00:02Oh
00:34Oh
00:39I'm Greg Davis. Welcome to the Taskmaster Grand Final
00:48What a journey we've been on we've seen the full
00:52Smorgasbord of skills and intuition and a woman from the north looking baffled
00:57As we thunder into this final set of challenges the ultimate prize of my gilded nut could go to any
01:05of them
01:05Apart from two of them who definitely can't win because they've been rubbish
01:11So here they are please roar one last time for the phenomenal Joanne McNally
01:28And for us to start this series a man who I always associate the good night out because he looks
01:32like a giant revolving kebab
01:34That's a kid in bottom-set art has drawn a face on
01:46My special outfit for final so pretty cool genuinely all I want to do is wear these for the whole
01:53show
01:55Oh
01:55Well, I shan't be allowing the glasses to be worn for the final. I must wear them. No, I should
01:59wear them. No, I haven't trimmed them
02:00I mean to be fair. It's one of your better chances
02:13What is the final prize task of the series please Alex well Gregington bear?
02:18We're ending on something that could really make a difference to the world because you've asked them to bring in
02:21the thing that gives the most hope for the future of the human race
02:27Five points seems like a fair deal for the thing that gives the most hope for the future of the
02:31human race and at the end of the episode
02:32Well, we'll all have hope and perhaps that's all you can ask for in this life. I love you guys
02:40Right then
02:41Sophie
02:43Welcome to the final. What have you brought in right? So
02:47AI one day right you'll be able to
02:51Assess a body part
02:53Using your phones and stuff right right we'll be able to have a full medical dead quick with AI right
02:59and I thought that would be great
03:01Yeah, and I thought especially for you because of your life choices and everything that you get
03:06I'm carrying a couple of pounds. Yes, and you look knackered
03:12We've actually brought in oh, yes, this is to remind you that there is hope on the way. Yes, thank
03:17you a little robot
03:23Could save us and therefore this is not as per total shit
03:29I'll take it
03:31Thanks, so what I have brought is
03:36the concept of
03:38fate
03:41Because I think that nothing
03:44Should give more hope to the human race that no matter how much you might sort of screw up in
03:48life or on the show
03:51The fact that it might be written in the stars somehow I think of us a degree of comfort
03:56Do you know by that? Yes, largely to people who don't take responsibility for their own actions. Yes. Well to
04:02that end I have
04:04Made a prediction. Oh of my final score on this show. That's quite exciting
04:11So I have genuinely it's inside there. Yeah, okay
04:14I have written my final score of the whole series, right? I'll sign it on here
04:21Across the flat. You're watching Tassmaster on Final Four
04:25If you sign it over the seal as well, there's a Sharpie, you know that no one can get at
04:30it
04:30Great. Okay, and then if you just want to pop that under there
04:33I'll pop it under there. I will. And the proof will be at the end, but um, but yeah, fate
04:38I feel like I'm joking under his power
04:43The world's in a pretty scary place. I think we'd all agree that perhaps those in power don't represent us.
04:50Yeah, man
04:51I can see only one solution and that is Kathy Burke I
04:59Had the pleasure of meeting Kathy for the first time recently. She is kind funny
05:05Insightful wise and I just think if we were somehow able to put Kathy Burke in charge of everything and
05:12or clone her with permission
05:14Then it would mean an end to war inequality poverty. I just think she's got a lot of answers
05:21I
05:21Mean that is a lot of responsibility to put on the shoulders of the woman from Kevin and Perry go
05:27large
05:29She chose get your freak on on desert island discs, and that was my first time to my wedding, okay?
05:36That's reason alone to give her a low bar
05:40Big fan Joanne. Yeah, hello. I really thought about this and the future of the human race as much as
05:46I love man
05:47They are a big problem
05:49All the big all the big hitters all the big dictators all man. Yeah, I've referred constantly to myself as
05:55a basic bitch
05:56It's time to give the power to women like me. I present you with the basic bitch starter pack. Yeah,
06:02we've got
06:05Some cucumber eye sheets we've got a couple of cheapo scented candles from Primark
06:12Slippers a onesie because basic bitches like to be cozy. We like to relax
06:16Give more parts the basic bitches things would be a lot more chilled
06:25Makes sense Steve what have you brought us?
06:29I've brought something tonight that I don't think anyone's ever brought into Taskmaster before okay, and it's this here it
06:35is
06:37Nothing
06:39Existential crisis aren't you this is a statement nothing if you think about all the dreadful things
06:45We've been through recently sorry artificial intelligence brexit
06:50Cancel culture deathly pandemics yeah greenhouse gases hottest temperatures ever ice caps melting John Robbins probably winning Taskmaster
07:00These are the disasters of this
07:03And I think you know it Greg I do know and yet
07:09And yet
07:10And yet
07:11He's doing the Tony Blair fun point
07:15If there is a child watching this tonight
07:17Who looks up from their tick-tock or their memes just because of what I've just said and thinks why
07:23is the nice old vicar man saying the world's going to end?
