Ahhh! Um...
Quite windy today. Yeah.
Christ. Whoo. Wrong way.
That's how you do it, baby. OK.
Oh, my God.
Ah. Ah.
Ooh. SHE VOCALISES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello, thank you.
I'm Greg Davies, welcome to Taskmaster.
The only show on television that conclusively proves that all
of life's struggles are ultimately pointless
and that the gods are just toying with us before death.
And hello to all our younger viewers.
Let the trials commence.
Let's meet our five competitors
from wildly different parts of the globe.
Like the north of England,
Dublin, the north of England,
the west of England and the north of England.
Please welcome Joanne McNally... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..John Robins... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..Nick Mohammed... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..Sophie Willan... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
..and Steve Pemberton. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And sitting next to me, a man who admitted
to me that he photocopied
an elderly relative's blue parking badge
so that he could enjoy the "Hollywood spaces"
near the entrance to Tesco... LAUGHTER
..it's little Alex Horne! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hi, Greg.
Hi, mate. You all right?
I'm, I'm, I'm feeling good, I'm looking great.
I think I've cracked it. I've got a new health regime. It's so simple.
Honestly, I don't go to the gym.
It's just dog walking. 45 minutes a day - dog walking.
So the opening section of the show is you...
You've walked your dog a bit and you feel like you've lost some weight?
No, not quite. No, no, 45 minutes dog walking.
Do you want me to show you? Ah, yeah. It's like that.
45 minutes a day, at least. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK, on with the prize task, then.
Jolly good. Yes,
you've got it, poppet, and this week they've brought in...
LAUGHING
You know I don't like that.
I don't...I don't like "you've got it, poppet". No... No, I know.
You got it, poppet.
And this week, they've brought in the most fun thing
to turn upside down.
So there will be five points for the most fun thing
to turn upside down, and all five fun things will go home
with the episode winner, who can keep them
whichever way up they bloody well want.
Welcome, contestants.
Steve. Start with you today. How are you?
I'm very well, thank you, poppet. How are you?
LAUGHING
What have you brought me that you can turn upside down
that I'll have fun with? A calculator. Ahhh.
Yes, he has.
I know where you're going with this... Yeah.
..and I approve this message.
Do you know the number?
Uh, is it 8-0-0-8?
It's 5-3-1-8-0-0-8.
And here it is. Yeah. Yeah.
You turn that upside down.
You're saying that I don't, like I don't know this.
Boobies.
Well, I thought you might find boobies a little bit limited...
Wrong. So...
As well as your boobies...
What else have you got for me?
..I thought it might be nice to compose a calculator haiku.
Oh, wow. Um...
So a haiku, obviously, is a Japanese poem with,
uh, five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables.
We go to a haiku club every Sunday.
So this is a calculator haiku.
Big boss gobbles eggs.
His hole oozes shizzle. LAUGHTER
Gosh, beige blobs soil his shoes.
Steve, I'm genuinely impressed. Well done. Thank you.
Who's next? Sophie?
What have you brought in that's nice turned upside down?
Steak pudding. LAUGHTER
It's one of a,
a northern delicacy. It's very beautiful, poppet. I...
You just... LAUGHTER
You steam it.
It's got gravy in the centre with steak chunks.
Sorry. Can you ask Sophie if she thinks I don't know what a pie is?
I think you may have missed the point of this.
You can't just tell me a thing you like eating.
Well, it's the most fun thing to turn upside down.
They're very satisfying to pull... Yeah. The...the tinfoil off. Yeah.
Thank you, Steve. I concur, I concur.
And if you had two of them at the same time...
Boobies.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
John.
Greg. What have you brought us?
I have brought in, uh, the Chicago Bulls logo.
I'm familiar with it, a lovely big bull. Yes.
Why is it gonna be fun when I turn it upside down?
I don't like to curse too much on telly, Greg,
cos my mum'll be watching this, but there's,
there's no other way to describe this to you,
what happens when you turn it upside down. OK.
