Oh, no.
Hello.
This programme contains strong language and adult humour
Eh.
HE GRUNTS
Nothing's ever straightforward in this stupid house.
Hello, there. I'm Greg Davies. Welcome to Taskmaster.
They say it's not the winning that counts,
it's the taking part and if you're a child watching
the pre-watershed version of this show,
I'm here to tell you an uncomfortable truth.
You're being told that, because you're not good enough.
That's the kids sorted.
Now... LAUGHTER
..let's see if we can break some adults.
Please welcome Ania Magliano... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..Maisie Adam... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..Phil Ellis... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..Reece Shearsmith... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..and Sanjeev Bhaskar. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And, next to me, a man who secretly told me,
and I really must distance myself from comments like this,
that he thinks that women are like electric vehicles,
really good as long as they're not in charge.
It's little Alex Horne. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, everyone. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good. Unfortunately, lurgy,
you've got the lurgy now. No returns.
No returns. I've had that for two months.
You've now got it and you can't get me.
Oh, cheese touch, bad luck.
Can't get me? You're now a social outcast.
Cheese touch. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, you've got loads of up dog on your waistcoat.
What's up dog?
Not much, what about you? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That has killed the atmosphere.
What's the prize task? You've been very specific,
yet incredibly vague with this one, Greg... Hm.
..as they've been asked to bring in
the best thing you can either ride, or rip.
Yes, ride or rip, or is it both? That's up to Greg,
my favourite host ever.
The winner of the episode will take home
all five things you can either ride, or rip, or both maybe,
which is pretty sick and gnarly,
but that's quite enough from me. I'll see you all later.
OK, Sanjeev, hello. What have you brought me that I might like
to ride, or rip?
I figured the most fun thing to ride...
..would be...
..Alex Horne.
Erm, according to the internet, I agree.
Yeah. But I have brought something which will allow you,
to be able to manoeuvre him.
LAUGHTER Perfectly fits Alex Horne's head.
Lovely. And obviously you've got rear-view mirrors
so you can see what's coming up behind you. Yeah.
Erm, and you've got a bell
to warn people that your Alex Horne's coming.
LAUGHTER
And I mean that in a pre-watershed way.
So, anyone can ride me, can they, with this device?
You could be on all fours
and somebody can be sitting on your back. Mm-hmm.
And they've got your head.
OK, yeah. And they turn you that way.
Also sitting on your shoulders like that. Oh, and leaning down.
Yeah. Oh, like a penny farthing, Alex.
Like a penny farthing.
Phil. Right, so, this is something that is...
You are ripping and riding at the same time.
Hello. If you'd like to show.
Here it is. Check this out.
So, you're ripping off a very famous Monty Python joke...
..and you're riding an imaginary... Could be a pony,
could be a horse.
Could be a camel, depends what mood you're in.
And it's... I've put a nice little ribbon on it,
so you can wear it round like mittens through your coat.
MAISIE LAUGHS
Don't lose one. Because if you lose one,
you're just a madman waving round half a coconut. Yeah.
On the M1. No, when you're on the M1,
you've got two, you're looking great.
Yeah, yeah. They go,
"Oh, don't beep your horn near him, you'll startle her."
I like it. Maisie. I've gone all ride on this one.
I'm hoping it will please you, Greg.
It's even been mentioned so far.
It's a personalised Greg Davies... LAUGHTER
..penny farthing.
ALEX: It's pretty good. It's pretty amazing.
It is gonna be a struggle for you to get in that seat,
but, my God, it will feel brilliant.
Once you're in, you're in, aren't you?
Once you're in, you're in. Famously.
That's what I always say. Oh, these are all good,
someone's gonna mess up, aren't they? Reece.
Well, I've gone ride and rip. And in the '70s,
we used to have dare devils.
You don't get them any more,
but there was one very famous dare devil, Evil Knievel.
Evil Knievel. And I had the Evil Knievel toy.
Can I say? It's my favourite ever toy.
Amazing. Well it's that. Cos, you get the opportunity
to, sort of, ride like Evil
and the rip cord is the rip of the ride.
And there's a picture here of it. There we go, there he is.
