[00:01:45]Poor things.

[00:01:48]They should, on the whole, be very proud of themselves. Before too long, one of them will take home the whole reason for being here, me, in hedge form.

[00:02:18]AND FOR THE LAST TIME THIS SERIES, who's on my left? IT'S LITTLE ALEX HORNE.

[00:02:30]HOW ARE YOU, YOU IRRITATING little chicken?

[00:02:35]Good. Excited about the final. Yeah. I thought I could I could try an anecdote for the first time. Oh, that'd be nice.

[00:02:41]Recently, Yeah.

[00:02:42]>> Mhm. I had a close shave cuz I was quite naughty, which I know you don't like.

[00:02:45]And then I had to have a taste of my own medicine, but it was fine because it was my own medicine and it was penicillin. I quite like penicillin. THAT'S MY ANECDOTE.

[00:03:00]GLAD I GOT THAT OFF MY CHEST. LET'S START the show properly. What's the final prize category?

[00:03:06]>> I'm so sorry. It's a big one. It's a big one. It's big this time we've asked them to bring in for the prize the most cash.

[00:03:14]Oh.

[00:03:17]Here we go. This one was a weird one. I almost forfeited this one. I'm like, let's just forfeit this one. This is a weird one. You'll rob a bank for a cash prize.

[00:03:25]>> in the first five points of the show, whoever wins the episode will bring home the bacon as in all the cash, okay?

[00:03:32]Yeah.

[00:03:33]All right. Do we Do we guess on this one?

[00:03:36]Yeah.

[00:03:37]So, who's going to bring the most cash in?

[00:03:40]Man, Noel's got some flashy gear on today.

[00:03:44]But Joe does have his star jacket. Gosh dang it. I don't Oh, this one's so weird. I'm doing it.

[00:03:51]Me, too.

[00:03:53]Hold it up in the right spot. This is the Yeah, I need to hold it. This is perfect size. Okay. This is no longer Mike. It is my face. Joe, huh? Money bags Joe.

[00:04:04]I'm going Noel. Hey, but could be a good nickname for him. But I thought Hugh Noel I'm presuming that you are ludicrously rich. So you will have bought a faster maker car.

[00:04:15]>> I have brought with me 2 million Vietnamese dong.

[00:04:23]We can see Hugh's dong. There it is.

[00:04:26]How lovely to see your dong blown up on the How much is a huge dong's worth? Well, there's 2 million dong there. It's worth 72 pounds 20. Ah.

[00:04:38]72 pounds. Thanks Hugh for securing last place.

[00:04:44]You want to eat pounds?

[00:04:46]I have brought in 250 English sterling pounds.

[00:04:55]Simple as that? Not as simple as that.

[00:04:58]It is in pennies.

[00:05:04]Thanks guys. You guys have been great guys. I don't know.

[00:05:07]We got rid of our pennies, man. Have you seen any pennies? I need some, please.

[00:05:11]>> This definitely would be worth a lot right now. Well, I don't know. Depending on where you're asking.

[00:05:17]>> been long enough, but still >> them anymore, so they are going to be eventually rare, but I just miss the penny. It weighs It weighs 8 to 9 kilograms.

[00:05:27]No way.

[00:05:29]Well done. You know, I mean It's a lot of cash.

[00:05:32]>> That's 250 pounds. Noel. What I was thinking was why don't I invent my own currency? So I've invented the Noel and I spent a long time painting it. Yeah.

[00:05:45]Oh, wow.

[00:05:48]He's so awesome.

[00:05:49]Okay. I think I've nailed Alex. When he's talking about notes, so that's what I've always considered cash.

[00:05:54]>> That's what I thought. The money, like the paper stuff. Joe with the coins. I I mean, me personally, I could have it wrong, but tell me.

[00:06:02]>> I've I've always considered cash to be notes.

[00:06:05]>> Yep. To be dollar dollar bills, y'all.

[00:06:11]>> That's awesome. I think I have nailed Alex. Yeah. I've given Greg too much neck. Sorry.

[00:06:19]But how much is it worth? Can you put a price on how happy we are? And massaging how you guys make us feel good about ourselves. We've both got crushingly low self-esteem. HAVEN'T YOU?

[00:06:32]MEL, COME ON.

[00:06:34]I'M PART OF A SORT OF poker circle uh with Mary Berry, Yeah.

[00:06:41]Judith Charmers, Charmers? Rippon, Angela. Oh, Rippon's a nasty piece of work.

[00:06:46]>> Yeah. Who always carries a blade.

[00:06:48]>> Exactly.

[00:06:50]We're having a a very intense poker circle night. Yeah. I came away with nearly a million pounds of the realm.

[00:06:59]Check it out, gang. Mhm. It's for real.

[00:07:01]What? Yeah. A million pounds?

[00:07:03]>> Nearly a million. Genuine?

[00:07:05]Well, the yeah, the top layer is genuine, yeah. It's yeah.

[00:07:10]And the cash.

[00:07:10]>> And then underneath that, there is Monopoly money.

[00:07:15]But it is genuinely 987,000 pounds of Monopoly money.

[00:07:19]>> Exactly.

[00:07:19]>> It's 48 board games worth.

[00:07:21]>> There was also 250 pounds on top.

[00:07:23]>> pounds on the top. 240 on top.

[00:07:25]>> 240 on top. Real money.

[00:07:27]>> just below Joe Lycett's coppers. And if she hadn't spent all the money on the Monopoly boards, well, she spent 815 pounds 12 pence on the Monopoly set.

[00:07:36]WHAT?

