wife's advice. I did not, no.
You looked like you were having a great time to me, Dara.
I was... It was loads of fun, yep.
Dara was quite scientific about it.
He wondered if it was a battery-powered cactus
and that that's where we'd hidden the batteries
whereas Fern was more an instinct, really.
At one point she said, "I need to get in the car."
But I still solved it in the same way as Dara so.
You did. Did you solve it in the same speed as
the scientific chuntering Dara?
Well, they both did about five minutes
I'll be more vague this time - about five minutes.
That'll certainly keep everyone on the edge of their seat, wont it?
About five. Well, Dara was six minutes 35,
Fern seven minutes 40, so about five minutes.
Now, a break from the norm.
When you tuck your kids into bed, instead of reading them
a bedtime story tonight, tell them the truth -
they're parasites and they've wrecked your dreams.
We'll see you in a bit.
Hello!
Hello, to all you good, good people out there
and hello to all the naughty ones.
Over to Little Alex Horne for a Little Alex recap.
So, before the break we saw Dara and Fern attempt to activate
the bubble machine in the fastest time.
Sarah Millican hadn't been yet but neither have John and Munya.
Here's how they got on.
Turn on the bubble machine.
Yes, please.
SWITCH CLICKS
Is it on? Yep.
Doesn't look like it's on.
SWITCH CLICKS CONTINOUSLY
What the hell am in going to do?
Oh, how do you make it go all stiff?
Practice.
What...
Oh, look who's here now.
Why doesn't it work? Does it need batteries?
Does it need to be plugged in?
Isn't it meant to go all rigid?
Yeah.
So fix the bubble machine. What, so I need a screwdriver?
I bet it's in there.
Heeey!
Yes...
Oh, be careful... Oh!
I've never used a bubble machine. I had a Mr Frosty.
Right, then.
Can't step off the doormat...
Doesn't make any sense.
Why is there a dressing gown?
It's got something in the pocket.
LOUD THUD
Yep.
Look at this. Ingenuity.
Do these clip on to each other?
That's not going to work, is it?
Yes. No fool, no fool!
Fuck!
I'm missing a battery.
One in here, isn't there?
That doesn't come off without a screwdriver.
I need to make a screwdriver to get one out of the car.
ALEX: You're going to make a screwdriver out of the coat hanger?
That's not going to work.
Why have you given me this?
Oh!
Yes.
Oh, my God. Not this bit.
Oh, that doesn't feel right.
What am I missing? What am I missing?
Is there something on the floor?
Oh, my God I've found it! Oh, you dicks!
Oh, I hate you all.
APPLAUSE
Yes!
Right, stop the clock. I knew I could do it.
CRIES OF EXASPERATION
All right, no.
Oh, hang on, well, that doesn't matter if it's in there.
Doesn't matter.
Bubble machine turned on.
Thanks, John. Bye-bye.
Wow, it was the dramatic conclusion.
Munya, you know how screws work right?
Yeah, I mean, you insert and twist like the best things in life.
Yeah, if you can get them rigid enough, of course.
Well, that's the first time this series
we'll have anything in common so...
John, you seemed to struggle to see the batteries a lot of the time?
Yeah, we had hidden secret messages everywhere.
On the batteries it all said "look down."
In the middle of the string it said "look down."
We weren't expecting people not to see the batteries
that were right there.
And also John insisted for five minutes that the machine was on
before doing anything. Five minutes.
It technically was on.
Right. It didn't look on.
No, I agree with you.
In the spirit of the task the machine was definitely off.
Yeah.
It was off but it was on.
I need some statistics.
Well, I think it's going to surprise you.
They took about five minutes,
and by that I mean John took ten minutes 45.
Munya 11 minutes 41.
Wait, so John beat me?
Can't be!
You've got to remember Munya made a lasso with a torch.
He tried to make a screwdriver out of a coat hanger.
He constructed a bazooka out of the pens and the cactus and the battery.
You did spend a lot of time recreating an episode of The A Team.
I think Sarah was fast. Was she fast?
Well, I can tell you that in last place it's Munya
with over 11 minutes with one point.
John gets two points with his ten minutes 45,
then it's Fern with seven minutes 40.
Now we know Dara took six minutes 35.
Sarah took six minutes 16 so she gets the five points!
APPLAUSE
May I have a scoreboard update please, Alex?
Of course you can. She's got maximum points,
and she's in the lead with ten points,
it's Sarah Millican again. There we go.
APPLAUSE
Another task and make it a good one.
Well, I'm afraid this one is actually tar-PALLING.
T...it's...it's... LAUGHTER
Go on, crack on.