And there he is. Rip cord racer.
I remembered the rip. There he is. Here we go.
And then up he goes and he's off. LAUGHTER
Oh. And there is a...
APPLAUSE Thank you.
There is also another rip. Yes.
Because...Evil never made it. And he did actually die.
It's a lovely double rip. Oh, that's saved him.
Cos, up to that point, he just brought in a toy.
But that little joke saved him. Ania.
I've brought in something that I've designed.
It's based on my feeling that, when I travel,
I have quite a weak bladder. Yeah.
So, I've designed something that should smoothen that situation.
Smoothen. Smoothen me.
This is Ania demonstrating it.
And she is using it in both functions during that clip.
Yeah.
Let's say if, on Monday, I wanted to go the Chelsea Flower Show.
Yeah. You... You don't... You think, erm,
they'd be fine with me riding this round? Yeah, 100%.
Just dropping turds on the floor. LAUGHTER
I think so. That's good for the soil, isn't it?
Yeah. They'd be welcoming you inside.
They'd be going, "Over here, our garden.
"The Peace Garden, The Peace Garden!"
LAUGHTER
"Quick, feed him."
Can I say one more thing? It cost me four figures.
LAUGHTER
What, you had to pay over £1,000 for it? Yeah.
Oh, my God, it'd be so funny if I gave you just one point.
Greg. Greg, please,
I'm begging you, if you do that, I will break.
OK, you've seen all five. Yeah. It's hard to separate.
I think they're all pretty good.
I mean, Reece's is the worst, but then he saved it
with that joke. But I'm not gonna give you one.
Oh. OK. Cos I liked it. I'm gonna give him two points.
But you are last, Reece. Yeah, apparently.
Two lovely points followed by three lovely points, coconuts.
Four points, the penny farthing.
But third place. But third place.
Yeah. No.
Yeah. Second place. Joint first place.
Are you kidding me? No offence, Sanjeev. Yeah.
His is a hat. Yeah, I loved it.
So, it's four points to Maisie, five points to Sanjeev and Ania.
There you go. There we go, well done.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I've gotta be honest, I don't think I scored that very well.
Erm, right, let's start with a team task.
Okey-dokey, yes, of course, but, be warned, I have word from
security that there's trouble going down at the Taskmaster museum.
O-o-oh.
ALEX WHISTLES
Staff room check.
HE WHISTLES
Pressure pad check.
Statue, in place.
Art room, clear.
HE WHISTLES
Oh, God. Reece. What's this?
Are we safe? I don't know.
Oh, there's a lot to take in here.
What's this? Oh, God. Floor plans.
Are we doing a heist? Oh, God.
Where's Alex?
Where is Alex? Oh, this is horrible.
Look. It's the house.
"Steal the statue of Archimedes."
"Steal the statue of Archimedes.
"You have 15 minutes of observation and preparation in the van."
"Then, 15 minutes to carry out your heist.
"Most sophisticated successful heist wins."
"Your time starts now."
So, we are gonna have to steal...that.
Right, where is that?
Is that Alex? Oh, look he's a policeman.
He's got important codes.
He's got important codes, OK, OK, OK.
Oh, yeah, well, let's check out his route.
So, his route is he comes out of the house.
We don't have that long, guys.
Staff room, door alarm check.
There was three beeps of two after alarm check.
Shed check. Clear.
Right, we need to get to the tool shed.
Statue room. Pressure mat alarm check.
ALARM WAILS
Good, good to know. Pressure pad. Before...
Yeah, don't step on that.
Functioning. Statue, in place.
3-0-1-0-2-2, it said. 3-0-1-0-2-2. Excellent work.
Wait, he's taking his jacket off to go to the toilet.
If he does a routine wee, that's the time to get
the jacket and the keys... Oh, yeah. Shall I set my watch?
..but with it round his neck.
ALEX STRAINS
Oh, my God.
He's not well.
So, where's...? He's in the lab.
So, he's... Now, he's in the lab.
Oh, look, he's not weeing again. Two minutes.
He wees every two minutes.
This is such good info. Excellent, yeah.
Yeah, there's the key, look there's the key.