It looks like a robot fucking a crab.
LAUGHING
Yet another of my fantasies.
Here we go. OK.
LAUGHING Oh, yeah.
I don't... What's the positioning?
It is a sad robot making sweet love to a crab.
From behind, got it. That's what I mean.
The robot isn't happy about this.
The...the robot is angry. But also it's,
it's a challenge to initiate it,
because they're obviously moving left to right.
Maybe the robot's angry cos he's got a nasty case of humans.
Oh. LAUGHING AND APPLAUSE
Nick.
Well, if you bring up the picture, then I'll be able
to explain. So a friend of my mum's
at the church that she goes to went on holiday and, um,
brought them all back these lovely vases.
LAUGHING
And my mum popped some flowers in, watered the flowers,
and then the following week said to him, was like, "Oh, I'm so sorry
"it's just, it is just leaking".
And he was like, "It is a drum." LAUGHING
This is a debate,
but I put it to you that there's not a person in this room
who didn't think, "Why's someone put flowers in that drum?" Yeah.
That's the opposite of what she thought.
Joanne? Yes. So you know the way bats, they hang normally upside down
but if you flip a bat around
so it's facing up when it's upside down.
Let's start again.
Bats sleep upside down. Bats sleep upside down traditionally.
And what you're saying is if you flip a bat while... Flip it up. ..while it's sleeping.
So it looks like it's standing up but it's actually upside down. Yeah.
It looks like kind of a Goth disco.
First of all this is what she's brought in, which is a bat. Yeah.
But what this bat represents is a Goth disco... Yeah.
..demonstrated here by some bats. ROCK MUSIC PLAYS
LAUGHTER
That's good. That is good.
Big spooky capes and... They're very Florence and the Machine.
Oh, God. I'm gonna actually have to think about
the points and just pop pudding at the bottom.
LAUGHING
I think I'm gonna give the crab three points.
And then I'm gonna give the drum four points,
because I just think it's adorable.
And, uh, the bats are just haunting
and Steve's genius should be rewarded for all that work
so I'll give bats and Steve five points. Oh, right.
OK, Joanne and Steve get five points.
OK, let's get going. What have you got for me, Alex?
A former Romanian football player, Greg, because the five
competitors are about to try their hand at Petrescu.
Pet rescue - they're gonna rescue a pet.
Here we go.
SHE LAUGHS Joanne.
Looks like a fantasy of mine.
Is it? Yeah. Well, we do our best. We did a lot of research.
I'm aroused. LAUGHING
They're all Greg's. He's quite tender.
That makes sense, yeah. Yeah.
Are they all in his bed at night? Yes. Cool.
Good morning, Alex. Hello, John.
This is the task? No envelope.
Missing. Rescue the cat.
Goes by the name Patatas.
Goes by... HE LAUGHS
Goes by the name of Patatas. As in patatas bravas?
The cat must come out of the top hole.
There's a hole in the top of the dome.
Is there...is there a claw? Do I have to man a claw? It's up to you.
Your head may not enter the dome.
The door must remain closed.
This door, but I've gotta keep my head out?
I don't know where the cat is amongst this lot. Right.
Fastest wins.
Your time starts now, I suppose, eh?
Right. OK. I don't have a clue, actually.
OK, I'm ready. APPLAUSE
I've always wanted to be in one of those machines.
Have a swim. Yeah.
And then pulled out by a claw.
Has anyone ever won any on one of those things?
Never. I, yeah, quite often.
LAUGHTER It's just technique and practice.
Have you won on one of those things? No.
OK. Let's go.
Let's see them try to get Patatas out of a big dome.
OK. First up we're gonna see Joanne fulfil her fantasy
and Steve fulfil his contractual obligations. Here we go.
The door must remain closed.
Oh, my God, it is a claw!
Amazing.
Oh, Patatas, Patatas.
Have you definitely, definitely read all the instructions? Uh, yes, uh,
yeah. The door must remain closed. I'm just seeing that the zip works.