Alex.
Hi, Munya. Fancy seeing you here.
Always here. Hello, Dara.
Oh, Alex.
"Get this..."
Argh, come on now.
"Get this tarpaulin completely in one of the containers."
"You have a maximum of five minutes
"and you must select your container before touching the tarpaulin."
"Also you must tidy..." What?
"Tidy everything up within those five minutes."
"Smallest container successfully filled with the tarpaulin wins.
"Your time starts after you've selected your container."
"And you must select your container within the next 30 seconds.!
Smallest wins, smallest wins, smallest wins.
That's full of shit.
Let me pick this.
OK.
There's gonna be stuff. So there's gonna be stuff in it.
15 seconds before you select your container.
Yep. Uh...
That's got balloons in. Bloody ducks again.
I'm gonna pick this.
OK.
Uh, I'm gonna pick...
Four seconds.
OK, this one.
OK.
This one.
OK.
Which container?
Uh, the green bin.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
Lots of very interesting thoughts.
My eye is immediately drawn to Munya
because anyone who thinks that tarpaulin is going in
a bread bin is insane.
Well, wait until you see the task.
Perhaps. Who's up first?
Uh, we're gonna start off with Sarah and "Darah".
LAUGHTER
Your five minutes starts now. BLOWS WHISTLE
Right.
I mean, I've folded sheets we've all folded sheets.
Why is there a snake underneath the... Oh, no.
What?
Oh, there's a snake.
Do you want me to...?
Yeah, if you could, please.
How long have I got?
You've still got one minute 45.
It didn't say it had to shut.
It just says it's got to be completely in there.
You've still got a minute.
That is exactly the right size.
WHISTLE BLOWS Oh.
WHISTLE BLOWS That's your time up.
Good work, Sarah. Thanks.
I'm waiting for the bit that went wrong.
AUDIENCE GROANS
APPLAUSE
OK. I felt like you were asked to put a tarpaulin away
and you folded it nicely, both of you,
and you put it in the container that you'd chosen
and you subsequently tidied up really well.
You're watching Taskmaster.
LAUGHTER
I really enjoyed it.
Folding and tidying, what's not to like?
Dara, did you enjoy folding something away really efficiently?
Yeah, but I wouldn't like televise it most of the time.
No, only, only a madman would.
Don't forget, for those people who are thinking of turning off,
we've still got bread bin boy to come.
SARAH CHUCKLES HAPPILY
Right, we're off again for a few minutes.
Just enough time for you to work out how
to turn down your partner's advances later on. Any suggestions, Alex?
Uh, well I usually just pretend, pretend to be very, very sad.
See you in part three.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
Hello, and welcome back,
and a hey diddly dee, it's the start of part three.
Yes, and fiddly dee, fiddly do,
I had an X-rated dream about you. But enough about me.
Tarpaulin tidying, that's the name of the current game.
Pick a container and fit it in,
smallest container successfully filled wins.
We're gonna see the final three now. Brady, Chawawa, Kearns.
Horrible man.
So what am I meant to do with these coins?
GRUNTS How much is in here?
Um...
You're basically making me do tidying.
Yeah, this starts with a lot of tidying, yeah.
Do you not like tidying? No. It's boring.
Um...
EXHALES
Well, that's not a problem, is it? Just put them back in there.
OK, right, let's think. How do they do it for bedsheets?
What do they do for bedsheets?
There's a snake!
Is it real?
What the...?
What the fuck? That's a snake.
What's happening?
It's not real, obviously.
Do you want me to get it? I can get it.
What are you doing? Do you want me to get it?
Uh, no. OK.
Is there things in this?
You've got three minutes, Fern.
But you've put something in here.
There's millions of marbles and spoons and things.
There must be some sort of trick.
15 seconds. Fuck.
How many minutes?
Two. You've gotta clean all that up.
Do I really though?
Mm-hm.
Right now, it's inside, isn't it?
It's not completely inside.
Well, it, that, that's just not possible.
Argh, how do people get bodies in these? It must be so hard.
It's inside, isn't it?
WHISTLE BLOWS
Argh.
Done. WHISTLE BLOWS
I guess I'm gonna tidy up the forks.
Yeah, thank you.
APPLAUSE
Well, that's certainly spiced things up a little bit, hasn't it?
Um, you reverted to being a angry 15-year-old, Fern,
at the beginning.
Yeah. "No, why? It's boring."
Because they made out I really had to tidy up the spoons and marbles.
You did, that was part of the task.
No, like, obviously someone from the crew can do that, come on.
