Whaa?
Ah!
Oh! Oh!
Shut up!
Argh!
Hello, thank you.
I'm Greg Davies and I'm a very nice man.
You'll often find me whistling
and skipping down the street, tra la la la la la!
I may stop, scoop up some abandoned dog mess,
lead a senior citizen across the road.
I may restrain an errant youth and correct his behaviour.
But even nice people need a release sometimes,
somewhere to let out supressed anger,
a howl in the night, a place where darkness can run amok.
Welcome to Taskmaster!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And the very best of luck to... Dara O Briain.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Fern Brady.
John Kearns.
Munya Chawawa.
And Sarah Millican.
And to my left, a man who told me in confidence he's scared
of three things - slugs,
small spaces and women being allowed to vote.
LAUGHTER
Little Alex Horne!
APPLAUSE
Prize task time. Yes, it is
and it's something we all think about once a week
because you've asked them this week to bring in
the thing that you most want on a Sunday morning.
Ooh. Yes,
I didn't have to think too long about this one. You know...
So Greg will give a big five to his fave
and then at the end of the show the person with the most points
will take home all the ingredients for a perfect Sunday morning. OK?
Yes. Good. Hello, Sarah.
What's your perfect thing for a Sunday morning?
Well, I stay in hotels a lot on tour
and people in hotels think you should be up at eight o'clock -
cos they're dicks.
And I always have a "do not disturb" sign on my door in a hotel.
I never want my room cleaned cos I'm quite a dirty person.
So I've brought my own "do not disturb" sign.
There it is. That's the first prize on offer.
I think there's nothing more aggressive than
a do not disturb sign that doesn't match everybody else's
do not disturb sign. Wow.
Hmm. I can't tell if the bar is high or low.
Well, the rage is what I enjoyed.
Oh, you always do, yeah.
Well, we're moving onto John now who's come last in
the last two ones of these. Hello, John.
The very best of luck to you.
Thank you. It's a business card.
Oh...
LAUGHTER
Oh, and Fern's next, is she?
Do you want to see? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It says "Know what you want
and have the confidence to go after it." Yeah.
LAUGHTER
Look if you're walking down the street
and someone gave you that... Yeah. That, you know...
Hello, yes, bang.
Know what you want and have the confidence to go after it.
A, you're keeping that for the rest of your life
and it's also, it's all you're thinking about all day.
I would like it, I think, if someone gave me that.
Yeah, look, everyone reading that
know what you want, so that's tricky, but...
Yeah, and then have the confidence to go after it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we've read it.
Um, Fern what have you brought in?
It's my favourite breakfast soup.
This is her favourite breakfast soup. Lovely.
It's like a savoury tofu pudding, that people have in China.
I think Alex has some.
Here you are. There's the slop. Yes. Try it.
Try it?
IN MANDARIN: Please eat.
Well, obviously.
Oh.
Fishy. It's very spicy and quite crunchy. Can I try some?
Yes, please do. Oh, my God.
Greg, I thought you weren't going to try it, cos aren't you from
Shrewsbury or something?
LAUGHTER
You seem like you just eat roasts.
LAUGHTER
Oh, God, yeah. That is...
It is, isn't it? Tastes like a farmyard.
Well, you'd like that, cos of where you're from.
It's the flavour of hopelessness.
Um, Munya.
Hello. I have brought in the Super Grater 3000.
Yes, here it is. The Super Grater.
Oh, my God!
He's grabbed a grater on his way out the house.
It's not, it's not a grater.
This thing here is essentially a cheese grater of the foot.
Ugh!
It can be used on wet and dry feet.
I mean, it's one of the bleakest images...
It's the bleakest image
I've had since I imaged sharing breakfast with Fern.
All right, Dara.
This should be a piece of piss, I imagine?
I brought in a massive segmented frying pan. And here it is.
I find, look, that's supposed
to be doing, you know, rashers in one place,
eggs in another, beans in another.
I'm sorry, Dara,
are you under the impression I haven't got one of these?
I've got one.
I find, often even on something like a lighter breakfast, I like
a little bit of fresh food.
Got some pineapples, cereal, er...