All right, OK. Let's do it... If you think that... No, let's do it the hard way.
So I have to find the... I see the cat there!
God, I wouldn't be rescuing that cat if it was mine.
It looks like a bad job of taxidermy.
LAUGHING
OK, so, I'm assuming this is relevant in some way.
Ah, right. We've got a...an opening.
Um, now, I thought I saw Patatas.
But how do I encourage him towards...
Oh, he's gotta go out the top hole.
I'm gonna try and fashion a noose for the cat's neck.
You didn't say it had to come out alive, it just had to come out.
Have you used a ladder before? LAUGHING
Hold on.
Ah. OK.
Hold the ladder. Pfft.
AUDIENCE: Ooooh!
That's a big hook. It's a big hook.
Big hook for a big job.
OK. Come on, Patatas.
Be bravas. Where is he?
Come on.
If I grab the cat and just throw it out the top.
OK. If this goes back in now,
I'm just gonna throw myself in front of a car.
Oh...
Oh...
Ah. SHE LAUGHS DEFEATEDLY
I can't go through it all again, I've no hooks left.
I wonder, could I blow him over?
LAUGHING
Remember your head can't go in. It's not in at the moment.
Yes, head's not in.
Come on, Patatas.
Come on.
Oh, is that Patatas?
OK. HE GRUNTS
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well, I've stopped the clock, Steve.
See ya. Bye-bye.
Maybe I could drag it back over.
Yeah...
Oh, this is actually quite good, this thing.
Should've gone with that at the start.
Right, there he is.
"The cat must come out of the top hole."
Like, the other option is to put rope through the roof
and tie it.
OK. Tie the rope really fucking tight.
Oh, I've got an idea.
Can it go in the top and then come back out?
Ah-ha-ha. Up we go.
If you fucking detach... LAUGHING
No...
He's out.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I...I should acknowledge, "Come on, Patatas. Be bravas."
You see, you're coming over to my side now. I am not.
Joanne. You were very pleased when you came up with the rope idea.
I was, yeah. You were. And I asked if we could just isolate
your facial expression when you came up with your rope idea.
LAUGHING
If you didn't know what the task was, that would be
a very troubling still.
LAUGHING
We're...we're back into crab and robot territory there.
How did Joanne do?
The task was to rescue the cat
and she did all that in 22 minutes 20 seconds.
Oh, right. Good. APPLAUSE
I'd save your applause. APPLAUSE STOPS
Bear in mind that Steve did it in 2 minutes 19.
LAUGHING AND APPLAUSE
Now it's time for Nick and Sophie
to let the cat out of the bag.
OK. Now, can I go and get some stuff? OK.
Er, I'm just off to the shed.
Do you know what? Sod it. I'm just gonna go in.
That's sort of like a cat, isn't it? That fur.
Ah! A cat.
That's actually a cat.
Oh, no, it's a wolf.
I can, I can see the cat. Oh, yeah.
Think the idea is to sort of make a little pole thing.
Oh, I might just go with the panda, you know.
Oh, there he is! I can see him.
You've found Patatas.
I could make like a really sticky end.
Make a sticky end.
Yeah. All right, let me go and have a look in the shed.
I need a fishing rod.
It's about fishing. It's about fishing, isn't it?
OK, this looks good. This looks good.
Right, couple of magnets. Oh, yeah?
Couple of magnets and a sticky end, I think.
Couple of magnets and a sticky end.
Right down we go.
In.
I'm so close to the bastard. Come on!
Right, here we go.
HE GASPS Oh, my God.
Oh, it's actually heavier than it...it looks.
Now, if I was taller... Big if. Huge if.
Patatas.
Can... Are you allowed to go in?
Right, I order you to go and pick him up and put him on my hook.
Now, my head, my arm can go in, can't it? Oh, yeah.
Between us, we might do this. Oh, you've got it.
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.
I think I've done it.