[00:07:41]MONOPOLY MONEY'S NOT EVEN MONOPOLY money anymore.

[00:07:46]What the hell?

[00:07:47]>> I'm sure there's a site that you could have gone to to just buy the Monopoly money itself. There's like replacement Monopoly money somewhere where you don't have to just buy the board games. What are you doing with all those board games and no money? Dude, just that's ridiculous. We don't have pennies anymore and you can actually have a suitcase that can only hold less than a thousand pounds of Monopoly money. Couldn't even fit more in there. Should be able to fit millions upon millions in a anyways.

[00:08:25]millions So, what I've done is I've brought in a blank check and I'm just going to put 1p more than whoever is in the lead.

[00:08:33]I'm just just waiting. That's a check.

[00:08:36]Okay.

[00:08:37]That's risky.

[00:08:38]That's risky. What have you got, Lolly?

[00:08:40]Oh, yes. What cash have you got? Well, I'm sitting on 2,000 pounds.

[00:08:47]What do you mean? In cash. Why did you not BRING THAT?

[00:08:51]I JUST thought just have a backup. So, I I BET HEY. NO WAY. HEY, but you asked is she good for it? That's showing she's good for it up until a point that beats everybody up there with they brought.

[00:09:07]Still beats everybody just 2,000 pounds.

[00:09:09]>> Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:09:11]Is he going to take it?

[00:09:15]Wow, I THINK LOLLY WON.

[00:09:23]MONEY BAGS, LOLLY.

[00:09:24]>> YOU MAKE YOUR MIND UP? YEAH. All good?

[00:09:27]First place. Well, this is going to be a big surprise to you, ding dong.

[00:09:33]Aw.

[00:09:35]Mel, I'm really sorry, but you come in fourth place cuz it's not real money.

[00:09:39]Noel, I'm putting you in third place.

[00:09:40]It's brilliant, but it's not legal tender. Joe, second. It's the second most cash. This is the most cash. Lolly is the winner.

[00:09:48]All right.

[00:09:49]Okay, so I get four points? Yeah.

[00:09:51]Yeah.

[00:09:53]And now we get to show ours. Okay. And since we're literally they all brought things that equated to pounds.

[00:10:02]Uh dude, I'm in last, but anyways, I think I get some extra credit. I'm an American and I've got actual real pounds here, ladies and gentlemen. We're talking 20, we're talking 40, we're talking 50, we're talking 60 pounds, okay, of cold hard cash. I was actually thinking about the term cold hard cash. Coins are cold and hard. Yeah. So, that would be the cold hard cash. Yeah. So, Joe brought some cold hard cash.

[00:10:33]>> Well, yeah, we were talking about earlier the cold hard cash kind of thing throws our logic out the window.

[00:10:39]Anyways, 60 pounds, that's what I brought. That's the most cash I have. I love it. I love it. It's actually underneath everyone's balance because even Hugh's dong it was 70 something What about Hugh's dong? I don't listen well when you talk.

[00:10:59]So, this is my cash. This is the most cash that I have and it's a Johnny Cash picture.

[00:11:05]Elvis Presley, uh Believe it or not. The most cash thing ever. Wow.

[00:11:12]Wow, I actually paid more for that than I than 60 pounds, so.

[00:11:16]>> So, it's worth more cash, so that is cash that's worth more cash.

[00:11:21]>> I'm feeding into your thing, okay? All right, anyways.

[00:11:26]Okay, so the first of this first task, shall I update you on the series scoreboard? Okay, Alex.

[00:11:31]>> Okay, so in fifth place Mel Giedroyc, Lolly's off. Last place for the first time in >> Yeah.

[00:11:41]Here goes Mel on 115, Hugh and Lolly on 117, Joe on 124, and Noel on 127. It's close.

[00:11:50]Very close.

[00:11:52]Noel can win it.

[00:11:54]Yeah, next series we're going to have to start keeping track like this. And it'll be fun to keep track across the series. I don't know if I can do maths that well. Okay, that's all That's a big ask. It's a whole separate thing. Like I'm going to have to write down each task and then but also keep track of who's won everything. Yeah.

[00:12:12]That's true.

[00:12:12]>> Or could we just write it down when they show it? Cuz they could show it and be like, "Oh, they have it." And then just add it as we go.

[00:12:17]>> yeah, it's not that difficult. I was just joking. We'll be all right. We'll survive. It's lunchtime.

[00:12:29]Oh, that's cool. I like that.

[00:12:33]I've seen an hourglass. Now that's exciting.

[00:12:37]Ah. It's a hard you just don't understand fashion.

[00:12:43]Ready for the party.

[00:12:47]Make the most exotic sandwich. You have 10 minutes to plan your exotic sandwich, then 10 minutes to construct it. Your time starts now.

[00:12:58]Right.

[00:12:59]Okay.

[00:13:01]What do you think exotic means?

[00:13:03]That to me says maybe fillings that have never been seen in a sandwich. Okay.

[00:13:09]We'll get back to you in a moment, Mel.

[00:13:11]Okay? Gosh dang it. Why do you really really you think Mel of all people you don't spoil it so you showed your cards.

[00:13:19]You think she knows an exotic sandwich?

[00:13:21]>> I know that she knows what exotic means and Hugh definitely worried me when his first question was what is exotic? I would definitely If anybody chose you, they're not paying attention.

[00:13:33]But I know I just chose him. I'm going to go Noel for a second time in a row.

[00:13:39]Noel >> chose him.

[00:13:40]Um yeah. Last thing is >> Okay, Noel. Oh, you just >> Say what I would like, please.