LAUGHTER
Um, what I wrote down about John was,
"John cuts quite a lonely figure in this task, doesn't he?"
What?
We're all, we're all, uh, we're all on our own in this task.
Yeah, some people just seem more alone than others.
Uh, I, I'm thinking specifically
of when you chose your receptacle, you opened it,
you discovered there were balloons there,
you, you took them all out
and then you held them for some time.
Yeah, you stood still for 80 seconds, John.
Munya, I'm intrigued as
to what part of you thought that was going inside a bread bin.
I'm seeing these containers and I'm thinking,
"OK, obviously there's, there's something underneath
"the smaller container".
So I was thinking when I opened
the bread bin it's just gonna be like a sewer.
LAUGHTER
So when I opened...
I'm playing it out in my head,
I'm gonna open it it's gonna be a sewer,
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are gonna be under there.
MIMICS NINJA TURTLE: "What up, dude, you wanna put that in there, dude?
"OK, come on in. Ah." But that didn't happen.
God, I never thought I would long to hear Smooth Rupert come back.
Well, look, points-wise,
Sarah put the tarpaulin completely in the laundry basket
and then taped the basket shut.
Dara got the tarpaulin completely in the laundry basket
and just put the lid on.
He did leave one lid carelessly on the floor.
Who got the least tarpaulin in? Munya.
Right, one point to Munya.
OK who got the next amount of tarpaulin in?
John Kearns.
John Kearns, two points to him.
Fern, three points,
Dara can have four but the queen
and the only one who really deserves any points, Sarah Millican.
Well done, Sarah. Five points.
APPLAUSE
Right, may we have just one more, please?
Of course and this one's well classy.
Greee, pow.
Sorry, I like to make an entrance.
John.
You all right, Al?
Alex.
Gold pen, am I being retired?
Yes, congratulations. Thank you.
I've give the best years of my life to you, Alex.
And we're very grateful. OK.
SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION
Oh!
Oh, baby. "Write down five wonderful words."
"You've one minute, your time starts now."
Um.
Last year, when I started learning one new word
a day people laughed at me. Now who's laughing?
Me, loquaciously.
Loquacious.
20 seconds, Fern.
Done.
12 seconds if you wanna change your mind. No.
Thanks, John.
Euphoria.
Ten seconds.
Sex. I panicked, I panicked.
WHISTLE BLOWS Great. Great stuff.
I doubt I'm leaving the room.
What have I got to do now? I genuinely don't know.
I don't believe you for a second.
I never believe anything you say apart from,
"Everything you needs on the task." Is that how you talk?
All the information, all the information's on the task.
Why do I feel I have made a rod for my own back?
"Write a classic song."
Oh, Jesus.
"You must write lyrics for a piece of classical music."
"Your lyrics must contain your five wonderful words."
"You have 30 minutes your time starts now."
I'm gonna give you some options.
Jesus is Lord, do you need that many wires?
Is that an iPod Touch?
What, was it World War II?
And is it only those words or other words?
Oh, other words as well. Oh, OK, fine.
MELANCHOLIC PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
Oh, you wrote out the name of the song.
Yeah, it's Clair de Lune, isn't it? Correct. Thank you.
Oh, I think it's too poignant for this.
Too poignant, OK.
MUSIC CHANGES Is that Hall of the Mountain King?
Correct. Two points.
How many points am I getting for this? Loads.
Next.
MUSIC CHANGES
DARA HUMS TUNE
That is a banger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pop the next one on.
MUSIC CHANGES Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky.
No?
MUSIC CHANGES
No. No?
It's too British.
No to Mozart. Last one.
MUSIC CHANGES I can play this.
I don't know that one.
It's not his best.
You're not writing lyrics to that though. No?
Well, if he didn't.
What's it called? Not even a good name, Sonata in C Major.
I need to listen to it while I write the song.
Yeah. Here we go. What, you just stand there?
Yes. You have to keep going back to the start.
This is how I like to write my raps.
Yeah, me too. Here we go.
ENERGETIC DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
Stop. Pause.
OK, wheel up again.
Pause again.
In.
Where do you reckon people would sing your song?
In their heads.
APPLAUSE
Can you really play that on a piano?
Yeah, instead of having friends at school,
I spent two years learning Mozart's Sonatas
and that's one of my favourite ones.
Oh. Too British for me.
Well, I can't wait.
OK, well, five classic songs coming up. First up it's John Kearns.
