Pooph!
Yaow! I just need to read that again.
SHE LAUGHS Oh...!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello. I'm Greg Davies.
Welcome to the penultimate episode of this series.
As we enter the crucial final stages of the competition it's still all to play for.
And when I say "it", I mean a papier-mache head
that doesn't look like anyone,
painted gold by an exhausted member of the art department.
But as my grandfather always said,
it's not about the prize it's about the competition.
He was, of course, a compulsive gambler who lost everything,
including my grandmother and access to his own children.
So who are the five comedians
willing to risk all for glory tonight?
They are Charlotte Ritchie! CHEERING APPLAUSE
Jamali Maddix!
Lee Mack!
Mike Wozniak!
And Sarah Kendall.
And now, sitting next to me, a man who I've got a secret respect for.
He's super talented and he's a devoted family man to boot.
To my left over there is Gary the cameraman.
How are you doing, Gary?
And also to my left, this idiot, this hairy tube.
He's a plum, he's a goofball, he's a lemon, he's a colossal loser.
It's little Alex Horne.
It's quiz time. GREG SIGHS DRAMATICALLY
All the questions are about Greg Davies. Yes or no answers, please.
You ready? OK. Yeah. Yeah? Excited? Sure.
Has Greg Davies ever been on Have I Got News For You?
Yes. Yes. What was that like? It was all right.
Was it? Has Greg Davies ever been on Saturday Kitchen?
Yes. Oh! What was that like? Didn't mind it, I got free food.
Oh? Better. Well, it's relevant for the final question.
Does Greg Davies applaud when the waiter gives him his food?
No. No, you don't. Nope.
You've got all three right and you've won $25
on a massive cheque.
Do you like it? It's like you go, "What's going to wind him up?"
before the show's even begun.
I genuinely thought you'd like that one. No!
No, the quiz? Did you like the quiz element? It's weird, Alex.
It's weird!
What's the Prize Task category?
Well, we've asked them to bring in the nattiest knitwear.
It's a term I'm sure we're all familiar with.
You'll judge whose knitwear is the nattiest,
give its owner your maximum of five points
and then at the end of the show one lucky winner
will take home the nattiest knitwear. All right.
Lee Mack.
I've brought this.
Natty knitwear for children. Whoa! That's horrific.
I was inspired by this. I found it online.
I was looking for a knitting pattern for kids' clothes
and I saw this and I thought yes.
That's lovely cos their faces are kept warm.
Their bodies are kept warm.
MIKE: It's sewn into the skin? No, it's not sewn into the skin.
No, it's...it's glued on with superglue. Oh, right.
Is it a real thing? This is what Lee's had commissioned based on that.
So... Wow. Oh! SARAH: Very unnerving.
That's a little bit more friendly. I think they look quite comfy.
Comfy, Greg, but natty?
Natty? God, that's very natty. Oh, is it? Sorry, yes.
That's harsh. Good. Well done. Natty.
I'm glad you appreciate it. Good natty start.
Yo. Yo. Mikey W. Hmm. What have you brought in?
I've... I've done some hand crafting again.
So I've made a handmade bespoke piece of Taskmaster merch.
Wow. Well, whose head is this, Greg?
Oh! Oh! Is it supposed to be me? Well, it's for anyone.
I mean, I'm thinking you know, if they make it into merch
then people can go and, you know, parade around as the Taskmaster.
If you were to wear it then, yes, you...
I mean, you could use it as a disguise.
Or you can just warm your head up. It's artisan. Mm.
Right. Jamali. Erm, honestly, I didn't know what natty meant.
Yeah. So, uh... You could've asked someone.
Yeah, I could've but you know, er, it was, it was... I was at home.
Have you got internet? No. OK.
No, no. No internet at my house. No internet, no phone.
No, no. Sorry. Sorry, Greg. We don't all live like you.
So, er, what I did, I got a jumper
and just to be sure I, I, er - whatever that is - natty into it.
He embroidered the word natty into it. Yeah. So it looks like this.
It's natty knitwear. That is the nattiest cos it says natty.
It's a literal interpretation. I like it.
That's one of my favourite jumpers that I ruined for this show.
You do not own that jumper. Yes, I do. Come on!
That? My dress sense is very diverse. I'm a very layered person.
Every weekend he's down Cornwall, hauling in his fishing nets, Jamali.
He's well known for it. Yeah!
Well, it's really nice. Thank you. Is it worth maybe three points?
I think it might do better at this stage in the game. Really?
Oh, I'll take that. Sarah. Yes.
So about, er, 15 years ago at my birthday party
a very close friend of mine said, "I know you love frogs,"
and then she gave me this jumper.
Here it is. I don't like frogs. I don't talk about frogs.
I don't even have, like, a frog anecdote.
