00:00I
00:16Know you
00:30Oh
00:35Thank you, I'm Greg Davis welcome to taskmaster dad is back and he's got five naughty children who need to sit on the naughty step
00:43Let's hope they behave themselves and do well in the task because Papa has big slippers that a hair triggers banking arm
00:51Oh
00:58Here we go, please welcome our five formidable fighters, they are
01:01I
01:19Sitting next to me a man who secretly confessed to me that he finds all women's sport slow boring and undignified
01:32I
01:35Thought we should go mad in the beginning and have a game of charades
01:38Yeah, yeah for that. Yep. Okay. Here we go. This is the only one. Oh, look. Hmm
01:44Okay, kind of beans. Yeah. Oh, look. There's Jack D
01:48But also watch this
01:53What is it
01:57They can say anything at all
02:02What Jack and the beans talk
02:11Right first price task of a series, what's the category Alex?
02:14I was shocked when you told me at Greg because it's the best thing that has been inside you
02:22My mom's watching this and I've been inside her
02:25Five points for the thing he thinks is best and at the end of the episode the overall winner will take home something that has
02:32Been inside each of the four people. They've been sitting next to and themselves yummy in my tummy your turn Andy Saltzman
02:39Yes
02:39What have you brought that's been inside you? Well, the best thing that's been inside me Greg is my lung
02:47Andy's lung
02:50Hmm
02:52Winner's gonna take home, but that's not Andy's lung is it because otherwise Andy would be dead
02:57Well, it's just gives me a great incentive to win this show. So I get them back at the end
03:03Have you had those lungs inside you? Yes, I have you have not
03:09You don't like it I don't like them no, they don't work within the limits of the task and they make me feel sick
03:16But what thing have you brought in that I might like that you've had inside you I bought something that you will definitely like it is
03:24Jamaican
03:25Oxtail, it's beautiful. I'm Nigerian, but I love Jamaican food. So that's what I brought and this is
03:31Some oxtail stew here. I'm not gonna lie
03:35That looks disgusting
03:38But I'm telling you it tastes delicious, you know, I'm saying has that been inside you yes same batch same batch
03:44I mean the idea of this that you bring slightly surprising things in Baba. You've just bought it the thing that you like to eat
03:52But it looks delicious apart from the sticks that have been thrown on
03:58What have you brought in that you might have had inside yourself or you have had inside so because it's the best thing that's been
04:05Inside you right? Yes, I have brought in my ex as
04:10represented by a USB stick
04:14I
04:18Loaded a huge amount of material about his life. It's a bloke and
04:24He is just a legend. It's the actual legend. Yeah. No, he's not an actual way. He's not King Arthur
04:36And have a good look and as a boyfriend what was his best quality just like nice to be around he dumped me
04:45Do you check you safely?
04:54Hello Jack, hello, you're right. Yes very well. Thank you Greg. Okay
05:00What have you had inside you I've brought in my well one of my favorite toothbrushes
05:06which I had I used I liked it so much I used it for several years and
05:12Thank you
05:14This one in 2012 and I used it until 2022 or something here it is
05:27It did this color over in the end when we told Jack about the competition
05:31You told him to bring it was to bring in a good prize, right?
05:34Not not to just clear out the shit from his garage
05:37Mr. Jones, what have you had inside you that you deemed appropriate to bring on the show?
05:44Oh
05:46So I have recently
05:50Started living on my own and I
05:55Love it. I am naked
05:59the whole time
06:02That means I get a lot of food on my body
06:09I
06:15Recently found out
06:18There's been a smell
06:23Coming from my belly
06:30The finger won't get
06:38I
06:42Can't get in really deep
06:46And I swear to God
06:49last week I got a little bit of umbilical cord
07:00How deep's your belly button?
07:09Who has brought in the word it's Baba or Andy, isn't it? Let's face it. Okay, so we're gonna give Zaltzman in this horrible
07:16Dung's one point. Okay, one time but two two to Baba
07:19Well, yeah, incredibly getting three points is a man who lazily grabbed an old toothbrush on his way to the show
07:27You know, it's such an appalling image. We'll give Rosie Jones five points on this
07:31There you go
07:35It's a very strong start right task one, let's get going. Okay, here we go, bro and hush your sweet sweet mouth
07:42I
08:05Sit here sorry. Yeah just in front of Greg
08:12I like Greg very serious. Well, it's just small more. I'm not gonna lie to you, bro
08:25Do not say any of this house
08:42Oh
09:13Do you want to explain this task a little bit not yet
09:19All right, who we're gonna see first we're gonna start with the guy people are already calling Andy Zaltzman
09:42I
09:44I
10:09Stop the clock could have gone with quesadilla. So it's an opportunity missed
10:15I
10:20What point during the filming process for this show Andy did you regret wearing full cricket whites
10:27I've never been in a situation in life where I haven't thought this would be better if I was in cricket whites
10:33So I'm no regrets. No. All right good. That's encouraging. Do you ever regret sitting in a big throne like that?
