[Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh wow Davis and this is Taskmaster we're approaching the halfway point of the Colossal competition to win this incredible prize this not just a trophy it's a life goal but who are the media individuals desperately hoping to take you home with them I'll tell you who did this [Applause] no Fielding and look who's pulled up his little permanent Pew this little Alex Hall [Music] episode four election nice time I'm feeling very safe safe one because I'm standing next to you and you're very strong I'm a big boy too because I know I've prepared well and three because I'm wearing shin pads so just in case what is today's prize category well get ready because today we've asked them to bring in their most surprising picture of themselves surprising so you're going to judge which is the most surprising picture yep whoever wins that is going to get the first big points of the show whoever wins the whole show will win five surprising pictures to take home so that's brilliant yeah that's that's that's motivation isn't it okay we'll start with Joe then what's your surprising picture it's me and a hammock without a top on and my back fat is pressed through the okay I mean do you have do you have any more questions so I certainly do not it surprised me and it horrified me that's a lovely start good stuff uh it's worth noting at this point this is show four and the prize category Hugh has lost every single one everything he's bought in has been universally judged to be [ __ ] let's let's hope that he uh UPS his game a little bit tonight it's not necessarily A surprising photograph of me it is the use to which I put it which is surprising because when I when I'm walking down the street I get people going oh look there's huge Alice so what I've started to do now in the street is put this on and nobody thinks it's me why the [ __ ] would Hugh Dennis be wearing so that one person can't be under the mask is you Dennis which means I can do my shopping in in Comfort apart from people thinking I'm a bit weird you're right you're right mate no matter what's your surprising photo here we are so um [Applause] I wish we had a picture of Mana because you look quite like mayonnaise yes it's been said by you just then surprising break it is uh you know I tell this is the thing it it isn't that surprising to me now let's put herself in that picture and you might like to reflect on that no what's your photo um I thought I'd present you with one uh of me as the Virgin Mary that's from the bouchiers presumably yeah yeah looking a bit like lady die hauntingly beautiful Lolly so it's funny that you said that you look like lady die because mine is a photo of me as lady dark [Applause] it was a political statement about when people black up in movies and I'll tell you this it's a conspiracy theory about lady diet that we've not heard before there's a black woman okay you've got to make your mind up okay I'm not putting cue last because oh God this is so I think I am gonna put you left it's rubbish absolutely rubbish sorry Jessica uh boosh I'm not surprised that Noel's in the bush Noel goes into fourth place third oh double down I'm in the painting oh yeah yeah you know what that means in that case it's the first place you go uh second it's old hamback over there okay and first of course what wonderful news Princess Diana's alive let's make some episode Headway what's next Alex okay uh we are going to hopefully get high and wet right yes your favorite [Music] yeah hello oh hang on hello hello Lolly hins that's so good that Sun's [ __ ] bright how do you think is this thing can't read that make the make the highest splash it's the most useless telescope I've ever said it makes it the same size as the thing that's a long way away make the highest Splash you have 15 minutes and one attempt before you commence the task you have to say who you think will win the task those who correctly guess the winner will win an extra five points your time starts when Alex blows his whistle who do you think's gonna make the highest splash I don't think I'm gonna get make the highest Flash it's between Lolly and Hugh that's it yeah who do you think's gonna make the highest splash yes who do you think is going to make the highest Splash Mel okay I think I'm not sure about Noel no I'd like to think you'd be me highest splash 15 minutes I don't even know what that means that was sad wasn't it and they said who's your best friend I went now I know who's your best for a moment she went no no no [Applause] he often wears things like feathers yeah and in my mind's eye I saw a big old Splash and a sort of drowned feathery gross and that worried me see it won't be that it's wacky dresses like a crow pretty angry with the telescope here well I couldn't see through it yeah and that seems to me like a fairly fundamental purpose of the telescope I mean you might be interested to know all of you that no one asked you to look through that telescope so they had they had one attempt each but they could test their splashing equipment so they could have multiple practice splashes yes yes that's right I'm going to start with all the men good luck [Applause] I'm off to the shed oh yeah oh that'll be good [Music] is this making anyone feel like they need a week that went quite High [Music] yes yes yes [Music] yeah I'm ready yeah yeah can I use that hammer on