00:00All right, let's go.
00:05Can you take this to my head?
00:12Call plus call.
00:16That was quite pathetic, don't you think?
00:22Hello and welcome to Junior Taskmaster.
00:37My name is Rose Matafeo and I have been appointed by the powers that be to serve as your newer, cooler, slightly shorter and much juniorer taskmaster.
00:46Now, over the series, 25 children will be battling it out through five heats and two semis in the hope of reaching the grand final and getting their tiny, dexterous little hands on this.
00:57Ooh, yes, I know exactly what the kids want.
01:00It's a slightly terrifying golden statue of a random 32-year-old woman's head.
01:06Now, in taskmaster tradition, tonight's winner will take home all of the prize tasks.
01:11However, the contestants who come first and second will both win a spot in the semifinals.
01:17And obviously, in my role as junior taskmaster, I will be passing judgement, awarding points and scrutinising their every move.
01:24Basically, just preparing these kids for the horrors of the adult workforce.
01:28Yay!
01:29Now, it's time to meet some of the contestants.
01:31Let's do it.
01:32Let's do it.
01:33Please welcome, Anita!
01:35Liza!
01:37Mayara!
01:39Sosa!
01:41And Ruben!
01:45It is, of course, time to introduce my assistant.
01:49He is as sharp as a marble, right?
01:51And he is a large family-style tray of sandwiches short of a picnic.
01:56Like, I'm talking like one of those massive trays.
01:59They have funerals and stuff.
02:01It's Mike Wazniak!
02:07Thank you, Rose.
02:09Ultimately, this is a show about the dangers of dental floss.
02:13While standard floss is strong enough to bind a honey-glazed ham,
02:17it may be wax-coated and that wax could ignite in your oven,
02:21ruining your ham, your oven and, indeed, your reputation.
02:26So, remember, kids, if catch of the day is swine, use cooking twine.
02:32It's so weird, that exact phrase tattered on my lower back.
02:36Right, Mike, could you please reveal to me tonight's prize task?
02:40Certainly. This week, the category for the prize task
02:43is the most impressive circular thing.
02:45The irony, of course, about circular things
02:48is that they're usually only found impressive by squares.
02:53All righty, Anita, welcome to the show.
02:55What is your most impressive circular thing?
02:58My mummy's wedding ring.
03:01Oh!
03:03Oh!
03:05Wow!
03:08OK, what is impressive about this?
03:10It's like a circle of trust.
03:12And in the inside, my mum and her husband,
03:16they have, like, nicknames, which is Spiky and Sparky,
03:20and it's engraved in the middle of it.
03:24OK, um...
03:27OK, well done.
03:31I guess I believe in love again, um...
03:36So let's hope you do win this back.
03:41Laser, how you doing? I've got to address it.
03:44What does this look? It's incredible.
03:46Well, it's just a makeshift alien costume.
03:49OK.
03:50Came with a headpiece. No.
03:54So, Laser, what is your most impressive circular thing?
03:57It's a giant puffball mushroom kit.
03:59What is a puffball mushroom?
04:00It's a kind of mushroom, it's very circular.
04:02There we are.
04:03Yeah, that is the giant puffball that I found in a field.
04:08Did you know that if a puffball spawned,
04:10there would be seven trillion spores?
04:13And if all of those spores grew into mushrooms,
04:15then spawned again,
04:16the amount of mushrooms would be 800 times the size of Earth.
04:20What?!
04:22Wow.
04:23Wow.
04:27So if we use that kit you've submitted,
04:29that's what will happen, is that what you're suggesting?
04:33Did you know that actually a puffball DNA
04:36is 50% the same as humans?
04:42Any particular human you've got in mind?
04:45Any human.
04:46Any human?
04:47So your 50% puffball mushroom?
04:49That checks out.
04:51That checks out.
04:53All right, Nayara, welcome to the show.
04:56What did you bring in as your most impressive circular thing?
04:59If, like, you want something impressive,
05:02why not get a really nice globe?
05:04Ah!
05:05It can light up.
05:07And on the globe, if you look, like, really closely,
05:11you can see some animals that are actually on it.
05:14Oh!
05:15I can see a horse, a snake, a dog.
05:19A dog the size of Indonesia?
05:20Yeah, it's quite chilling.
05:23All right, Persia.
05:24So my most impressive circular thing is a pigeon's leg ring.
05:29Oh!
05:30So they're impressive, because with racing pigeons,
05:33they track the pigeons and hold information about them,
05:37so they could search up on their computer,
05:40let's say, 19998,
05:42they could find everything about that pigeon.
05:45Except we can't find out about that pigeon,
05:47because you've taken their ring.
05:50I can't help but notice your T-shirt, Persia.
05:52What does it say?
05:53I just really like pigeons, OK?
05:56I have pigeon socks as well.
05:58You've got pigeon socks?