10:39No, it's not made the rest of your life seem mundane
10:45I mean, I suppose now you've said it. Yeah, I need it very well. He managed to succeed in 7 minutes 54
10:55Two more attempts now and a little bit more explanation from Bubba and Rosie
11:02Stare at camera number one for at least 30 seconds without smiling
11:14Oh
11:25Let's try you
11:31Eat an imaginary fly that has just landed on
11:45I
11:52Look under the 650 690 first letters of this task
12:05What lessons we got so far Rosie
12:08Hey
12:10The first one, what's the second one?
12:21You haven't quite finished the task
12:37Not that seal not that seal
12:41Me
12:51Say a word beginning with Q
12:55Your time started when you stared at the camera. Oh, yeah quiet. I've stopped the clock. That's it. That's it
13:04Let's see my name one. Yeah
13:11I'm so happy
13:20The seal misdirection, it's the sort of thing this little nerd loves to do
13:25How does it make you feel as a contestant at the time? I was like who's coming up with this nonsense?
13:30You don't say yeah. Yeah, I messed up. You've come to the right show to mess up
13:36Rosie I missed what you said your Achilles heel was is it not laughing like a town crier?
13:43Basically, I've always got to smile
13:47Come on, I don't smile
13:51people
13:52Think I'm dead
13:59Right, that's the end of part one. See you soon
14:05You
14:17We've begun with a silent task
14:19Keep it down big mouth. Yes
14:22Be more silent than others, but there's two people left to see Emma City and Jack D
14:31Attempted to smile at all Jack
14:35I
14:51See hey, are you getting the fourth letter?
15:05I said that's my count now. No, and I think it's gonna matter. It's gonna matter. Yeah
15:12Stop the clock
15:14What have you come up with?
15:15I mean the first one I thought I came up with seal did you and I thought that's got a nautical feel to it
15:21That does sound relevant. Yeah
15:23Look under the letters. Well, yeah
15:28It's not seal, well, I think it might be see you think it might be sealed
15:31So I look okay, so then I find a sea and look underneath
15:36That's a walrus. It's a shark. There's a seal sea lion really spitting hairs. Oh, okay. How about this seal?
15:46Okay, there was something written there
15:50Yeah, you ripped it quite hard there I didn't rip it quite hard
15:53What are you talking about? You were very rough with don't blame me for shoddy props. I just can't see if we've got another one
16:00Thanks
16:06Setting on fire
16:09That's pretty good faster
16:13Fastest good as new. Is there another one coming? Yeah. Yes. We're just really sticking it down. So don't slip
16:21What's the point of that? That's what's caused all this
16:31This is me being patient. Yeah, maybe this is how you should on the first one quick
16:44Well, I
16:46Mean first things first, let's start with the positives. Am I sure pretty efficient?
16:51Well, yeah, I would I'd argue boringly efficient. You looked under a seat. There was a bit of fun there. Thank you
16:57I'll tell you something else. Yeah, no one winks anymore
17:01And you did a lovely bawdy wink after it. I didn't mean it to be bawdy. I'm all meant like, you know
17:06We're all in this together. I don't mean sexually
17:15Well, okay full disclosure
17:18Within a couple of minutes. I could see what was going on here. I thought oh dear they've come up with a tough task
17:24Oh, yeah, and to get some mileage out of it. I'm gonna have to find some stuff here. I
17:31Should probably cross out what I wrote then. Um, what did you write?