That's gross. Yeah, it's feral.
She forgot your birthday present.
She went into her own cupboard
and she found a frog jumper at the bottom.
And she thought, "I'll have to try and like psyche her out,
"make her think she's into frogs."
I don't... Do people do that? Yeah.
55 frogs on it.
Charlotte. OK. Sometimes your extremities get cold. Yeah.
You've got to sort that out. So, it's a nose warmer.
LAUGHTER
A company based in Sheffield makes these. Wow.
They've been demonstrated by Dr Hilary Jones. He loves them.
And Christine Bleakley had a good giggle when she wore one.
If you squint it looks like a boil.
But I don't enjoy getting a...
I don't enjoy getting a cold nose. That's awful. No, who does?
This one is wool. They also come in faux fur or fleece.
OK, here's the good news. I'm not giving anyone one point.
It's good news. Hooray! That is good news.
Er, here's the slightly bad news.
LEE: You're all getting nothing.
I'm doing this to teach, er, Sarah's friend a lesson.
You can't just get some old frog jumper out the cupboard
and give it as a birthday present.
You're out of order. She doesn't like frogs and now she's only got two points.
Think.
Jamali correctly predicted he's getting three points.
Well done! That's what I asked for. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, lovely.
Appreciate it. I'm very suggestible when it comes to you, young man.
I know. Well done. Joint four points to these two clowns.
Erm, I don't like having a cold nose
and I think if I saw Charlotte out wearing that nose warmer
I'd go, "Phew! Natty."
Five points. Five points to Charlotte Ritchie. You're kidding.
There it is. CHEERING
Right. On we go. What have we got first, young man?
Ah, well. At last it's the contestants' turn to play god.
GREG GASPS
SHE LAUGHS
How are you doing? I'm good. This is cool. Oh.
That's not at all terrifying.
Little message in a bottle. Is that my...my task? Maybe.
Shall we? I love this.
Boink. Have you got your glasses?
Please can you not talk to me like I'm 96, Alex.
I haven't got my glasses, actually.
I'll be able to read it.
Oh, my God. Look how small that is.
Erm... Would you like me to read it to you? Can anyone read that?
"Make the most impressive and realistic weather."
Oh, wow. "Make the most impressive and realistic weather
"for Taskmaster Island."
"You have 30 minutes
"and your weather must last for no more than a minute.
"Your time starts now."
Well, what have we got? We've got rain.
Sun, snow.
We've got snow. Did I say snow?
I was going to maybe make it rain and...and...and wind.
Maybe snow. Snow might look better.
Rainbows.
It's not weather.
Do you have a fan?
Tornados. Hurricane. Twisters.
Whirlwind. Tidal waves.
That's not weather either.
And I might even set up a hairdryer as well
because then it can be like a blizzard.
Yeah, a blizzard!
Thank you. Do you mind if I, er, toddle off and look for some kit?
Right. Lovely. Hmm. Weather.
Sarah, do you do a lot of positive affirmation
when you're building up to making a decision?
Do I do that? Alex. Yeah.
Can you show Sarah's positive affirmation system
for once she's made a decision?
Yeah. I did isolate something.
Do you want to see it? Yes, please.
And I might even set up a hairdryer as well
because then it can be like a blizzard.
Yeah, a blizzard! LAUGHTER
See what I mean? Who are you angry with?
It's like someone inside's gone, "Not a blizzard!"
and you've gone, "Yeah! A blizzard!!"
I do undermine myself constantly and have to...
There is that sort of...
Yeah, that's actually a really chilling insight into every day...
Oh. ..of my life.
Sorry to put it on national television. Ah, no, it's fine.
Well, we're going to start with the two that look the most like weather presenters
and that's Charlotte Ritchie and, of course, Lee Mack. Here we go.
And what I might need you to do, Alex, if you don't mind is
hold this colander there.
Up there. I don't mind. So, sunny day.
Breeze in the air.
This doesn't look like a place that's going to get fog.
Well, you're wrong, Alex, for even thinking it.
Wait. What is this I see? Is the fog descending?
I think it is, Alex.
A mysterious fog on Taskmaster Island.
PLASTIC BOTTLE CRACKLES There's something in the distance,
crackling away.
A little bit of... And then the rain starts to pour.
Oh, no. It's particularly heavy on that side of the island.
This is Greta Thunberg's nightmare.
It is. This is the smoke from all the chimneys
that are destroying this planet.
But it's weather for the competition,
so I'm not losing points for that.
It's fog. I've changed my mind.
Oh, wow. It's coming in now.
And then the lightning starts to...to happen and it's...
Oh, no! Oh, no!
That umbrella's never going to save me.
And then it's hail.
Hail. But hail in bursts.
It's really rolling in.
