Ah! Nnh, spla! Ooh!
Is this a joke?
Yeah!
Hmm. Oh!
Oh, I like that!
Wow! Hmm.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello! Hello, and welcome to Taskmaster.
I'm Greg Davies and I've been Taskmaster for some time now,
and sometimes children stop me in the street
and they say, "Why are you so mean?"
And I always smile and I reply,
"Why are you talking to me? You don't know me.
"Where are your parents anyway? What are you, feral?
"Look at me. Look at me, are you crying now, are you?
"Good, get your mum.
"Get your mum and I'll tell her the same.
"I'm not scared of your mum."
So, let's meet the in-studio children
desperate for Daddy's approval.
They are Alan Davies, Desiree Burch,
Guz Khan, Morgana Robinson
and Victoria Coren Mitchell.
And sitting next to me, a man who once drunkenly told me
that when it comes to childcare,
he doesn't think his wife Rachel pulls her weight.
It's... little Alex Horne!
Might be the worst one, I think.
How are you? I'm all right. I'm very calm.
Oh, good, why are you so calm?
I've started meditating.
I'm listening to some motivational confidence-boosting music.
Can I hear it?
It's quite personal. Let's have a listen.
I don't know if this will work.
FROM EARPHONES: # Cos he's just a man called Greg
♪ He's just a man called Greg
He's just a man called Greg
♪ He's just a man called Greg
He's just a man called Greg
♪ You'll be the Taskmaster soon... ♪
That's all there is, that's all there is.
You may well end up being the Taskmaster soon,
but I promise you this, there is only one way that will happen
and I will have to die.
Good, right, what have we got for the prize task this week?
Well, Greg, you've asked them
to bring in the best thing that has quite a few layers.
Ooh, five points will be awarded
for the best thing with quite a few layers
and the winner of the episode will go home
all layered up like the thick leg of an Arctic explorer
all wrapped up in lovely thermals
from one of those outdoor equipment shops. Right. Victoria. Yes.
What's the thing you've brought in with lots of layers?
A poultry farmer. Oh.
Here it is. OK, little toy poultry farmer with lots of chickens.
Oh, layers! Layers. Oh. Very punny.
It's, it's a joke.
It's a pun, and I love jokes. And the joke is... Layers.
Yeah, chickens lay eggs. Egg-zactly! Yeah. They lay.
Oh, you were waiting for that setup.
Yeah. And that's just got more points.
I assumed you liked humour!
Let's be absolutely clear, it is a joke. OK.
Where's a thing with a lot of layers? Here, because they lay eggs.
Da-da! It's a joke. I thank you, I've decided. OK. Desiree.
What I brought in is a Nilla wafer pudding.
Uh, it is a banana pudding with these vanilla wafers.
It's one of those things that's like my mom used to make.
It's like, you know, like, moms have a recipe
that has, like, some martyrdom inside
and it makes it taste extra good? I don't know how to do that.
So I made my version and I hope you like it.
Here is her Nilla cake.
Mums have martyrdom inside?
Yes, they have this sainthood of being like,
"You ruined my vagina and my life.
"Everything I will make you will taste amazing
"because you can never achieve this level of sainthood."
I've never sensed that in my mum's cooking.
Guz. Hello. I mean, you're gonna crash straight ahead of these two,
I know it. What have you bought in that's got layers?
I bought a load of my jackets
and I put as many as humanly possible on Alex.
Here I am in all his coats.
And let me explain why and justify why I did this, OK? Uh...
Please justify, because I can feel these people
moving forward on their seats.
What I would argue is that this show, and possibly your role...
Yeah. ..wouldn't be what it is without him.
Yeah. And therefore, him, in all my coats...
Can I tell you? Yeah.
You've just blown it.
LAUGHTER
Pudding's looking real tasty right now, huh? Yeah. Man.
If someone could tell me a joke
while I was filling my face full of that pudding...
HE WHISTLES APPRECIATIVELY
Morgana. Vegetable lasagne.
Vegetable lasagne. Here it is. Right.
Not even one that looks nice.
I like to eat mine in the dark. OK?
It's creamy, it's comforting. Jesus.
It's delicious. There's no meat in it because I'm saving the planet.