So, they're in his top-left pocket.
Is there a way of keeping him in the toilet?
But is there something we can wedge against it?
Yeah. Let's kill him.
I mean, I was genuinely drawn into the drama of it up until that point.
Erm, I'm quite excited about this. Yeah.
It looks very dramatic. Who are we gonna see first?
Well, first to plot and then partake in
a heist are your stereotypical gangsters,
Ania, Phillip and Sanjeev.
The plan is, go to the tool shed. Well, should two of us just run
and grab as much stuff as we think is useful. Mm-hmm.
HE WHISTLES
Where is he, where is he? He's there. 3-0-1-0-2-2.
Go, guys, go. See what you can find.
Hey, how's it going?
Yeah, huge wire cutter. I'm getting a net.
Oh, yeah, get a net, let's just trap him
and kill him, I keep telling you.
Oh, where's Sanjeev?
Oh, shit. Sanjeev.
WHISPERED: Red alert.
OK.
What's this?
That's all there was in there. That's all there was?
OK, the statue has a weight sensor, maybe that could replace it.
Right. I'm just gonna have a quick look in the shed.
Statue, in place.
Is he about to go the loo soon?
OK, we've got keys.
Hello? Hello?
I don't think it worked.
Sanjeev, are you there? He's out the loo.
Interesting. He's heading to the camera-feed room.
You need to hide from the cameras now.
Hide from the cameras.
Who's that? There are two people on the camera.
He's in the camera room, did you say?
Right, I'm gonna go and investigate. He's heading out the front door.
All the cameras have gone off. All the cameras have gone off.
Where have they gone?
Hi.
Hello, sir, now, you shouldn't be here after the museum is shut.
Sorry about that. What is your name?
Pip. Yeah, I had a single out in the '90s.
Right. Go into the car park. Thank you.
Yeah, no, I do apologise about that.
I've got it, I've got it, I've got it.
ALARM HONKS
Oh, what is that?
I need someone to figure out where he is,
so that I can get back. I've got the statue.
Oh, yeah, I'll go and distract him.
Because he can only send you back here.
Hello?
Just sent Phil to distract him, cos we've got no cameras at all.
Sorry, me again. What time do you open tomorrow?
Pip, we should be open at half eight,
but if you wouldn't mind leaving the premises.
Always a pleasure. Been great.
So, we are shut at the moment. Thank you.
No, I do apologise, no problem. All right.
Thanks, mate. I've only got seven minutes left.
That's a shame.
Statue room. Pressure pad check.
ALARM HONKS Che...
Sta... Sta... Statue's gone.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You're right, you know, it is weird you don't get cast in more stuff.
Statue's gone. "Erm, erm, erm, erm, erm."
Do you know what, also, that wasn't acting.
I hadn't seen any of the footage, cos he tore
the wires out of the security, which means we didn't even record
the security footage after that, cos we weren't expecting anyone
to rip the wires out.
So, all that footage has gone
and I couldn't believe the statue had gone.
Yeah, you sort of came good at the end.
Up until that point, I don't think it's unfair
to say you might be the weak link the team.
You remembered the code. Mm-hmm.
Well done. Erm, I loved the finding an object to
replace the weight of the statue. It was all going to plan
and then we had a northern man dressed...
Dressed as a '70s pimp... LAUGHTER
..attempt to lock him in the toilet
and fail and then you became a maintenance man called Pip.
He gave a fake name, Pip,
which is short for your name, Phil. Yeah, I know.
I think every time we've done a team task,
and I say this with so much love... Oh, thanks.
..but we've been doing, one, the actual task
and then the second task of wrangling Phil.
That is a joy.
We've reached the end of the first part of our first heist.
Another lesson for you youngsters out there,
if you haven't got the things you like, steal them.
See you in a bit. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, welcome back to Taskmaster.
It's part two and our cast are planning
and participating in heists at Taskmaster Museum.
Fortunately for them, the security guard is this goon.
Hello. Yes, they're trying to seal the statue of Archimedes
and there's just one crime duo left to go.
Chill out, Kray twins, it's time for Reece Fearsmith
and Maisie Doesn't Give Adam.