Is this...? I mean, I don't know how good this looks on TV.
It's very hard to tell how this looks because I can't see anything.
Oh, it's brilliant. Come closer.
There's lightning.
SHE PUFFS
Oh, no! You've been blown over, Alex.
And then the lightning stops.
And the rain's stopping.
Phew! That was quite a storm. Yeah!
I call it the Lee Mack hurricane pea souper.
Thank you, Lee. HE COUGHS
APPLAUSE
In a very child friendly way,
Charlotte created an entire weather system. Ooh!
There was thunder, there was rain. Yeah.
There was lightning. Mm. There was, er, wind.
There was an awful accident that occurred as a result.
A man clearly perished on the island. Yeah.
The lighting conditions changed. Mm.
And, er, Lee filled the room with smoke.
He even started talking himself out of one point halfway through
by saying that this was pollution.
And suddenly went, "Oh, no, hang on! That's not weather."
There was... There was a bit of... There was a bit of smog.
I mean, you know, fog and smog can...can combine.
Smog isn't weather. It's pollution. Mm.
Who's next? Next it's our breezy Jamali Maddix.
Yeah, so it's a tropical island. Yes.
And weather changes quickly.
So, it's like I'm thinking there's thunder.
That... That was like the lightning hit.
Lighting it on fire and that. Yeah, the sea's on fire over there.
Yeah.
Do watch out for that flame. All right, Dad.
F...!
So that's... We've had the thunder and lightning.
It's not working.
Oh, sorry, I'm so sorry.
It has quite a strong smell, this storm.
Like, the hail storm on top of it.
LAUGHTER
That's big hail.
Yeah, he's got pretty badly burnt.
The umbrella's intact though.
I mean, I gave it a go. Yeah, that was really...
It was definitely impressive. Thank you, Jamali.
All right, thank you, mate. APPLAUSE
Right!
The task, I think, was we wanted you to create a weather system on the island
but I think you misheard.
You heard that we want you to fuck an island up and kill everyone.
Was that not the task? No but it can happen.
But it was weather and there was lightning that was weather
and then there was hail storms, which is weather, and rain.
Yeah, yeah. They were big old hail stones, weren't they?
Yeah, so, some hail stones can be the size of this, mate.
You never see...? You never seen the news?
They were trying to create the most impressive and realistic weather.
OK. It was impressive.
It may have been lacking a little bit of realism.
You know, the sea being on fire and all.
That might be the weather of the future. Yeah, yes.
Maybe that's just... See, that's what I was going for.
It's an apocalyptic vision. I'll take that. Thank you.
OK, we're going to stop for a break.
Just time to set your partner a task.
They've got three minutes to give you five reasons to stay.
The time starts now.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to Taskmaster.
You find us at the start of another part
and I'd like to hand over now to little Alex Horne for the weather.
Well, tomorrow's going to be so cloudy, man.
But inside the Taskmaster garage
the competitors are trying to manufacture the most realistic and impressive weather
over Taskmaster Island
and finally we're going to see the attempts of Sarah Kendall and Mike Wozniak,
who is, of course, already famous for his wind production.
LAUGHTER
Oh, what's that? A flash of lightning.
Erm, man doesn't know what's going on.
This guy's going to lie down though, which cows do when a storm's coming.
Or they stand up. I can't... It's one or the other. Yeah, either way.
CLATTERING Ooh, distant rumble of thunder.
Oh, that's really fast.
If I do that... Oh, it really goes out fast.
All right. Hang on.
Oh, no. Oh, no! Shit, guys!
Oh!
It's getting closer and here it comes, the wind.
LEAF BLOWER WHOOSHES
And a smattering of rain.
Smattering of rain.
Moving more into a sort of downpour now.
And, very unusually for a Caribbean island, hail.
That's done for the man in a big way.
There we go.
A bit more.
There we are.
That's a heavy, er, snowstorm there.
It was, wasn't it?
It was quite localised, wasn't it, over the house?
It was. It was like they'd done something wrong, yeah.
It's dying down now.
Just a smattering of rain. Just a little shower.
Then see if this works.
LEAF BLOWER WHOOSHES
Is that a rainbow? It doesn't work, does it? It's all...
Back-up rainbow, back-up rainbow.
LAUGHTER
Back-up rainbow. APPLAUSE
Erm, the most localised weather we've seen so far... Yeah.
..that your island was centrally affected by all the weather.
Yeah, I said, it's almost like they've done something wrong.
I missed the narrative. What...? What did happen?
There was an incident inside the house.
It had sort of become folklore.
That's affected the weather? Yeah, yeah.
Because it angered the Lord and, er, that was really...
He, the Lord, was smoting the house.
With his salt, sugar and ice cubes. Yes.
