This was a mistake!
Shut up. Pardon?
HORN BEEPS
This programme contains strong language and adult humour
Whoo!
CROW CAWS
DUCKS QUACK
You're mad.
Wow!
GIGGLING
HORN TOOTS
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello!
Welcome to the Taskmaster grand final!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ten weeks of literal blood, sweat and tears,
and we are a short hour away from crowning not just any clown,
the king of the clowns!
What makes a champion, ladies and gentlemen?
Blood? We've seen it.
Sweat? All five of our contestants stink of it.
Tears? Every night, when he wets the bed.
So, we all have the ingredients for one final pie -
the glory pie.
LAUGHTER Please...
..meet the meat that hopes to end up being its filling.
They are...
..Fatiha El-Ghorri! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Jason Mantzoukas! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Mathew Baynton! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Rosie Ramsey! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And Stevie Martin! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And next to me,
a man who tells me the secret to a happy marriage is simple -
respect, making time for your personal space,
and never telling your wife, Rachel, how boring all her stories are.
Ooh... LAUGHTER
Ooh...
Ooh, dear.
It's little Alex Horne!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Greg, it's the last episode,
so I thought it's about time we renew our vows, don't you think?
Ah. I've written mine.
"I, Alex Horne, solemnly swear to protect you
"till the day one of us is dead."
Here's yours.
"I, Greg Davies, do solemnly swear to express my respect
"and admiration for you as often as I breathe each breath."
Part two. LAUGHTER
"From today onward, you and I will be one in heart, body and mind."
Means so much to me. Part three. Yeah.
And the general rule of thumb of comedy is there's only three parts.
LAUGHTER
"You are my sunrise and sunset,
"and my day starts and ends with you.
"I'm the luckiest person alive to be standing with you today,
"and to be facing life with you every day."
That's what I feel as well. Last one.
Four. The rule of four.
"Let us build a home..." Yes.
"..a life, and a family from these bonds,
"and promise to stick together through all life's challenges.
"You are my fire, my one desire..."
There's definitely another one. No, that is it.
I've put "..." cos that's the bit that I really meant.
OK.
A paid employee will have printed all those out for him.
Work experience. Yep.
Time for the final prize task category of the series, what is it?
Yes, Greg, it's an important one, and that's why the category is,
"The thing most likely to make you do a double-take."
AUDIENCE: Ooh...
Good old Greg will give five points
to the thing that prompts the biggest delayed surprised reaction.
At the end of the episode,
the winner will double-take all five things home with them.
All right, then.
Mathew, what have you brought in that'll make me double-take?
It is boots in a bin.
LAUGHTER
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Boots in a bin. Simple as that.
Great.
And it really does look like there's a body in there. Yeah!
It's a strong start. Thank you. Simple. Clean.
Fatiha? Yeah?
You've made me double-take all series.
My thing is geezers with beards.
Oh...
Have you...? SHE CHUCKLES
This is crazy.
Have you ever farted in front of a cat?
How is that related?!
How do those things connect?!
It was only matter of time till someone asked.
So, yeah, you know, like, if you fart in front of cat, yeah?
It goes like this.
And that's what happens when I see a geezer with a beard, right?
Cos a lot of Muslim men grow beards.
And, so is this beard for somebody that you might find attractive,
but who doesn't have a beard,
so you can just put it right on him?
No, we just couldn't find a guy with beard that I liked.
Oh. So I said, "Use..."
So, if I've understood you correctly,
you've brought a beard in,
because you always double-take when you see a man with a beard,
because you find them attractive,
but you're hoping that that man is a Muslim? Yeah.
What I haven't quite worked out
is the whole farting in front of cats thing.
Don't worry about that, OK? Don't worry about that.
Just leave that, yeah? Yeah, leave that.
That's the reaction. Cos you...
Like, that's what I'm like.
Backstage, you said this was your best one.
It is. ROSIE: It's terrible!
It is my best one.
OK.
Jason.
Um, I brought this at a yard sale maybe 30 years ago.
It has lived in the kitchen of every house or apartment that I've ever lived in.
Mm-hm. And it never fails to get a double-take from people
when I show it to them.
GREG SPLUTTERS
LAUGHTER
You looked back again.
I looked again so I could read, "Most meals with dad".
ROSIE: Aww! That's what got me.
That's the double-take.
I'd like to think maybe some day it's not just that I own it,
but some day I'll earn it.
You mean you'll eat with your father more often?
Wouldn't that be great? OK.
