[Music] [Applause] w w w oh no no yes um yeah Christ wrong way that's how you do it baby okay oh my gosh [Music] thank you hello welcome to Taskmaster the show where Elite comic Minds unravel like a ball of wool we're essentially in the Coliseum but with a little less stabby stabby and a disappointing lack of let the games commence please welcome Joan mcnell John Robins Nick Hamed Sophie Willen and Steve kton and sitting next to me a man who looks like a poodle who just about escaped a house fire on his hind legs a little El thank thank you well hi great how was my weekend well it was one of the great weekends I caught up with my aunt Y which is amazing cuz she's a really fast runner and I normally lack behind we did our relay you know we did the relay in the village all the all the friends and family and we did the the 4X 100 so 100 people doing four meters each and I was parallel with Aunt Polly so um I overtook her in the final meter of the four and uh first time I managed to do that and um we came 88th we came woof woof wof all right priz has time what have we got for episode six Alex you asked them to bring in the best thing that you can get into there's the usual five points for the best thing you can get into and I thought it worth pointing out that there's also three points for the most mid-table thing back to you Greg appreciate you brother all right John what's the best thing that it's quite a tricky one to phrase this isn't it you'd like me to get into Greg you've got to get into memes John I have not so what I have done to help you be more active in the meme scene is I've uh created my very own Taskmaster memes take a look at this Greg when your assistant be like a silly goose maybe I'm more into memes than I thought you want to see another meme second meme yeah I got 99 problems and Alex horn is all of them it's a bit of fun Craig you're having fun yeah I'm an old man sweating looking at something I don't want to get into hi Nick what have you bought me that I might want to get into I thought and particularly because you are often very hot um one of the things that you could get into um would be the concept of adding a ice cube to a glass of white wine just one single Cube here it is love honestly try don't knock it till youve tried it because it really works I'm not putting ice in my wine Nick just a single Cube not at all because I'm not a [ __ ] you're just St bringing anything new to me if I want cold wine I'm going to put it in my fridge obviously it goes in the fridge at the start but I'm saying that when you pour it out and it sort of sat there so what you've brought in is is the ability for me to have a glass of wine a certain distance from my fridge okay Sophie take over for God's sake I can't really cuz I realize I've forgotten and brought the wrong present is it worth explaining at the sixth episode of this series that these aren't presents for Greg oh are they not I do judge it so it's very wise they had to give you a gift it's wise if it appears I thought the king's a bit greed this is a human hamster ball yeah that you can get into and have a have a roll around roll around it is Big yeah Freedom the opposite of Freedom simple why might I like it why might anyone like it well who doesn't want to roll around oh come on would you like to go down a hill I would absolutely love to get in that okay we'll push you down the hill Joanne all right so I as you know have been uh being quite experiential with the presents and it hasn't worked in my they're not presents so this time I've gone for a sleeping sarcophagy so that's me and the you can be tooting camon at night and you close your eyes and you're in the Valley of the Kings yeah it's all girls yeah I can see it yeah Steve only you can save this round I hope I can do something that you will enjoy as your present I have brought you as the prize uh I have brought you in today's Guardian newspaper Oh I thought like a hobby you could get into doing cryptic crosswords this better get good soon mate okay can I say by the way there was a guardian in my dressing room today yeah on mine and there there was also one in mine right well did anyone do the cryptic crossword no I won't open that Lefty stuff okay well what I hope someone might have been impressed by is the fact that I wrote today's cryptic crosswords we can have a look at it [Applause] nice I've filled in some of the answers for you the other thing you can do with cryptic crosswords you can hide hidden messages within them if if you get the right combination of words as you can see if you look at the G of ghettos on the left there and read down the unchecked letters you'll see I've put you in the cross nice and if you also read the rest of the hidden message Greg please give Steve all by Steve the only problem for me now is how to reward you suitably and to punish these for I am points hungry tonight Greg my God if you want to shift the four across the three across the two across I'll take them all cuz that took ages I some points that yes please um obviously I find it very difficult to be mean to you Nick oh one point thank you I'm sorry John I just I'm I'm not excited by memes and I have a reputation I'm an ex teacher who despise his children okay the inflatable ball three points just because I want to push Sophie will down a hill I'll give the sarcophagus four points and it feels like you've been robbed in many way that you don't get more than five points but that's that's the prize section or as I call it Greg's gift [Applause] section