the string I've got to line it up you ready yep there we are beautiful but watch yourself because I've got a bowling ball Joe and kit you ready one attempt you good luck [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right [Music] [Laughter] [Music] beautiful just to see you soaked I didn't sort of think the water was going to come out yeah funny old game isn't it throwing a bowling ball into a bucket of water and out it comes you're all going what's Hugh doing he was I'll tell you what he was doing he was doing what my dad used to do she was he was dropping a Plumb line for absolutely accuracy which is what all dads do before they totally miss a [ __ ] book I wanted to go higher in the thing but I was told to stop because it was 55. Joe you very cleverly raised the bucket up giving yourself extra height as Noel did as well you got to six foot two oh that's how tall I am it's exact same height as you whereas Hugh got 18 inches which is the same height he was when he was born and then I've had to go metric for Noel because it didn't go big enough five meters ten God almighty is such a frustrating manner but it's time to take a commercial break see you in a whole bunch of seconds [Music] good to see you again we are part way through a task Alex can you remind us of the current situation please I can they're trying to create the highest Splash and the boys had varying degrees of wet success Knowles being the best degree success so let's see how a melon only got on the ladies I'm gonna get there [Music] right Jose please Jose up there up the tower as they say thanks my darling [Music] look at the height that's a splash right hang on no look this is a splash against the house there there it's a splash okay go yeah [Music] see that oh yeah here we go there she blows oh we're splashing the clock yes is that get it yeah got it yeah yes halfway up the clock that one thank you Mel yeah enough now thank you thank you your time's up [Music] oh that felt good [Music] I still think Ollie's gonna win I think this could be possibly an old female I don't want to be smugged though pleased with that I'm gonna have to ask by assistant to clarify what a splash is okay a splash is to cause liquid to strike or fall on something in irregular drops on something so the splash would have to be measured from the water hitting something and coming off officially yes right are you worried that Lolly sprayed I think lollies worked out for herself what happened Lolly sprayed into the air and caused the splash but that Splash came off the ground in which case lollies was a lower Splash than Hues weirdly weirdly it was because she used her brain but just not enough don't ask a more fundamental question you wouldn't let me climb any higher up that Tower but you're very happy to let Mel spray a hose pipe of water near an electrical power line smell sprayed the clock we're happy with that we'll splash the clock yeah of course because the splash came off a high surface so she Splash o'clock three o'clock on the clock was uh four meters fifty so not as high as Knolls metric 510. oh so did the crow win he wins literally and morally okay Alex just summarize the final scores what just to say the three people who voted for themselves did worse so it was Lolly and fifth I'm afraid then fourth Hugh Joe third male second the crow the crow what's the scoreboard well it's very tight except for Hugh um there were three leaders not least just behind them it looks like this Joe melon on seven now look at that tight I think I'm ready for another task oh sure I think my um yes but apparently this uh this means yes it's time to dance Greg [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's a green screen hello hi Lily my old friend green screen like a big snooker table is it um [Music] oh brilliant choreograph a dance for you and Alex to perform to any of the following ringtones Apex by the seaside Night Owl playtime radiate censure circuit crystals uplift marimba strum you have 30 minutes to prepare most stylish dance wins your time starts now let's have a listen [Music] let's go foreign yes yeah [Music] very male 96. 104. [Applause] [Music] why'd you get on the table mate [Laughter] mind your own business that was that was 1996 for you oh awesome banging barely remember it that's all the old whistles bandanas trance just came in all back oh yes yes that you're just stopping me talking if only we'd known it was that easy did you see a raven we can start with yeah let's see a raven there is an unfortunate amount of My Flesh in this one near the end is this our dance yes what do you think it was yeah it wasn't the other thing we did so this is Mel stamps is this censure [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] yes this is what censure is what we were looking for I think Alex will agree with me is the the the beauty of censure yes contrasting the gritty Urban landscape of mid 90s pre-raved Britain oh yeah the only problem was it wasn't censure it was radiate but apart from that you read the CD wrong but it was yeah they were there were two back alleys in that video if you wanna have a look at Alex's back alley I like to imagine that in his back alley there's a tiny smell and Alex dancing we're gonna listen to some censure now who knows yeah Noel Fielding chose censure and this is his dance oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] I wanted to