07:26I've got to do something about that and they tell a friend and their friend tells a friend
07:30Suddenly you've got the start of a movement just because I chose to bring in nothing to Taskmaster and if
07:36you can support me on this Greg
07:38Then I think this could be the beginning of a real change society needs truth-tellers
07:44Emmeline Pankhurst
07:45Rosa Parks Malala
07:49Greg Davis
07:57I just want to take a moment if I may because it's the first time I'll be included in a
08:01sentence in the same company as Malala
08:06Right then Greg good luck
08:08Well John there's no slight on Kathy Burke I just haven't met her so I can't judge
08:13Kathy if you're watching sorry about this one point
08:17I mean it's difficult because Nick's magic trick hmm like at the moment is rubbish, but it might turn out
08:24to be amazing
08:25I'm giving him two points full stop end of but if he correctly predicts the score at the end. I'll
08:30give him a cash prize from my own
08:31A cash prize
08:32There we go
08:34300 pounds
08:35Whoo
08:37Do I have to donate it to charity?
08:39Nope
08:41Three points for the robot three to so because AI might well save us it might also destroy us
08:45Big problem
08:46I'm gonna give the concept of nothing even though it was one of the greatest performances
08:51I've ever seen just because of a basic bitch running the gaff is a bit more tangible
08:55I'll give her five points there
09:06Okay, well first up for the final we have pegs Greg pegs loads of pegs Greg and tasks Greg don't
09:12ask Greg
09:12But there's so many tasks Greg tasks and peg Greg let's go
09:15Let's go
09:31I'm
09:32I'm
09:33I'm
09:34I'm
09:41I'm
09:43No
09:43But there are tasks
09:45Is this a random choice of tasks whichever I want?
09:48Yes
09:48This guy
09:51You sure?
09:52Yeah
09:52No
09:54Oh God
09:56Find and complete the real task
09:58Each task
10:00Each task
10:01Has a 1% chance of being the real task
10:05Fastest wins
10:06Your time started when you opened your first task
10:12Lovely
10:14Well this is one of those tasks that we do from time to time
10:17I think there is a basic intelligence test
10:20Because there are two ways of approaching this
10:22It's to take a moment
10:23And to work out if there's a way of finding out what the real task is before you
10:29Maniacally rip all of those tasks off the washing line
10:32Should we crack on?
10:33Let's have a look
10:34Okay
10:35Sophie and Joanne are up first to find the real task
10:38Here we go
10:39There's no point me just pulling all these off
10:41Sure there's not
10:42Yeah
10:43But then I did think I was smart by pegging them all back in a lump
10:46Rather than individually
10:47And get it in to do it
10:48Yeah
10:48Yeah, of course
10:49Yeah, I had to help because it had taken so long
10:53Sophie, not for the first time you sounded like an Alan Bennett monologue
10:57It's a lesson for life
10:59Yeah, I've been baffled for a lot
11:01It's been horrific actually
11:03You weren't that baffled in this one Sophie
11:05You stepped back and saw the enormous arrow pointing at the shape
11:09Was the task in the shape for an arrow?
11:17I don't think you should be allowed to run the world
11:21You spotted it after two minutes, you pinned them all back up
11:23After three minutes 41 you completed the task
11:26And what was Joanne's time?
11:2820 minutes and 20 seconds
11:30Guess what?
11:31Yeah, sorry
11:32Here are some adverts
11:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
11:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
11:44Ho!
11:45Welcome back to part two of our final
11:48Where there are a lot of tasks hung up on a washing line to dry
11:51That's right, these guys had to find the real task
11:54And then do that task
11:55OK, we've seen Sophie and Joanne
11:56So it's only fair we now see Steve
11:58Nick
12:00And John
12:02Each task has a 1% chance
12:04But the H of chance is underlined
12:06Some of the letters are underlined, Alex
12:08It spells out H-E-D-S
12:11What does that mean?
12:14A-B-C-D-E
12:17In case that's the thing
12:20Find and complete the rib
12:21No, it's not that, is it?
12:23Is that an arrow?
12:26H-E-D-S
12:30Shed
12:32Fuck this, I'm going to shed
12:38OK, hang on
12:39An anagram of H
12:40Is that the only ones underlined?
12:42H-E
12:44And D
12:45And S
12:46Stead
12:47Is that an arrow, Alex?
12:50It's an arrow
12:52Shed
12:53Shed
12:57Shed
12:58This is a real task
12:59Peg all the tasks to the washing line
13:01Do it
13:03Ah, you suckers
13:05I didn't take any off, did I?