Yeah. Sometimes the things that look the worst taste scrumptious.
Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.
I've been saying that for years. It's rubbish. Good. Alan.
Uh, I have brought in a wig which was made in the '90s
for a double of me. Here is the wig. My God!
That really was an absolute replica of what,
what I looked like in about 1997. Has it got layers?
It definitely has got layers. And layers, according to Cosmopolitan,
will make your hair more full and swingy
and leave you with tresses that beg to be touched.
Wow.
Ready?
Ready. Yes. OK, I'm gonna give one point... Right.
..to Morgana's lasagne, because it was rubbish. Hmm. I'm one?!
I'm gonna give twice as many points to Victoria's joke,
and I want you to reflect on that.
I'm giving three points to Guz
because you spoke positively about Alex, and I don't like him.
I'm giving four points to you
because the banana layered cake looked delicious
and I feel sorry for what you did to your mum. Yeah.
And finally, just to annoy everybody,
I'm giving a man who found an old wig in his attic five points.
That's Taskmaster and if you don't like it, tough shit!
Five points to Alan Davies. Tweet, tweet as much as you like.
@ me!
Five points to Alan Davies. Outrageous.
Right, come on, let's get going.
Yes, well, slow down, speed demon.
Let's just take it nice and easy, reduce the pace and have a race.
♪ Oh! ♪
Hello. Hi, Guz. You all right?
"Complete the course as slowly as possible."
I need a wee.
"You must be riding the bicycle forwards
"within the limits of the course at all times."
"Every time you put a foot on the ground,
"the clock will be paused and your final time will be halved."
That is not very nice.
"If you leave the course or miss an instruction,
"your time will also be halved
"and the clock will be paused until you are back in position."
"Slowest wins."
"Your time starts when Alex fires his starter's pistol
"in five minutes from now."
Alex, is there anything really basic that you don't know how to do?
What can't you do, Victoria?
I never really learned to ride a bicycle. Ah.
OK, so... Burst the red water balloon in this bucket.
Are you joking? I have to do something as well as riding a bike?
Where is he? Take the hat from the mannequin
and put it on the other mannequin. Fun times.
Ah, read the letter. On a bicycle.
Are you good at cycling?
Well, I mean, I can cycle.
How hard can this be?
You don't have one with stabilisers, I suppose? No.
I mean, I've seen it done.
It's not like... agh! OK.
Agh! Is it literally...
how long have I got to learn to ride a bike, a minute?
One minute. One minute.
Aah! But how do you make it stop?
Shit!
Argh! How are you feeling?
Ugh, like I've just been high-beamed in the crotch, really.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Well, we can already see that all five of our mighty contestants
are going to be hilarious doing this.
There is one attempt that I am looking forward to
more than the others.
Can you guess who it is? Yeah.
Do you know what, the thing is, I'm now feeling quite liberated.
Hang on a minute, before you go off on one,
let me ask you a direct question. Yes.
Why can't you ride a bike?
I just, I don't know.
We were in central London.
There was a lot of traffic.
I never, I never had a bike.
I mean, the fact that you're prepared to have a go at it is...
Yeah. Delicious.
And can I just check you're happy with the phrase
"High-beamed in the crotch?"
I was more than happy with "High-beamed in the crotch."
Did you have a choice of bike?
Yes, but that other bike is too small.
I'm gonna look like a bear in a circus trying to do that thing.
And so I just had to take the man's bike.
Right, let's go.
OK, well, first of all, we're going to see Alan, Desiree and Morgana.
On your marks, get set, slow.
OK, good luck, Alan.
Good luck, Morgana. Thank you.
Good luck, Desiree. Jesus.
Your time starts... task.
SHE LAUGHS
This is going way too fast.
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh.
Argh!
Oh, it didn't burst. What do I do?
Well, what do the instructions say?
Start again?
Oh, Jeez.
Oh, no!
I've just paused the clock.
It'll be back on when you get to where you were.
Ooh! Oh!
Third time is totally the charm.
But, no come, come back here. Oh, God.
OK. All right. OK.
What's going on? I need that hat, though, aah! OK.
SHE WHISTLES
There's the mannequin.