Important codes.
We need to get that off him then. He needs a wee.
He's gonna need a wee. He puts it down. He puts it down.
He puts it down. Good.
Right, shall I just go in now when he's in the loo? Go now.
Can...? If you can hear me, I think he's coming out.
Oh, Jesus, she's got it. Quickly, get in.
He had this code. 3-0-1-0-2-2.
Great. Well, now, it makes me think that it's not a key, it's...
It's not a key. It's codes that are on that.
Checking security cameras.
Has he gone in the lab? Yeah, he'll be in the lab.
Shall I go now? 3-0-1-0-2-2.
Any trouble? Good.
Oh, hang on a minute.
There's someone out there...with an umbrella.
Oh, God, Reece.
SHE SQUAWKS
Excuse me, I just saw someone.
Oh, fuck. Reece, move, move, Reece. Oh, shit. Reece.
Excuse me, sir. Hi.
We're shut, I'm afraid.
Oh, I'm sorry about that. I went wrong.
Would you mind? I went round the wrong, erm...
Back to the car park, please. Which way round is it, please?
This way, sir.
Jesus Christ.
It's not a code it's a lock with the number four on it.
Go and have a look now, shall I?
Oh, hang on, there's someone on this camera. Right, off we go again.
Oh, no, he's... He's seen her, he's spotted her.
Hello. Yeah, I just saw you on the camera. You did.
Excuse me, I didn't know which way round I'm meant to be going. I...
I sent you back to the car park. Sorry.
All right, what's your name? Erm, Lindsey.
Staff room alarm check.
Oh, fucking hell. Come on.
He said he saw me on the camera.
Do you know what we do? What?
We run in and we just grab that whole box and run out with it.
You reckon? When he's in the loo now? Yeah.
Yeah. Ready.
Don't step on the mat. Just yank it.
Ah.
Yes. We're in. Well, we've stolen it.
We need to make it at least appear sophisticated.
Shall we leave him a little note? Yeah.
Thank you for the free gift.
We're going, we're going, we're going. Drive, drive!
Well, first things first, successful.
Yeah. Sophisticated. Yeah.
Tell me about the see-through umbrella disguise.
LAUGHTER
I'll tell you what happened, we didn't...
Our walkie talkies didn't work. Walkie talkies, they didn't work.
Which is why I had to resort to other modes of communication.
What a warning.
Well, it needed to attract Reece's attention, but...
But... But blend in with the atmosphere.
I know, in a sophisticated way. Shall we have a look at it?
Oh, God. Reece.
SHE SQUAWKS
Sophistication. It's just like watching Ocean's Eleven.
Incredible. Both successful. Yes.
I think the team of three were more sophisticated.
Five points to the team of three. OK.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Feels like three is fair.
I've written off what you have in your mind as fair.
You did say... LAUGHTER
Three points.
Three points to the team of two. There we go. It feels fair.
Both very entertaining. Scoreboard, please.
Yes, well, Sanjeev, we know, has not won an episode yet
but he's joint in the lead with Ania on ten points.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
This could be the one. This could be the one.
On with another task, please. Oh, yes, please.
And it's that time in the series when we get grim.
AS HANNIBAL LECTER: Good evening, Alex.
I know they would never have let me out of here while I'm alive.
Quid pro quo, I tell you things, you tell me, you tell me things.
AS HIMSELF: Hi. Chris Eubank?
Sorry? Chris Eubank? Yeah, who was it supposed to be?
It was Hannibal Lector. Oh, was it? Oh, lovely. Lovely.
Chris Eubank.
You look ready. Glad it looks that way.
This is wet. Yeah, that's my fault.
SHE CHUCKLES
"Dribble a technicolour picture of your hero."
"Your technicolour picture must only be made
"from things that have travelled..."
"Directly from your mouth."
"To the tray through the air."
"And cannot be tampered with post dribble."
"Best technicolour dribble picture wins."
"You have 15 minutes. Your time starts now."
Are there colours available somewhere?
You may leave the room. OK.
I may not be coming back. Right.
Just so you know.
You looking forward to it, Chris Eubank?