05:59Oh, sorry, girls, look at those.
06:01Oh, wow!
06:02Now, last but not least, Reuben.
06:05So I've brought in a Shania Twain CD
06:09covered in maple syrup.
06:14Wow. OK.
06:17So, who is the hardest person to impress?
06:23It's the old lyrical curve.
06:24Aha, yes.
06:25He's pendering to the elder millennial in me.
06:28Well, I think one of the most iconic people
06:31who is the most hard to impress is Shania Twain.
06:34Because of her hit single.
06:38And because she's Canadian, decided to cover it in maple syrup.
06:41Because why not?
06:42Wow. OK.
06:47That is amazing.
06:49Do your parents like a bit of Shania Twain, or is that just...?
06:52Well, occasionally, they just pop on a couple of bangs.
06:58Do you know what a CD is?
06:59Yes.
07:00I have a CD player at home.
07:02Do you? What kind of CDs do you have?
07:04McFly and Backstreet Boys.
07:07Are you all time travellers?
07:09What is going on?
07:11Yeah, the ancient music of McFly.
07:14OK, look, they're all absolutely fantastic.
07:17But it's going to be one point to Nayara for The Globe,
07:20two points for Persia, three points for Laser,
07:23because there was a lot of facts going on there.
07:25Anita, for the risk of putting your mother's wedding ring
07:28into the game, that's really impressive to me.
07:31So, four points.
07:32But, Reuben, I mean, five points.
07:34It's silly, it's good, and I love it.
07:37Fantastic stuff.
07:40OK, it's time for the first task.
07:42What will be kicking us off tonight, Coach Mike?
07:45Well, the tables are turned in this...
07:48task?
07:49No.
07:51There is a turntable in it.
07:54Sorry, a really big one, though.
07:56And a hat.
07:57Also big.
07:58Oh, my goodness!
08:00MUSIC PLAYS
08:09MUSIC STOPS
08:19Hello, Mike.
08:20Hello, Nayara.
08:22How are you?
08:23What's this hat of yours?
08:25It's too tall.
08:26Do you like it?
08:27No.
08:28What is going on?
08:30Hello, Persia.
08:31Hello.
08:33This is unusual.
08:35Hello, Mike.
08:36Hello, Reuben.
08:37How are you?
08:38Doing good.
08:39Oh, hello.
08:40Oh, hello.
08:41Hello, Maisa.
08:43Hello, Ethan.
08:44Hello, Mike.
08:45How are you?
08:46Good.
08:55Most thing in Mike's hat wins.
08:57You have eight minutes.
08:58Your time starts now.
09:01Now, what can I put in there?
09:03Is there a cat in your hat?
09:05All the information's in the task.
09:08It says, get the most different things in Mike's hat.
09:11You must not step on the red green.
09:13Most things in Mike's hat wins.
09:15You have eight minutes.
09:16Your time starts now.
09:17Yeah, I think that's pretty comprehensive.
09:21To you?
09:29You've got a little cake on a cake display.
09:31That's quite nice.
09:33Uh, Nayara, I think you're getting quite annoyed at Mike.
09:36Yeah.
09:38The reason I got annoyed at him is cos every time I answer a question,
09:42he's like, the answer's in the task.
09:45Honestly, don't get me started on that.
09:48It's so annoying.
09:50Very annoying.
09:51It's happened to me a lot.
09:52All been there, brother.
09:53Uh...
09:55The task is very simple.
09:56Get some things into that big old hat.
09:58Show me that, Mike.
09:59Here is Persia and Reuben.
10:01Oh.
10:03This to get near you
10:05and then this to get to your level.
10:09So now I can actually reach...
10:13Waiting.
10:15Bam.
10:17Make a little path.
10:21Make it a bit wider.
10:29OK.
10:30Is this...
10:31Does this much...
10:33Does this give much...
10:38OK, OK.
10:39OK, OK, OK.
10:40Whoa.
10:49Let's try other things.
10:51Torch.
10:52Beanbag.
10:53Strawberry.
10:54Tennis racket.
10:55Ah, cling film.
10:59Cling film.
11:02OK.
11:03I'm definitely not going to win this.
11:06So far, I haven't got anything in Mike's hat.
11:10Nope, missed.
11:11Just stuff it in.
11:12Yeah, give it a good old shove, why not?
11:17OK.
11:18Bam.
11:19There.
11:21That's in your hat, technically.
11:25Next of all, I need a brick.
11:27A brick.
11:30A clownfish and a salmon.
11:32A clownfish and a salmon are two different things.
11:37They're different species of fish.
11:40OK.
11:41Tosk thing.
11:43Yes.
11:44WHISTLE BLOWS
11:45Phew.
11:46Thank you, Ruben.
11:47You're welcome.
11:48Are you worried at all about the fact
11:50you've pushed my ears further down my head
11:52than they've ever been before?