# I found a naughty satsuma
# In my fantastic curry
# Oh, yes I found a naughty satsuma
# In my fantastic curry
# The lady on the phone said
# "What? Get here, you prick
# "I will lance you into next week
# I said, "I'm in my new pyjamas
# "And I'm free", I said,
# "I am free to come play to you and moan
# "Alone." #
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
It's not far off the original. The original Swan Lake,
Price Siegfried fell in love
with a swan and then ordered a curry. Yeah.
I, uh, am fascinated to learn more about the narrative of the piece.
So he's in his pyjamas so he's not, he's not well, bless him.
Yeah.
So to kind of, uh, clear the cold that he has,
he's ordered a hot curry.
He opens the curry... Yeah.
..there's a bloody satsuma in there.
John, this might seem over the top, but I think that,
what we've just seen, is the best thing you're ever gonna do.
LAUGHTER
Next?
Yeah, next.
Next up, let's see and hear Fern Brady.
Oh, no.
# Here we are again
# Series 14
# Who will become the house's queen?
# It is me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady, I'm the rightful queen
# Dilapidated house, filled with mystique
# Nobody knows what we will see
# Only one contestant will achieve the height of victory
# And the task was serendipitous
# They were gifts to the Taskmistress
# All the other contestants
# They were boot-licking sycophants
# Dara's a big bold imbecile
# Mr Kearns is obsequious chap
# And Sarah and Munya are losers and I'll stamp on their toes. #
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
That was painful.
You saddled yourself with some stinker words
but it was a masterpiece, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I wasn't aware we were allowed to write a dis-track. Uh...
She really took you all down, didn't she?
Really did. I mean accurately as well.
I don't know what, I don't know what my word means.
You were obsequious. Obsequious, yeah.
Oh, that you suck up to people and you really don't.
You're, you're not. I mean he does, he doesn't.
Wow.
Dara, you're not obsequious.
Thanks, Greg.
INDISTINCT
Break time.
Can I get anyone anything from the bar, hmm?
I'll have a Smooth Rupert, please?
Welcome back for a final time this time.
What was happening before the break, young Alex?
Classical music, Greg.
So I suppose you really should have said "Welcome Bach." No?
Next up, and putting lyrics to Debussy at last,
it's Sarah Millican.
Oh, shit.
Here we go.
I'm not watching.
# I look out of the window
# I see greenery
# And some brownery
# There's a toadstool
# Can I really eat it?
# I'm inside in a bralette which is a comfier bra.
# Less scaffolding
# With my cat who is fighting catnip
# Biscuits are my catnip too
# Oh, look there are crumbs in my bralette. #
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
Yeah, she hated doing this.
She absolutely hated doing that, but I think it's wonderful.
Oh, I have such a terrible history of singing though.
Like, I was in a relationship
with somebody who always said, "Don't sing it sounds awful".
And I didn't sing for years
and that was THE,
probably THE most horrific thing I've ever done in my whole life.
AUDIENCE AWS
Who was it who said that you sang awful at singing?
Ex-partner.
Oh, fuck you, ex-partner.
CHEERING, APPLAUSE
My life is now in the section of my life that is after watching that.
Everything building up has been before watching that
and now my life can begin again.
SHE DRY RETCHES
I genuinely thought it was really sweet.
It was certainly quite a contrast to,
# "It's me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady."
Yeah, and the story made sense.
The story did make sense.
I think it's about a woman
and a cat who are both eating biscuit crumbs from a bra.
Yeah. It's a comfier bra, it's like a night-time bra,
like the sort of bra you wear on, like, a Sunday.
I know what a bralette is. Have a look.
You need a bit of structure.
No, sorry. Um...
LAUGHTER
This is gonna be an absolute stinker to judge. Who's next?
Yeah. Now it's Dara O Briain.
# Do you know my greatest fear
# Of all the fears, my greatest fear
# Is to be the victim of defenestration?
# That fear might seem nebulous, mysterious, fantabulous
# But it spins around my head, it's quite gyratory
# They used to do it in Prague a lot in olden times, political plots
# But listen now I'll tell you how it happened to me
# I once met a man in Spain who said to me to do a dance
# "Senor, do the fandango or the window you will go"
# I said, "No, I will not go out the window no, no, no
# Take those foul palabras and shove them down your throat. #
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
Before I come onto the song uh–my first observation is
I think it would have been nice
to have had more of your face in the video.
LAUGHTER
It looked to me like a public information song from the '70s.
Well, it, it, it's based on a real event.
Uh, where I met a man who said,
"I'll throw you out of a window." Uh, and...
Where did you meet this man? In Prague. Uh, and he said,
"I will defenestrate you", which is as you know
a very common thing in Prague in times of political upheaval.
That's how they assassinate people. Of course, I don't know why
I'm telling you that. Obsequious. And...