capture the cheekiness of the music hence the little shrew move oh it's a shrew it was more of a Stoke when Alex did it but that's okay I'm not sure why we're in Covent Garden okay I don't remember request the garden and just like that it's the end of part two see you shortly hello and thanks for turning to Taskmaster before the break five comedians were choreographing dances to ringtones who's up next Alex two of them picked the same ringtone so we've edited their dances together and their names they are Joey Phoebe and Lolly likes it ready [Music] Alex it's okay though because friendship is truth and I believe you know the way [Music] thank you already moving narrative in yours I thought when you made that little mistake I thought that that was a genuine mistake but it was part of your choreography and then I said friendship is truth and I believe in you all the way okay what do you mean friendship is truth um sort of friendship is truth truth is friendship yeah Joe was there a message you were hoping to convey it looked to me like it was a couple of guys bouncing around and then a plane flying down yes that's what it looks like what I was trying to convey with it is that friendship is true so that only leaves you here's what happened [Music] thank you [Music] what's going on [Music] we will ever laugh on this show and and it's supposed to be a light-hearted thing but I also know that when you put an effort into something especially putting yourself out there creatively that um one has to deal with it sensitively however on this occasion horseshit [Laughter] [Applause] bang smashing into last place I stuck Joe in uh fourth place just because of the absolute nonsense that Lolly tried to spin about friendship being truth I just felt like the least she'd made an effort I cannot split the the work the two works of art that I saw there that's going to be a joint first so it's a joint first yeah let's go right next task yes so this one involves loo roll or toilet paper but never Lou paper here we go [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh look a t and an M made out of toilet roll nice like it thank you it's a powerful image excellent create a portrait of a celebrity using Lou wrong there is a camera above your head the map beneath your feet is your canvas best portrait wins you have 20 minutes and your time starts very much now so it's like big Art Attack are you an artistic person um well in some ways but I've never used it's these this is a tool before so I guess choose a celebrity first of all okay I'll think about that for a minute um so I think of someone who's got noticeable features it will be easy to do in luro [Music] the hum thank you you pleased I think so I reckon it's going to be quite accurate okay are you an artistic sort of man you know let's look at Lolly other Focus first yes please okay you can try to work out who that is if I haven't seen the bubble Gandhi [Laughter] but you're ruling out candy because there's a bubble what's what is that it says accio I don't I'm not 100 sure but I presume that's something from the uh argument Harry Potter yeah it's a nice picture I'm not sure how much it looks like Harry Potter okay you can see a Hugh Dennis if you want this is his picture you can guess again who it is oh that's good oh the first thing I will say is it's nice to say something positive to Hugh thanks that is a beautiful picture it's lovely yeah depending on who it is you my friend I'll be back in the game here I think it's Hugh Grant well the clue is you left the room and you came back with a five pound note it's the queen it is weirdly the queen amazing how quickly you can pull defeat from the Jaws who's next no wow well I think that's the self-portrait of Noel Fielding it's a really wonderful picture I love it Joe likes it did this with his blue Rolls really great yeah there we go oh there's a clue there for you Greg yeah is it Pam Laura Anderson no no I know it is it's uh Pat it's the actress that plays Pat's butcher it's Pam St Clements absolutely it is attempt tough tough guess this John Lennon nope is it God nope do you want to try God's son Jesus yeah nope can you remember Chris Christopherson just Barry Gibbs do you want to see all five together I think Hughes would be a clear winner if it looked anything like the queen if it even looked female I'm going to put that third I'm going to put Knoll in first place Pam St Clements in second and I'm tying Gandhi and Barry Gibbs Chris Christopherson in last place okay there we go okay fine so there was no Fielding what's next Alex right well it's like gymnastics but with the tasks of Jim Jim don't worry but it's Jim Tusk tits [Music] oh would you call this um jumping horse yes there's a jumping horse jumping jack because you they do that thing don't they Moscow 1980 very strong on the old uh what is this a pole no it's not a pole vault it's a horse do the most incredible thing with this pommel horse 10 minutes your time starts when you next blink [Music] oh I don't know you're gonna no when you next blink what if I never blink oh that's just I did this for four hours last night I've got Seafood eyelids okay is that a blink yeah yeah okay I think I blinked yeah there's a little one there okay I'm gonna oh we're off oh we're off uh yeah okay your time starts when you next blink oh you blinked immediately man did not 10 minutes ago so what we asking for