It's, uh, absolutely weird.
Stevie.
Oh, I, um... I forgot mine.
LAUGHTER, GASPS
APPLAUSE I'm so hot!
I've been silent the whole time
cos I didn't want you to look at my stupid shoulder.
That is strong.
Genuinely wasn't expecting it. Did a genuine double-take. Great.
Rosie? Uh, I have brought a life-size interpretation
of my monthly period.
GASPS, SHOCKED LAUGHTER
Here she is. ALEX: Here she is.
Oh, no...
Look at it again, Greg. Look at it again.
STEVIE: What's the problem? Why'd you hate women?!
Can it be a double-take if you never look at a thing more than once?
Take it all in. It's just nature. Yeah.
Oh, and it's absolutely...
..em-empowering.
Yeah. Very good! Yes, sister.
The thing most likely to make you do a double-take, Greg.
What's the...? OK, well, this is gonna ruin my potential...
..marriage to Fatiha, I think... Oh, no.
Because I don't double-take at men with beards.
So it's one to Fatiha. Again.
Two points to Mathew.
AUDIENCE: Aww!
I've seen wellies in a bin. Sorry.
Mat, do you want to hold my hand?
'Scuse me.
As much as I love meals with Dad,
I'm going to give it three points.
If I saw that blob thing walk past me,
I would mega-take,
and be disturbed by it...
But it's her finest work. She fooled us all.
I did a genuine double-take.
Stevie takes five points.
Well done, Stevie Martin! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Right, let's get this party started.
Give me a task proper.
Yes, and what could be more apt
than an emotive task involving the sands of time
and some brightly coloured boxes?
Hello!
It's nice in there, isn't it?
I feel like I'm in a microwave. Thanks.
Cool.
I'm not going to, uh, be too fast now.
You're not going to be too fast? I'm going to take my time...
OK. ..and be very deliberate in my thoughts and emotions.
"Completely fill the yellow box with sand."
"The yellow box with sand."
"Once you have touched a box,
"you must hold that box for the rest of the task."
"Once y-..."
"Once you have touched a box,
"you must hold that box for the rest of the task."
Right, well, I haven't touched any from saying that.
STEVIE CHORTLES
"Fastest wins."
OK, so this seems to be a situation under here.
I'd love you to read the last line.
I would love to, but I just want to figure out how this thing works.
Have you started the clock? No. Great.
I'm tempted to.
"Your time starts...
"..now."
APPLAUSE
Stevie, uh, what are you going to be?
I think it might be a catchphrase that people could use for you
going forward, so I just want to shine a light on it.
STEVIE: Oh, thank you. You said, "OK,
"I'm going to be very deliberate in my thoughts and emotions."
And then I went, "Hurr-hurr-hurr!" on the box.
Right, do you want to go through some rules?
Yeah, well, you didn't need to worry about the touching
till after you'd said, "Your time starts now."
Don't worry about that. Ah. Fill the yellow box up with sand.
If you touch a box, you've got to hold the box.
First up, we're going to see Fatiha, Rosie and Sandy.
Sand. We're going to see sand.
So how are you going to do this? Cos I don't want to touch anything.
Oh, bollocks. Oh, shit.
So, you've just touched the orange one so far.
Why are you stating the obvious?
Oh, shit. There's another box in here.
But I can just grab the sand, can't I?
I'm not touching the box. Just like this.
SLOWED: Just like this.
I think you need to pick up the blue box.
UNDER BREATH: Bastard.
So...
That's a big one.
FATIHA LAUGHS
Oh, you're carrying that one as well, then, now.
So you... Oh, oh, dear.
Right, so you've touched all the boxes now.
It says, "Living room."
Right.
SHE GASPS Do I have to go the living room?
Off we go.
Can I boot the door in?
Yeah.
Oh, that was a bad idea!
The yellow box is upside down now.
Oh...
Oh, there's more sand.
SHE SIGHS
Oh, you're taking the piss.
You're taking the absolute piss.
Oh, my God! OK.
Shed.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Going on your head, is it? Yeah.
LAUGHTER
Oh. SHE LAUGHS
What is this?!
Why is there all these boxes?
You're wobbling it in? Yeah.
Is it working? Um, no. No.
Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit.
AUDIENCE GROANS
SHE LAUGHS
Is it completely full of sand?
I think so.
There's no more sand anyway.
Would you like me to stop the clock? Yeah.
It's half empty. Ah.
This is what we're going to do.