17:34Well, I say this is a man of a similar vintage, but I wrote this all feels a bit granddad's not settled into his home
17:40yet
17:45Emma said the word quick after 3 minutes 58 Jack said the word quick after 41 seconds and 30 minutes
17:55I
17:57So I want to show you one more one more little extra bit of Jack. Yes. Oh, yeah this tickle me
18:01This is Jack earlier on in the task
18:05It's not my fault this is probably quite boring to watch oh, it's not boring, okay
18:12It's the first word beginning with Q that anyone said he said it after 3 minutes 32 seconds. So a bit quicker than Emma in the end
18:18Oh
18:22Even I say that's unfair, but I'll take it
18:29Sometimes the game can't be cruel Emma. Yeah
18:35So Baba was the slowest in the end 17 minutes 59 one point Baba then Rosie gets two points
18:40And he was the third slowest three points Emma gets four points, but Jackie wins the task and five points
18:49I'd love to see a scoreboard, please. All right. Well, there are joint leaders at this stage
18:54It is Jack and Emma on eight points. Here they are
19:01Another one, please. Yes, and we're off to a theme park
19:18I
19:23You standing like that bro, it's quite windy I've got a really bad feeling about this
19:29Have you been on any of the rides? No, I haven't because
19:33It's closed
19:43You must throw all five balls
19:48And pull one rope nice and hard
19:52You must stay on the spot at all times and you may not move the spot
19:59Closest to 100 cans wins your time starts now
20:12He's dressed as a sportsman, but can he sportsman it's Andy Zoltz man
20:16Exactly a hundred cans. How many cans are there? I mean, there's 200 200 cans, right?
20:31I think that's 70 cans down
20:36This is your sport
20:38Pressure is on here. Okay
20:40I
20:45Was hoping to get all them down in one go
20:52I'd say that was unlucky
21:00No
21:02For a team
21:10We've opened it I'm running out of balls
21:27I
21:29Was doing very well there. I'm very nearly stopped. That's the most disappointed. I've been in a long time
21:47And then well what I think is the Zoltzman equivalent of anarchy happened
21:51Yeah, that being you angrily throw your yoga ball to the left
21:56You know what what else to do with yoga balls I never really seen what they're for apart from hurling in a fit of rage
22:05There's some good news you miscounted the beginning you thought there were 200 cancer there were actually 160 cancer
22:11All right, you knocked over 104 cans
22:18Because I'm supposed to be good with numbers
22:22Yeah, yeah, there's no pleasing some people
22:26Good start who's next now? It's time for some classic R&B Rosie and Bubba
22:36Okay, well you might need more balls just throw it
22:55I
22:59Am very high on the sex
23:02Throwing in school
23:06I didn't do javelin
23:25Oh
23:40Keep falling just keep falling wait, I'm not done yet. I got this in it
23:47Oh
23:55If I keep going higher let's go low
24:02Alright big up big up later
24:04I
24:17Thought to count the cans before you started throwing yeah, that's gonna go for it
24:21You want me to stand there and be like one two three. I'm doing all of that
24:26No, I understand at school. You got out of most subjects by telling you were a comedian
24:31I'm not doing math. So I'm a comedian. That's it. He didn't learn throwing at school. He's a comedian
24:39Rosie there's some awful heartbreaking moments for you. I've never seen the phrase. Yeah, baby so close to the phrase
25:01Oh
25:04Winky's not in that you knocked over 47 cans Rosie Wow compared to Bubba's 32
25:15Right, we'll each have another break it's a chance for Alex to count all of his friends. Welcome back to
25:30Oh
25:35You join us for the third part of the show and some more throwing at the theme park
25:40Yes, these adults are trying to knock some cans over with some balls. And finally, uh-oh. It's Jack and Emma grouped together again
25:49Okay. So how many cans are there 17?
25:5321 so that's gonna be
25:56Yeah, I
25:59Can't be bothered
26:0140
26:0340 40 times 4 is 160 cans. There's a hundred and sixty there
26:15You just came into the ball, so they try and just get okay
26:29My dad played rugby for England
26:37Why she just come to daddy
26:50This one's pointless, but we'll try anyway
26:59How do you summon skills that you don't have it's actually so difficult
27:16So
27:20That's a disappointment, yeah
27:23Might be able to use this if I can hook them over
27:26and then
27:29All right
27:31I
27:44Know it's gonna miss
27:46I
27:56What I've written down is the juxtaposition of the sentence my dad's played rugby for England and
28:03The throes that we witnessed following that sentence sounds melodramatic. I think it might destroy your family
28:11In the series to say I don't have
28:17I
28:22She did not go over more than Bubba she knocked over 36, which is good Jack
28:27You've made a career out of not looking very happy. I've got a theory secretly you were loving that a panic cathartic. I suppose
28:35I would do that again. Actually, I wouldn't mind. Yeah, how many cans got knocked out at least they bothered to count
28:40Yes
28:41Well, I can tell you we know Bubba was 32 Emma 36 Rosie 47 Jack 68
28:47I
28:55Don't want to show you one extra replay though. Do you mind? Yeah. Okay. Here we go
29:09Nice pop of the legs. Oh
29:12That means that Andy doesn't get any points
29:15Oh Bubba goes up to 2.3 to Emma for to Rosie and Jack wins a task and five points
29:26Play me another task just for you some stunning soapy spheres
29:44Hijack hi. All right. Yes pop into the bubble
30:14You
30:24Have 20 minutes
30:25Your time starts when you haven't said a word beginning with B for five seconds, right?