Can you do a Chris Eubank, just for the record?
AS CHRIS EUBANK: Yes, of course I can.
Let's crack on.
OK. First to demonstrate their committal
to spittle are Ania, Sanjeev and Reece Shearspit.
So, we've got some items here. There's not many different colours.
It's hard to find colours. Anyway, do you want...
Shall I tell you afterwards who it is? Up to you.
I have some supplies.
Yes, it must be technicolour, so this is good.
An artist prepares.
Sorry, I forgot what the rules were.
Excellent.
I'm gonna draw... Dribble.
Dribble... SHE CHUCKLES
..William Shakespeare.
Getting that in there then. What's the liquid?
It's coffee. OK.
CROWD GROAN
I have a question. Erm, I need to go to the loo,
does that come out of my time? Or do you pause it?
It comes out of your time, Sanjeev.
It's not right, it's not right.
Welcome back. Thank you very much.
Seven minutes now.
CROWD GROAN
Very accurate. Thank you.
Sometimes, you've gotta be bold.
CROWD GROAN
Oh.
It's him in his old age. Writing his last play.
CROWD GROAN
You know when you can sometimes...
You don't know when to stop. I think I'm gonna stop. Yeah.
That's it. That's it.
Done. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What I initially wrote down was that Ania was quite,
sort of, traditionally lady like in the way that she dribbled
the picture until suddenly you turned into the exorcist.
You achieved a 30 second dribble, a constant...
Constant, half-minute stream. Really? Whoa!
I'm not sure that's something to be proud of.
I thought Sanjeev was, erm, nicely controlled.
He was in the toilet for most of the task. Mm.
I mean, honestly, though, Reece, you...
For most of it, you looked like someone in Watford high street on
a Saturday night... LAUGHTER
..honking up.
I expected you to go, "Get my brother. Get my brother."
HE RETCHES
I think it's because of what the colour was.
Yeah, the colours. The choice of colour did not help
the, erm, overall image. OK.
Let's start with Shakespeare. Let's.
Everyone's hero, really.
This is Ania's take on William Shakespeare.
LAUGHTER
Is that it?
So, let's focus on the ruff. Yeah, the ruff is everything.
The ruff is there. I did actually make a note,
I was surprised by how much
the squirty cream looked like a ruff when it was going on.
It's good, isn't it? And then... So, that's his pen,
his quill. The... The... The red at the bottom. Mm.
I mean, honest to God, it's rubbish.
And then the orange is like back, cos it was in mediaeval times,
that's like the, erm... What... Air looked like that.
LAUGHTER
Pollution, cos they didn't have air conditioning.
Cos of the smog. Cos of the smog. Mm.
Oh, yeah. Oh, no, it is good.
Sorry, sorry, this...
Erm, because this is bugging me slightly... Yes.
Right, the... He was in the late 1600s. Yeah.
He was pre-smog. They didn't have factories.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Don't clap that.
Ooh. It's a good point.
Someone doesn't know about
the industrial revolution. Who's next?
Well, see if you can work out who Sanjeev's hero is.
LAUGHTER You're back in the game.
Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously, I'm not gonna be able to guess it.
You'll kick yourself. It's Gene Wilder.
LAUGHTER
It's the smile, the smile gives it away. The smile, the nose.
I can see it now. Oh, God.
Once you start looking at it, you see Gene Wilder.
There's Wonka.
And he's got that trademark factory smog around the edge.
Who's next? Well, we have a recognised artist here.
Reece Shearsmith has done this person.
Can you work out who this is? Here we go.
Wow. Oh.
That's great. Who's the old actor,
erm, Reece keeps mentioning? Boris Karloff.
You're in the ball park. You're in the right world.
Is it Dracula? It is Dracula.
Yes, it's Dracula. Cool.
It's Dracula.
You were right, you only did need those two colours.
Bat in the corner. Yeah.
Yeah, the widow's peak. The moon, as well, is up there.
The dark, foreboding atmosphere. Oh, the eyes, the eyes.
The eyes. The red, burning eyes.
They're so haunting.
OK, it's time to pause
and reflect on the horrors we've just seen.