13:08I took two off
13:14I've stopped the clock, John
13:15Have I finished?
13:19I've stopped the clock
13:20There you go
13:22Is that good?
13:23Yeah
13:28Thank you
13:30Thank you
13:41Thank you
13:50Thank you
13:53Thank you
13:53It was Nick
13:53One minute 50 for you, Nick
13:55OK
13:55The others
13:57John, one minute 16
13:58Steve, 49.8 seconds
14:00Wow
14:02All three were very pleasing yourselves
14:04Oh, don't, don't, don't, don't
14:08Sophie
14:09Yeah?
14:09You're safe
14:10Great
14:10Oh, hello
14:12The rest of you
14:13The rest of you, watch this
14:14Remember, you did have to peg all the tasks to the washing line
14:19See you later
14:19Do you want me to pick that up?
14:20Yes, please
14:24All right
14:25Thank you
14:26OK
14:27Oh, lovely
14:29Goodbye, Nick
14:29See you later
14:40Joanne and Nick, you did not complete the task
14:44I don't think that's going to make a difference to my scores
14:46No
14:48Which means Nick and Joanne both don't get any points
14:50Three points to Sophie
14:51Four to John
14:52And five to Steve Pemberton
14:57Scoreboard, please
14:57Yes, and in the lead with nine, it's Steve Pemberton
15:02What's next for this big fancy final?
15:05OK, well, this task is all anyone ever wants, really
15:07A hug with an old friend
15:21You like these big Lawrence of Arabia opening approach shots, don't you?
15:27Yeah
15:27But the director's loving this
15:29I'm not in the right shoes for this set-up really
15:33Did it be a good day?
15:35Yeah, it was really good
15:35I was just riding a horse bear back there
15:40It's not QWERTY, it's not a keyboard layout
15:42And it's not in alphabetical order
15:44But there are also repeats of some letters
15:46Because there's two G...
15:47I should read the task
15:48Hug your special friend
15:51Hmm
15:52Hug your special friend
15:54Does that have to give you a hug?
15:56We are colleagues
15:56Oh, right, OK
15:57Every time you touch a letter
15:59You must turn it over
16:01And one minute will be added to your time
16:03Fastest wins
16:04Your time starts now
16:07It is on the vague side, Alex
16:14Special friend's quite a creepy thing to say
16:16Oh, is it?
16:17Shall I stop doing that?
16:19Yeah, there's been a few times during this series where I thought
16:21I don't know
16:22Keith's been spending a bit too much time on his own
16:26Let's start
16:26OK, now it's one for the bird watchers out there
16:28Hi, Dad
16:29Hi, Mum
16:29Look, it's a pair of J's
16:31Joanne and John
16:34Well, I guess I'm going to start turning over letters
16:37Sure
16:37All right
16:39I'm going to go J because that's my...
16:43Well, all right, that... OK
16:44Let's go, Zed
16:47Biscuit
16:47Are you hungry?
16:49No
16:49Really?
16:50Hug your spell...
16:51Oh, do I have to spell out hug?
16:53No, I'll spell out your name
16:54Is it Alex?
16:55That is my name
16:56Ah!
16:56What have you found?
16:58Your name
16:59You think?
17:00A string
17:03There's probably no strategy to this
17:05I'd say it's just a kind of like a free-for-all
17:07I get that vibe
17:09OK
17:11We've got a compass at least
17:16Oh, no
17:18Oh, no
17:19It's one of these
17:21So I've got to follow this in some direction from here, I would say
17:25So I reckon if I go in a circle at the end of this string
17:29I'm going to find a special friend
17:32Ow
17:34I'm in quite a lot of pain, Alex
17:36Would you like a biscuit?
17:37We'll mind some gloves
17:38Or just at least an eye on health and safety
17:43Hello? Hello?
17:58I think I've done the wrong thing
18:03Ah!
18:12250 degrees west
18:13That's 250 degrees west
18:15Is it?
18:16Yeah
18:17Unless your compass is wrong
18:18Which way is north, John?
18:23This compass is wrong
18:24Have you used a compass before?
18:27That's north
18:28Yeah
18:29Oh, fuck
18:37I've stopped the clock
18:38I remember him
18:40He's your special friend
18:42Ah, hello
18:43I've done it, Alex
18:44I've stopped the clock, John
18:46That was incredibly frustrating
18:48Yeah
18:49Nothing
18:49Bad
18:52Thanks, Joanne
18:52No worries, thank you
18:57Joanne
18:57Have you ever seen a walkie-talkie before?
19:01Because you looked at it with such childlike wonderment
19:04Was there something earlier in the series that I thought was a walkie-talkie but was a barbecue lighter?
19:08A barbecue lighter
19:10I'm not in the army, okay?
19:12I should have told you, she's not in the army
19:14Why didn't you tell me she's not in the army?