I'm aware as well that any time you do anything on television
that looks like you've wasted food,
people get very angry about that, like it should be noted that
the pineapple and the yoghurt go back in the fridge.
The bagel went back in the bread basket.
The kids ate the Cheerios
and then, to get rid of the orange juice, I got a straw
so that we weren't wasting any food at any stage.
Oh, it was you that sucked it up?
It wasn't that old man?
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Um, all right, then. Ready?
Uh, yes, right. Where we starting? One?
You know where were starting. We're starting with old smooth feet.
Ooh.
Who's that?
Is that his actual nickname?
LAUGHTER
I...I'm giving–poor old Munya one point.
OK. Munya, one point, well done.
Sarah's rage delighted me.
Oh, God, it's between Sarah and the Chinese soup.
For the sake of hotel staff, I'm going to give her two points.
OK, two to Sarah.
Yeah, unbelievably, that soup gets three points.
I mean...
Now, this is where things get controversial.
The truth is, if someone gave me that business card in
the street I honestly think it would make my day. What?
So, against all odds
and it just shows you how deeply unfair this show is...
LAUGHTER
..I'm giving John Kearns five points and I'll stand by it.
Right, so it's four points to Dara O Briain
but five huh, to John Kearns. There it is!
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
Thank you.
Very good. All right,
my furry chum, what's next on the agenda?
Well, it's a gritty team task, Greg.
Hello, Sarah. Hi, Alex. Hello, Munya. Hi, Alex.
Hello, Fern. Hiya.
Fern, wait for your team.
Oh, sorry! Did I shut the door on them?
Yeah. I'm not really a team player.
Secure the perimeter.
Place half your hands on half your hips...
..and leave them there until
the second part of the task is over. Also...
..the hands that are on hips must only touch those hips...
..until the second part of the task is over.
We've to touch each other?
You can touch each other.
You have two minutes.
Read it again. Yeah, I need to...
Place half your hands. So one hand on one hip. On half your hips.
I don't understand this! I thought it meant half of my hand.
Yeah, but collectively.
And leave them there until the second part of
the task is over. So, until it's done.
Depending what the task is, we might be making it very difficult
for ourselves by all having one hand where it could be much easier if
one person to have two hands.
We should keep one pair of hands free.
Oh! Oh, you're so good at this!
I think your time starts now.
Like a conga? Are we congaing this, right?
So do you wanna conga me? I'll conga you!
OK, fine. You have my consent. Yeah? There we go.
I have your consent! Yeah, my hips are unhanded.
And my hips are definitely being handled. WHISTLE BLOWS
At the moment there are four hands on four hips.
Yes, take your hand...that hand is free.
One hand on your hip. And Dara still has both hands on...no!
Take the hand off her!
My hands are here.
ALEX: You're fine, John. So that hand's on that hip.
FERN: I thought...I didn't understand it
but John really doesn't understand it!
I do understand it! With your hands on those hips at all times, put
the most sand in the shopping trolley.
You may only move
the shopping trolley when there is one minute left on
the clock. Oh, my God. You have ten minutes.
Your time starts now.
So where is the sand?
Exactly. Where is the sand?
Right, let's go look for the sand.
OK, we got to go look for it. OK.
John, don't put your...
You can only have one hand on my hip.
How do you not understand that? Sorry.
APPLAUSE
Team of three, talk me through your tactics.
DARA SIGHS
We got the idea, hands have to be on hips.
Yeah, absolutely.
But we forgot that they could just be our own hips... Yeah.
And that was probably the most obvious thing to do, just
for one person to stand like that for the entire task.
For some reason we, we felt that we should human-centipede it.
LAUGHTER
But I think the fact that we all didn't realise that we could just
have one person doing that
means that maybe the task wasn't that well written.
Yeah.
AUDIENCE: Ooh!
Well, listen I don't write them, so...
We were hoping for one of the teams to be stupid enough
to put their hands on each other's hips
but we weren't expecting everyone... SARAH LAUGHS
It felt like it was more of a team when we were together.
Yeah, we did both. It was divide and conga.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Wow.
OK. Do you want to carry on? Yes. Do you want a couple of minutes?