God, come on. Oh, hang on, it's very heavy, actually.
They didn't say it would be heavy. Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
Yes, Patatas. Right, here we go.
So...
Yes!
AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS
IN SLOW MOTION: Ye-e-e-s.
There you go.
So, you've rescued the cat in the traditional method
of flinging it onto a roof.
Yes, you, come on, you little bastard.
Come on. He's nearly here.
Come on. Woo!
IN SLOW MOTION: Woo! Woo!
We've stopped the clock.
Good work.
I'm glad you rescued Patatas.
Yeah. Yeah, do you like him?
He's all right. I feel a bit resentful but, yeah, thank you.
I get the impression that neither of you were particularly concerned
about Patatas' welfare during that.
Every man for themself, I think, isn't it? Yeah. Every cat.
Yeah. Did it say that we had to protect its welfare?
No, I just think I expected a sort of internal kindness
from you, Nick.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
What's Nick's system called? Couple of magnets and a sticky end.
Ah. Yes.
And then you flung it through the hole. The time was...
60 minutes? ..14 minutes. Oh.
14 minutes. Sophie took ten minutes...
Ah! ..to spot, to spot Patatas.
She took 26 minutes and six seconds.
One person left. Famously, cats catch robins,
but can robins catch cat?
This has got to be something, hasn't it?
What's that for?
Why is there that on the end?
Argh! Is that good?
AUDIENCE GROANS
Here we go.
APPLAUSE
Patatas?
Patatas!
I've stopped the clock, John. Bye-bye! Bye-bye.
Can I just add that over the past few minutes
of watching everybody else's, I've been having
a very slow-level heart attack
because I thought, "Did you remember to take it out of the top hole?"
You'll be thrilled to hear you did pop it out of the right hole.
I, I did. I've miss... Yeah, I'm panicking.
But... But. ..unfortunately... What?!
..I do have to disqualify you.
No! What?!
No, I'm only joking. Oh, my God!
I'm actually sweating.
There is, there is slight extra news, though.
No! We did heavily edit that.
You got very suspicious, first of all, that there was no cat at all.
Then you thought the boxing glove might be a distraction.
Then you opened the grabber. Then you went to the shed to look for a hook,
and then you came back. Your total time was three minutes 24,
which is actually one minute slower than Steve. Ah...
So the actual timings - Sophie gets one point, obviously.
Two to Joanne, three to Nick,
four to John, but five, in the end, to Steve Pemberton.
Scoreboard, please.
Yes, well, we have three people - Joanne, Nick and John -
all on seven points. Sophie's on two,
and Steve's in the lead with ten points. Hooray!
OK, please, may we have a team task, Alex?
Ooh, yes. Good shout, Greg-apotamus.
And, whoops, I think... I think...
Whoopsie, I think we've blown the visual effects budget
for the whole series. Watch this.
Hello.
Aha!
Jesus, John. Wh... What?
Bit ruthless there. I'm so sorry.
Alex?
Where's Alex?
Do you think we have to find him?
No.
Oh, God.
Woo! Oh, dear. Woo!
A floating envelope and a floating head.
Amazing! Oh, I caught it.
Well done.
Oh.
Oh.
Thank you. Are you a green screen?
Yeah, I'm a green screen.
Right.
Do the most epic thing using green material
and this green screen onesie.
You have 30 minutes. Your time starts now.
Why is it only green material, though?
It turns everything invisible.
So... I don't understand.
Alex, I think we're gonna spend about 25 minutes
working out what green screen is.
And then we're gonna come back with a plan.
OK. Yeah. My head's gonna float away now.
Is it really?
But no, cos it's not green behind you.
Doesn't have to be. Doesn't it?
Thank you.
Well done, Alex. See you later.
APPLAUSE
There's a certain little smug look you get on your face when you,
when you've done a thing you like.
You liked the floating head didn't you?
Yeah. I don't understand it, either, but it is...
Cos I couldn't see my body at all. It's so weird.