was did you CU I I thought from from the VT it looked like John was the only one who'd heard of a thumb W I just forgot the intro yes well your mind was full of how quickly you can get hammered [Laughter] yeah straight to a national stereotype let's go there's no smoke without fire what can I say did you come out dressed as a leprechaun as well too far oh too let's watch some people doing a thumb war and presumably Joan getting hammered well first up it's thumpy Willen and knuckle Muhammad here we go [Applause] [Music] I've lost you a bit oh you've lost your bit hang on I'm here [Applause] [Music] 1 2 3 4 I declare a thumb [Music] war oh that was too easy actually no get off stuck yeah I'm done [Applause] [Music] did it cheers Alex I really like it Nick oh really and you know I've made it very clear during this series I don't like a pun but I didn't mind thumble Stadium yeah Nick is really good at Thumb Wars yeah and by start contrast I thought we closing highend AR here right with with the guy with a pigeon on his head I was disappointed with the thumb war cuz you're very quick I mean the thumb war itself was a [ __ ] I've got tiny hands though I mean I've got the hands of a sort of somewhere between an old man and a baby very small and weird well done with thumble Stadium Nick thank well done thank you good says a lot that so far thumble stadium is my favorite part of this task now for the attempts of John and [Music] Joan hello Hello Alex hello [Music] John basically there's three condiments there's mustard custard and Peri pis Sala mhm you've got a spit bucket here a shter room here the game is you keep one tumb clean for the whole game and if you Sully that tumb you're out so you dip all nine other fingers into the condiment suck it all all n into the next condent suck it off and the last clean T you dip it in the mustard custard and stick it to the other person's hat okay win the thumb war you may not cross the lines of fire last thumb standing wins From This Moment onwards you may only communicate using Queen song titles Don't Stop Me Now [Music] B by F form go okay oh quck oh No Sick oh really action this [Music] day fat botom go the miracle [Music] that's not what the [ __ ] is that I forgot to keep that Cen me too that's how you do it [Music] baby we are the champions [Applause] what percentage of every day are you thinking about the band Queen John when you're wearing a Freddy Mercury jacket it's on your mind it's on your mind I didn't know that many Queen songs no I looked up some afterwards we could have had flick of the wrist from a night of the Opera no no no no no no no no no no no no she heart attack it is she heart ATT someone's been kicked out of the queen fan club I'm actually in the queen fan club Joan the thing that I found intriguing about your game is I felt it was a game you've played many times before and Joanne had a catchphrase that that was sandwiched between every rule suck it off [Laughter] right it was called custard and mustard oh my what were the rules I mean I got into it yeah but I didn't know why I just want shots speed cluster and then it was like that would be such a great [Laughter] t-shirt it would be an amazing logo on a t-shirt perhaps with one additions shocks speed Custer suck it off and for our final war of the opposable it's Steve pimber tham [Music] [Music] George we have come to claim our territory this is righy territory no it's not it most certainly is 1 2 3 4 I'll declare a thumb [Music] war [Applause] no what are we doing Lefty why are we figh in this war you said it was your territory we both belong together here come let me help you can you come up thumbs up thumbs up I've lost a lot of good men in this wall you know pinky ring middle index all gone what say we going to watch the footy eh I love the footy let's go let's go then come on we wanted to go for an anti-war message yes and I think that came across really powerfully too many people have perished in Thumb Wars St I thought it was uh well conceived um moving yeah very movie and you know at times exciting all right then five contrasting thumb walls Greg we got to take into consideration the quality of the thumb wall why am I looking at you so it's weird I think it's cuz you you're going to give me the bottom my my instinct is to give you one point what do you think I think it's reasonable y I loved the production values and felt the same sort of EXC excitement level for Nick and JN if I'm honest so I'm going to give Nick and John three points each I'm going to give Joan four but my God how can I deny the beautiful tribute that was the Battle of the thumb Five Points so Steve done it again I'd like to see the scores please Alex of course he would well our habitual