No, go to VT. Are you sure?
Go to VT. OK.
Well, we're gonna see the Team Of Two first of all,
so here's how Sarah and Munya got on.
It's really hard to not do da-da, da, da, da, da, da.
Hey. You may only move the shopping trolley when there's
one minute left on the clock.
We need to get the trolley sand-proofed
so it doesn't all leak out.
They've got rid of all the buckets.
There you go.
Right, so I'm gonna scoop.
Good work!
One pot's not gonna be enough, is it?
Open your legs, cos I need to swing this.
SHE LAUGHS
Just slide it in, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, cos the thing is, sometimes I lose my head.
How many minutes have we got left, Alex?
Two minutes and 48. Two minutes? OK. Shit. And 48.
I'm gonna double-quick. Yeah. Left around. Don't let me go.
No, not letting you go.
Argh! Oh, are you all right?
I crushed my fingers. Keep going.
You're such a hero. You've got one minute and 50seconds.
We're gonna have to really run for the trolley, you know. Yeah, good work.
Count us down when it's ten, yeah?
OK. As in one minute ten.
It's now one minute ten.
Let's get to the trolley. Ready? Go, go.
Go, go, go!
Good, good, good, good, good.
OK.
Argh!
Go, go, go! Go, go!
Whoa!
Are you all right?
How long? 25 seconds.
OK, let's get it. You get in first.
Oh!
Hold that open.
How long?
WHISTLE BLOWS
Ah, shit!
You didn't even count us down.
You didn't even count down. I said count at ten.
One minute ten, you said.
Oh, no! So close.
You've got one bucket in.
Can I let go now? It's up to you.
APPLAUSE
I would have liked a separate camera just on Sarah
and her contribution to the task, which was this...
I had a lovely time.
It was sort of permission to touch someone. Yeah.
It's nice.
Munya said you could be more rough with his hips.
LAUGHTER
Next... Well, actually, before we see the Team Of Three,
one of them would like me to play a different video first.
Mm-hm. So I'm gonna show you this. OK.
Hi, John.
Hiya. You OK?
Er, yeah.
TINKLING MUSIC PLAYS
LAUGHING: Oh, God, what the fuck are you doing?
Sh!
Oh, man!
Sabotage your team...
What?!
..in the next task.
If your team loses the task, you win five points.
If your team wins the task,
you win zero points.
If your team accuses you of sabotaging the task..
WHEEZING LAUGH: ..you win zero points.
So, the only way you win is if you lose.
You understand?
Yeah, well, I do understand, sadly.
That's... Do you know what? That's nasty.
Well, I'll let you think about that for a bit, John.
Oh, man. Good luck.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, dear.
He's not even making eye contact with us now,
and this feels like one of your relatives have been talking
to the FBI about you and then just silently lifts up their T-shirt
and there's a microphone pack on their body.
Yeah, can I say, it's actually kind of a relief,
cos at the time I thought he was an IDIOT.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Oh, fucking hell.
John's been sitting on this for four months now.
You had such a go at me.
We're set for something special here, aren't we?
Yeah, but were gonna go to... I know, were gonna go to a break.
I mean, when you come back, there'll be four chairs.
OK, I've been working on a new end-of-part link for you,
and here it is.
BYE!
APPLAUSE
Hello, welcome back to Taskmaster,
where a solo sabotage task has been set.
Yes, it's true. John Kearns was given a secret task by me
in a really cool, underhand sort of way.
The legit team task is to get the most sand into
the shopping trolley while they have half their hands on
half their hips. If John's team loses the task,
John will win five fat points all to himself,
but if his team wins, he gets nothing.
If you're Dara and Fern, it's pretty cruel.
If you're everyone else watching, it's pretty exciting.
So, here's how the Team Of Three got on.
How fast do you want me to walk?
I'd say faster than this.
OK, well, I... It's in case...
Dafty in the middle.
Er... We need containers.
Is there a bucket, a bucket or something?
Eight minutes.
Hold on, John.
Just move up nearer to my arse.
You're crouching, you're crouching.
You're just spreading it around. No, no, no.
Right, there's the pack of sand.
There's so many better ways we could have done this.