I'm going to put that in here.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea. OK?
SHE CHUCKLES
You're a prick.
SHE GRUNTS
Is it full? Yes, it's full, bruv.
I've stopped the clock.
Congratulations. That was impressive.
APPLAUSE
Fatiha, I didn't realise that you were Special Forces trained.
The kicking in of the door, incredible,
and then managed to keep hold of all the boxes.
I lost my balance. I've got really bad balance.
Yeah, I saw. Yeah.
Rosie did some great facial expressions during that,
and I was amazed at just how proud you were
when you put that orange box on your head.
Yeah, well, I've captured it for posterity.
Here it is.
I suspect neither of them succeeded.
Look, neither of them completely filled it with sand,
but they did their best.
And that's all that counts?
Not normally, no.
Who's next? Next up, it's two men who are prodigious actors.
A skill, of course, that has no use in this task whatsoever.
It's Jason and Mathew.
There's not... That's not going to all be sand, is it?
There's going to be a trick.
Is there sand anywhere else, Alex?
I don't know. I don't know.
Ah, I see.
This box has actually quite little sand in it.
I've managed to ascertain that without touching the box yet.
That's a... That's a trap.
You bas...
So's that.
OK, we've got some sort of contraption here.
How you doing?
Where else is there sand?
Got any sand in here?
A thorough search has turned up no sand.
Sand!
A-ha.
Stop the clock! I've stopped the clock!
Whew.
Seems full. I've stopped the clock.
Great.
Thank you, Alex.
Thank you, Jason.
APPLAUSE
LAUGHTER
I mean, lovely. Very indicative of the two nations
from whence you both came.
Jason has unbelievable self-belief throughout.
He believes everything will go right.
And Mathew presumes, as is correct,
that everything will go wrong,
and is absolutely amazed when it doesn't.
But pretty sharp and fast?
Yeah, Jason, 4 minutes 21.
Mat was 1 minute 25.
Oh! AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Finally, the argument's settled.
We are better.
OK, break time.
There are three parts left to go,
so maybe try and pace yourselves with the booze for a change, yeah?
State of you.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello! Yes, here we are.
It's the Taskmaster final, and it's the start of part two.
That's right - and I've just had a bowl of muesli.
Its fibre content helps keep my digestive system moving smoothly,
preventing constipation and other digestive problems.
The current task involves trying
to completely fill the yellow box with sand.
There's just one person left,
and that person's name is still Stevie Martin.
Right. Oh, I've made a terrible mistake.
That's not...
The sand's outside the dome, isn't it?
I've got massive hands. I forgot.
Ah!
Sh-... Shit.
Oh!
Yeah, that's fine.
Oh, f-... Sorry.
SHE CHUCKLES
I can't walk.
There has to be a better way than this.
Oh! Why did I move it?
SCRAPING
No, that's obviously stupid.
Why would I do...?
Oh, what?!
"Shed."
Whoa...
I'm suing.
What have you just seen?
A box that says the word "sand" on it.
Right.
You touching another box?
I'm touching all of the boxes.
Great.
It's got a sheet of sandpaper in it.
Yeah, it says "sandpaper" on the box.
I...can't...
..deal with that...now.
Right, I actually need to think about where I'm going.
OK. Yeah, all right.
OK.
Are you holding the yellow box?
No, but I've got, like, a bit of my body on it?
WHISTLE I've stopped the clock.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
What did she promise she would be?
Oh, she was so deliberate in her thoughts and her emotions.
I forgot!
But filled her box up, didn't she?
Right up.
It took her nearly 20 minutes, but she did.
You did it in the end.
Incredibly, though, you're not going to come last.
Incredible. Let's get some scores, then.
So first of all, there's no doubt,
the winner of the task is Mr Mat Baynton.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE He gets five points for his 1:25.
Um, the other box fillers,
Jason, you get four points in second for four minutes,
and Stevie, you took 17.5 minutes,
but you get three points, I presume.
Well, cos the box was definitely full of sand, 100%. Yes.
But now we're into murky territory with these two, aren't we?
It is such murky territory.
Now, I should technically give you both nothing,
but cos this is the final, I'm trying to be generous.
You put that sand pot in. Yeah.
And that is made of sand.
Yeah, well, I guess it was over the top of the box. Yeah.
I'm tempted to give Fatiha two points.
And I'd feel pretty bad for you -
you know you've made a fool of yourself
with that box on your head - if I didn't give you one point.