The snow fall was impressive. Yeah.
But now that I know God's involved,
I also think it's realistic, so it's really high scoring.
OK. Erm, Mike. Pleased with that?
I spent most of my 20 minutes trying to construct a rainbow.
Couldn't really remember how to do that.
Yeah, you had light, you had water, you were trying to refract it.
You looked it up on the internet.
But in the end you used three strips of gaffer tape.
When I saw you hold up your, er, rainbow
I thought, that's the most tragic tableau I've ever seen in my life.
This is the tragic tableau of Mike Wozniak and his rainbow.
That.
I mean, look at the rainbow next to it as well.
It's not my proudest moment but I think you can see that I know that at the time.
Here are my points.
Fog boy, one point.
Oh! Ooh, fog boy.
Wow.
Jamali was incredibly dramatic
but, you know, until we reach the apocalypse
it wasn't very realistic. Two points.
Oh! Then Sarah three.
Mike four. Charlotte five.
Charlotte! Another five points for Charlotte Ritchie. Thanks! APPLAUSE
Yeah, Alex. It looked really realistic.
It did look realistic. It looked realistic. Thank you.
Scores, please. We've got three people in last place.
Jamali, Lee and Sarah have all got five.
Charlotte's got double their score with ten!
APPLAUSE
What are we going to see next, Alex?
We're going to see our five contestants reach their tipping points.
Oh, hi, L-Lee. Hi, Alex.
I got your name wrong a bit when I said it.
Well, there's so many syllables.
Sarah. Alex.
Erm, OK. Build a tower, then topple your tower
so that the yoghurt lands in a numbered square.
Build a tower and then topple your tower
so that the yoghurt lands in a numbered square, which is over there.
You have one yoghurt and one toppling attempt.
Highest score wins. You have 20 minutes. Time starts now.
And it's got to stay in the circle?
You've got to build it on the circle. Yeah.
And the height of the tower isn't mentioned in this.
It's not saying build the highest tower. No. Just any.
But you'll see the further you go the higher the number. OK.
Do you have a number in mind at this stage?
Well, you know, shoot for the moon, right?
Go for number ten.
Hm. Toppling.
Er, just clarify the points system for me please.
Well, the highest number that the yoghurt went into
would get the highest points in the game.
So splash counts. Splash counts.
If they splash into a square it counts.
Get some yoghurt in the highest number.
If you want to get in the number ten that's nine metres away from the circle.
So you want to go nine metres up, down. That's high.
That's high. That's high. Very high.
That's like, if you take one metre, nine of them.
Yeah. Let's see some towers toppling.
First we're going to see Mad Rich Ken have a go.
That's Maddix, Ritchie and Kendall.
Build a topple, pop the yoghurt on top.
Build... Build a tower.
Build a topple. SHE LAUGHS
Ten's that way. You're aiming for the ten? Yeah.
Yeah, it's the highest number, isn't it?
On that board, yeah. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Not... There's other ones out there, aren't there? Yeah.
I think we'll try for six.
How high would that be? Really high.
Right.
It's quite a long distance, actually.
What number are you aiming for? Ten.
Shoop! SHE MAKES A SPATTERING NOISE
What's this? What do you think it is?
DRILL WHIRRS
Jamali, you look like you've got a plan. Yeah.
Have you got a plan? No.
Whoo! When do you think you might start building?
Look, mate.
You give me four hours to chop down a tree,
I'm going to spend three hours sharpening the blade.
That was cool. That was pretty cool, isn't it?
How am I going for time?
The time's going down.
No!
Is this part of the task?
How long have I got left? You've now got nine minutes.
30...
Oh, that's nowhere near close enough.
It's not as tall as you. No.
The cardboard's gone a bit wet because of the rain. Yeah.
This hasn't done anything. What's the point of that?
How long have I got? Five minutes. You're joking!
It's not good when you break down your life into sort of quantities,
you realise whether you've achieved something during that time or not.
You got that? Oh, yeah. Now lean it towards me.
Please.
Make sure you don't fall. Oh...!
Why did it fall down?
I don't think it was built very well.
So the idea is, three of them with that on top? Yeah.
Down we go. Bosh.
Ah.
You've got to hold it straight cos I'm going to...
I can't see anything.
I'm really starting to care about this now. How's that?
How are you going to get the yoghurt on it? Can we do a sort of lean?
OK. OK.
To me, to me. There we go.
Wow. Yes. A lot of building.
Erm... You got very philosophical, Sarah, with this... I did.
.."I'll spend three hours sharpening my blade" business.
Who said that? Abraham Lincoln, was it? I think so.
But interesting to have it contrasted
with the fact that you've never seen a drill before.
Yes, I know.
After you'd made your philosophical point
about the importance of preparation, I'm not sure what you did.