I mean, that's the one thing I have here, is time to reflect.
I wouldn't complain, Dara, I think just...
You're doing a lot of complaining
and I'm doing a lot of the labour here.
Honestly, you're both doing a brilliant job there.
I'm just reflecting.
There's a much better way of doing... John!
Why did you do that?
Oh, my God, did you knock it over? Why did you do that?!
It goes back on, look.
OK. OK. Sorry, Fern.
What if we get one of these plant pots?
Get that bucket over there, yeah. How long's left?
This is very... You're got four minutes 20.
Oh, brilliant. This is the best plan.
Hold on, John. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You coming in? Yeah.
Here we go.
How you doing, Dara?
I mean, I would sooner not be in this exact position
for the entire task. Oh...
Oh, hang on, watch the bucket, it's sat behind me.
I don't wanna knock over the bucket of sand.
You have to go that way, you have to go that way.
John, you have to go that way. John, you have to go that way.
Well, I don't wanna knock over... You don't wanna knock it over. No, no, no.
John, be really careful because you're... There we go.
Where, where, where, where's the, er...
Careful, careful. Careful, Careful, careful, careful!
Oh, my God, we almost lost the hat. Again.
Right, another bucket. Quick, another bucket.
I don't know if there's time, you know.
I think we should just make our way back. We've got time!
Hold on, John!
Under the rope, under the rope!
Ah, fuck's sake.
There's a hole in the bucket.
Oh, no.
I think we should just go back.
I just wanna get...
We can't move it until at the one minute bell strikes.
How long? You've now got one minute.
One minute. Can we move it? Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, come on, come on, come on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
See, this is when it all pays off.
Do we have to put it back anywhere? No, you don't have to move it back.
All the information's on the task there, John.
WHEEZING LAUGHTER
20 seconds, John.
When there is one minute left on the clock...
Put the, put the hat... Put the... Sorry.
Touch me. Put that in there.
What? No, what are you doing? It has to be in the trolley.
It's just in the trolley. Oh, I thought it had to be in one thing.
No. Ten seconds.
It says it has to be in one. No it doesn't say... What? Does it?
Yeah, yeah. Wait, does it say that?
Does it say that? It does!
John, you idiot. We've been fucking robbed.
John!
Yeah, that's your time up.
Why did you do that?
John just went mad.
No, no, no, no, no. I dug that for ages.
You threw all the sand out.
There's so much fucking sand in there.
John, don't. Don't do more. Please.
You've just thrown all the sand out.
I don't believe you threw out all the sand. Oh...
I don't, I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know where to start.
Fern had already called you "Dafty in the middle",
before the task sabotage even started.
LAUGHTER
When he turned the hat upside down and just started laughing...
LAUGHTER
..and you just both went, "What are you doing?"
I did so much work.
I did most of the work in that task,
and then, the whole time, Dara was just barking orders from the back,
while John just mischievously did stuff in the middle... Yeah!
..so I felt like I did the most there.
You were really industrious
and I hope this pans out that you do get some points and John doesn't.
I admit that I'm a bit worried,
because although, you know, I got rid of the hat and that long tube,
we both had one bucket of sand.
Yeah, its close, it's very close.
What do the scales say, baby?
So, if the team of three win, John loses.
If the team of two wins, John wins. Yep.
The team of two got 21kg of sand. 21kg.
How are you feeling?
Hopeful.
I'll wait till you've finished the rest of the sentence.
LAUGHTER
So, the team of three put in 20...
Oh!
..point 9kg.
THEY GROAN
Some of it fell through the bottom of the thing cos you...
Did you scoop it off the...the slats of the...of the trolley?
The slats were very thin. There was not a lot of sand on the slats.
LAUGHTER
So, there it is. So, what does that do points-wise?
Well, it means, unfortunately, Dara and Fern don't get any points
but all three - Sarah, Munya and John get five points.
There it is.
APPLAUSE
Sometimes, dirty deeds pay.
Let's have a scoreboard, please, Horne.
OK, I've got the scoreboard right here
and John is having his best ever episode by miles.
He's in the lead with ten points.
APPLAUSE
Very good. Another task, please, little dolly.