[00:13:45]>> I get what you're saying. Oh, we got to get back to Mel.

[00:13:48]Skip back. I interrupted her, dang it.

[00:13:53]What do you think exotic means?

[00:13:55]Back to me says maybe fillings I've never been seen in a sandwich before.

[00:14:00]Um Okay.

[00:14:04]So, what I would like, please, is some Moroccan flatbread. Turkish delight.

[00:14:11]That's very exotic.

[00:14:12]Get me some wholemeal bread and maybe some pitta bread as well. Wholemeal though, I'm not an idiot.

[00:14:18]I need a kumquat.

[00:14:20]Greggs sausage roll.

[00:14:23]Kiwi fruit.

[00:14:25]Let's go all sweet.

[00:14:27]Heck. Everyone's going to go savory, aren't they?

[00:14:30]Some smoked trout.

[00:14:32]Then a Crunchy bar, then a Kit Kat, then a Double Decker. Oh, yum. No.

[00:14:39]Tequila. Some tequila.

[00:14:42]What kind of tequila?

[00:14:44]>> Uh croissants.

[00:14:45]>> Okay, I'll go shopping. Okay. Shall I come with you? No, thank you. Do you need money? No. Okay. Bye Felicia. See you later.

[00:14:57]All right, I'm confident in my decision right now. She said Kit Kat. The moment that Mel said Kit Kat, were you out?

[00:15:04]Yeah, I was out. Just the whole sweet sandwich. You don't You don't do that to a sandwich. I don't think sandwiches should be sweet. That is my opinion.

[00:15:13]>> a fluffernutter the fan of the fluffernutter. We we've Americans we've popularized that. But to go on to my point, a fluffernutter >> has peanut butter. Peanut butter is a savory-ish. Like some peanut butter can be sweet.

[00:15:26]>> peanut butter. They add so much sugar to that [ __ ] >> They do, but I'm just saying it's to me peanuts are savory. So it's a little bit of savory in that sandwich. So I could take that. Okay. And you have peanut butter?

[00:15:38]Different.

[00:15:41]I want to start with Mel. She looked very excited and I'm keen to see her sandwich.

[00:15:46]>> Yeah. Okay. She didn't say what she started. He wanted to blow the Taskmaster's tiny mind. HERE WE GO.

[00:15:55]THIS IS SO GOOD. RIGHT.

[00:15:57]>> Oh my god. A couple of chocolate orange slices. I love those.

[00:16:01]Little breadstick.

[00:16:03]Okay.

[00:16:03]>> Double deckers. Okay. Oh my lord. Full of the crunchy. All right.

[00:16:08]Three minutes. Three minutes? What?

[00:16:12]Let's do some M&M's. Now, see sandwiches like this really, really get on my nerves now.

[00:16:16]>> It's a cake. It's not a sandwich. It's just a cake dressed up.

[00:16:20]>> These cookery shows.

[00:16:21]This is absolutely appallingly stressful.

[00:16:26]Just melting up the marshmallows. Okay.

[00:16:30]Getting a little toasty in here.

[00:16:31]>> is like a a sort of Japanese pagoda.

[00:16:35]Can I give you this as well, Mel? Yes.

[00:16:37]To say thank you. Is that for me? Yes.

[00:16:39]Thank you.

[00:16:44]Eat your exotic sandwich fastest wins.

[00:16:49]Is he filtered? I'M SO HIGH.

[00:16:54]NO.

[00:16:56]MY GOD.

[00:16:58]ARE YOU JOKING RIGHT NOW? Look at her face. Her sandwich >> has so much on it. I love this so much.

[00:17:05]And you don't expect this.

[00:17:07]>> like this. There was this restaurant I used to work for that had the Mike's BLT. It was something else, some other name. Mike something BLT. Thing was like this big. I'm like making it pissed me off.

[00:17:20]Eating it would piss me off. I'm like, why? You can't open your mouth that big and just separate IT ANYWAY.

[00:17:28]SHE DID ALL THAT WORK. OH MY GOD, I feel for her.

[00:17:32]Time on please, now.

[00:17:33]Oh, no.

[00:17:37]What's the time start now? Time starts now. Okay.

[00:17:40]I fell for it.

[00:17:41]>> Oh, gang.

[00:17:46]Oh my god.

[00:17:48]Yeah, smash it as far as you can. Do it.

[00:17:51]Just smash it.

[00:17:56]So much bread. You're not going to be able to get through that.

[00:18:02]You're going to die if you eat that, literally.

[00:18:08]How long on this now?

[00:18:11]What's the time on this now?

[00:18:12]Listen.

[00:18:17]What's my name?

[00:18:24]I'm about to eat it. I can't do any more than that. Stop. Stop.

[00:18:29]OH MY GOD.

[00:18:37]WHAT DOES THE SANDWICH NOT SAY?

[00:18:40]OH, [ __ ] M&M'S.

[00:18:41]>> Only blue ones. Only blue ones. Only blue ones. Is it exotic, that sandwich?

[00:18:46]Sort of.

[00:18:47]I mean, it's instant diabetes, isn't it?

[00:18:50]I suppose so. It was uh Turkish Delight, crunchy Kit Kat, double decker Twix, Snickers M&M's, icing sugar, marshmallows, chocolate eggs, chocolate oranges, Nutella, and a blowtorch. I suppose it's sort of It's sort of exotic.

[00:19:00]>> So, you're going to judge the most exotic, and I'll tell you it was meant to be who can eat their sandwich the fastest. I can reveal nobody finished their sandwich.