Well done, Rosie. One two Rosie, two to Fatiha,
but Mathew Baynton wins the task!
Yeah! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Could you give me the scores, please?
Yes, well, Fatiha and Rosie are still at the bottom
but at the top, with eight points,
it's Stevie Martin!Ooh!Ooh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What are we going to do next, Alex Horne?
Freeze.
What's all that nonsense?
Am I Bear Grylls? Making me walk through rocks. What's going on?
Nice place. Oh, yeah, that is nice.
It's gorgeous, isn't it? It's an inflatable.
It's not.
OK.
"Freeze on your spot in the most powerful pose."
She's a windy one.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
It doesn't bode well that inanimate objects can't freeze on the spot.
"Freeze on your spot in the most powerful pose
"in five minutes from now."
I'm assuming that's my spot.
It is.
"You must be touching two of the objects."
"Your time started when you acknowledged Alex."
Is that it?
Probably.
"Most powerful pose."
This place is quite regal, innit?
So, regal people have dogs all the time.
The power over life and death.
I could kill a dog.
Now, in the '80s, when they used to have these round their necks,
they were quite powerful people.
The most powerful thing in the world is obviously people who...
So, statues were made of them.
So if I... Hold this.
Oh, shit.
I want to stand up on these two things.
Do you now?
This is my dog that I take to the beach. These are my skates.
So, this is my puppy, Rufus.
Rufus.
And he's been hit by a car.
Oh.
But I have the power to end his life.
Going to get into a powerful position.
Right?
And then like this... SHE EXHALES FEARFULLY
You're... Kneel down here
with your head right where the hammer would be.
Ten seconds.
OK, Jason? Yeah?
I'm just going to read the second part of the task.
Son of a bitch.
It says, "Stay completely still in your powerful pose
"for the next ten minutes." SHE SCOFFS
"Least movement wins, your time starts now."
You understand the task?
Uh-huh.
This is a disaster.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
I expected Jason to show something like a man being executed
as an example of power.
But a puppy, Mathew?
It's powerful, isn't it?
Powerful to think... The murder of a puppy?
Putting it out of its... Putting Rufus out of his misery was the idea.
It is powerful.
Fatiha. Yeah?
I must've, uh, missed the episode of Bear Grylls
when he battled his way across some driveway gravel.
"It was like running through the Himalayas," she said.
Listen, that shit was deep.
What do you think people in the '80s...
LAUGHTER
What do you think powerful people did in the '80s?
'80s, power, cool kids, rollers, rollerblades. Oh, yeah, yeah.
I remember Ronald Reagan wore some skates round his neck
when the Berlin Wall came down, didn't he?
It's not really about the powerful position. I know.
It's how still they could be in that position.
You want to see how they got on? Oh, God, do I?
Sometimes you just can't beat a montage of people standing about
in loads of pain. Here we go.
How often do you want me to tell you the time?
Not too often. OK.
Any regrets?
Mm-hm.
How long has it been?
It's been 34 seconds. OK.
How did I not see this coming?
This has got all the hallmarks of, "There's a second task."
Nine minutes left.
It's the twist in the spine I regret the most at this point.
Oh, the benefit is
I could really give you a whack right now.
How long have I done? You're almost there, just eight minutes to go.
Oh, shut up.
Happy with your choice? UNSURE: Mm.
The arm. The arm's a problem, is it?
AFFIRMATIVELY: Mm.
How's the knee? Not great.
We're at two minutes. Mmph.
Ah, I'm going to do three, and then I'm going to...
I'm going to swap... SHE WHEEZES
Can you just edit it, yeah?
Because my trainer, she's a bitch, yeah? Right.
She'll make me do like 20 bench lifts. Like, just edit it.
Ooh, this left one is wobbly.
Elbow all right? NEGATIVELY: Mm-mm.
You going to last? Mmm. Yeah.
Five minutes gone.
MATHEW YELLS: Oh, God!
Let me do another pose, then. Right, OK.
Mmm... Mm-mm.
It's taking so much effort!
My back hurts, Jason.
Your back's hurting? Uh-huh.
All right, good.
Lost my toes. Lost your toes?
Me two little toes have gone.
That's cute, innit?
Can you stay still?
You're so boring.
50 seconds. Mm...
MATHEW GROANS
JASON GROWLS REPEATEDLY
STEVIE GRUMBLES
Eight seconds.
WHISTLE ROSIE:Oh, my word.
FATIHA: Smashed it.
STEVIE SCREAMS IN AGONY
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-oww....