OK, shall we start? Let's go.
Let's start with the crazy guys,
Nick and Steve, and their epic vision.
Pancakes...
ECHOING: Pancakes.
ECHOING: Pancakes.
ECHOING: Pancakes.
ECHOING: Pancakes.
Mm!
Pancakes.
Mm!
Pancake?
How is it?
Epic.
APPLAUSE
Because it was supposed to be the most ambitious thing,
I was thinking, you know, the scale of ambition
perhaps could've been better, until the mouth came out.
Just the fact that a, a wormhole appears,
if I may call your mouth that.
That's fine. Was there much of a narrative, Steve, in your mind?
I was just trying to give, you know, man who's decided he wants pancakes
and is conjuring them up somehow.
I, I thought he seemed quite smug.
Yeah...Yeah. The pancake guy.
Well, that's just a bit of me coming through.
Now it's the other team's turn to blow us away
with their epic visuals. It's John, Joanne and Sophie.
It's very dull being a Tudor queen.
I just wish something exciting would happen.
Oh!
Oh! Lick me.
You what? Lick, lick me. I'm magic.
You're magic? Oh, go on, then.
Ooh!
Ooh!
Ooh!
Oh, gosh!
Woo!
Oh, a floating clock.
Oh, God, oh, God! Oh, bloody hell, it's,
it's an armless mannequin.
What time is it? Oh, God.
I'm about to take flight, John.
Quite soon, I think.
Ooh! Ooh, God, I am. I'm off!
Oh, blimey!
Ooh! Oof! Sorry, oh, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, John. Fucking hell.
I didn't... Ooh!
Ooh! I might be able to fly.
Woo!
I can. Oh, dear.
Oh, I'm flying!
Ugh. Oh, bloody Nora!
Slow flight but good flight.
APPLAUSE
Ah, the classic cry of the Tudor queen -
"Bloody Nora, I'm flying!"
It's actually much better than I remember.
Is it? Yeah.
I... You wanna, you wanna have seen the state of us on the day.
It was carnage.
Can I just tell you what I saw as a viewer?
Right. A Tudor queen.
She licks a frog. Mm.
Six unconnected objects float over her head.
Yeah. And she announces that she's gonna fly off and she does.
She tells John she's going to as well. Yes.
Also, the unconnected items, I would argue they're not
as unconnected as you've said. We've got...
There's no need to take that withering tone with me, John.
We've got two different peppers.
A red pepper and a yellow pepper to symbolise heat
and s...the sun.
Then we've got the, er, armless torso to represent...
Toxic masculinity. Exactly.
APPLAUSE
Erm, is there any part of you, Steve, that thinks
that yours was more epic than the team of three?
Erm, no.
LAUGHTER
Theirs was more ambitious, more epic. Ours was more...better.
I'm gonna score them both very highly cos I,
I enjoyed them both very much.
I'm gonna give the team of three one more point.
I'll give them five points, and I'll give the beautifully done
but sedate pancake journey four points.
There we go. Congratulations, everyone.
One more task, please, little Alex Horne.
OK, and now it's time to get hot and sticky in the lab.
Ooh!
Ah, you again. Hi, John.
Ah, OK. Yeah, I see what's going on here.
Where's the...? There's no task.
What is it? Where is it?
One thing I don't have, er...
WHISPERS: Jesus, you guys.
Magnets.
"Stick the heaviest thing to the board using three of
"the ingredients on the shelves."
"Once you've chosen your ingredients,
"you may not change your mind."
"Heaviest thing that sticks to the board
"for at least one minute wins."
Have you actually tested any of this, though?
Am I a lab rat again?
"You have 12 minutes and you must choose your thing
"in the first two minutes."
So, you're looking for the heaviest thing to stick to the board,
and it's got to stay there for a minute.
And I've got to create some kind of unguent.
Is that a word? Sounds good.
Your time starts now.
I've two minutes to decide what thing.
Out of anything in the whole world. Wait, anything in the whole world?