Right you are. And let's all scream for ice cream!
Look what I made you.
HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
Ooh!
LAUGHTER
Ooh!
Mm. Goddamn! What's been going on in this room?
Oh, ice cream.
You like ice cream?
I like some ice creams.
Some of it looks gross.
Identify the ice cream flavours.
SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
The most correct ice cream flavours identified wins.
You have ten minutes.
And you must find every flavour delicious.
Delicious?
Delicious!
That's...controlling.
LAUGHTER
Your time starts, now.
Alex, I'm on a no-sugar diet.
You lot have done me dirty cos you've picked my one weakness.
You want me to break my diet?
Will it have an instant effect on your body?
Then, I'd love to see it.
LAUGHTER
It's very important to find each flavour delicious. Mm.
And there maybe more than one flavour in all of them, in fact.
What are you talking about?
LAUGHTER
Right, so, I've got ten minutes to identify ice cream,
not even tasting them.
What is the sauce?
What is it? Yes, what is it?
APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER
I thought Fern sounded like she was in a kebab shop
at 3am in the morning. Oh, I know. Play out?
Yeah, I can play that sound. Here we go.
What is the sauce?
What is it?
I'm sorry to say I just have the voice of a drunk person.
LAUGHTER
What's going on with this sugar thing, then, Munya,
before I start judging you?
You see the thing is, yeah,
the dentist told me I was 1mm away from a root canal.
Oh, my God, I'm going to penalise you so heavily.
No!
Please, please! You want to see some? Yeah!
OK, we're going to start with three of them first -
Sarah, Munya and Fernya. Here we go.
Mm... This one looks like it's going to be poo-flavoured.
You must find it delicious, please.
Oh, that's very nice.
LAUGHTER
What the fuck is that?
That's a bit salty, that is. Mm.
Wait. So, I can eat this.
I know what it is but I know what it is.
Dog biscuits.
Argh, that's dog food, isn't it?
That's dog food.
Crisps, innit?
Mm, delicious.
That is fucking vile.
Right, next one...
Is it curry powder? OK.
Tandoori ice cream.
Coronation Chicken, innit?
This one...
Oh, wow!
Wowzers.
Oof!
Just smells of nothing.
Chilli and...
..let's go mango.
How about mash ice cream cos it's got the consistency of mash?
Some sort of Mexican flavour.
I've been doing really well, so far.
Mm.
Cream flavour!
Cream flavour ice cream?
Uh-oh.
Is there something else?
Oh, is it breast milk?
Coconut liquorice.
That sounds nice.
I think it's vanilla. I think it's a curveball.
White chocolate and breast milk. Mm!
Cos that is a thing.
I don't do olives. Tiny, shitty grapes.
You've only got one and a half minutes. Oh, go to hell.
I'm just going to have the green stuff.
You must find each flavour delicious.
LAUGHTER
Olive green smoothie. That's my...that's my answer.
Oh, I've been excited about this one. The last one.
I've never said, "That's vile", before and gone in for more.
Also, you have to say it's delicious.
Oh, sorry! That's northern for delicious.
Petrol or something.
Maybe something cheesy? OK.
Fucking salt and petrol or something.
Urgh. Please, find it delicious.
Urgh!
It's so horrible!
WHISTLE BLOWS
You can stop now.
Urgh!
APPLAUSE
I mean, on reflection,
you sounded like you were in a kebab house throughout.
This whole thing, I don't know how to...
Whether I'm going to penalise people
because you were supposed to make out it was delicious throughout.
Sarah, the very first thing you said after tasted one is, and I quote,
"What the fuck is that?"
LAUGHTER
Like, "Ooh, what the fuck is that? Mm."
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Munya, you appeared to be trying to smell flavours
to avoid a solitary filling.
I think it's more of an achievement to have snorted ice cream
cos I got that one right, didn't I?
There were ten flavours, there. You got one of the ten.
Shall I tell you what the actual flavours were? Please.
The dog food one, they thought was dog food was marmite and porridge.
Then, we had curry and naan bread.
We've accepted most of their curry answers.
Cornflakes and chilli. Most of them got chilli.