30:31So I've got if I want to buy time, I've got to keep babbling on babble asleep
30:36Yeah, your time started now Jack if your time has now started your time was started
30:40I've had to say a word like that in the time your time has started. It's just now
30:45Yes, because you didn't say a word beginning would be for five seconds
30:50Not in sir
30:53To get some soap and make some bubbles come on

31:01That is beautiful
31:04You

34:07I know I know and they never get anything as they were saying to me earlier
34:11They don't you know, why why because Alex, you know, he calls them behind their back
34:15Oh, he calls them the faceless facilitators of his genius
34:22It was nice to see them briefly happy and when I left they just said Jack, thank you
34:26I
34:37Was pleased with it because you know honoring my new baby girl and yeah, that was genuinely sweet
34:44That's all can we have a look at the painting of his daughter?

36:30For the taskmaster. It's a pity. I mean Alex
36:46Don't actually have anything negative to say we are all bubbles waiting to burst. Yeah
36:51Well, it's exploration of the sort of fragility that this show too often shies away from and yes, it was excellent
36:58Thank you time for the final break of the night
37:01Who will not only win the episode but also take home a lung and Jack D's ranted old toothbrush. What an adrenaline rush
37:08I feel like I'm tripping in Woodstock, man
37:11See you soon
37:16You
37:23Welcome back to the final part of this new series who's next in line to do something beautiful with bubbles Alex
37:29Oh a top-notch question Greg and a lovely voice
37:33It's Rosie and Siddy Jones and Emma
37:36Oh
38:00Greg Oh
38:02Greg I am doing the most beautiful thing with bubbles
38:07beautiful, babe having a bubble birth I
38:13Am here to grant your
38:18free
38:19wishes
38:21But don't tell me that
38:25Cuz I know them already
38:36I
38:47You want
38:55You like
39:01Hey
39:03Hey, I can't read a bubble
39:06How much more more
39:11More
39:21You want the bubble gum dance
39:36I
39:40Can't blow bubbles on us so much
39:51And now I live
39:54I
40:05Think what we have to the three of us have to talk about is your understanding of the word beautiful
40:17Do you
40:20Oh
40:22No, they're not beautiful in life then from the bubblegum fairy
40:36Well, I'm not going to comment on your personal beauty because I'm looking only at the character
40:43Personally I
40:46Found the bubblegum fairy to be quite irritating
40:52Let's talk about your beauty. Yes when you started erotically eating the chocolate I think you just
41:00looked hammered
41:05I'm very flattered to be offered a bath with a lady, but I would prefer if she hadn't been out for 12
41:12I think beauty's in the eye of the beholder. Yes, and I'm the beholder
41:25What Emma or the bubblegum
41:30Hundred times over
41:33Sorry, bitch
41:41Go on a break. Well, who do you think's gonna get one point?
41:49Yeah, I mean it's the chocolate company woman of nondescript nationality hadn't been so drunk
41:55She might have got more than two points to do Emma got it
41:59I think the sentiment of sharing bubbles with a largely ignored and often much derided crew
42:07With him. It's quite beautiful and deserves three points three points for Jack. You got it
42:12I'm gonna give Baba's beautiful daughter four points thought got it
42:15We must recognize artistic genius when we see it and Andy gets five. Okay
42:22Please make your way to the stage for your first final task of the show
42:29I
42:39Hope you'll include a wink in this read
42:47Drink the vinegar
42:50On your turn you can either drink from one straw or not drink at all and get a clue from Alex instead
42:57You must stand on the spot when choosing your straw and you must never stray from the spot, okay
43:05The vinegar drinker wins, there's five points at stake here. No one else will get any points at all Greg Wow
43:10They can choose to either
43:12Tell me which number they're gonna drink from and then drink from it
43:14Yeah, or they can get a clue from me the clue refers to the numbers in front of the straws up you come Rosie
43:27Drink or get a clue
43:32Okay, which number you're gonna drink from hey off you go down and
43:38This is a good boy into happen
43:51Have you drunk vinegar
43:57Okay