SHE GASPS
JOINTS CLICK
HE GASPS SOFTLY
Thank you, Mathew. Thank you, Rufus.
APPLAUSE
Fatiha, when you say you "smashed it",
what do you mean?
It seems to me everyone went through hell,
screaming in agony for the positions.
What you did, as far as I can work out,
is you called your personal trainer a bitch,
and you asked the team to edit it for you.
We did edit quite a bit,
cos you also said that Cliff Richard was a prick at one point.
Yeah, that was hard, man.
It was hard if you did it.
I'm going to show you now Jason and Mathew,
their effort distilled so you can see how much they moved.
Here we go.
WHISTLE
APPLAUSE
Not bad.
Mathew seconds from crying.
Did you see his face?
I was in pain for days!
Yeah.
Jason, you just looked like you were getting tighter and tighter.
Angrier and angrier.
I thought, "Oh, my God, he's going to smash Alex's head in."
ROSIE: I did!
I was desperate to. The longer it went,
the more it seemed like the easiest solution to the task.
I would've loved it. A bit of lateral thinking.
I'm afraid there are just two parts of the final to go
with our five mighty competitors,
but thankfully, when it does end,
we'll still have each other.
My sweet, sweet friend.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello!
And welcome back to the third part of this Taskmaster final.
Yes, they're trying to stay as still as possible
for ten minutes in a most powerful pose
while touching two objects.
Least movement wins.
Now, let's see how much Rosie and Stevie moved.
Ooh.
WHISTLE
MATHEW:Wow.
Not a lot. Not a lot in it. APPLAUSE
Ten minutes.
Pretty amazing.
And you were actually in a difficult pose as well.
That classic power move.
On the roller rink! With all my friends.
Really good, though. Yeah, for ten minutes, that is impressive.
I've not got much to say. It's pretty good.
Well, there is someone still to see, so you might have something to say.
They have been so still - so, so still.
So still.
And now here is Fatiha.
WHISTLE
LAUGHTER
WHISTLE
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
The last ten seconds, she was good.
For nine minutes 50 seconds...
I know, I just...
Cos when I dropped my hand, I knew it was over, innit?
So I thought, "Let me just talk."
It's not all about points, is it?
Don't start giving it.
I'm not scared of you.
If you come after me, I'll just go up someone's driveway.
Least movement wins, Greg.
One point to Fatiha. OK.
Yeah, I would say that Mathew's murderous character
probably moved the most after Fatiha.
Yeah. Two points to Mathew.
Probably Jason in third. Are you happy with that, Jason? I would say.
Am I happy with it?!
Fuck, no.
Three to Jason, and then it's up to you.
You saw how much they moved. Not a lot.
I think that Stevie was clearly in such pain,
and I actually think she just had the edge, so...
OK, so four points to Rosie, five to Stevie Martin. I agree.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Only a handful of points left to give this series.
What have you got for me? I have got a team task, Greg,
and it will hopefully involve your big three -
fast service, accurate pricing, and great food.
Hello, team.
ROSIE: Hello.
This is proper nonsense, you know?
Hello, team. JASON: What team is it?
I'd love it if you were to address us by our team name.
I can't remember your team name.
Javie Martzoukas.
Yeah!
MATHEW: "Provide the best drive-through experience."
Ooh.
"Your first customer will arrive in five minutes from now.
"The next five customers..." Oh, boy.
"..will arrive every two minutes after that."
"They are expecting..."
"Your time starts now."
So, what's closest?
I just want to see...
So, we should alternate, right? So whoever orders...
Holy shit, there's so much stuff.
Are you good at cooking?
I can make food, or... Can you count?
I can... Yeah.
Do you want to do the counting? OK.
Let's start making... STEVIE: Making.
Can you start making warm bread sandwich with butter on the outside?
Yeah.
ROSIE: All right, what is it?
Warm bread sandwich with butter...
Ah, no, what's a pentagon?
What's a pentagon?
Like a 50p piece.
A small flour castle with a moat. OK.
ROSIE: Draw a pentagon on there. OK, give me that.
First customer in one minute 20.
Is that a pentagon?
Do you know the pentagon in America?
That's what it looks like.
Do you not know it? That's the government building, innit?
"Fast service, accurate pricing and great food."
Yes. Come on, then. Be nice to the...
..to anyone who comes. Of course, of course.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
Well, Javie Martzoukas immediately seem like
a very efficient team to me. And the other team...