[00:19:08]Don't. I'm not surprised.

[00:19:10]>> most of their sandwich. You ate four good size bites, uh essentially one double decker and you inhaled the M&M.

[00:19:17]It's got to be a bonus in a nasal M&M, isn't it? Always.

[00:19:21]I'm pressing pause with one of my massive thumbs. Come back to us soon to see celebrities eating things.

[00:19:29]If nobody made a good sandwich, I don't care what if it's exotic or not. I'm not making food that I would not enjoy for myself. That is the number one goal.

[00:19:38]>> should be the number one goal for sure.

[00:19:41]>> absurd. Nobody finished their sandwich.

[00:19:42]>> They just made them so gargantuous. Like they probably made huge sandwiches with lots of stuff on them. Yeah, we'll see.

[00:19:49]That's >> It's hard to eat all of that.

[00:19:51]That's probably right.

[00:19:57]Hello!

[00:19:58]Welcome back to the final of Taskmaster.

[00:20:00]What was going down, Alex? Well, bits of sandwich were going down, Greg. They've been making exotic sandwiches with exotic ingredients. But, we've recently found out from Mel there was a dramatic second part to the task. Okay, here are huge Lolly, the savory sandwich makers. It's sandwich time.

[00:20:23]I would have had no meat there.

[00:20:27]I want a sandwich now, man. These shows always make me so hungry.

[00:20:31]With the lamb and the sauce.

[00:20:34]salmon I mean, ideally the ham would have been cooked.

[00:20:38]But, luckily Was that shrimp and grapefruit?

[00:20:43]You don't need much tequila.

[00:20:46]Oh, no. No, no, no, no.

[00:20:49]Lolly, lolly, lolly. No, ma'am.

[00:20:52]No, ma'am.

[00:20:55]Oh.

[00:20:57]That's all smoked trout. Oh my god.

[00:21:03]What?

[00:21:05]That's pretty fancy looking, actually.

[00:21:07]None of this. None of it. I do not I will talk to you as well. Thank you.

[00:21:11]Thank you so much. Thank you.

[00:21:22]No.

[00:21:23]What's it say, Lloyd?

[00:21:26]It says eat your exotic sandwich.

[00:21:32]That's such a good That's what it says your time starts now. You did the [ __ ] hot dog.

[00:21:39]No, like some of those Bloody Mary's you see.

[00:21:42]>> Yeah, right. Where they just top it with everything. They have sliders, you can have bacon, crab legs on the side.

[00:21:48]>> My younger sister came over one night and I just she took me down this rabbit hole of the most crazy ridiculous Bloody Mary's you've ever seen.

[00:21:56]>> Yeah, they put I highly recommend going down that rabbit hole. I was dying laughing with some of the [ __ ] Whole rotisserie chickens with a cheeseburger >> Yeah.

[00:22:06]Side fries on the side, you know. with this much Bloody Mary. I'm like, what the is happening? Beautiful.

[00:22:13]Wow.

[00:22:15]There we go.

[00:22:21]She might put the hot dog first.

[00:22:22]Delicious?

[00:22:23]It's delicious, okay. See, that's what you don't want to see.

[00:22:29]Grapefruit and shrimp, I guess.

[00:22:32]Stuck in this pocket.

[00:22:35]Think I'm done now.

[00:22:37]Yeah. Got the clock?

[00:22:39]Mhm, that's how you eat it. Are you finished, mate? Mhm, that's how you finish it.

[00:22:44]All gone.

[00:22:45]Do you think the taskmaster thinks you've eaten the sandwich?

[00:22:47]I'm not sure if he's ever had a Mother's Delight, so if he wants to argue that that's not finished, then that's up to him, isn't it?

[00:22:59]That was like one of my favorite tasks.

[00:23:03]Sure. We have Your sandwich that amongst other ingredients had an Arctic roll and some trout.

[00:23:12]Why was that called a mother's delight?

[00:23:14]Cuz Alex asked me what it was called and I in a panic said mother's delight.

[00:23:20]How were the corners of your mother's delight? [ __ ] horrible.

[00:23:25]Lolly, mainly prawns and frankfurters.

[00:23:28]Mainly.

[00:23:30]I actually quite liked mine. Yeah, you ate FOR 6 MINUTES.

[00:23:40]AND THEN TWO OF YOU. I THINK Lolly's laugh when she just busts up and she it's so like Ali where her eyes turn into little half moons. She has one of the best crack-up faces ever.

[00:23:54]And then two of you.

[00:23:56]Two of you. An infectious crack-up face.

[00:23:58]>> divided it into two different sides of the sandwich. Right. So, the first half of the sandwich was I believe >> I can tell you who ate sashimi, halloumi, wasabi peas, Parma ham and Moroccan flatbread. It was delicious.

[00:24:12]>> It just sounds like something I'd buy at Marks and Spencer's.

[00:24:16]What [ __ ] Marks and Spencer's do you go to?

[00:24:21]You can't get anything like that in Marks and Spencer's. I'm fine. I'm not used to someone raising their voice like that.

[00:24:26]Amazing. Just to jump on him like a puma.

[00:24:30]Like a puma.

[00:24:32]And he probably did eat pretty much I mean he tucked some away, threw some away, but he ate more than anyone else cuz Of course he did cuz it was just A NORMAL SANDWICH.

[00:24:41]ONE PERSON LEFT. THIS IS NOEL Fielding's exotic sandwich.

[00:24:44]>> What? Oh, come on. Come on. Come on.