11:53No.
11:54The more things you can get into the hat...
11:56It's a tough task, isn't it, fundamentally?
11:58Yeah.
12:02Oh, dear.
12:05Right.
12:06So, you both kind of built some bridges,
12:08you got some stuff in there.
12:09Closure very much went for the sort of,
12:11the pathway, then the elevated gantry.
12:13You had the pathway, but you, instead,
12:15you put a sort of elevated obstacle at the, er...
12:18But then, um, he eventually got over the stools,
12:21onto the bricks.
12:22Very precarious, right?
12:23He was careful to try and get different items.
12:25So, what was that about?
12:26They're different kinds of fish,
12:28and they're made of different things.
12:30The cowfish was made of, like, rubber,
12:32and the salmon, I think, was, like, stuffed.
12:35Stuffed.
12:36Do you think I was born yesterday, Ruben?
12:38No!
12:40Closure, um, you've certainly filled up that hat,
12:43but would you say that those items were different?
12:46Here's what we...
12:48With the yarn...
12:49Sorry, did you say, here's what we know?
12:51Here's what we know.
12:54So, the yarn was different coloured...
12:57Which makes it different.
12:59..which makes it different.
13:00The googly eyes, when you pick it up,
13:02the eye inside the plastic is always going to be
13:05in a different spot than it was with the previous googly eye.
13:08I agree with Persia.
13:10Yeah!
13:11Yeah!
13:12Oh, well, I know you!
13:14Interesting!
13:16That's a bit suspicious, Anita.
13:18We haven't seen your clip yet, and it's like,
13:22I think I agree with her logic there.
13:25Who are we going to see now, Mike?
13:27Next up, it's Anita and Laser.
13:31What have you got?
13:32Got a few balls to maybe throw at your face,
13:35or, no, not your face, I mean your hat.
13:44This is not going well.
13:45Um, oh, got one in.
13:49I've got an idea.
13:50Yeah.
13:51You don't have to wear your hat.
13:57Well, hello, hat.
13:59Very right, but I'm going to have to take your hat off.
14:02So...
14:04A little intimidating.
14:05Yes, I've got the hat off.
14:06Yes, I got the hat off.
14:08Hello.
14:09What are you going to do next?
14:10Just put everything in the hat.
14:12A lot of ping-pong balls.
14:14Three kilograms of doily mixture.
14:16You've got 37 seconds left.
14:18Thanks for telling me.
14:21A lot of balloons.
14:23Get out, feathers, they're too big.
14:28What are you doing that on?
14:30It's mine.
14:34WHISTLE BLOWS
14:36Done.
14:38Mikey, Mikey!
14:40OK, I don't know why I'm doing this.
14:42What are you doing?
14:43I'm trying to draw on you.
14:46Too short.
14:47OK, I'm pretty sure...
14:49There you go.
14:50Yes.
14:55I dropped it.
14:56That's a real shame.
14:57I just go...
14:58WHISTLE BLOWS
14:59Aw, thank you, Mike.
15:09How dare you, how dare you, Laser?
15:12To draw on this sweet man's face.
15:16What was the thinking behind it, Laser?
15:18Just a bit of fun at the end?
15:19Exactly.
15:21Fun?
15:22Why not abuse the Assistant Taskmaster?
15:26Oh, gosh, he is right.
15:29At one point, I think you just said,
15:31I'm going to get a big stick and poke it in your hat.
15:34It was a nerve-wracking time.
15:36They had different approaches to the removal of the hat,
15:38you may have noticed.
15:39Laser going for the brim, which was quite terrifying.
15:44You don't want him to pull out your eye?
15:46For example.
15:49Perfect example.
15:50OK, time for a break.
15:51You know what?
15:52You can use this time however you choose.
15:54We're all about free will and autonomy here at Junior Taskmaster,
15:57but having said that, you'd better come back.
16:09Welcome back to Junior Taskmaster.
16:11Mike, more tasks immediately.
16:13Right, shall we see how Nayara got on?
16:16Absolutely, that's what I want.
16:17Before you put on mine, I just want to tell you one thing.
16:21I wasn't thinking straight.
16:28I'm looking for weird things and different things.
16:31What are you going to do with them?
16:33Throw them in your hat.
16:34Oh, I see.
16:35Does that go in?
16:36No, they're not going in.
16:39What have you chosen to throw now?
16:41Balloons and feathers.
16:42Those most trustworthy of missiles.
16:45Feathers.
16:47Argh!
17:08LAUGHTER
17:18WHISTLE BLOWS
17:19Argh!
17:20Your spinning ruined me!
17:24I almost got the band in.
17:27Your spinning ruined my band.
17:31Sorry, Nayara.
17:33Bye-bye.
17:34Bye-bye.
17:39APPLAUSE
17:42Wow, emotional show.