Um... LAUGHTER
No, I think it's the mark of a good team
that one person runs around trying to address the task
while the other two debate what a shape is.
Shall we kick it off, then? Let's lock in.
OK, well, for the last time, it is Jason and Stevie first.
Hello. Hello.
Hi, there. Hello, little boy. How are you?
I'm good. I'm hungry. Great. What can I get you?
I'll have some warm bread sandwich please.
OK... Cut into a... Sorry,
but can I have it cut into a pentagon shape?
OK, Stevie, warm toast cut into a pentagon
and fizzy milk, please, to drink. A drizzle.
A drizzle? Not a drizzle, a medium.
And no sides, please.
I think I'm already going to have a nervous breakdown.
I'm sorry, where do I go?
Uh, you're going to have to pay down here.
OK, uh, am I following you?
Yes, please.
Hey, this is a great start.
Can you repeat literally everything you just said?
Yes, some toast, cut into a pentagon. Yeah.
And a little bit of milk. Oh, hello. Pentagon...
Hi.
STEVIE BLOWS Hi, there, I've ordered back there.
How much do I owe you? OK, yes, it's just going to be...
"Type price, press for drink/main/side, press conf-..."
What?
BELL RINGS
Oh, boy. Hello. Oh, there's somebody...
Son of a bitch.
I need to get back in the kitchen.
Please take the payment quickly.
I guess... INCORRECT BUZZ
..there's your ticket. Hello?
Your food will be available at the window here, please.
Thank you so much.
Very reasonable, thank you. Hello?
Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Second order coming in.
Ah. Oh, hello. Hello.
Welcome to the JV Martzoukas Deli.
Hello. Thank you for dining at JV Martzoukas.
Your pentagonal toast and your milk.
We're an organisation that is dedicated
to bringing delicious, sustainable...
God bless. Is it fizzy, the milk?
Uh, in a way. Meant to be fizzy.
..locally sourced food from around the area...
What the fuck?
..to you and anybody else around.
So, how can I help you?
Burnt toast and just a drizzle of milk, please.
Sure.
Oh, shit. Wow.
OK I've got... I'm sorry, I do have to go, I've got a meeting.
Absolutely, there you go.
I'd love to tell you just a little bit about the establishment.
So that's going to be 3.50.
We started during peak pandemic.
Thank you. You're a wonderful little guy.
Aw, thank you.
We started out of our kitchen...
That's 4.75.
We're a couple... Uh, pay at the geodesic dome.
We're in love. You OK?Yeah. MICROWAVE DINGS
So that was 7.74? DING!
We love making food for people.
Hello, this is your burnt toast with a drizzle of milk.
Here is your steamed bread, homemade confetti...
Here is ten ice cubes in a little tower for you.
Have a great day.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you!
What you're doing is great out there. Thank you for your service.
I appreciate that. Yeah. Have a nice day. You as well.
So that'll be 1.50. There you go. DING!
We thought, "Why not do some good for the world?"
We're going to need a small flour castle with a moat.
Extra gluten, please.
On it. I've already made it.
Absolutely crushing it, Stevie.
I'm pretty good at this.
And people just loved it.
Here is the flour castle with a little moat.
Is there extra gluten?
Extra gluten? One second. I'm so sorry.
They love what we're doing, so here we are.
Now, what can I get you?
GROWLING: Can't believe I left the flag out of gluten.
CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE: So sorry. There's the little gluten flag for your castle.
Just going to pop that on. Thank you.
Have a great day. Will do.
Have an amazing day. Thank you.
Thank you.
BOTH: Thank you for dining at JV Martzoukas.
Where you're family.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
ROSIE: So cute! So cute!
GREG: Wow.
I mean, I genuinely think you should go into business together.
It was actually really clever of Jason, wasn't it,
to start speaking absolute bullshit?
Stall. Because it just slowed it all down so beautifully.
So clever.
We've not seen that side of you before, Jason. No.
The clever side?
I didn't mean it like that.
Listen, asshole. Uh-oh.
It was great. I loved hearing the backstory.
You were so polite.
My favourite line of the whole thing,
and I know that you were genuinely proud of yourself,
when you went, "I've already made it!"
STEVIE:I was! I really was! APPLAUSE
What a delight it was to be in the company of this wonderful family-run business.
Now, I like to be even-handed,
so I'm looking forward to seeing the next one,
and I don't think that it will necessarily be
an absolute shit show.
Well, we're here already.