[00:24:46]Noel Fielding's exotic sandwich.

[00:24:48]>> He said one person left and I thought he was saying one one person like left the challenge. I thought he was going I'm done. He won.

[00:24:57]Oh, man. This is This has been the best challenge, I think. This is good. on that. So, I thought maybe an exotic dance sandwich. So, I'll have to attach some bread to you.

[00:25:09]I'm going to use the tiny exotic dance.

[00:25:14]Okay.

[00:25:18]Is that going to work? You might win this one, babe. Oh, no. Please let the no bias just weigh bread collage ready heavily today. You look exotic, I would say.

[00:25:30]I'm just going to get into position.

[00:25:32]Look through my bready peep hole.

[00:25:34]I'm ready to get turned on. Cue music.

[00:25:36]Don't.

[00:25:40]Some of them fell off already.

[00:25:45]What do you mind?

[00:25:47]Think Jamie Lee Curtis, True Lies here.

[00:25:50]Come on.

[00:25:51]>> Come on now. Get into it, Alex.

[00:26:08]I think Greg might be into this.

[00:26:15]Yeah?

[00:26:16]I got to give you some juice and celery.

[00:26:18]Thank you so much.

[00:26:20]This is for you. Good. I was going to say this is going to be a difficult wank, but by the end I was Wasn't that difficult?

[00:26:27]>> he going to eat the sandwich? He can't eat it, Alex.

[00:26:33]I can't breathe.

[00:26:35]What's he going to do when he reads this? Okay, open it, please. Okay.

[00:26:39]Oh, no. Thank you so much.

[00:26:41]This is for you.

[00:26:42]This is amazing.

[00:26:48]Eat your exotic sandwich.

[00:26:52]It's not that kind of show.

[00:26:54]Oh. How are we going to do this? You got time sucks now. Okay.

[00:26:59]He almost went He almost went down.

[00:27:03]I'll do the whole thing, though.

[00:27:06]Other than that Yeah, the other side.

[00:27:08]He's nibbling his ear.

[00:27:09]>> a lot of the bread and not much of the filling.

[00:27:14]Oh, yeah.

[00:27:16]Your idea.

[00:27:17]I like you. Don't you dare.

[00:27:21]It's a sandwich.

[00:27:23]OH!

[00:27:25]INCREDIBLE.

[00:27:27]WHAT? You should win if he does not win.

[00:27:30]>> okay. It's a bit unbelievable. Tastes like passion fruit. Not ginger. Lavender and hot noodles makes together. Those are all good.

[00:27:37]Nice. Thank you.

[00:27:39]Oh, I'm so grossed out. I can't.

[00:27:44]Come on. Come on. Dedication. He should win just cuz he did that. He went all in. Well, that was exotic. Cosmic.

[00:27:53]I think I've literally never been further out of my comfort zone.

[00:27:57]The idea that he was made to do an erotic dance.

[00:28:00]I'll say erotic. I once walked I accidentally walked in on my nan in the bath once.

[00:28:06]And that's the least erotic thing I'VE EVER SEEN.

[00:28:11]YET YOU HAD HORRIBLE BEER.

[00:28:15]I'LL give him no little bonus point for eating hair. I love his hair. Are you aware that when we're at home, Alex is only allowed to move around LIKE A SNAKE?

[00:28:29]THAT'S A CRAZY REVEAL.

[00:28:30]>> YOU THIS, FULL OF MAGIC DROPPINGS.

[00:28:34]OKAY, HERE WE GO.

[00:28:36]Least exotic. Least exotic. He popped to a man, I nursed him, he bought himself a sandwich.

[00:28:43]You dare eat Mel, I loved your sandwich, but it's only exotic if you're 5 years of age.

[00:28:51]Lolly, absolutely horrific.

[00:28:54]Third place, second place, Joe.

[00:28:58]Combining trout and ice cream, very brave, but not as exotic as Mr. Noel Fielding got.

[00:29:06]That's six points right there, right?

[00:29:09]Five for winning and then one extra he got a bonus point.

[00:29:13]I get his bonus points? Okay, one bonus point. It counts. He ain't here for you, okay? Three, four, five. Oh, snap.

[00:29:23]Nine big ones so far.

[00:29:26]Well, are there extra points to be had for the amount consumed?

[00:29:28]>> Yeah, and it is oh, [ __ ] Exactly inversely proportional, and I guess this isn't surprising. You've given them five, four, three, two, one points. I've given them one, two, three, four, five points. So, they each get six points.

[00:29:38]There was no point doing any of it.

[00:29:42]So, they each get six points, okay.

[00:29:44]Six points. What? So, do you hear that?

[00:29:47]That's good to know.

[00:29:47]>> no point in doing any of it. That was the most fun I've had all week.

[00:29:57]What about my extra point for the bed?

[00:29:59]>> I got an extra point for the bed.

[00:30:01]>> Okay, Noel gets seven. Okay.

[00:30:05]Oh, did Noel get one for snorting?

[00:30:07]>> said you were going to give me an extra one for snorting. Yep. So, just to confirm, it's 6.6.6.7.7 points, Let's go. Let's go. High five for both getting double points.

[00:30:18]>> Snorting M&M's. All right.

[00:30:23]Which means scoreboard looks like this.

[00:30:25]Lolly's in the lead. Noel and Joe are both in second place.

[00:30:36]That's the end of that part. See you deep inside the next one.

[00:30:43]Very dirty.

[00:30:48]It's prop straight at the camera and we are playing for big money or in Hugh's case big dong.