That you can get within two minutes.
OK.
This is science, basically. This is science.
This is Elon Musk shit. It really is.
APPLAUSE
What did you say you want, Steve, an unguent?
Yes, I, I lost confidence in the word halfway through.
Well, I asked Alex to look it up and it means a lubricant for sores.
Lubricant for sores?! Yeah.
What did I mean?
I dunno. Maybe you were chafing that day.
Who are we going to see now, Alex?
First up, here is Sticky Steve, Stick Mohammed and Joanne McTacky.
Here we go.
OK, I went for...
..a big thing of water.
I don't know which is heavier.
There is a set of scales there, if that would help.
Oh, sh...!
Are we going with David? Yeah. OK.
76g.
16g.
83. I'll go with the fish.
I've never adhesed anything before. Never at all?
No, it's my first time adhesing. OK.
I'm gonna go with Sellotape, with Velcro.
Marmite. The classic.
What's this? Can I use this? What is it?
Silicone.
Ah. Gonna use those.
Velcro.
That. Styling gel. And silicone.
Sellotape should do it. Bowl of toffees. Blu Tack.
OK, so it's toffee, Blu Tack, and Sellotape.
Sellotape, yeah.
Ah!
OK.
Here we go. OK. You've got five minutes 50.
Oh!
That's satisfying, isn't it? There you go. Lovely.
OK, so, I mean, I...
HE LAUGHS WHEEZILY
There's only one bit of Sellotape. That is... Ah.
Now, I don't know if this allowed.
But...
..sort of put my sock....
It's a big sock, isn't it?
Oh, God, it's not gonna work.
It's not gonna do it on its own.
HE LAUGHS
You buggers!
Oh, come on. OK, actually, that's fine.
I'm gonna stick that there just...a sec.
Pretty good.
Oh, he's an awkward bugger.
It's absolutely no good.
It's no good.
Then I could use some of this.
Are you gonna use any Marmite? I don't think it's necessary.
Start the clock. OK, the clock is started.
SIGHS: OK.
He looks quite calm.
Erm... MELANCHOLY PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
This is, this is great television.
15 seconds gone.
Ooh, God. Does the sock even stick?
There you go. We'll leave that for a minute. Yeah.
45 seconds gone.
I'm pleased.
Ten.
Never spent this long looking at a naked man before.
I thought I'd nailed it, if I'm honest.
Joanne, it's now been there for a minute. You have succeeded.
WHISTLE BLOWS
And that's a minute. OK.
So...
I'll see if I can find you a new sock. Thank you.
..one. WHISTLE BLOWS
You've succeeded.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
APPLAUSE
So, your summary of your technique would be pick something
relatively light... Yeah.
..and just smush it against the board with whatever.
Yeah. LAUGHTER
Don't fuck with the system. Just get it done, get out.
LAUGHTER
I could smell the lunch. LAUGHTER
You relied on Blu Tack.
Blu Tack and a chewy toffee.
And you think that gave extra stability to the statue of David?
I thi... Yeah, I think so.
I think that that bit of toffee, right in his crack...
LAUGHTER
..was the unguent that he needed.
That's it.
From time to time, on this show, we start out watching
a...an adult doing a task,
and what we end up witnessing is a full break down.
LAUGHTER
You abandoned your idea with the water bottle.
You used Velcro to attach a sock, which was not the intended object,
and more pertinently, not a heavy object. Hmm.
And it didn't stick anyway. No.
Then you smeared hair gel and silicone at the sides of it.
Hmm.
And then, that fell off. Now... LAUGHTER
What...what part of that makes you think I'm mad?
LAUGHTER
I genuinely found myself feeling sorry for you, like...
In a way that would get me some points or...? No!
LAUGHTER
Did he get it to stick for a while? Not the bottle, no.
The bottle was... Well, he chose the bottle - it didn't stick.
I don't think he did the task.
He didn't. Well I imagine that Joanne's fish
is as light as a feather.