bottom guys Nick and Sophie are still there with four points each Joan's got eight Steve's on the lead with 10 this time all right then right let's have another this one has that familiar mix of darts and drinks and awkward [Music] positions hello team Hello Alex hi yeah one on the doorm one in the doorway please one on the doorm one on the doorway okay I'll go doorway I'll go doormat uh oh hi should I go mat do you want to go in the dome you go in the down there I was on the college darts team I'll just tell you that were you yeah okay go on you go in there you go there oh I see right you've made your beds all right here we go oh no do you want to read it who's is that that's not that's part of the task part of the task I thought someone just left it right okay so it says make the most moves on the movement circles your teammate must flip a bottle then throw a dart at each dart board to create a [Music] move if they get a bullseye you have a you have free choice also if they successfully land the bottle flip your teammate May place a dart anywhere in the dart board also if they successfully land the bottle flip your teammate May place a dart anywhere in the dart board and is it a bullseye on either of the dart boards P that one will give you free choice of part of the body P that one free choice of color okay that makes sense longest movement sequence successfully M wins so Sophie's on bottle flip right John's on darts Joanne's on movement do I need to know anything Steve in terms of like like dodgy knees or anything that you just dodgy body dodgy bum dodgy body okay everyone understand no yeah let's go yeah oh hang on the darts Captain is taking his jacket off can I are we filming we're filming Zack South [Music] [Applause] John I'm the college darts team were we I was captain of the Jesus Christ the heat is on especially a man who's stripped down to a vest Steve are you getting sick of the age related slams yet your teammate asking if you had any ailment I think Nick was looking out for me it was just common courtesy that was really oh okay you would have asked anyone that I would have asked absolutely anyone that not just grab andart let's C on right it's the team of two up first as Nick steps up to the oy to influence Steve's dodgy body here we go here we go an right pathetic unsuccessful so uh I'll try and throw Bullseye okay now it's bum so that's good bum Good Start um uh oh right on the line Brown bum or pink bum no that is bum in the pink bum in the pink there you go so that's one move completed I think I'm doing it too high in the air right left foot uh yellow left foot yellow on it great fine here we go two moves completed oh every time we have a left hand left hand left hand white would be good there you go it is white left hand white three movements okay right elbow right elbows in play okay or white there is a white back there yeah there you go five movements complete oh right elbow elow in the end right so that's already in play oh I see what would you prefer just keep it where it is oh yeah yeah quite comfortable here it's black and that's in the middle right that hand must stay on there yeah I know how can I get that I think we'll count any of if any of your bum is on pink that would be fine there that counts here we go can that is Dreadful oh my God Steve right it's over Nick it feels rude of me to say that I just had a gut instinct you'd be no good at darts oh I still think though we we had got it the right way around think in hindsight if we' have done it the you think the right way around yeah of course how are you going to get from brown to Pink to Yellow you'd have to in my Cape uh of you would have bounced around nicely wouldn't you it was nice for Steve to be able to have adap so cuz I'm quite flexible and because I'm quite small as well I don't know if that's maybe that's not helpful no it's not an advantage small Sor I didn't even know what you said oh good it's a compliment it's a team of Threes turn now with Joanne in the dome John at the oy and ba award-winning comedian and writer Sophie Willen standing at the side tossing a bottle about a bit I'm actually quite Nimble this is good okay yeah yeah and how are you at bottle flipping Sophie well we'll find out okay well you may flip right off you go job ready yeah oh left and brown smashed it well yeah that's not a successful bottle flip left elbow uhoh okay so we needs pink or brown oh left elbow pink [Music] yeah right so we ideally want bum white bum white bum that is oh that is bum White that is well done it' be lovely if it landed on that table it's left hand white this is actually the hardest bet yeah left elbow pink ass black left hand yellow yeah so what do we got now so you can choose what your hand up right hand Brown so right hand Brown please okay that's the bullseye it's Bullseye what do you want to move my right knee please right knee black please black it's black that's Bullseye that's the bullseye got a bullseye that's bullseye bullseye again Bullseye [Music] Busey he long left I think Infinity it's most moves I'm going to try for the right foot and is so right foot we want brown