[00:30:55]IT'S NEXT ALEX. IT'S THE WORLD'S greatest sporting dilemma.

[00:31:01]And that's a cool shot.

[00:31:11]See you later, boys.

[00:31:16]Hi, Hugh.

[00:31:18]Oh, he looks dashing.

[00:31:19]>> my football boots. Should I Where have you been? Hugh's been been that guy.

[00:31:24]>> He is. He's always dressed so nice. It just Yeah, I never see him in a peacoat.

[00:31:27]I like peacoats on men. Looks nice.

[00:31:31]>> I didn't wear my football boots. Should I go and get them? I think you'll be all right for this one.

[00:31:37]It's a relief. I left them in Birmingham.

[00:31:40]Oh.

[00:31:42]Don't want too many gloves. No. Now, what is that? It's a type of cheese. I was going to say Babybel. Coconut. Allie loves those.

[00:31:53]Strike one of these objects furthest distance with one of the other objects.

[00:32:01]You have three strikes with your chosen object. So, if I select one of these and one of those, yeah? Then you get three goes. I get three chances.

[00:32:09]Okay.

[00:32:11]All right.

[00:32:17]I'm very crazy. All right, I'm going to >> task this is, dude. Oh my gosh.

[00:32:23]All right, I've got a bit of a lead. I can risk it. I can risk it. I can risk it. I can risk it. You don't have to go with the same person three times in a row.

[00:32:32]But like when you're winning and you're doing so well, like why would you mix it up, You know?

[00:32:37]>> True. No, no, no.

[00:32:39]>> I'm going with you.

[00:32:42]I was actually going to go with you thinking it was a golf task. He looks pretty dapper. Looks like he could fit in on a golf course better than anybody else, but now seeing the actual task, I don't know what to expect, really.

[00:32:55]>> I know. But Noel looked confident when he was clapping like he's remembering back.

[00:33:01]This is all I'm going off of.

[00:33:03]He was remembering back to how well he did in the task in that moment.

[00:33:07]>> Okay. Well, imagine this is all about club selection, right?

[00:33:09]>> That's right. We're at the home of golf, Chesham United Football Club, and they had three attempts, but they have to use the same objects on every attempt. Okay. So, do you want to start off with the two most natural sports people?

[00:33:21]>> natural sportsmen, Joe and Mel.

[00:33:23]>> Joe and Mel. Okay.

[00:33:25]I think it would be foolish to use the flotation device.

[00:33:30]We do aqua aerobics with these.

[00:33:33]Don't you dare. It's [ __ ] isn't it?

[00:33:35]That I've said could be a really good There you go. whack with the duck, maybe. The coconut has the most weight to it. The problem is the impact on the coconut could destroy it. I'm going to go for a snooker cue and duck.

[00:33:51]All the cheese, all the cheese.

[00:33:55]It's not as nice as you remember, is it?

[00:33:57]I love that cheese. It's so good. Can I put it on the tee?

[00:34:03]Why not?

[00:34:08]Attempt one.

[00:34:12]Well, So, my fears have become very real.

[00:34:17]Oh, no, Mel. Two.

[00:34:23]This is like me at Topgolf.

[00:34:24]>> one.

[00:34:25]I think that counts. We just took We just had a little birthday at a place called Topgolf, which is basically just like a big giant glorified uh what is it? Golf course, but it's a range, a driving range.

[00:34:38]>> Yeah, driving range, you're right. Yeah.

[00:34:40]Yeah, big fancy one, but it was a good time. Yeah.

[00:34:42]>> every round we played, no big deal.

[00:34:44]>> He did. Of course he had a good time.

[00:34:46]I had a great time.

[00:34:50]I hit a few, so that was second go, isn't it?

[00:34:53]This is your last He showed me how to hit. This is your last attempt. Yeah.

[00:34:57]Come on, Mel. You can do it.

[00:35:01]Yeah, there you go. Good job. Very, very straight.

[00:35:06]Oh, oh. Did you see that little bit there?

[00:35:09]I've got my iron and I've got my iron in it.

[00:35:12]8 m and 12 cm. It's not outrageous, is it? 18 m, 45. Lucky you. Honestly, the coconuts now are a bad choice compared to the with the laps.

[00:35:24]With the destroyed pieces, you know what I'm saying?

[00:35:28]Well done, well done.

[00:35:31]Really wonderful performances.

[00:35:33]Interesting, you're almost scientific in your prediction of how the coconut would behave when hit with the snooker cue, and yet you continued to I mean, they were both pretty good. 8 m 12 from Mel, it's quite far. Except when you consider that the world's longest hot dog is 204 m.

[00:35:50]What?

[00:35:52]204? That has certainly put things in perspective.

[00:35:57]Up next, lollipop.

[00:36:00]Are we going snooker cue?

[00:36:01]I'm not sure yet.

[00:36:06]The pencil, eh?

[00:36:10]I'm going to go with the pencil and cut the coconut. Pencil coconut. Okay.

[00:36:20]Oh, well.

[00:36:21]Could you have done with a magic hat?

[00:36:23]I think that was backwards.

[00:36:25]Something really told me that Lolly was not going to do well in the game.

[00:36:29]That one didn't go forward as well.

[00:36:30]So, this this is your last attempt, Lolly. Oh my gosh.

[00:36:38]You didn't hit it.

[00:36:40]I didn't hit it. I mean, you dropped it 25 cm. You dropped it.

[00:36:45]I'm really sorry, guys.

[00:36:48]It's all right, Lolly. We still love you.

[00:36:56]We love you, Lolly. It's okay.