My anger got directed towards Alex during this task. Rightly.
You said, "Why has this happened?"
and he says, "I think it's because it wasn't built very well."
She didn't build it very well. Yeah.
I mean, I'm amazed you didn't attack him.
So, you know, you sit around at lunch time
and you have a nice chat with Alex at lunch and it's all friendly.
Yeah. Yeah, and then you go and film and you just get this little bitch.
Yeah. And it's just stunning.
Awful, hairy little bitch.
You must have found it, Jamali.
He corrected your manners. Did you notice?
He's a punk. I genuinely don't like him.
He's a punk-ass bitch. He's a punk-ass bitch, man.
But, er, I said it was cool when the plastic bits spun round and round.
Did you? We agreed on that, didn't we? Yeah.
It's pissing it down with rain
and we've got you muttering "please" under your breath.
It's nice to say please.
Charlotte. She tried to build a topple.
She did.
Because there's going to be topples on her programme.
I can't stop it. You give me reason.
I've honestly got nothing to say.
When you were envisaging your tower falling down you said, "Phoo! Splat."
And I'm trying to take her seriously as a grown woman.
Are you?
My feeling is that Jamali's is going to be the most effective.
We're looking for effective, we're looking for numbers.
Shall I show you Jamali's in action?
Hit me up. OK. It was one topple.
Here is Jamali's tower.
Do you want me to let go? Yeah, three, two, one.
HE LAUGHS Oh, shit!
I've got some on one. Yeah, most of it's in one.
It's quite wet now. Yeah. Can I go in now?
Yeah, you can go away now.
I was very supportive there.
What happened was it was raining
and it actually bent up all the cardboard,
so when it fell it all toppled in.
Plus it... I wasted everyone's time.
I appreciate that.
It looked like a good system to me. It was, it was just the rain and...
There were supporting rods. It was chucking it down with rain. Yeah.
Yeah, it's just someone should've checked the weather, then moved the event inside.
Yeah. That would've been... Just used their brains.
I think it would've made it a much more enjoyable and fair task.
But, you know - it's your show, mate.
Do you want to see Charlotte's tower? I do, yeah.
Can she beat Jamali's one? Let's see. Ooh, hope so. Wheeee!
OK. You ready? Yes. I'm gonna push it
in three, two, one.
Oh!
That's disappointing. Your tube went all the way over there. Yeah.
Well, there's some in three.
There's some in four! There is yoghurt in a lot of them.
Yeah.
Well, there we are. There we are. Thank you, Charlotte.
Thank you.
I mean, it's basically the equivalent of the, tablecloth trick, really, is what you did.
You whipped your own device out from underneath the yoghurt,
causing it to fall directly down.
Yeah, it's just a shame it didn't fall straight on Alex's head,
which was the trajectory it was going on.
Yeah, I-I... Maybe it's a physics thing that it didn't work out.
Next up, Greg, Sarah. Do you want to see Sarah's tower tumble?
Thank you. Here we go.
Are you ready? Yes. Good luck.
Good luck.
Oh, it's so close.
Oh! There's a bit of yoghurt in the number two.
Is there? Not a lot.
Hang on. Wait, wait, wait.
Is it yoghurt or is it poo?
It's yoghurt. Congratulations.
I probably should've used the, you know... SHE IMITATES A DRILL
You did what you did. Thank you, Sarah. OK. Thank you.
All right, I don't know what a drill is!
Don't know what a drill is! Let's get that clear.
You definitely don't know what one is.
Oh, well. Done. Maybe...
some of us didn't grow up around drills. You prick.
In fact I think that Sarah's tower blocked the yoghurt.
It was a bit of tower blockage. It's the next level. It was a bit.
Thank you. It was almost too well built. Yeah.
It's, it's almost like the woodcutter spent too long sharpening his axe.
That is the... That is the bit that they didn't write down.
After Abe Lincoln said I will spend three hours sharpening it,
but what you don't want to do is spend five hours sharpening the blade
for a three-hour chopping task.
Because then you'll get no yoghurt on your square. You don't get yoghurt in your square. Good.
Nice to see you taking a risk on blinding yourself
by eating bird poo.
Sayonara, part two.
It was a brief but powerful affair and I'll never forget you.
But you snore and I hate your parents.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Well, hello. It's Taskmaster again and it's part three.
I'm so buzzing I just need to get it all out of my system.
Argh!
That's better. Before the break they were trying to build a tower,
balance a yoghurt on top of it
and then topple it into a numbered square.
Generally speaking, the further the square, the higher the number
and the better the score, generally speaking.
The last couple we're going to see
are two pillars of the community, probably.
It's Mike and Lee.
One, two, three, four, five.
Yeah, so it's about four of these'll do it.