This is gonna be the first time I've ever been fast at anything.
Get on there, argh!
Can't reach it, I can't reach it, I can't reach it.
You're circling him.
Argh!
Stop, you bastard!
Stop.
Aah!
I am a speedy cyclist!
Oh, no. Aah!
I'm a speedy cyclist!
Go away!
I've stopped the clock.
Oh.
Yeah!
I'm a speedy cyclist!
I am a speedy cyclist.
I've stopped the clock.
Thank you, Morgana. Welcome.
APPLAUSE
Throughout the series so far,
I've tried not to be ageist towards Alan
because I'm a man of a certain vintage myself,
but I couldn't help but thinking that's how you ride a bike anyway.
Very much so. Desiree, I know you were worried
about, you know, being high-beamed in the crotch
but my feeling was, it was like ballet watching you. Just poised.
It's never been said about me,
so I will receive it as though it were sincere.
Morgana, tried to do a little cheat,
little whistle when Alex's back was turned.
If only we'd remembered all those pesky cameras.
I can't really tell from the video how well they did.
So give me some statistics.
Yeah, well, I can tell you
that Morgana made a mistake with the balloon.
It was meant to be a red balloon. Oh, man.
I didn't read that.
And she was also fairly quick on the bicycle.
She did the whole course in 68 seconds.
She made nine mistakes,
so 68 divided by two nine times,
she did the whole course in one sixteenth of a second. Oh.
Whereas Alan did it in 72 seconds and made five mistakes.
That divided by two five times is two and a half seconds.
And Desiree, 84 seconds, five mistakes,
so she is the slowest so far, 2.625 seconds. Very good.
Time for some adverts now.
Hope there's one
with a rapper selling food he wouldn't himself touch in real life.
Hello, again. Thank you for joining us for the second part of the show.
What's been happening, Alex?
Well, I just enjoyed a banoffee pie-flavoured vape
with the guys outside.
Also, the current task is to complete our bike course
as slowly as possible.
For the final race we've got Guz Khan and,
in the interests of contrast,
first-time cyclist Victoria Coren Mitchell. Here we go.
Good luck, Guz.
OK, brother.
On your marks, get set, task.
Oh.
Aah!
OK, oh. Uh... You haven't crossed the line yet, it's all right.
OK, all right. OK.
We're off. Ah! Oh, my God, oh, my God!
I think the trick is constant motion. Is that how it works?
OK. Aah! I have to pick up a thing?
Yes, please.
But, uh, that's so dangerous.
Right, I'm gonna have to stop to pick it up.
OK.
Whoo-ha-ha-ha!
Aah, aah! OK, OK.
Come on, there we go.
There, there, ah! Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!
I can't, oh.
I was actually psyched up to drop it in and then I didn't.
I can't do it with one hand. There we go.
Oh!
OK, OK, OK, there we go.
There... Ah, ah!
Aah! No, I'm sorry.
You can't do this with one hand.
A-ha!
It's too fast. It's too fast.
Put that on there.
I'm a speedy cyclist.
I am a speedy cyclist.
Now I've gotta post it. Aah.
It goes very quickly downhill!
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
I've stopped the clock.
Is it finished? Oh, thank God.
I've stopped the clock.
Can I try riding it a bit more? I feel like I've found a new skill.
Ah. Ha!
Do you know, without the stress of the tasks,
it's actually much easier.
Look at that! Oh, my God! Oh! Aah!
APPLAUSE
Ah.
It's actually quite touching to see you learn to ride a bike,
and yet I was still hoping you'd crash into that hedge.
Guz, I thought you were just magnificent at this task
up until the final pedal technique, which I'm fascinated by.
The pedalling down, I'm gonna call it.
Yeah, it's because I had to get off.
It was really hurting and I said it to him about ten times.
And did he help you? Of course not. You heard him in the task.
I asked him a question and his response was "all right",
it wasn't even answering the question.
I'm intrigued as to what Guz did because until pedalling down,
he looked like a professional.
He looked good, but he was fast.
64 seconds, he completed the course, seven mistakes,
so when you do the maths, his final time was half a second.
OK, and how did the person who's never ridden a bike before... aw!
She was the slowest time out of everyone, 95 seconds.