[00:37:02]I have I have nightmares about that every night.

[00:37:05]It's nice, you know, for people cuz people sit at home and watch telly and sometimes think people they see on their telly are untouchable, you know.

[00:37:13]How nice How nice for you not only to be a peer, to be just one of them, but worse worse.

[00:37:26]GAME SKELETON MAN.

[00:37:28]SHE DIDN'T EVEN clip it, did she? She was the only one not to use a snooker cue. She sort of dropped it and it rolled 20 cm, which is shorter than a STANDARD BRITISH SAUSAGE.

[00:37:39]SO, I'VE REVEALED THAT HUGH AND NOEL HAVE BOTH used a snooker cue. They also hit the same object. Let's see who hit it further.

[00:37:46]Ooh. It's a head. This is a fun episode.

[00:37:51]Cheese wiz. That is a very very very long thing, isn't it?

[00:37:56]You know, I did want to mention about the cheese. Oh, he chopped it.

[00:37:59]>> that Babybel cheese is damn delicious.

[00:38:01]Yeah.

[00:38:02]>> But, I will also admit that cheeses would come up in our comments a little bit a lot a bit.

[00:38:07]Cuz we have the the square sliced American cheese.

[00:38:10]>> Yeah. Um we get hated on for our cheese.

[00:38:12]We don't have good cheese. I don't know.

[00:38:15]I haven't really I I'm not I will admit that I have not had enough cheese in my life to know if I've ever tasted really good cheese.

[00:38:24]>> So you're saying that we should have a cheese taste off.

[00:38:27]>> off. I love it. Yeah, we need some I need some actual cheese in my life cuz to this point I'm pretty sure Babybel is the best tasting cheese I've ever tasted in my life.

[00:38:38]>> It is not because you've had you've had other cheeses, but you need to be experienced to other cheeses.

[00:38:44]>> I've had a lot of cheese in my day, but I love cheese. I'm I love all kinds of cheese.

[00:38:49]>> You can't be trusted. I can be trusted.

[00:38:53]That's a very, very, very long thing, isn't it?

[00:39:00]That's definitely a strike. Aw.

[00:39:07]I don't think there's much chance of me hitting the cheese again.

[00:39:11]Oh.

[00:39:12]Oh, that was a good one, Jess. Okay.

[00:39:15]Dead straight, as well. Dead straight.

[00:39:17]Good job, Hugh. That was really good.

[00:39:21]He set it up right. That's smart.

[00:39:30]Where did that go?

[00:39:31]Where did THAT GO?

[00:39:34]OH.

[00:39:35]LET'S LEAVE IT THERE.

[00:39:38]I think that was the best.

[00:39:40]>> I would say the best thing you've ever done in your life.

[00:39:44]Hopefully not.

[00:39:47]My mom's not a fan of the IT Crowd. How dare you? We're all good.

[00:39:52]The Mighty Boosh. Wow. Wait, Janet. But before this show, I sort of thought of you as this sort of weirdy art nymph.

[00:39:59]But the more I see you You really just laugh. You just like oh.

[00:40:02]You just laugh.

[00:40:04]That's a wig.

[00:42:43]So, I'm drawing my own rubber ducky.

[00:42:46]>> Oh, [ __ ] I suck at drawing.

[00:42:49]Okay, I picked Lolly and I drew a rubber duck, too. Okay.

[00:42:55]I drew a monster of a creature.

[00:43:29]Joe might have messed it up for me.

[00:43:32]Okay.

[00:43:33]Okay, ladies and gentlemen, which duck would you like to see?

[00:43:37]Is that me? Yeah. Remember ducks aren't really yellow.

[00:43:51]They don't always LOOK LIKE DUCKS.

[00:43:55]WHICH DUCK WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?

[00:43:58]THAT'S YOU, JOE. DUCK TWO.

[00:44:00]YOU ASKED TO see the medium duck.

[00:44:04]>> Mhm.

[00:44:04]So, I did the medium duck.

[00:44:09]Yeah. That says, and I have drawn the medium duck.

[00:44:14]Or have you written it?

[00:44:17]I have drawn it.

[00:44:18]>> There's a little tiny duck down there.

[00:44:20]You did draw a duck.

[00:44:24]I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE TASK.

[00:44:26]AND I HAVE WRITTEN DRAWN.

[00:44:33]OH, JOE, YOU LOST IT. DAMN IT. WHICH DUCK do you want to see now?

[00:44:39]That's you, Lolly. Show us your duck.

[00:44:40]>> Boring crowd.

[00:44:42]>> a small duck, and I've also written, uh, this has been a wonderful experience, and I will remember it until the day I die. Lolly had a faux pas. Oh.

[00:44:50]Oh, that's beautiful.

[00:44:54]It's almost, uh, let you off having not drawn a duck. You've drawn a multicolored kidney.

[00:45:07]Which duck would you like to see?

[00:45:10]It's you, Mel. Here we go.

[00:45:13]Oh, nice duck. A lovely little duck.

[00:45:15]What have we got?

[00:45:16]Let's see. The main thing I just want to point out, uh, considering the company we're in, I put comedian duck.

[00:45:28]No, no, they asked for the medium duck.

[00:45:31]I'D LIKE TO QUICKLY MEASURE Hugh and Mel's duck, if that's all right, just to make sure it's worked. Yeah. So, a 21-in duck Yeah.

[00:45:38]compared to a from bill to tail, that's a 13-in 13-in duck. So, we're looking for something between 13 in and 6 in.

[00:45:46]Which duck would you LIKE TO SEE?

[00:45:52]OH.