or pink brown so your right foot yeah okay uh we need a neon black please unfortunately in there oh sh problem might not be possible that is the end of your first movement now if you all switch around one place well that's the first part I'm only joking [Applause] the bottle was a bit of a setup really wasn't it it's just to make you look like a prick yeah yeah he knows what he's doing if you can't throw a bottle yeah but it's very hard you did pick your positions I was forced into Mine by the dart Champion that is true I mean fair play he's good at darts at D I mean genuinely impressive wasn't it I'm not sure we got to test how Nimble you were un fairness so how many like I was in that down for a good hour hour so how many different moves have they managed to do a total of 43 wow so five points to the team of three what I give these poor [ __ ] The Old Man and the little boy five thought two points let's call it charity five and two well there we go two points and Five Points to Tim of three great come we get going with another task please oh yes of course and hey remember what happened earlier on in the [Music] [Applause] [Music] show Hello Alex hello John right here we are to Nick from Sophie this the hamper I put one together for John I think think a to Steve from Joan is this a gift do you remember making one of them I don't no all right from Nick that's handy is was it is it color is it colorcoded for a reason red he thinks I'm angry or sexual oh wow shall I create a picture of the person that gave you this hamper using the contents of this hamper fast hamper picture wins you 50 minutes create a picture of the person so like yeah this is your canvas ah okay okay okay you have 15 minutes your time starts now Fab I've already got a human head which is a a great start for any likeness got two Trifles a bagette a lovely little bit red bit of carpet I I met Steve years ago and I was with my granddad and they actually have the same face this they've got the same nose it goes up I would say he's quite romantic is that because there are some roses in the H yeah yeah okay she has an hourglass figure ah I think that's sort of going to be our background lovely well we're going to start with his tuxedo a lovely round face we could always have this to prop up the head because you know behind every head there is a skull I know you know what that's his tongue cuz he's a smart guy I'd say he could cut you with his tongue yeah ski slope nose you see oh no that's a shape of her oh you do know what she looks like I need to make sure the face is there very important yeah she has lovely blonde hair and luckily we have something roughly the right uh shade I'm going to make his testicles the Rouses like I think he's respectful in the sack that's what they indicate and I think it's going to have to be beans for the face oh look it's even sticking to the thing because of the banana slime just like her actual hair just and obviously say if he's famous you got those bright orange oh the cushion that's again for under here he's the kind of guy'd offer a cushion if you needed to be on your knees around him he romantic I mean it's not actually turning out to be that bad I have to say it's not actually going too badly right it's not bad I don't think that's bad youve said that 12 times now I know John has a certain Jona which exactly with these crisps are I feel like Neil not cuz she's obviously not blue oh she smells isn't she she does smell doesn't she she's trying desperately to cover that bald spot up do the center of the eye any he liks for John no not really I haven't seen him walking around much to be honest a lot going on yeah I think that's lovely he shouldn't have a hat on should he I don't think no thanks Sophie yeah pretty good fabulous thank [Applause] you yet again I know Granddad is slammed unbelievable isn't it it's incredible isn't it yeah and is there any truth I did meet Sophie's Grandad at a do I do actually have the photo yeah well then let us be the judge you're right they have sort of got a similar face it was slush that that actually he got kicked out did he well he insulted Melvin brag from across the room did he he just screamed at him I've got your book I fell asleep it was shite [Applause] let's start with Steve's portrait of Joan I love it yeah I'm I'm pleased with that highlights look good you you blow dry in your hair oh she how she oh she is yeah she's blow dry in her hair a lot detailing it I love it what's going on with her top lip is it me yeah she's looking in the mirror she's got giving it all suck it off I would say one detail you can't see there is that underneath the face there is a skull yeah which is quite a detail that is nice isn't it momento Mory remember we are all going to die yeah and I'm not reminded enough of my own morality Steve you're right well I [ __ ] have been tonight yeah who's next we've seen Steve picture of Joan now it's Joan picture of John I like it cuz it looks like a memorial to me I think it looks like someone who's dropped a hamper well it's my understanding was it was the essence of John and I I knew John to be a very sweet