Even during that description of what
the songs about all I'm looking at is his big head.
It did lean into my big head. It did make...
I don't think you have got a big head
but on that video it sort of, I don't know. Who's next?
OK. There's only one person left. Munya Chawawa.
# Goodness gracious, big brows in the mansion, spacious
# Got a posh ting and her back's bodacious
# Never talks slow, she's so loquacious
# Real fanatic, go to the gym, but I'm still an asthmatic
# Crowd goes wild, emphatic
# Money up like cash in the attic
# Jovial
# Alex Horne, that's the homey, yo
# Is that euphoria?
# Is it me or did we just get hornier?
# I'm on Taskmaster
# I'm like Greg but I rap faster
# And when he raises his specs that can only mean one thing
# Sex. #
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
Um, I think, uh,
it's the most middle class rap I've ever heard in my life.
What was it about?
You know, it was off the dome, uh, you know.
It was off the dome?
Me and the homies were chilling in the back.
We were freestyling, 8-miling.
Real, real Prague smiling. We were.
Yeah, sorry, mate. I don't think you heard my question.
What was it about?
Can we have some scores? OK.
I'm not gonna give anyone one point.
It's probably that I'm not straight enough to appreciate rap
and also I don't know what
the hell Dara was going on about.
So I'm giving Dara and Munya two points each.
OK.
I felt the same emotion about
the tangerine curry as I did about
# "Me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady. #"
So I'm giving them four points each.
But the one that really touched me the most,
five points goes to Sarah Millican.
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
OK, it's time for me to send you to the stage
for the final task of the show.
APPLAUSE
Who's gonna read out the task?
Uh, Dara O Briain, please.
"Throw your egg and your spoon the same distance.
"Both egg and spoon must cross the qualifying line.
"If either your egg or spoon fall off the 'Knappet',
"you are disqualified.
"The most distanced egg and spoon each round are out.
"If your egg doesn't break, your distance is halved.
"Last player standing wins."
So, one at a time, you'll go to the throwing circle
with an egg and a spoon.
You'll throw them both over this line.
Each time the person whose egg
and spoon are farthest apart from each other will be out.
It's Dara to throw first.
O Briain approaches the play zone.
Not a bad throw. Not a bad throw.
Fern, you're up next. If you could select an orange egg, please.
Just so you know we're measuring the egg, not the paint.
Most of the egg has gone over the qualifying line.
Oh, it's further.
It is further.
John Kearns next, please.
Yellow.
WHISPERS: Kearns.
That is bold.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
It's Munya next. Green to match him.
I hope this doesn't throw you off,
but one of your eggs does contain the corpse of Smooth Rupert.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
Solid.
He has managed to shove the yellow egg farther away from the spoon.
It's essentially a form of curling.
That is fine, that is fine.
Yeah. Sarah Millican. Blue.
It's been a while since I've had any eggs.
Thank you for getting the ovary joke.
Are you going spoon first?
Is that not allowed?
It's allowed.
Great spoon game.
APPLAUSE
Yellow is out.
Sorry, John.
What, I don't get another go? No.
John, just to show you're out,
would you put your hands on your chin, please?
There we are.
OK, it's round two.
Remember, if you don't break your egg, your distance is halved.
In all honesty, Alex, I don't understand this one at all.
I was asking John the rules earlier
and he's like the worst person to ask.
AUDIENCE OOHS
AUDIENCE AWS
I think Fern might be in trouble.
That has absolutely backfired on you.
AUDIENCE AWS
Oh, my god.
You've lost, Sarah, you've lost, Sarah.
I know.
Round three.
It didn't go beyond the qualification line.
We've lost Munya Chawawa.
Unlucky, Munya.
And to the gripping finale.
FERN: Dara.
AUDIENCE OOHS
Not bad, not bad. Lovely, lovely.
This is so much pressure.
That's a nice throw. Here we go.
Oh, fuck.
Dara O Briain is the winner.
CHEERING
Come back down and we'll add that to your final scores.
Wow. Big wow. High octane.
Yes, poor old John only had one go, so he gets one point.
Two to Sarah, three to Munya, four to Fern
but yet again, Dara O Briain, he's, he's very good at this.
Five points to Dara O Briain. There it is.
And so to the final scoreboard.
Well, for the first time ever, all five have the same points.
No nothing like that, no.
We have a winner
and that winner has 22 points, it's Sarah Millican.
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
Sarah wins.
Please go and visit your garden of delights.
OK, were off and you're off too.
But first, let's support the winner of episode four.
One more time, it's Sarah Millican.
CHEERING
INDISTINCT