Then, we had white chocolate and macaroni cheese,
and then, the petrol one was bechamel sauce
and Brussels sprout puree.
Bechamel, beautiful, beautiful.
So, out of them, Munya only got one flavour,
Sarah - two, Fern - three of the flavours.
Does something cheesy not count as macaroni cheese?
No.
LAUGHTER
All right, it's the end of Part Two.
Now, tell him to get his hands out of his pyjama bottoms
and go and make you a cup of tea.
APPLAUSE
Oh, hello!
Welcome back to Part Three of Taskmaster. Where were we, Alex?
Oh, I'm so sorry, I appear to have gone all coy.
I'm back! Ice cream flavour identification,
that's where we were, and now, for the final two, it's John and Dara.
This is going to be rancid.
Oh, it's very nice.
Delicious.
I mean, that's like white chocolate.
Is it white chocolate?
OK, white chocolate... There's bits in that, there's bits.
Right, tell me about the bits.
Marshmallow.
Oh, a delicious kick off that.
LAUGHTER
Oh, Jesus Christ!
Would you like a glass of water? Oh, yeah.
Delicious water coming up. Mm!
Sweet Jesus.
Oh!
HE LAUGHS
Chilli. Sounds nice.
It's not just nice, it's delicious.
This thing's driving me crazy.
LAUGHTER
Wasabi maybe?
Wasabi.
Wasabi?
It's curry.
Tikka Masala.
OK, we're in the last 45 seconds.
WHISPERS: It's delicious.
LAUGHTER
There might be more than one flavour in...
Yeah, no, I think you've really gone to town here. Mm.
Yeah, it's Marmite.
Marmite. OK.
WHISTLE BLOWS
Delicious. Oh, it was delicious. What a treat!
Well, I must commend both gentlemen
for making an effort with the deliciousness. Thank you.
The first contestants so far to pretend they liked it.
I particularly enjoyed Dara's, "There's a delicious kick off that."
LAUGHTER
And you both did some great face-acting as well.
That was not acting. That was a genuine human response
to my body wanting to expel what I just put into it.
LAUGHTER
They seemed pretty good, though.
Well, they both got the Marmite, which was very pleasing.
They both got curry and white chocolate.
But Dara got one extra cos he got the chilli as well.
So, it means that Munya only gets the one point, then.
Sarah gets two points,
John and Fern come joint second, having guessed three flavours,
so they get four points each.
But the winner of this task is Dara O Briain. He gets five points.
APPLAUSE
Next task, please.
OK. Ready? Catch!
What up, my slime?
Ah! What up?
Hello. Oh, hello, Fern.
Catch something.
The most spectacular catch wins.
You have 20 minutes.
Time starts, now.
Has anybody got Covid, no? No, I don't have Covid.
Have you got any sort of infectious diseases?
I had appendicitis, when I was eight.
Oh.
I remember catching something, when I was a kid.
My dad kicked an American football in the air.
I really remember...
..catching it.
Are you good at catching?
Yeah, if I can see the thing coming.
But how much better and more spectacular would it be,
if I couldn't see it coming?
Oh, my God! So, my first thought is just illnesses
but I just don't think any of us have got time.
So, first things first, I need a ball.
I'm just going to find a ball, Alex, OK? OK.
You stay right there, my slime.
What do you catch?
You catch a fish.
But everyone's going to say catch a fish.
What could I catch? Nothing's alive in here.
You don't want to go outside and just catch things?
What would I catch outside, the birds?
Uh, I wouldn't worry about animals.
People?
Kidnap?
LAUGHTER
Also, whenever there's one of these, you have to do it.
HORN TOOTS
SHE MIMICS THE HORN
Mine's better. Mine's always better.
It's shit.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
So, your first three instincts of what you could catch, Fern,
are a fish, a bird, people.
Yes.
I thought that was all obvious things to say.
John, do you want to tell us more about the moving story
from your youth, before we crack on?
LAUGHTER
Honestly, it's...it's a vivid childhood memory
that I caught it and I kept on running.
LAUGHTER
And you've not...you've not seen any of your family since.
Let's see some spectacular catches.