romantic man so that's kind of what I went with and also that's not what I heard in your earlier it's a real man puts down in a cushion Craig I can tell you and roses for hands roses for hands and testicles who's next okay so now it's Johnston let's see his picture of Nick oh well I wanted to represent the the magic in um Nick's career so he is bursting out of a bin so I used the flow to create the tuxedo and um his face is made of beans I love the way you've you've caught the thick chin strap that Nick wears good who's next okay well obviously it's now Nick's picture of Sophie I genuinely don't think that's too bad it's captured an energy of sorts yeah baffled yeah if you imagine that face turning around you and going huh okay okay one more this is how Sophie Willen sees Steve pton this a really good s that's really good I look like a Mr man I just saw it and went yes okay well here are all five of the portraits well honestly I don't think Joann's necessarily captured the man there was some detail in there I'm going to give it two points not one ah thank you I'm giving John three points then I think I'm going to give Nick and Steve Four Points because I just think that Sophie yes I think Sophie has captured the man some1 what are the scores the scores well it's very satisfying it goes 16 15 14 13 10 for Nick and it's Steve at the top at the moment it looks like this let's have a look [Applause] well it's that time again please make your way to the stage for the final task of the [Applause] show hello you lovely boy oh thanks Greg it's a team task I know one member from each team must stand on the gold circles beneath team of two who's going to stand on the Golden Circle me team of three who's going to stand on the Golden Circle I am is that right oh Joan please Joan and Nick make your way down to the golden circles not that way no that way you that way yes but [Applause] not who will be reading the team task out I would like Sophie to read the task completely cover your teammate in rubber rings catchers must face the Taskmaster at all times with their hands above their head throwers must stay behind the white line first team to completely cover their teammate in rubber rings wins he'll be gone in three rings not with my hands in the air surely I mean Nick's a three- ring man he's a three I'm GNA come down into the trough to retrieve the Rings and fling them back and then I'll blow the whistle and we'll start but the hands must be above the head good and we can't go past this white line you can't go past if anyone catches you going over this line your team will be disqualified right Greg when's the game over the game is only over if I shout I cannot see Nick or I cannot see Joanne okay flingers get ready okay good luck hands up back back hands up let's go and we're off oh you can move Jo once [Applause] don't cross that line [Applause] S one over here yes awesome oh hands up hands up at all times oh they're catching up lean [Music] back it's close it's clush oh [Applause] [Music] God I can just see a little bit of Nick I cannot see Nick I cannot seen it that was electric right let's free them and let's add that to the final scores come and join me [Applause] wow it was so close so close fine margins it's all about fine margins it's all about fine margins you want to see some fine margins I want to if you're going to show me margins you make them fine have a look at this fine margin oh well I think what I can see there oh that Steve is a foot that's a little bit over the line [Music] I mean I'm not I'm not sure it's conclusive but I can show you this one yeah oh that would be another foot over the line that was about 20 seconds later I could show you this one oh a third oh my I'm sorry don't worry you don't have to disqualify us you you think I don't have to follow the rules of the competition yeah I do I think it's your rules your game well as much as it breaks my heart r rules are rules I'm afraid Nick and Steve are disqualified listen don't start atting me we said what the rule was if you cross the line you're disqualified so I'm afraid it's five points to the team of three wow and poor old Nick I know I mean I was at the bottom anyway but still and not just the episode the series series you're on 72 points yeah the next one's on 83 that's Sophie 98 to Steve Joan's on 105 John's 113 Joan's doing really well yeah he shouldn't seem surprised at one person not not not surprised like genuinely proud I think it's brilliant so tell me some scores that that's put the cat amongst the pigeon so to speak again yes Nick is rooted on 10 points you can't get much lower than that but with double that score it's her first Victory 20 points goes to Joan mcnell oh Joan MCN is the winner of episode six please go and get your finish you can get into so what have we learned from today's show we've learned it's exciting being part of a big show like this just as it's exciting being part of a new phenomena okay because let's face it it's not going to be long until the number one Christmas game is going to be mustard custard oh my but of course it's all about the winner of episode six it's
