  • After nine episodes of tense, heated competition, it's time for the grand final! But which one of the five contestants will howl with triumph as they hold aloft Greg Davies' gold-sprayed head? That might depend on John Kearns finding a grape, Sarah Millican's scissors, and an accurate description of Dara O Briain's eye colour. The ever-helpful Alex Horne lifts a duck for Fern Brady and provides some moon boots for Munya Chawawa.

    In this Broadcast Award-winning, BAFTA and Emmy Award-nominated entertainment show, Taskmaster tyrant Greg Davies (Man Down, Cuckoo), with the help of his loyal assistant Alex Horne (The Horne Section and the show’s creator), sets out to test the wiles, wit and wisdom of five hyper-competitive comedians.
    Comedians that have risked life, limb, and dignity in the hope of making the Taskmaster proud so far include: Frank Skinner (The Frank Skinner Show), Mel Giedroyc (The Great British Bake Off), Romesh Ranganathan (Asian Provocateur), Hugh Dennis (Outnumbered), Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones’ Diary), Rose Matafeo (Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner 2018), and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour). Unaware of what awaits them in each wax-sealed envelope, only one competitor can become the victorious owner of His Royal Task-ness’ golden head and be crowned the next Taskmaster Champion.

    For anyone who doesn't listen to the podcast, my favorite bit of trivia about this episode is that the production team had an actor dressed up like a genie who was going to come out when John rubbed his magic lamp and help him with the task, but then John just hucked the lamp over the caravan without ever rubbing it so none of that got to happen. To be fair, if you went in with the assumption that summoning a genie wasn't an option, then throwing the lamp was probably the best choice.

      i would have definitely rubbed the lamp. especially when i said " magic lamp" and was in taskmaster. its definitely common sense to do that. i was disappointed when he threw that lamp without rubbing it even without knowing this trivia, but now it just hurts.
      But also i think even more highly and am impressed by the taskmaster team. That they really put in the effort to make this lamp "magical", just as john requested. Well done.

      @@thatoneguybrandon7 I stumbled at first, too, but I guess the resoning is this: Task 1 - throw one object over the caravan - done. Task 2 - fully cover one object with another object. Task 3 - get the covered object on the barrel without touching it with your hands. So until the object is fully covered, the "don't touch" does not apply (except for Fern all touched the objects to be covered before and while covering). And the beer isn't covered before Dara 2 hides it in his clothing - and only after that task 2 is completed and "don't touch" applies, which Dara didn't.
      Obviously it isn't helped by the fact that Dara apparently didn't understand the rules (he could have touched Dara 2 all he wanted but it was important to him that he never did), adding to the confusion.
      However, the easiest and safest way obviously would have been to just throw the beer over the caravan and then just let Dara 2 do all the stuff (pick up the beer, hide it on you, sit on barrel). This way getting two objects from the rusty barrels to the wooden barrel without touching either object, either barrel, or anything else to indirectly touch them.

    Confusing continuity error: Fern's nails keep changing during the part where they pick three things for the final task. At 9:19 they're painted black, then at 9:27 they're clean, then black again at 9:31. It's all ostensibly filmed in one moment, so that doesn't make any sense. The only explanation is that they filmed this sequence with her twice for some reason. Just something I noticed.

    • @Ulkomaalainen
      @Ulkomaalainen 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Strange indeed. Especially since the "clean nails" part was just "That ..." (referring to the taxidermy as it is told) - which isn't needed for the narrative at all. Also everything else is placed immaculately. My first idea would be a trick of the light, but it is too extreme to really be able to be that.
      Maybe she ordered one item that proved to be problematic for whatever reason, had to pick a different one (the pens - no way of knowing her nails there) and this "That ..." stayed in for some reason?

    How was Dara not disqualified for touching the COVERED item with his hands though?! He didn’t touch the covering item

      They're allowed to touch the covered item before it's covered, like Munya putting the knife in the vaseline or John picking up the burger to place in the cap. Dara, too, only touched the item before it was covered. Then he handed it to the person, who hid it in his coat and then sat on the barrel, so the item got covered and placed on the barrel without Dara having to touch anything.

    If you listened closely during the grape task, you could still hear the faint screams of David Correos.