[00:45:54]AH, IT'S A LOVELY DUCK. IT IS LOVELY.

[00:45:56]>> DUCK.

[00:45:59]If it's bigger than 13, then Mel has, uh, won the task.

[00:46:04]It's 13 and 1/2 inches, which means Mel has drawn MEL IS THE GOOD JOB, MEL.

[00:46:16]THE LAST TASK OF THE SERIES. DO we get the bonus points for best duck?

[00:46:20]>> No, Mel gets THE BONUS POINTS.

[00:46:25]BEAUTIFUL. WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN US TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT HAS DONE TO THE FINAL SCORES?

[00:46:31]I WAS ABOUT TO say who who came in second, though. Cuz it looked like Lolly should have been second. I don't know.

[00:46:40]So, Mel's duck was extremely average, which won her the task, but doesn't mean she's won the episode. Might do. I've totted up the scores, and the scoreboard looks like this.

[00:46:54]She's snuck into the front. SHE'S SMASHED IT.

[00:47:00]OH, GOOD JOB, MEL. MEL IS THE WINNER OF TONIGHT. THEY DIDN'T technically give anybody points.

[00:47:05]They didn't, so we got to just go >> tell. I'm just going to go call it right here. I got a 18.

[00:47:44]OH, YOU MONOPOLY YOU. I BET SHE HAS A lot of fun in her Taskmaster as well.

[00:47:49]>> It's crunch time. After eight episodes, 45 tasks, and let's not forget those 48 links in and out of commercial breaks.

[00:47:56]It's finally time to palm this ludicrous trophy off on the overall winner.

[00:48:04]But, who will be joining the ranks of such esteemed Taskmaster royalty as past champions Josh Widdicombe, Katherine Ryan, Rob Beckett?

[00:48:35]GOOD JOB, NOEL.

[00:48:37]NOEL FIELDING.

[00:48:38]He's just a skinny man.

[00:48:46]Holy [ __ ] he's so tall.

[00:48:49]He's so tall.

[00:48:50]It's ridiculous.

[00:48:52]OH MY GOD.

[00:48:56]WELL DONE, EVERYBODY.

[00:48:58]GOT TO TUNE IN TO ALL of our contestants, but especially to our phenomenal victor, Mr. Noel Fielding.

[00:49:03]Thank you for watching, everyone. See you NEXT TIME. GOOD NIGHT.

[00:49:07]THAT WAS AWESOME.

[00:49:09]Good job, Noel.

[00:49:10]If you missed an episode of the new and exclusive series of Taskmaster, catch up now with Dave on UKTV Play. Well, next up it's QI XL.

[00:49:20]QI XL.

[00:49:21]What a series. That was awesome. That was good.

[00:49:26]I am done with this now, but that was really good getting to know all of them.

[00:49:29]Yep.

[00:49:33]Greg and Alex are so weird. I think the show they really are.

[00:49:38]But, they're per- they're perfect for each other.

[00:49:39]>> They are. It's so awesome.

[00:49:41]>> Um Man, I think the show would hit even harder than it does for us if we went into a series where we knew every single one of the people. That would be crazy.

[00:49:51]Yeah.

[00:49:51]>> Um but, yeah, getting to know him through the series is pretty cool. We have a lot to get to. I wonder if there will ever be a series where we'll know, you know what I mean? Every single person.

[00:50:01]>> As we like every single time we react to a new show, we get to know, you know, more people.

[00:50:06]And yeah.

[00:50:08]It could happen.

[00:50:09]>> could happen. Could. It could.

[00:50:11]It could. So far we're one person. Yeah, like one one or two.

[00:50:16]Sometimes it's two.

[00:50:18]Was it two? I don't know when it's ever been two to be honest with you. Uh maybe it was. I can't remember. But anyways, uh man, what a series that was. That was so fun. I think uh Lolly's little writing on her painting just then was really sweet.

[00:50:34]>> It was really sweet. It was a nice little closing. Cuz that's what I would have done, too. It's like high school almost. Like you you're ending a chapter of your life. It's something fun that you got to do for weeks at a time and you got to spend it with these people and you want to remember it, you know?

[00:50:46]Hugh's best chair.

[00:50:48]That was still sweet. It was a good moment, for sure. And Mel collecting all the candle things.

[00:50:54]>> so awesome. I want to see if I can look up to see what she did with it. Because I know she was melt it melting it all together, but she was the sweetest. And I think I want to go back to the baking competitions that she's in and watch them just because I love her so much and I'm going to miss her.

[00:51:08]Hugh getting last place over and over again. Hugh getting no respect through the whole series. Getting disrespected by his age. Yeah. But then in the moments where he deserved respect, like that was awesome. It was given, for sure. He like he proved it. Getting to know Noel better with his skeleton laugh and stuff.

[00:51:27]Okay, don't move the top layer of teeth, okay?

[00:51:31]Only your bottom, okay? But you have to show your top teeth.

[00:51:35]>> do it. I literally cannot do it.

[00:51:39]I can't do it. Hold on. Yeah, he's such an athlete, though. He's really like in the pub playing rugby on the weekends.

[00:51:46]Do that.

[00:51:47]Yeah, but yeah, he's >> This whole public persona he has.

[00:51:51]If you will.

[00:51:53]He is.

[00:51:54]He's just a very finely dressed lads lad, you know? Yeah.

[00:51:58]And then Joe's cool, too. Getting to know him all was very cool. What a cool series. Definitely. Thanks for watching with us as always, and we'll see you on the next one. Bye, friends. Peace.