Fine. Yes, it's a simple task - most spectacular catch wins.
We're going to start with Mun and Jun. Here we go.
Alex...
..how good are you at throwing?
Pretty good.
Well, I was thinking of maybe punting it over the house,
and then, running around and catching it.
I'm going to sit on Greg's shoulders
and you're going to go all the way to the other side of the house
and throw the ball into my bucket, yeah?
Yes.
Right then...
Throw it!
Oh, no.
Alex, more power!
More power.
Right, I've just got to go high.
Oh, dear.
No, Alex. Come on!
ALEX GROANS
No, and again!
More power! Oh, fuck!
Don't swear at me, Alex.
HE GROANS
Go on, go on!
Oh, fuck!
The problem is I'm not around here, when it lands.
LAUGHTER
No! My arm hurts.
Everyone watching this right now thinks we can't do it.
I don't think we can do it.
But that's what's going to make it impressive, right?
Let me see that fire. Go on, let's say, "Argh!" Argh.
No, listen to me, again, you're half holding back.
I want you to just go argh! I'm cold. My shoulder hurts.
Argh.
Argh!
Yes, nearly, Alex. One more!
Oh, that's the way to go, though.
Yeah! Oh, Alex, we nearly had it!
AUDIENCE GROANS
One more, one more!
ALEX GROANS
Yeah! Oh, no!
WHISPERS: Oh, shit.
Go on.
Well, something's happened.
Something's fucking happened!
APPLAUSE
I caught one. I'll take that.
This is my last ball.
Are you ready?
Yeah! OK, here we go, Munya.
WHISPERS: Come on.
Argh!
Did you catch it? Nooo!
APPLAUSE
What was it you said, when Munya quite reasonably asked you
to put more power into your throw?
I don't know, what did I say?
I'll tell you what you said. Right.
You whispered to yourself, "Fuck sake."
LAUGHTER
13 series and that's the first time you've ever sworn. First time, yeah.
Well, how do you think that made Munya...
Look at Munya's face, now. Yeah.
He's only 21 or something.
First time...first time I've ever sworn.
John, this is what I wrote down -
"When I was at primary school there was a boy called Morgan,
"who got sent home one day
"because he tried to eat the hood off his own coat."
LAUGHTER
Throughout that task, you reminded me of Morgan.
OK, next up, like all of us, she's scared of fires.
Yes, it's Bern Afrady.
Oh, lovely.
20 minutes, 20 minutes.
I caught a falling star.
I know. Powered only by turquoise fart.
LAUGHTER
Yes.
Greg, I thought I'd show a little making of video,
so we can all admire the effort that Fern put into hers.
FERN GROANS
OK, let's have a break.
When we return, the high-octane action continues
and someone wins a dry skin foot scraper.
HE GASPS
APPLAUSE
Oh, no! Oh, yes! It's the final part of the show
and the current task involves catching.
Recap, Alex.
It's a simple task - most spectacular catch wins.
We've had some classic catching and some CGI catching, so far.
Next up, it's not the mayor of silicon.
No, It's Sarah Millican.
APPLAUSE
Pretty clever.
She caught fire. Enchanting.
I...I got it. Yeah, sorry.
I particularly liked the...
HE BLOWS
Yeah. ..the romance of that with this twat in the background.
Yeah, I wasn't sure he was going to be in the actual edit.
Oh, really?
I thought it was supposed to look like I was blowing it out.
It did sort of mess with the romance of it a little bit, didn't it?
I really enjoyed... I'd never used a fire extinguisher before.
I now use them all the time.
Last one? Last one, yes.
Finally, it's the date of birth himself, DOB, Dara O Briain.
Oh!
Wait there, little one. You wait there.
I will close the door.
Oh, my baby!
No!
What is happening to my baby?!
Who will save my baby?!
Nooo!
Will somebody catch my baby?!
Ooh!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Dara, it was a hauntingly beautiful tale.
All that we need to do is to give the film a title
and then we can move on and give some points out.
Well, obviously Ooh, My Baby.
Ooh, My Baby it is. Right. Here come some points.