Make granddad a cup of tea.
And wake him up, we've got dribbling covered.
Hello. Welcome to the start of part three.
I'm afraid there's a drool-based art task which still needs completing.
Yes, it's a horrible thing and I really, really enjoy it.
We have double dribbles to end with, it's Maisie and Phil.
Wonderful, right, well, you'll be surprised
to know I'm not gonna leave this room.
I'm gonna do it all from everything we've got right here.
Only joking, that would be genuinely insane.
Right.
How do we feel about crayons?
Oh. We're off.
There he is. Ol' Blue Eyes himself.
Drier than you think, chalk.
Oh, wow.
Oh.
And it can't be tampered with once it's fallen.
Oh, you...tit.
Well, you've got two minutes now.
Fill in the gaps.
Recognisable? Yeah. Spitting image.
That's good. Literally.
SHE LAUGHS
Spitting. Spitting image.
Yeah, I'll write that down. Write that down.
Now, that is pretty good.
WHISTLE BLOWS
You're welcome.
Thank you. Thanks for your time.
See you, Phil. I feel sick.
Well, I quote Phil, "I'm gonna stay in the lab
"and just chew up the task.
"I'm only joking, that would be genuinely insane."
Were you all told you could leave the room? No.
I did leave off my own accord, if I'm honest.
Sanjeev had to go to the loo.
Yeah, and that... And that time wasn't taken off,
I'm still kind of shocked at that.
It means if I'd had a heart attack, at some point, when
the paramedics were working on me, you would've said, "Time's up."
I'd be...
So, yes, Maisie, we, I guess, presumed people would think,
"Well, I have to leave the room,
"because there was nothing in the room."
Well, cos I looked around at what I had available
and thought, "Well, it must be the envelope."
Did you eat the word technicolour first, do you think?
Oh, shut up, Phil.
Have a look at what this lady's done with her mouth.
This is... LAUGHTER
This is her technicolour picture of her hero.
Look at the tie-slash... Yeah, there's a tie.
Slash-microphone.
It's not as bad as I was expecting, to be fair. It is very much a face.
And I've met Rod Stewart
and he looks almost exactly the same as that. It's Rod Stewart.
It's all right. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, I haven't seen the picture yet. Hm.
From the angle we've seen it at, it looks like madness.
It's quite accurate. OK.
There it is. LAUGHTER
I remember it as a lot better than that.
It's like Scanners when the head blows up.
Is it Elvis? No.
No, that's his gorgeous red hair. Hucknall.
Erm, you know. Hucknall, it is. It is Mick Hucknall.
It's Mick Hucknall.
Is it?!
Let's put all five up there.
What a line up that would be for Taskmaster series 21 though, eh?
Some of them have only got two colours,
but I won't penalise that, because the main thing is
the likeness and, on this occasion, I'm going to give Ania one point.
MAISIE SCOFFS Aw.
I'm so sorry.
I like the character,
but he doesn't look like Gene Wilder. I'm gonna give,
erm, two points to Sanjeev. OK.
Against all odds, I'm giving Rod Stewart three points.
Even more against the odds, I'm giving Mick Hucknall,
cos there's an element of animation to it, four points.
And, clearly, even though there are only two colours,
Dracula is the superior painting, five points to Reece.
Five points to Reece Shearsmith. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's cool all right. Shall we have another task?
We shall and, just like Greg in his teaching days,
this one involves me getting hammered at work.
Oh, nice head tattoo. Thank you, Ania, in you go.
Do I look about for the task maybe? Yes, if you want, sure.
Nice.
Is it in a thing?
Hm, no.
What is the task and where is it?
Someone's rustling. Oh. Thank you.
Oh. HE CHUCKLES
Oh, it's there, God. Oh, hello.
Oh. Do you like pantomimes?
Why? Erm... Oh, yes, I do. Oh, yes, I do.
Oh, no, you don't. Oh, yes, I do.
Do you? Yes.
This is like a really low-budget kids' show. Not low budget.
No, this is like a really high-budget kids' show.
Sometimes, it's behind you. It's behind you. That's the...
"Get exactly 63 points by bopping Alex on the head."