The problem is, how does it stay up?
Oh, this old chestnut. Here we go.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Sorry. I've never been very good at this.
I mean, that's ridiculous.
What's that for?
If anybody uses any of them they're an idiot.
Now, how far am I in so far?
You've spent three minutes making three boxes. Oh, right. OK.
Get the drill.
Ah!
All right, I've changed my mind. HE LAUGHS
Only a very sensible person would use these.
For the love of God.
Oh, for God's sake. I hate this.
Oh.
This looks extremely useful.
Oh, my gosh.
Abraham Lincoln said if I had four hours to chop down a tree
I'd spend the first three hours sharpening my axe
but the reality is if someone came to your house to chop a tree down
and then you said afterwards, "Sorry, mate, you only cut it down, took an hour."
"Yeah, but I spent the first three hours polishing my axe,"
you'd go mental. You'd go, "I'm not paying you for that."
Sort of prop that up in such way that I can hopefully reach it.
Don't worry about me, just worry about me structure.
Now, how do I get that more rigid?
You... You're wobbling a bit, Alex.
I think it might hit me on the head.
It's cardboard, mate. It's not, you know...
I mean, one job!
Obviously, I need to make this lower, don't I? One more. One more?
HE STRAINS
Uhhhh!
Uh, uh.
OK. And now for the raising of the ladder.
Up it goes. Up it goes.
Right, this is the hard bit cos I'm now balancing a yoghurt
on something that could topple at any second on its own.
How many yoghurts have you got? Just the one.
That's relaxing.
Oh! Hopla!
You've still got 45 seconds left. Oh, really?
OK. Got to be worth a try.
OK.
So, discovering the hidden ladder was
perhaps not as useful as you thought it was.
It made me arrogant and complacent.
I thought I had the keys to the kingdom.
All he had to do was turn the ladder upside down
and the yoghurt would've nestled into the foot of the ladder.
Pfft! And the ladder would've been high enough
but you created all this cardboard chaos at the top of the ladder. Mm.
If someone had gone through all of that trouble
and then got Alex embroiled in it
and then the yoghurt had fallen down my back,
I wouldn't have said, and I quote, "Hopla."
It's just what came out at the time, you know?
And it's a very polite, stark contrast to Lee Mack,
who increasingly, I think, is starting to look
like an angry Northern farmer.
The relationship between you and Alex is like, uh,
"What you doing there, lad?
"I wouldn't pay you with washers, lad."
Often followed with, "No, I bloody won't say please."
I enjoyed your slightly Northern interpretation
of the Lincoln axe story as well.
Yeah, I think we've been eating the same fortune cookies.
Can we see the eccentric English robot
and the angry Northern farmer? Yes.
Well, Mike and Lee both built massive towers,
the biggest towers,
but did the yoghurt go the furthest?
Let's see Mike first of all.
Are we still going? If we can.
OK. You good? Get yourself to a safe place.
Oh, no!
Oh, no. Oh!
Where's the yoghurt?
It went backwards. It did.
That was unexpected. That's your time up.
Thanks, Alex.
I appreciate... I mean, talk about defeat from the jaws of victory.
And I don't know anyone else in that situation
who wouldn't say, "Oh, shit!"
But Mike in the same space said, "Get yourself to safe space!"
I didn't want...
I didn't want to be the contestant who killed little Alex Horne.
Good legacy.
"Get yourself to a safe space." "Get yourself a safe space."
I had visions of him being completely skewered
by sort of bits of tent pole and cardboard tubes and yoghurt.
Fascinating. Let's see how Farmer Lee did.
Are you ready? Yeah. Let go, Alex, let go.
I'm toppling in three, two, one...
Bullshit!
That was so close to the six, if it had been to the right.
That is soul destroying.
I put so much effort into that.
Were you holding that when I let go?
I was holding it until you told me to stop.
And then did you in any way grab it? I didn't grab it.
That was going like that and something took it to the left.
I'm just going to check the numbers.
You don't have to check. You can see it's not gone anywhere near.
Don't do that. That's very irritating.
That's really disappointing. Yeah.
Well, a complete disaster
but at least a human response from you when it fell down.
You shouted bullshit.
Mike would've shouted, "Everybody clear the area. There might be spillage."
When Alex did do that,
I was tempted to tell him to get to a safe space.
I really was. I'm not surprised.
Because that was irritating.
I like that you blamed him, though, as any good farmer would. Yeah.
I really enjoyed it. It's one of my favourite tasks.
Well done, everyone. Well done. Well done for being so rubbish.
Lee and Mike were the only ones who didn't get any yoghurt in any of the squares.
Jamali, then, comes third, so gets three points.
Sarah next gets four points.