Yes. Do you wanna do the least-spectacular catch first? Yeah, course, and I feel sorry for him
because he really did try,
but someone didn't put enough power
into their fucking throws, did they?
Fuck's sake. So...
It's not right hearing him swear, is it?
No. Feels wrong. He didn't actually do any catches.
No, but give the boy a point, for God's sake.
Please. OK, so one point to Munya Chawawa. Yes. OK.
Amazingly, getting two points just because there was
a catch involved, John gets two points.
Well done, John. Three points -
and I blame you for this as well,
because if you'd been airbrush CGI'd out of it
and I could have just seen her hauntingly blowing
the flames out, then she might have been up higher.
So three points - your fault.
Yep, good, good, good. Three to Sarah.
Four points for the disturbing
and yet comforting film
of a woman who plucked
a star from the sky... Lovely.
..under the power of her own flatulence go to Fern,
and finally... how could Ooh, My Baby get
anything than a deserved five points?
Five points toDara O Briain. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Please stay where you are while Alex
and I head to the stage... AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
..for the final task of the show.
Hello. Who will read the task?
John Kearns, the leader.
And a liar.
"Predict whether an item will create a higher or lower number of decibels
"than the previous item.
"If you are wrong, you are out.
"Last player standing wins."
Yes, so, very simply,
Greg is gonna make a noise.
I am. He's then gonna tell you what he's gonna do with the next one,
and you have to predict whether that noise is gonna be louder or quieter
than the previous noise.
You have paddles there with "higher" or "lower" on.
If you're wrong, you're out, unless all of you are wrong, and then
we'll move onto the next one. But once you're out, you're out.
It's a rip-off of Play Your Cards Right.
So were going to start off with the opening noise.
A simple horn.
Sarah, would you like to do yours before I commence?
IMITATES HORN PARPING Thank you.
And now the horn proper.
And that is 107 decibels. 107.
And now were in gameplay.
CHUCKLING
This noise is going to be a packet of cereal landing on a bar.
Will that be higher or lower than 107 decibels?
Have a think.
Please reveal your guesses now.
OK, we have three highers, two lowers.
We're going to lose some people here. Some people are going out.
John and Sarah think lower, the rest think higher.
Are you ready, Greg?
MURMURING That's got to be louder.
Real problems cos I didn't press the right button on the...
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
This is to beat 107 decibels.
Tell me to release the cereal.
Release the cereal.
It's 101.9 decibels.
GASPING
It's already down to two people.
The lowers are John Kearns and Sarah Millican.
This time Greg is going to attack the marbles with
an electric toothbrush?
It's an electric toothbrush, and I'll be thrusting it
in and out of marbles in a regulation manner.
OK, so do you think that's gonna be higher or lower than
the release of cereal onto a bar?
Are you gonna be jabbing or are you gonna be rolling?
I'm sorry, John, I did say
I'd be thrusting it in and out of the marbles
in a regulation manner.
So will it be higher or lower than 101.9?
Please release your paddles now.
Ooh, this is going to be the end of the task!
Oh, we're going to get ourselves...
We've got a higher and lower, and if this is lower than 101.9,
then Sarah Millican wins. If it's higher than 101.9,
John Kearns, the unlikely candidate, wins.
Let's dance.
BUZZING The brush is on.
Let the thrust commence.
You did what you said you were gonna do.
And that was
90.7 decibels, which means the winner - already -
is Sarah Millican.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING There it is.
Let's go back down and see how that's affected the final scores.
The points for that one, we have three people in joint third.
That was, of course, Dara, Munya and Fern.
They all get three points each.
Four points for second place was John,
just behind Sarah Millican, who gets five points.
So... It's John Kearns in the lead, with 20 points! Well done, John.
CHEERING
Wow! What?! John Kearns wins!
Please go and surround yourself with your Sunday funday prizes.
So, what have we learnt today?
We've learnt that if you find yourself on a night out
with your friends, and you've had a little too much to drink
and you're feeling peckish, before you pop that late-night snack
into your mouth, don't forget to ask yourself...
FERN: What is the sauce?! What IS that?!
This episode is over but I want you to all go to bed
thinking about tonight's winner.
Unbelievably, it is John Kearns!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