"You must shout a different type of food on each bop
"to register the bop."
"If you bop anyone other than Alex,
"five bops will be deducted from your total score."
"You must stay in the hutch."
"And the fastest wins."
"Your time starts on the whistle."
Is one bop one point?
63 points are on my head. There'll be other heads.
So, if you get me once, that'll do it.
Oh. Seems easy then.
Well, looks like we're off, it's pretty straightforward,
bop this, erm... This clown on the head.
Yeah, bit of fun. Bit of fun. Let's go.
Let's go, let's see a marauding Maisie,
a savage Sanjeev
and a rampaging Reece bop till they drop.
OK, so, I've gotta try and bop your head
and say food stuffs?
Oh, no what are these.
Oh, I see.
Five points, that one. OK.
One.
Oh, right OK.
That's Greg. Mm, so, you've got minus ten.
What?
Oh.
Oh, ten points.
Still minus ten. But I got him.
Minus ten. But I got him.
I can't register the bop. Minus ten.
Now, listen, I can't register any of these bops. Why?
All the information's on the... On the task.
Fuck.
Right.
Lovely.
Erm...
Need a food. A...
A... A...
A...
This is gonna take bloody forever.
Yeah, you're on 21 points.
Erm...
You're using the guitar now.
Oh, there's something by your waist.
What? Urgh.
That was a rather creepy one.
Oh. Didn't I bop that, that was a bop.
Yeah, but you didn't say a food, unfortunately. Argh!
This is just annoying now.
Well, what's happened to his head?
Oh. Erm...
Oh. Ah.
Yes, you got me, so, now, you're on plus 72.
Yeah, you've gone over now. Ah. I see.
Ah.
69. You've got too many now. Now, you need to hit a few Gregs.
Erm...
Right.
We're now on 59.
OK, you're on 62 now.
So, you just need one of me that's worth one.
WHISTLE BLOWS I've stopped the clock.
Erm...
I've stopped the clock.
Got it. Whoo. I've stopped the clock.
Thank you.
Oh, God.
Maisie, have you ever worked at a supermarket?
I wrote down that run, broccoli, carrot,
butternut squash, Big Mac, Chicken Supreme Wrap.
It's really hard.
It's... This task was so infuriating.
Reece was far more specialist. You were like a deli. Yeah.
There were only three things
and they were shouted with such passion.
AS REECE: Fishes!
Fishes, pistachio, aubergine.
Yes, I mean the others were just as classy. Sugar-snap peas.
Whoa!
Fascinating little runs from you.
Lovely little concentrated runs. Not much action.
Then, all of a sudden, "Beef, pork, chicken."
And then there was that lovely curry run at the end.
Absolutely poetry.
Erm, I mean runs and curry do go together.
That's good. He's good!
All right then, we're nearly there. In the final part of the show,
someone will triumph and then travel home
on a toilet courtesy of Ania Magliano.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you! Welcome back to part four of Taskmaster. Yes, hello.
And a special shout out to any funeral directors watching today.
Thank you. LAUGHTER
Before the break they were trying to
get exactly 63 points by bopping Alex on the head.
Let's see Ania and Phil and mallets and me.
And... I don't know what... I don't...
I don't wanna just bop you on the head.
What? Oh, I think that is you. Bop. Erm... Erm... Erm...
No, that's too slow.
Lovely.
No, you missed that.
I mean, if you get my head, that'll give you a lot of points.
That's not your head, you're tricking me. That's Greg's head.
That's correct.
Oh. Maca...
Why am I struggling? Wait a minute, there's another way?
Dunno.
Oh, look, yes, yes. Right.
Oh.
Lovely.
Never had it.
Well, you've knocked the head off that now.
I've got it.
You're on 62, you need one more point. One more.
So, you're now on 58 points. OK.
63.
And that's your time over. Yes.
Oh, there's a camera in this.
Mwah.
I mean, was there either of those shopping baskets
that's more middle class than the other?
Frangipane tart. Is that your go-to?
Don't know what that is.
Egg, potatoes. Loved it. Although, oh, man,
the thing that got me is your first guess.