No, it's...it's as a light as four mice.
I told you, I lack ambition. 86 grams, four mice.
Steve's, 33 and a half mice.
713 grams.
Nice
Finally, Sophie and John take to the board.
Have you chosen your item? I've chosen my item,
and I'm now questioning it a lot.
It's a star. It's coming off the wall.
Great.
OK, OK. I'll select the thing. I'm gonna go chopping board.
That's a big star.
Yeah, but I think the trick is something here, you see?
Could actually... STAR BANGS
Not gone well.
Please don't hurt yourself. Not gone well.
Actually, it's quite hef... It's a bit...probably too heavy.
Should've picked it up first.
So, we're starting with Sellotape and Velcro?
Yeah. OK.
I think I went too big, didn't I? Well, it's massive.
Yeah. I got greedy.
Right, this is very silly, but I'm gonna just try this
cos I wonder, if you put enough of these on,
whether it actually holds.
I didn't think I was a competitive person,
but something's happened to me over the time I've been doing this,
and I've fundamentally changed as a person, I think.
LAUGHTER
Right.
Surprising, in't it.
Right, let's give this a go.
It's an initial...
..an initial go.
Start the cock, please. Cock...clock!
Start the clock, please. LAUGHTER
Clock's going.
I've actually smashed the shit out of this.
LAUGHTER Let's be honest.
We were all surprised.
Wasn't expecting that.
That is absolutely bloody fabulous. LAUGHTER
OK. While that's happening,
I'm gonna pick two more.
Ah, but I haven't got any liquid.
AUDIENCE GROANS Son of a bitch.
LAUGHTER
I'll just put some nice sweets around
for whoever might fancy one.
That's lovely, in't it.
It is wonderful.
We're just gonna get the flour and honey.
Right, we're going... HE LAUGHS
..we're going with the flour, honey and Blu Tack.
Oh, but this might not be a bad idea actually.
This looks just like glue.
There is engineers watching this, going,
"He's absolutely nailed this."
LAUGHTER
For...for centuries,
humankind has been mixing...
No, that's absolute crap. ALEX LAUGHS
How bad is that?
It has...it has been up there for a minute now.
That's fantastic, in't it? See you later.
Bye-bye.
Right, it's a case of dotting the paste.
I think what I'm doing here is making the chopping board heavier.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Please let go. Start the timer, please.
How long have we got left? 20 seconds.
Shit the bed. Shit the bed. Shit the bed. Shit the bed!
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Well, you summed it up yourself, really, didn't you?
Yeah. "I've absolutely smashed the shit out of this."
I think my intelligence may lie in manual labour.
LAUGHTER
Structural integrity, I fucking knew.
You...you're talking with the passion
of a turn-of-the-century mill worker.
LAUGHTER
It was a very heavy star. It was 3.3kg.
WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
John, I had such hope for you.
At one point, I thought, "This man is gonna be the face of Blu Tack
"if he pulls it off." LAUGHTER
I think I forgot you could pick anything in the world
to stick to the white board. Yeah.
And I suddenly fixated on the stuff that was in front of me.
And just, solely, the chopping board.
And you used honey and flour to try and... Was it honey?
Well, after the Blu Tack failed, he said,
"We're now entering the world of paste."
LAUGHTER
Let's give some points out.
Nick and John both chose heavy things
but didn't manage to stick them on.
So, it's zero points to John and Nick.
Joanne, you get a full three points for your 85 gram fish.
Keep it simple. Steve, four points.
But Sophie's was four times heavier than his. Wow. Wow.
And she gets the full five points! Well done, Sophie.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Let's see a scoreboard, shall we?
OK. Well, Nick, at the bottom, I'm afraid, with 11 points.
And, Steve, at the top with 18 points, at the moment.
WHISTLING AND APPLAUSE
Very good. Right, can you please all head to the stage
for the final task of the show?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hey, there, baby cakes.
That's me. Who's reading the task out?