She was stationary for quite a lot of the time.
Uh, eight times she put the foot down,
so ended up with 0.124, just under an eighth of a second,
so she comes fourth.
Morgana is last
but the winner of the task, with 2.65 seconds, was Desiree Burch.
Desiree Burch. Yes. Yeah, baby.
Now, what does that do to our scoreboard?
OK, well, we've got joint leaders. It's these two.
Desiree and Alan have nine points. Lovely.
Let's have another one.
Yes, and now for a nice round of toast.
Hello, Alan. Hi. Do you want to go into the kitchen?
Oh, you probably shouldn't stick that kind of thing in the toaster.
It's a bit dangerous, innit? It's very dangerous. Eh?
Be very careful.
Is no one checking for, like, asthma?
There's a lot of danger in here.
Argh!
Oh!
Aah! Jesus.
I don't feel very well.
"Spread jam on a slice of toast in a really cool way."
"Coolest jam spreading wins."
I've 20 minutes?
"Your time starts now."
Oh, God.
If I knew what cool was,
I would not have arrived at this point in my life.
Alex, I don't wanna blow my own trumpet here, brother,
but I think the public perception of me is that I'm quite cool.
If you are cool, Guz, what makes cool?
Because honestly, you looked pretty frightened
when that toaster went off.
Yeah, OK, listen.
I would argue that something popping out that was on fire at anybody
would make them not look cool.
The time when I was really like,
"OK, I might be cool" is when I was a teacher.
You were also a teacher. I was.
I was the guy that would walk in the school in the morning
and the kids'd be like, "Yes, Khan, wagwan with you?"
I'd be like, "Yeah, yeah,", this and that.
And when my colleagues came in,
the kids would be like, "You're a dickhead!"
So I was like, "Yeah, I'm like the coolest up there
"and everyone else is a dickhead."
It's a fair... it's a fair point.
Good. That does make you cool, being friends with the children.
Right, let's have a look. Who are we gonna see first?
We're gonna begin with MorGuz-ha. MorGuz-ha. Here they are.
Uh, let me do one just with my natural flavour, OK? OK.
Let me see if you think this is cool, all right? OK.
That was quite cool then.
You see how I did that? Flicked it... ow, shit!
That's not so cool that I burnt myself for real.
I think that's the whole freezer.
In bed with Morgana.
Whoo!
Now? Now!
Wow! Are you ready?
Yes. Just a little more enthusiasm, my G.
Are you ready? Oh, yes! Oh, I like that!
So close.
All right, thanks, Morgana.
Cool guys.
Lot of cool going on in there.
Guz said, "Let me just do one with my natural flavour."
LAUGHTER
Then you, uh, flicked the lid of the jam jar off. Yeah.
At that point, I was thinking, "That's not that cool."
Then you burnt your hand.
I was thinking, "Oh, no, that isn't, no, that's definitely not cool."
And then he shattered my expectations. Ooh. Ooh.
Because I am surprised
by how cool I found applying jam to toast with two croquet mallets.
Yeah. That is cool.
I actually did find myself going, "That's pretty cool."
Um, Morgana, I think you may have misread the task.
Uh, we wanted you to try and look cool
while putting jam on some toast.
I think you might have read, "Have a full breakdown."
I generally have... I'll have one of those every day.
What was that that you popped down your top? Cornettos!
That was In Bed With Madonna. It was a terrible idea.
Well, I was using my cool-o-meter throughout. Hmm.
I thought "Oh, this is awful. We probably need to intervene."
Yeah. Up until right at the end,
when you took a little bite of your pea-covered jam toast.
Yeah, uh... I thought, "Fairly cool." Lucky me.
Cool as you like.
Let's see some others.
OK, two really cool people next.
They're your classic jam spreaders, Alan and Desiree.
BELL DINGS
That's cool. Hey, toast, hey, little toastie.
Difficult to say, really.
It's all in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?
You know, what's really cool is...
Oh, I love you. I love you so much, you little beautiful toast.
Ahh.
AUDIENCE GROAN
Fine, get away! I never loved you.
It's always cool to have one pair sort of in here, isn't it? Yeah.
It's quite cool to have one pair on top of your head.