There's, I'm sure, now,
a fairly offensive character called Porky Pig,
do you remember Porky Pig? Oh, erm, yeah.
And he had a bit of a speech impediment... Yeah.
..and you did that at the beginning.
You went, "Huh-beh-huh-beh-huh-beh, kumquat."
Which was most incredible.
I've never had to say it under pressure before.
Well, shall I do the timings?
Huh-beh, do the timings.
Erm, the quickest, in 2:29, was Ania.
Well done, that's five points to Ania.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Lovely.
Yeah. Then we go Phil, 4:44, Sanjeev, 5:51,
Maisie, 6:39 and, far slower than everyone else,
Reece, one point, 8:45.
Let's have a look at some scores.
Yes, well, in the series, it's still tight,
11 points separating all five of them.
Ooh. I know.
Like anyone could win the series?
Anyone could win the series.
In this particular episode, tight, Sanjeev, you're on 15,
but Ania and Phil are in the lead with 16.
ANIA AND PHIL: Oh.
OK, everyone, will you please head to the stage for
the final task of the show.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Oh. Oh, I didn't see that.
Who will be reading the task?
That one, Maisie Adam.
"Avoid the Taskmaster's big ball.
"You must stand on the circle, but you must not step on any gold.
"You must be facing
"and staring at the Taskmaster sign at all times
"and after the Taskmaster releases his big ball,
"you may each take one step. The first person touched by
"the Taskmaster's big ball each round is eliminated.
"Last player standing wins."
So, after he releases his ball, we're allowed one step.
Yeah, one step...each round. I will...
Can we get undressed? MAISIE LAUGHS
A little, a little bit.
Erm, why do you want to get undressed?
So that there's less, like, stuff to be touched.
Oh, you think this is a game of millimetres, do you?
Sure. Alex.
Please, take the contestants to the ball zone.
This way, please. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
You can take any spot, you must be facing that way.
Where's he swinging it from?
Swinging it from here. Well, yeah.
Wanna be over here then, don't you?
But you must be facing that Taskmaster sign.
OK clothes off.
LAUGHTER
CHEERING AND WHOOPING
Yeah, can we face it like this?
That's side on, that's side on.
You can't... You can't take your eyes off the Taskmaster sign.
Well, that's fine then.
Here we go. Good luck.
GREG ROARS
Oh, this seems cruel. Ania standing.
Phil, please, go and sit in the elimination zone. Phil, everyone.
I mean, that was heroic.
So, Phil is eliminated. OK, right.
Remember, you're looking at the Taskmaster sign, please.
Yeah, you can dodge and weave, but you must be standing up.
Good luck, everyone, round two.
Ready? REECE AND ANIA: Yeah.
GREG ROARS
Oh, there's a step from Ania.
Oh, lovely. Oh.
Oh. Oh, lovely. Oh.
Reece Shearsmith has gone.
Reece is eliminated. Hand me back the golden ball.
OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am about to release the ball. Oh, my word.
Behold my ungodly strength. HE ROARS
One step. OK, that's a step from everyone except for Maisie. Lovely.
Lovely.
Sanjeev is out...and pleased. Bring me back my ball.
It's horrible, isn't it? This is it.
Ready.
The strength is unholy. HE ROARS
Oh, what an angle. One step.
Oh, lovely. Maisie still has hers.
Eh!
CROWD ROAR Oh, it's another step.
We've lost Ania. We've lost Ania.
Maisie is the winner. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's all go down and we'll work out the final scores.
Oh, that was electric.
Oh. Obviously, we saw the finalists were Ania and Maisie,
but the five points went to Maisie in the end.
For standing still.
Well, it means that, with 20 points today,
our winner is at that end of the seats. It's Ania Magliano.
Whoa! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ania wins.
Please, go up to relish in your things to ride, or rip.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, what have we learnt today?
Well, this is a stressful world, guys. It's full of technology,
industry and noise. It's important to get away from it all,
head to the glorious, English countryside,
be at one with nature and just let the wildlife speak to you.
RECORDING OF MAISIE'S SQUAWK
LAUGHTER
But, now, let's applaud our winner on the loo, it's Ania Magliano.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