The trophy ceremony is coming,
but let's not forget someone will also be strutting home
with some mannequin legs in a bin
and the physical manifestation of a period.
You say what you want about this show,
but we are classy as fuck.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh, hello!
Welcome back and here we go, the final part of the series.
I know, and if I knew how to cry, I would cry.
The Taskmaster drive-through is open
and we've already seen Javie Martzoukas selling their wares.
Now for the team of three, who are obviously at a big advantage.
They just had to control one station each,
so I dread to think how much they're going to show up the other team.
LAUGHTER Let's see.
FATIHA WHEEZES Hi, there.
Can I have some warm bread sandwich please?
Of course you can.
So, where's the fries, though?
I fea-... I wonder... I worry.
OVER RADIO: I worry I shouldn't have been in here cos I...
You all right? All right.
I'm with a customer. Shut up.
What the hell?
OK, listen up.
I need a warm bread sandwich with butter on the outside
in a pentagon shape.
And I also need fizzy milk...Hello? HE RINGS BELL
..in a small size.
Hello? Hello!
OK, got that, thank you, Roger, over.
Mat... Where do I pay?
£8.55.
So you were the pentagon... Um...
Yeah, I'm in a bit of a hurry.
Hello, sir. Hello.
How can I help you, sir? Can I have a burnt toast?
Yes, of course.
"Fast food," they said.
Uh, so that's also...
Sorry! One moment, sir.
£8.55, please.Right. DING!
There's your change, sir. OK, where do I go?
Um, if you'd like to just reverse back up to the food counter,
that's where the food is.
Well, I know that's where they're preparing the food.
That's where I get it as well, is it?
Where would you like it, sir?
Well, where they deliver it.
Where would you like it?
Thank you so much for your help.
OK. You're welcome. Have a good day. Bye.
I'll reverse if you want me to.
No, don't reverse, cos there's another customer coming.
FATIHA BOOMING OVER RADIO: OK, this is what we need.
We need a slice of burnt toast and a drizzle of milk.
HE KNOCKS ON DOME Sorry... Where do I go?
Mat, your... Sorry, Mathew, where do I get the food?
Mathew?
Is that still milk, dirty milk, or is it just normal still milk?
Hello.
You just head on round there, sir. Just round there, is it?
OK. Yeah. Right, thank you.
There you go. Enjoy your meal, sir.
Ten ice cubes in a tower.
OK.
BELL RINGS
Your toast's coming! It's just getting burnt!
How's it going, guys?
Thank you so much.
Going well, thanks.
Coming! This isn't burnt.
Sorry, is...? It's raining out here.
I've got the ice. Who ordered the ice?
Ah, no. Oh, that's me.
OK, there you go. Thank you very much.
FATIHA: I need one small flour castle with a moat.
Just making sure the toast is nice and burnt for you. Oh, OK thank you.
You OK? Yeah, I'm just doing this flour castle.
Was it the small flour castle with the moat, sir?
Yes, it was, yeah.
Mat, listen, the guy's a little bit lairy, innit?
OVER RADIO: So if he starts giving it, just call me, I'll come round.
99p, please, sir. Perfect.
There you are, sir. Thank you so much.
Rosie, the guy's asking for the moat,
and I told him it's the size of your hand.
What is a moat?
RINGING BELL Hello?
How you getting on with the burnt toast?
It's busy burning.
That person came through ten minutes ago. What is going on?
MAN: I'm going.
Ah, Mathew. Is it Mathew?
One moment, sir.
Good afternoon, sir. Hello, again. Hello.
Sorry, sir, there was a...
..another guy waiting, actually, for some burnt toast.
Oh, he got quite irate and he had to dash.
OVER RADIO: I've got another customer,
so I need toast that actually looks like soldiers.
I need steamed bread...
There you are, sir. Thank you.
..homemade confetti, small dirty water.
ROSIE: A small dirty water?
Hello? Hello?
Guys, am I doing an actual soldier
or is it the soldiers that you dip in your dippy eggs?
No, it's an actual soldier.
Like, what do you mean? What does a soldier look like?
Well, I guess if there's a sense of limbs...
BELLS RING Hello?
Does that look like anyone's small dirty water and steamed bread?
Chewy milk and toast that looks like soldiers. Yeah. Sorry for your wait.
Ah! Thank you.
FATIHA: Guys, there's no more customers left,
do you want me to come and help you?
Think they're all, um...
They're all happy at the moment.
Think we might be done.
LAUGHTER, CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well done. Well done.
Where do I start?