Wow.
Oh, that felt really cool.
Oh, yeah, I guess I should put a political statement up here.
But first, it would be super cool if her boobies stayed up.
Yeah! All right.
Oh, no!
You'd be hard pressed to think of a cooler way.
A whole strawberry there. Is there?
I was just mentioning that for health and safety reasons
cos of the power of this thing.
So all the kids are socialists these days.
He's swaggering around the hotel gardens.
Oh, no, he's going to blow leaves. He's going to blow leaves.
What's the point? But actually...
That!
That is a game changer.
This is temporary.
It's going to rain, but the memory of what was once there will
still have an impact.
The coolest thing I saw was Alan ringing that little bell.
Is it cool to spit lick some jam onto toast?
It felt rock and roll.
I don't think it's going to get you invited to cool parties.
Oh, get that girl that spits jam onto toast!
There was a moment where I thought that Alan...
..that Alan walking round the garden with three
pairs of sunglasses on with a leaf blower in his hand and some jam
toast in one hand, I thought, there is something quite cool about that.
But it was when you started blowing jam from the blower onto
the toast that you lost cool points.
An anti-capitalist stance is certainly cool. Yes, right?
I'm not sure the anti-capitalist stance was driven
home by the toast-titted woman.
Yeah, but you know like sex is still used to get across messages,
even in politics, you know?
Yeah, well, listen, who am I to judge, but...
Well, you're the Taskmaster.
Yeah, but who am I to judge
whether a square-titted toast woman is sexy or not, is what I mean.
Right, let's have another break.
My nan always said someone's always trying to sell you something.
She was, with the best will in the world, terrible company.
See you in five.
Hello. Welcome back to Taskmaster and to part three.
Hey! I do the numbers, you cheeky cow.
Sorry, I didn't know that was going to come out like that!
The task in play sees our five wannabe winners trying to
spread some jam in a really cool way.
There's just one hip cat left - it's Victoria.
My question, Alex, both about this task...
I mean, it's a question I've been asking since I was a teenager, who decides what's cool?
Since you were a teenager,
Greg Davies has always decided what's cool.
What I think's cool is, you know, customising your own inhaler.
You know what I mean? Like having different
glasses for different occasions.
Not necessarily a motorbike.
This is another thing about cool people.
They're daredevils, aren't they?
They have little regard for their own health.
My thinking is, right, that, by using the spade for gardening, look,
it's got some... And then spreading it like that.
If I eat this toast
and don't think about what might have been on the spade or the germs
or what might happen to me, a lot of people would be preoccupied with,
you know, what if they got a bit ill and they got a bit sick? And not me.
No. Whoa, that was cool!
I literally don't care.
Is it gritty?
I'm not delighted by it.
There's literally a bit of mud! That's disgusting, but cool, yes.
Thanks, Victoria.
Have you ever customised your own inhaler?
I have done that, yes.
Oh, you have? Did you bedazzle your inhaler?
Yeah. You stuck jewels to it? Yeah.
Well, not jewels, but little glittery stickers.
Oh, Victoria!
But, as you can see from there, I just, I don't fear death.
In fact, the more this series goes on, the more I yearn for it.
And that is literally the only cool thing about me.
Here we go, then.
I am going to put Desiree and Morgana on two points each.
Although there were cool moments, the overall flavour was unhinged.
Not cool. Very cool!
All the coolest people are unhinged!
I'm going to give three points just because of her defiance to the
jam-spreading trowel-wielder that is Victoria Coren Mitchell.
Three cool points, OK.
Here we go, and just because he dinged that bell beautifully
and then when he held the leaf blower for a beat
and looked around the garden as if he doesn't care what people
think, I'm going to give Alan an undeserved four points.
Wow. Three pairs of sunglasses, four points.
And, Guz, undeniably changing the future of croquet
single-handedly is the coolest person here, five points, Guz Khan.
There it is. Guz Khan.
Have we got time for one other?
We probably have.
It's probably a team one and it's probably riddled with tasks.
Hi. Hello, Desiree.
Hello. Hello, Alan.
Where's Alex?
Oh!
Solve the riddle.
ALL: You must all stay in your rooms.
Fastest wins.