Charlotte, cos a tiny bit of yoghurt landed in number four,
incredibly gets five points.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I-I can't believe it.
Right.
I would love a task featuring a spinning camera, please.
Oh, thank God.
Whoa!
Hello. Hi, Mike. How are you?
You all right?
Right. Do like what I've bought? I love it.
It's, er, it's very nice.
It's, er, very hipster, very retro.
"Look the most different in four photos taken by the camera."
"The camera will spin round three times
"and take a picture every time it faces the frame."
"You must not hinder the camera or the spinning mechanism in any way."
"You must be in all four photos. Most varied set of photo wins."
Can I just read it one more time? Uh-huh. Thanks.
"The camera will start spinning in 20 minutes from now."
Do you mind if I, er, pop off for a tick?
Do you have a beard trimmer?
Oh, well.
This feels like it might be useful.
I don't know why I'm getting these.
Do you mind if I chop a thing up?
Oh, yeah. That's going to work.
How long have I got left?
Right, you ready? This won't stay on long. It's not very sticky.
WHISTLE BLOWS
Miaow.
Right. Is that it spinning now?
Miaow!
Yeah.
Oh! That's actually really tight.
Oh, my gosh! It's coming!
Oh!
Into the future.
Space man. Journey into the unknown.
This is me without glasses.
Is that in the centre?
Rrrugh!
Oh!
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Cool. Thank you, Jamali.
Thank you, Lee.
APPLAUSE
Would you like to see Lee's set of photos?
Yes. Let's see how varied they are. Yeah, so look at the contrast here.
A lot of different characters. LAUGHTER
This is various phases I've gone through over the years.
Do you want to talk us through who character two is,
with the melon breasts and the lobster penis?
Yes. That is, well, a character I called Melon Breast Lobster Penis.
Ah! Yeah. Likes to go on a bike ride.
Always delivering a romantic flower to his girlfriend.
And the girlfriend is the...? The girl... The girl underneath.
The sexy girl underneath. The girl underneath.
She doesn't go anywhere without her cow.
She rides round town on her cow.
She's like a sort of West Country Lady Godiva.
So, it's builder, superhero and a beautiful lady on a cow.
It's not a bad start. Quite contrasting. Quite varied.
Quite varied. Do you want to see Jamali's? Yes, please.
If we're talking about variety, have a look at this.
LAUGHTER
What I see is a builder, yeah?
And then I see three pictures of Jamali from a catalogue.
No, no, wrong. Completely wrong.
There's... You've got builder, then you've got a banker.
He's the guy with the stick and the top hat. Yeah.
Then you've got the banker off work, playing golf.
With the same stick.
And then you've got a guy who... I don't even know who that last one is.
At the time you said number two is a rich dude
and number three is a white dude.
Because he's playing golf. Yeah.
I have a very narrow view about what you people do.
"You people"?
OK, part three has expired.
We'll be back for the final part of the show
where someone will win Charlotte Ritchie's quaint little nose warmer.
That's right - it's a nose warmer.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Hello! Welcome back for the last time today.
What a great welcome back. Get yourself to a safe space.
Before the break the task we were watching involved
trying to look the most different
in each of the four photos taken by a spinning camera.
Each change in appearance had to take place
during a rotation of the camera - about 30 seconds.
Jamali's changes have been the most subtle so far.
Now we're going to have a look at Mikey-boy Woz's pictures.
LAUGHTER
There was a lot of miaowing during your preparation time.
Yeah, well, we want to get into character.
We wanted to sort of exude pussy cat. Sure.
Pussy cat on a brick wall. To his right we have noble Caesar.
What's the pink thing? The... The Roman, er, sceptre
and then there is a space man from the future.
Correct.
There's a man who's a skull from the neck up
and a body from the neck down,
giving a thumbs up with his remaining flesh. Yeah.
He's happy with his flayed head.
He's not happy about it but he's sanguine.
I think he realises that other people are worse off.
They're pretty contrasting images.
Shall I show you four versions of Charlotte? Yeah.
OK, well, here is Charlotte, Lottie, Charlie and Chaz.
LAUGHTER
Only two out of four go straight onto the children's show.
Mr Octopus and Potty-hands. Potty-hands!
Are you pleased? Yeah, I am, actually.
I mean, there's a bloody octopus there for God's sake.
How much of a contrast do I want? My whole, entire body's transformed.
Finally, it's the four faces of Sarah Kendall.
Hmm. Yeah, it's a real story. Real story.
I had no idea there was a narrative. Talk us through it.
Oh, well, the classic writer staring out a window...
Yeah. ..dreaming, er, "What am I going to write my story about?"
Sitting there for so long that, like, a century worth of hair growth just sitting there.
Er, after that, deciding on a career
as a professional tennis player.
My God.