again just remind me something incredible involving the pobble hall incredible we're going to start off with the athletes Hugh and Lolly [Music] there you are um [Applause] [Music] happy with that one I just really like doing that I'm carrying on doing that as long as you want we've got two more minutes ago yeah thank you um foreign there I'm done okay I did think that was incredible I did think 11 leaps in 10 minutes yeah I didn't manage to stand up it was because they um if I'd done it straight onto the concrete let me because of a health and safety yeah to put in context she watched the video of the London 2012 Olympics gymnastics before what she did genuinely did that yeah for the hypothesis you've come out and just stood by the Palmer horse and done nothing that would have been more incredible like a very different approach yeah [Music] what's that let's turn the tracking what's it meant to be no idea oh yes big old horse deep [Music] okay that that is finished actually what it is is it's a piece of Modern Art it's a very sad scene this horse was ridden here by an elderly gentleman who's gone to go and collect something forgotten to take the Zimmer and has died a great allegory for our age should I go now I suppose so why is the horse wearing Wellies because it's wet out isn't it okay I was really moved by the story of the old guy I just wondered on reflection that the sadness inherent within that story was slightly diluted by the weird pommel horse Welly Waring tennis racket dick cone Force I think if anything that adds to the beauty so I think if I put it into words then the beauty will be diminished It's Time to Say Goodbye to part three it's all about part four now we'll see you there in a minute [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome back to part four what's going on man well they were trying to do something incredible with a pommel horse Lolly and Hugh went for the classic athletic approach Joe did something else uh we're now going to have a look at I'm going for this pomel gadreich pomel okay ready pomel gadreich what a waste of everyone's doing let's go laughs where does it go not the mistake that is some some pretty Las Vegas [ __ ] using camera trickery you manage to make up on the horses up here sorry you said the words camera trickery yeah did you see the pommel horse after that did anyone see it no it's gone did you see it I was there so don't ask me I was there so I saw it being moved by the people yeah awesome oh out of the magic circle the last pommel performer is Mr Noel Fielding [Music] um presumably achieved through camera trickery or did the people bring you on actually imagine that one yeah it's really great hang on and mine wasn't yeah that one he did that dressed as a Russian peasant woman and I turned I turned from a pommel back into me you've got to judge this in fragrance right obviously I'm putting lolly in last place that goes without saying okay then I'm gonna put horsey I'm gonna put horsey D in the little Russian peasant woman that is it in joint next place okay yeah and then I'm gonna put the best performance by far in joint first place with the petty vote for Hugh jumping over the pommel horse Okay so one point to Lolly three points to Joe and Noel and then five points to melon Hugh correct scores it's tied to the top the melon one point separate there we go right what you get there's one more thing to do please head to the stage for the final task of the show let's find out the tuskers no would you please read this week's final task there we go nope thank you mate the highest tower using these tubes you have 100 seconds make the highest tower we're going to measure the tower from the base of the tower to the top of the tower yeah good luck your time starts very tense [Music] [Applause] still one minute left [Applause] thank you for 20 seconds there's two seconds left five [ __ ] I guess we've got three here we've got three with uh Mel three lengthwise High you've got a choice between the two or the tower they're joined oh every a choice with Lolly so we're going to the Stonehenge or the double horsey D um the one that's higher the two two three well basically uh Mal and Hugh have got three the others have got two right there we go [Music] come back well pretty impressive Tower tasking in a way it was probably the most cautious task we've ever had it was very cagey yeah cagey fight rather than cage fight but um The Joint third we've got Noel Lolly and Joe but the two joint winners that task was you and Mel lovely I'm going to tell you uh the series scores it's the exact midpoint of the series yeah and the scores are disparate uh Hugh at one end with Lolly and Noel way off in the distance that's 78 points after four shows yeah four shows left still up all to play for but you know this is all very well let's celebrate tonight's winner uh those tubes meant that uh overtaking Noel at the very last minute was Mel gedrich would you see here with her second win of the series the winner of five surprising pictures it's Mel please we learned today well we've learned that friendship is truth there's some horses have a tennis racket instead of a big old d some Russian peasant women turn out to be Noel Fielding that was episode four of Taskmaster thanks for watching well done Mel and goodbye [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] for more Taskmaster subscribe now [Music]