Your time starts now.
Also, you will get two bonus points
if you can make one of your team-mates say submarine.
You may not say submarine at any point.
If they think you've tried to make them
say submarine, you lose two points.
Your time starts now.
BELL RINGS
But the proper etiquette with riddles is that you tell
someone the riddle.
And then they solve it.
So just, just putting that out there. Right, I'll...
Suggestion for the suggestion box.
Did anyone else find Alex not telling you what the riddle
was irritating? Yeah.
The whole thing was a pain in the arse, this one, wasn't it?
The worst shit I've ever...
Honestly.
So Morgana had her own personal task in that caravan.
She was mainly meant to make these two people say the word submarine.
And they didn't know anything about it. Let's play on.
We're going to see the team of two first of all.
Here's how our super intelligent quiz show legends got on.
Hat and a tache.
I've got a really big head.
Solve the riddle.
You may only open me when someone looks like Charlie Chaplin.
ON PHONE: Hello?
Hello?
Victoria? Ah!
Can you hear me? Ooh, yes.
My task says, "Solve the riddle, fastest wins."
So does mine.
I've also got a jigsaw with letters on the back,
a piece of paper with some coded letters, and an envelope.
Have you got anything?
I've got a bell, an orange,
and attached to my table is a bowler hat and a moustache.
Can you make yourself look like Charlie Chaplin and tell me
when you've done that?
Copy that.
Just doing the jigsaw.
I now look like Charlie Chaplin.
Excellent, in that case, I'm going to look in an envelope.
Copy that.
Inside the envelope is a diagram.
It could be a picture of a room with an X marking something.
On one side of it, there's a big square.
To the left, there'd be an X on the wall.
Sorry, Victoria, I'm not seeing any Xs.
The X is behind something that might also be a door or a window.
I've nearly finished the jigsaw, though.
I mean, it's missing some pieces, which doesn't help.
So I think you might have the other half.
AUDIENCE GASPS AND CLAPS
I think I've found the jigsaw pieces.
OK, I'm going to attempt to decipher this code.
G must equal T. That'll be L.
Do your edges, do your edges first.
Always a good idea to find the corners.
What if you haven't got any corners? Just crack on.
F must be S.
Oh, no, where's the rest of his head?
What is greater than T?
I bet there should be a comma.
A equals E. B equals L.
Is B L?
Hello, Victoria.
Have you got a code on the back of yours?
Yes, and I've nearly deciphered it.
Just give me one more minute.
A is E.
And this is something I'm supposed to decipher? I've got a pen.
I'm nearly done.
I don't know what J is, but I'm nearly there.
J equals C.
How do you know that?
Because I've got a code on the back of my jigsaw.
Oh, you've got the early letters!
Have you got E equals Y?
E equals Y.
OK, I think this is the riddle.
What if the answer is nothing?
Does that work?
Alex has nothing, the Taskmaster needs nothing,
and if you eat nothing you'll die.
Ooh, that's pretty good.
Is nothing the answer? Do you want me to stop the clock?
Yeah. I've stopped the clock.
Alex has stopped the clock.
Thank you very much.
Well, seeing Victoria spring into life there
was like watching an athlete in her prime, I thought.
This is my task, she thought, and she just got on with it.
Barely stopping to think whether Alan could contribute.
Which is merciful because Alan to me seemed to take on the persona
of Charlie Chaplin and just sort of mooch about the space.
I mean, I have to say, we didn't think anyone could solve it with
only half the jigsaw, but she managed to do it.
It's very much a task drawn from the world of the customised inhaler.
Well done to both.
Yeah, their time was 33 minutes and 33 seconds.
And there's a lot to work out there, so that's pretty quick.
Great. All right.
As part three fades into oblivion, let's hold each other tightly
and remember we're just made of atoms.
Yes, even me.
See you soon, atom family.
Hello. Welcome back to Taskmaster.
In line with the current task, I've got a riddle for you, Alex.
I work when I play, and I play when I work.
What am I?
You're six foot eight of solid manly muscle?
You know it, hot pants!
There is indeed a riddle task in play.
Can the team of three with their extra brain complete
the task in less than 30 minutes?
Can Morgana make her team-mates say the word submarine?