19:17I'm sorry
19:18He likes this very seriously, this show, he is a taskmaster nerd
19:22And I enjoyed it, you get angry
19:25It was 38 degrees when we filmed that
19:28And Alex kept asking me if I wanted a biscuit when I found biscuits under the letters
19:33I couldn't believe you didn't want a biscuit
19:34I didn't want a biscuit, Alex
19:35John's got no time for whimsy
19:37He wants to complete the task quickly and get the delicious points
19:40Yes
19:43Who's next?
19:44Next up, all the way from Fleetwood Mac
19:47It's Stephen Nicks attempts
19:50Stephen Nicks
19:51Who's my special friend?
19:53Is it one of the horses?
19:56I don't know what you do in your own time
19:58Right, well I would love to spell out the phrase, hug your special friend
20:01But scanning the letters, I'm not seeing the letter Y
20:04Um, I'm going to just start with an H
20:09Is this a time thing?
20:11Fastest wins
20:11Fastest wins, okay
20:13And one minute per letter turned over
20:15Per?
20:15One minute is
20:17Per letter turned over
20:18Yes
20:19Oh!
20:21Chocolate biscuit
20:22So it's somebody who likes chocolate biscuits
20:24Okay
20:25Or is it for me, his chocolate biscuit?
20:27For me?
20:28Oh
20:28Oh
20:30Hello
20:31Is that my special friend?
20:37Fastest wins, isn't it?
20:38Yeah, right
20:39I was aware, yeah
20:40Uh-huh
20:41Mum
20:43Mum
20:44Mum
20:50Oh
20:52250 degrees west
20:53I'm guessing I'm going to have to eventually turn all of these over
20:56So why am I messing around?
20:58Oh, some wool
20:59All right
21:00What's the task again?
21:01Every time we turn it over, you must turn it over
21:03And one minute will be added to your time
21:05Yeah, you've spent 48 minutes so far
21:09Oh, and fastest wins
21:13Right
21:16Mannequin
21:17Mannequin
21:18The mannequin is my special friend
21:20Uh, so north is that way
21:23Yeah, north that way, which way do you reckon west is?
21:25This way
21:26That's west
21:27I don't want to expend unnecessary energy
21:30Mmm
21:33Hello
21:34Over
21:35Maybe
21:36Is this a clue?
21:37Is this an arrow?
21:38The mannequin that's pointing up this way
21:40Oh
21:41There's something colourful
21:43Oh
21:44Aha
21:50You look like one of my characters from League of Gentlemen
21:52Oh
21:53Oh
21:54Oh
21:54Oh
21:55Oh
21:55Oh
21:55Oh, you're terrifying
22:00Oh, that wasn't too bad
22:01No?
22:02Yeah
22:03I think I did middling on that
22:05Hmm
22:06Well, you turned over 45 letters
22:13See, this is the difference between John and Nick
22:17Is that when you see a whimsical biscuit's been left undone
22:20Yes, yeah
22:21You think I'm prioritising this biscuit
22:23I think it was the biscuit that made me forget that you weren't meant to turn over many letters
22:27Cos as soon as I had that biscuit, I just started turning over as many as I could find
22:30Yeah
22:31The other difference is that Nick obviously did very badly
22:33Very pleased with himself
22:35I think that went quite well
22:37Steve, how'd you feel?
22:40Annoyed I didn't need the biscuit
22:41LAUGHTER
22:42Erm
22:43I was looking forward to finding a lovely word thing in the labyrinth of words
22:48Totally forgot the fact that each one was a minute
22:51Yeah, and then the greeting was, I mean, borderline orgasmic
22:56Had you forgotten there was someone inside your mannequin?
22:59I'd totally forgotten because it was weeks and weeks earlier
23:02So I screamed, didn't I?
23:04It was hilarious
23:05Yeah
23:07Good
23:07Now, I'm not one to make judgements
23:10And I'm always fast to apologise when I do
23:12But I predict Sophie's going to be shit at this
23:15OK
23:16Time for another ad break
23:17See you in a bit
23:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
23:31You join us for third quarter of our final
23:34And the completion of a task
23:35All about tracking down old friends
23:37Yes, old friends that they made for themselves
23:40Quite sad, really
23:41They've all managed to find and hug them so far
23:43But there is still one person left to go
23:47Will and Sophie be reunited with our old friend?
23:50Let's find out right now
23:51Right, OK
23:52Every time you touch a letter
23:55You must turn it over
23:57And one minute will be added to your time
23:59But I don't want to touch a letter then
24:01Fastest wins
24:02Is it a tree-hugging exercise, is it?
24:05That sort of thing
24:08The problem is you've got crew hiding in bushes, haven't you?
24:11It's quite daunting
24:13Hello?
24:16Hello?
24:18Hello?