And then, of course, all stories end in death, as we know.
This should help make your mind up. Where do you want to start?
I'm loath to do it but Jamali did put one costume on
and then had three pictures of himself taken.
So I'm giving him a very generous two points.
Sorry - two points? Yes, unbelievably, I am. OK.
Because I'm putting these two, Sarah and Lee,
I'm giving three points each.
What a generous man. Aren't I?
Boring t-shirt head girl, I'm giving her four points.
Mm-hmm. That's just what I look like in real life,
the boring t-shirt head girl. Just your clothes.
It's just me. Huge apologies.
And, yeah, this weirdo.
Michael takes five. Well done, Mike Wozniak.
Thank you.
Quick look at the scores.
She's almost on the maximum but she is the leader.
Charlotte Ritchie has 19 points.
APPLAUSE Wow! Feels good. Wow.
All right, everyone. Please make your way to the stage.
Why? Because it's the final task of the show.
Hello. I've got my bucket.
Good boy.
Who's going to read the task out?
Mike. Michael.
I like this already. Yeah.
"Shove your fish onto the target using your mop.
"You must shove your fish
"within ten seconds of Alex laying down your fish.
"Furthest from the target ten seconds after each round is eliminated.
"Last shover shoving wins."
If your fish falls off the Knappett at any point you're out.
Charlotte, you're up first.
Within ten seconds of me laying it down you may shove.
Off you go.
LAUGHTER She's gone mad.
Look at that. You've got to beat that.
Wow! Wow! Dear, oh, dear.
Erm, I quit. It's Mike to shove next.
Off you go, Mike. Let's play on.
It's a good shove. You next, Sarah. Oh, I'm next.
Sarah, please shove.
Ooh! Gentle. Jamali is next.
Yeah, can you like put it down, then leave quick?
LEE: Ha! I like Jamali.
Quickly get away. Quick, quick!
All right.
Lovely. It's passed Sarah's but will it stay?
Let's see. Good luck, Lee.
Oh, mine's... Mine's actually trying to get free.
Oh! LAUGHTER
He's having a nightmare! I've had a mare. He scooped.
I've had an absolute mare. He scooped.
WHISTLE BLOWS Are you ready for round two, Greg?
I very much am.
Yes, we've lost Charlotte Ritchie and Lee Mackerel, so it's time...
Nice(!) Oh, wow!
First in round two is Mike Wozniak.
Pike Wozniak, surely. Off he goes, Pike Wozniak.
Pike Wozniak!
0oh! Confident. Oh, it's similar, very similar.
Sarah, you're on blue, you're next.
It's down.
Ooh! Ooh!
Jamali could absolutely take everybody out here.
Jamali. It wouldn't be the first time he's done the unexpected.
Let's see what he's got.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Bold move.
WHISTLE BLOWS We've lost Jamali Maddix.
It was a tasty move. It was sick. It was a bold move.
It's the final, Greg.
I'm trying to think of a fish pun around Sarah's name but I can't do it.
No, I don't think there are any. So it's, er, Mike first.
Off you go.
Go on! Ooh, lovely.
Nearly a hopla.
The final shove. This is it, Sarah. This is for glory.
All right.
Oh! Oh!
ALEX: Three, four... Oh... No!
Five. No! EVERYONE GASPS AND GROANS
High drama! WHISTLE BLOWS
Heart breaking! APPLAUSE
Four, five... No!
Wow! That's just... That is cruel.
Right, let's add that to the final scores
and see how it's affected things.
Come on down.
Hello. Hi, Greg.
So. Mm. That was an exciting game.
Well, it started with tragedy and it ended with tragedy, like a good film.
It was very exciting.
Yeah, I agree it was really exciting, especially that final bit.
Oh, remember when the fish fell off the side? Oh, when it fell off?
So, Sarah does get four points despite the flapping thing.
Jamali three.
Charlotte and Lee both only get one point
because they were eliminated immediately
but the winner of that task was Mike Wozniak. Yeah.
Oh! Wow. With apologies.
It's fine, Mike. I like you a lot. Thank you.
I don't resent it at all. Ah, that's cute.
And that means he's shot up to second place
in both the episode and the series
but the winner of this episode with 20 points, it's Charlotte Ritchie.
Hurray! Oh, I can't believe it. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Charlotte Ritchie wins. Please go and nuzzle your natty knitwear.
WHOOPING
So what have we learned today?
We've learned that if you find yourself swimming in the ocean
I have two pieces of advice for you.
One, there's absolutely no fish that rhyme with Sarah Kendall.
And two, in the event of a shark attack,
just before you swim away, make sure you shout,
"Get yourself to a safe space!" at the top of your lungs.
See you next time for the final
but for now it's tonight's winner once more - Charlotte Ritchie!