Surely it won't be the longest task we've ever filmed?
Let's see how they got on.

Hello, guys, can you hear me?
What is that sound?
Hello, Morgana, Desiree.
Is that helpful?
Hello, Desiree, are you there? It's your friend, Guz.
It's my friend who?
Hello, hello, hello?
Hello? Do you have any clues for me?
I've got a jigsaw.
Yeah, why, what you got?
I've got a bell, a pen and a clementine.
And a jigsaw?
No, YOU have the jigsaw.
Guys, can you hear me?
Hello, Morgs?
Hey, what do you have in your room?
Who, me?
No, we already got your jigsaw puzzle down, Guz.
Morgana, what do you have in your room?
I have, you know, like the Beatles.
You have the Beatles in your room?
Like an album?
Yes.
It's yellow.
So Yellow Submarine?
I think that's it, baby.
What have YOU got?
He's just got a jigsaw puzzle, apparently.
I've got three rubber ducks. What is that, man?
Or like plastic ducks.
Hello, this is Guz Khan with information, over.
So it says on the back of this piece of paper,
"You may only open me when someone looks like Charlie Chaplin."
Hello, guys. This is Guz with another revelation.
Would you like the revelation now, over?
Well, I don't know if I do.
I've just found this glue-on moustache and a bowler hat.
But what about this revelation, over?
Sure, just give us the revelation, then.
So on the back of this puzzle, there are letters
and an equals sign on some of them.
But once Desiree looks like Charlie Chaplin,
then we can crack open this envelope, over.
You can crack open the clue.
Cheers. Guz with another revelation, over.
And now I have a map of something.
It looks like a pair of doors and there's an X on it.
Does it look like you can figure out where the X is located?
Probably not.
I've just had an idea.
Can you put the map out into the corridor so you're both
technically still in your rooms but you can show each other your stuff?
Presumably.
Is that the double doors?
OK, so if that's the case, the X is on this wall.
OK, I'm going to make my jigsaw.
It's here somewhere.
Hold on, I found another puzzle.
Guys, there's been another revelation in the lab.
So many revelations!
Layers upon layers!
"USVG."
HE READS LETTERS PHONETICALLY
It's like a cypher for kids!
So the letter A equals E.
B is L.
Guz, have you assembled your half of the puzzle, over?
Sorry, guys, I'm just temporarily distracted.
Can you just repeat that? Fuck me in the face!
It said O equals O.
W equals P, and that is the end of the jigsaw.
I'm not sure it's the end.
I haven't had V - V for Veronica is...
Who the fuck is Veronica?
V - victory. What does victory equal, Guz?
Romeo.
V equals T.
How can it be?
How can two things be T?
Can you retrieve his whole puzzle for me, please?
Zulu equals golf.
Sorry to cut you off, I can send the Taskmaster's assistant to
just get Guz's half of the puzzle, if you're OK with that, Guz?
Why didn't we do that 45 minutes ago?
Yeah, send him.
Give the whole bloody lot, just in case.
Here, mate.
Oh, you are a wonderful human being, thank you so much.
Z is G.
OK. Oh, God!
Greater than the T.
A task...
♪ This task is shit
♪ Got four hours to get to the end! ♪
E...
More evil...
♪ This task is shit! ♪
All right, y'all. I got this riddle.
Are you ready for it?
Yes!
What is greater than the Taskmaster, more evil than the devil,
and if you eat it you'll die?
What is greater than the Taskmaster?
Nothing. More evil than the devil?
Nothing.
Alex has nothing, and if you eat nothing you'll die.
The answer to the riddle is nothing.
Oh, my God, you've only gone and fucking done it!
Literally, this entire hour's amounted to nothing, you guys!
CHEERING
Well, now, firstly, congratulations on your bonus points for submarine.
Thank you. It was cheeky, wasn't it?
Secondly, I'm no expert in body language, but something told me
that Desiree was maybe a little bit irritated with Guz during that.
As frustrating as that was to watch, it was 50 times more frustrating
because we kind of quibbled over how we were even deciphering like
which word to use for which letter, like there was so much confusion.
Surely Guz helped by repeatedly contacting you
and saying there's been another revelation?