I mean, I think maybe the guy on the till is a stoner?
Yeah!
MATHEW: I was really fixated that it was going to be judged on
the accuracy of the pricing...
It's part of it.
..and so I really didn't want to get the maths wrong.
And I've never... So what were you doing down there?
You were adding things...? I was adding, yeah.
Cos you seemed so still.
I was trying to be deliberate in my thoughts and emotions.
APPLAUSE
You, turning on your team from the start.
"I'm with a customer, shut up."
"Guy's getting a bit lairy."
I think if this had been further into the series,
we wouldn't have put Fatiha in a front-facing role.
The team of three did take a lot longer,
cos we only had two of those bicycles
and we were meant to go round in a loop each time,
but one of us had to use a scooter in the end
because there was such a delay.
LAUGHTER
Um, average wait time of 31 seconds, team of two.
Average wait time of 2 minutes 41 for the team of three.
What they didn't do was any prep beforehand,
whereas the other team had everything -
the toast was already burning. Everything was ready.
Whereas you were trying to burn the toast for 16 minutes.
MATHEW: One customer left. JASON: Did you say 16 minutes?
Yeah, well, it kept popping up,
then you'd leave it for quite a while, then pop it down. Really?
The thing about us is we won't compromise on quality.
That is one thing we won't do.
GREG: Obviously the team of two were superior.
Five points to the team of two.
Hmm.
Four.
Bullshit.
No! It wasn't that bad.
There's gotta be more of a gulf than that. It was chaos.
Give 'em three points each.
OK. Team of three get three,
team of two get five points and wins the task. Well done.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK, everyone. This is it.
Please make your way to the stage for the final task of the series!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I hoped we'd end on something big.
Who is going to read the final task out?
Stevie is going to read the final task.
OK.
"Get the most carrot in your bucket.
"You must hold your hands behind your back at all times.
"You have 100 seconds."
Yes, I should say the carrot in the bucket
must be liberated from its string and helmet.
You can't just lean down, as I imagine most of you...
Oh, so it's got to be freed in some way.
It must be free. OK.
Good luck. It's the climax. WHISTLE
ROSIE: Oh, my God. What?
Oh!
Can you...? Can you do this?
It must be liberated.
CHEERING Jason's done it.
APPLAUSE
It must be... Has it got to be off the string?
Yes. It must be off the string.
It's got to be off the string. Oh, fuck off!
STEVIE SCREAMS
Come on, you little bugger.
Only 53 seconds left.
MATHEW: Whoa.
Just... Oh, God!
Oh!
Oh, my word.
Oh, lovely!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
30 seconds. Yes, Stevie!
CHEERING
No!
20 seconds.
They've both got a bit of carrot in their mouth.
What's going to happen now?
Ten seconds. Bite into it.
Bite into it and spit it out.
Oh!
Two, one...
WHISTLE
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Come on, Rosie!
She's licking it.
Hasn't the whistle gone?
Are we all finished?
Yeah, we finished a little while ago, Rosie.
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
GREG: We'll add those to your final scores.
Come down and join me.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Exactly what we were hoping for.
So, it was meant to be most carrot in the bucket.
It turned out to be more of a race,
because Jason used his technique of MILD violence this time
to manage to shake off the whole carrot almost immediately.
With speed and amount of carrot taken into account,
Jason got the five points, Stevie four, Mat three,
Rosie two, and Fatiha one point.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, it's been a strong episode for Javie Martzoukas.
Jason ends up in second place with 20 points,
but Stevie wins the episode with 22!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Stevie wins the episode!
Please double-back to the stage
and take your things that will make you double-take!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Whoo!
Well, well, well.
Our journey is at an end.
Five entered this arena, ready to give everything,
and everything they have given.
But who is about to be crowned Task Supremo?
My faithful, featureless little sausage dog,
please reveal the final scores.
OK, then. Well, it's been full on.
It's been a bit much for me.
But we have, in last place...
She was in second briefly.
..with 141 points,
it's the magnificent Fatiha!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And just above her in fourth place...
She was in second for most of the series,
but a real slump at the end.
..with 149 points, it's Rosie Ramsey!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And that's because one person has climbed above you by one point.
He was last for nearly the entirety of the series,
but Jason Mantzoukas has 150 points in third place!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Only two left.
With 154 points,
but she won this episode,
in second place, it's Stevie Martin!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And the winner, 15 points ahead, with 169 points...
Our new Taskmaster champion is...
..Mathew Baynton!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