Guz, don't get me wrong.
I loved your song.
Which I believe was called This Task Is Shit.
Yes.
That is exactly what it was called.
It took Guz 41 minutes to actually find the riddle, which was
just on the table in front of him. Got there in the end, though.
It was longer than Beethoven's Ninth,
which changed music and history forever, of course.
Yeah, of course.
One hour, 33 minutes.
You don't think, uh, the song This Task Is Shit is going to hold up against that, no?
So an hour longer than the team of two.
Wow.
Well, I'm going to give five points to Alan and Victoria,
and Alan can thank Victoria heartily for those five points.
So how many points do you want to give the team of three?
I want to give them two points each. Two points each.
Morgana gets a bonus two for submarine, so she gets four.
But Victoria and Alan get five points each.
There it is.
Quick look at the scores.
Right, Morgana is ten points behind the current leader, which is
Alan with 18 points.
Right, please leave your seats behind and head to the
stage for the final task of the show.
WHISTLING
Hello, everyone. Hello. Hello, Greg.
Hello. Alex, who's going to read the task out?
Desiree Burch is going to read the task out, please.
Oh, dear! It's never been that hard before.
OK. "Get the most forks in your bucket.
"You may only throw a fork after a full spin on your chair.
"You must stay sat in your chair at all times
"and you may not move your chair.
"You have 100 seconds."
So we've got to stay in the chair, spin and then we've got to throw?
We can't move the bucket, we can't go to the bucket?
No, and at the end we'll tot up the forks in the bucket.
If other people's forks are in your bucket, then you get their fork.
OK. You've got 100 seconds.
HE BLOWS WHISTLE
All spin before you throw.
Always a full spin before you throw.
Oh, wow!
Got one in yours. Yes!
Alan and Desiree, straight in.
Lovely. There we go.
Another successful green.
Another green. Ah!
Does one stuck in the floor count?
Greg, I think Alan looks quite cool.
Ah! He does.
Oh! Jesus Christ!
Oh, in! Wow, nice.
Beautiful! Oh!
Lovely. Beautiful.
A lot of greens going in.
Mine keeps bouncing out every time.
Oh, so annoying!
That was absolutely delightful, Victoria.
Straight in.
Argh!
Ah!
WHISTLE BLOWS
That was really good fun.
Again, again, again!
I mean, that is genuinely the happiest I've seen any of you
so far on this show.
Right, well, come down and we'll add that to the final scores and see how you did.
Well done, everyone.
Hello. Hi, Greg.
That was exciting, wasn't it?
So many forks and so many buckets!
Had a lovely old time.
It didn't take me long to count up Guz's forks.
Bearing in mind, at the end, he didn't spin for the last five.
Didn't you?
Got a long drive home - I don't want to get too dizzy, do you know what I mean?
Fair enough - priorities, innit?
So Guz got two.
Then we move up to Desiree.
There were four forks in her bucket.
Two from her, two from Alan.
Yeah, thank you. Pleasure. MORGANA: Alan!
Alan meanwhile had six forks in his bucket, all from his own hand.
Lovely. It's between Victoria and Morgana.
How exciting.
Morgana got two forks in Victoria's bucket.
Ah! Lucky me.
Victoria got five forks in her own bucket, so a total of seven.
Seven forks!
It's enough.
I looked in Morgana's bucket and I saw one of Guz's forks.
But ten of her own. Wow!
So with an 11 fork total, she gets the five points.
What does that do to the final scoreboard?
She may have come last in the first three episodes,
she has not in this one.
Victoria comes second and Alan comes first with 21 points.
MORGANA: Yes!
Look!
Alan Davies wins.
Please go and luxuriate in your many layers.
Whoo!
What have we learnt today?
Well, I read an article recently that said that
Samuel L Jackson was the coolest man on the planet.
But did Samuel L Jackson ever learn to ride a bike on national television?
I'm fairly sure he didn't!
So what we've learnt today is coolness is subjective
and everybody can be cool in their own way, except anyone who
chooses to wear plastic slip-on shoes.
It's time to say goodbye but, before we go,
let's recognise the achievements of tonight's winner.
Once more, oh, my goodness, it's Alan Davies!