17:46Nayara was doing fine.
17:48She showed immense strength against adversity there.
17:51There was a point, I don't know if you spotted it, Nayara,
17:53where you threw some cotton wool balls out of your hat
17:55and they actually blew straight back into your hat.
17:59At the end, though, I feel like there was a lot of blame
18:01being put on Mike there and almost of quite a threatening...
18:05If he could just get up and walk to me, that'd be perfect.
18:10I think the phrase you used was,
18:12your spinning ruined me, wasn't it?
18:15I mean, how did you feel to be quite threatened?
18:17I mean, she gave you the eyes, didn't she?
18:19I felt like I must have generated that wind somehow,
18:22is what I felt there.
18:23She was so certain.
18:24I saw the anger in those eyes.
18:26Actually, you could have, cos you're spinning, it'll get air out.
18:29Wow, this is true.
18:31She's gaslighting you.
18:33I love it. I love the argument.
18:35Nayara, I love the attempt and that was a joy to watch.
18:38Well, honestly, this task seems pretty straightforward.
18:40It's just about how many different things you got into the hat
18:43without touching the red green,
18:44so I guess we just need to tot up those things in the hat.
18:47Well, yes, although you do mention the red...
18:50..green.
18:53Shall we have a squeeze, Ruben?
18:57Use the cling film wisely.
19:01BUZZER
19:04OK, it's definitely not going to work.
19:10You know what, I do almost feel something impressive
19:12about so flagrantly breaking the rules there.
19:15If you're going to do it, do it big style.
19:17It was accidental, OK?
19:20Common defence, unfortunately, it holds no water whatsoever.
19:24There is one more little video.
19:26Oh, no.
19:28Oh, no.
19:29Here we go.
19:30Not me.
19:31Yes.
19:35BUZZER
19:37BUZZER
19:39APPLAUSE
19:45Wow.
19:50He was, er, what, fevered with bloodlust.
19:55Was it all worth it, Liza?
19:57Liza, was it...?
19:59Yeah.
20:01This does make it a bit more straightforward, doesn't it?
20:03Do you want some data? Uh-huh.
20:05No, I mean, I don't want to pour salt into the wound.
20:08Obviously, there was zero different items in the hat.
20:11Persia got four different types of item in the hat
20:14and Ruben got eight, but we know what happened there.
20:16Liza also got eight, but we also know what happened there
20:18with the red green.
20:19Anita got a whopping 13 different types of item.
20:22Oh, wow, amazing.
20:23APPLAUSE
20:25Well, points-wise, unfortunately, Ruben, Liza,
20:28nil points for you both.
20:30Nayara, nothing in the hat.
20:31Honestly, though, you know what?
20:33I'm feeling generous.
20:34I'm giving a bonus point just for the fact that
20:37that was so beautiful.
20:39Will you take a pity point?
20:41Yeah.
20:42LAUGHTER
20:43Fine, fine, fine.
20:44So, so, so, one point for Nayara, four points for Persia,
20:47but five points has to go to Anita.
20:49APPLAUSE
20:52Shall we see how it all looks on the scoreboard?
20:54Yes, please.
20:55Well, it's pretty tight.
20:56Nayara is languishing with two.
20:58Anita is way ahead with nine, though.
21:00APPLAUSE
21:01Well, Lisa, look, you're one in the lot.
21:04I would like to see another task.
21:07Windsor Castle.
21:08Hedgehogs.
21:09Mashed potato.
21:11Together, these things make up the sacred Troika of Britain.
21:15LAUGHTER
21:16For obvious reasons, we can't use two of those in these shows,
21:19so here's a task involving a wee bit of mash.
21:21Oh, golly.
21:24MUSIC
21:36Hello, Mike.
21:37Hello, Lisa.
21:39Hello, Persia.
21:40Hello.
21:41Anita.
21:42Hello.
21:43Welcome.
21:44I'm already worried.
21:47Oh, sorry.
21:48Hello, Ruben.
21:49Hello.
21:50Oh, God.
21:53Hello, Nayara.
21:54What kind of mash is that?
21:56A pile of mash, are you?
21:58Yeah.
21:59Huge fan of it.
22:02Work out what two things are in each pile of mash.
22:06You...
22:07You may eat one.
22:09I'm not eating that, no!
22:11You may eat one, sniff one, lick one,
22:15put your little finger in one and throw one on the floor.
22:18Most correct answers wins.
22:20You have ten minutes.
22:21Your time starts now.
22:28Wow, wow.
22:30That's so minty.
22:31OK, it's a classic game of what's in the mash, isn't it?
22:34Yep.
22:35Little finger.
22:36We all have little fingers since we're kids.
22:39Yeah!
22:40And also, even though you said it's a classic game
22:43of what's in the mash, it's also hashtag horrible.
22:49Wow.
22:50You're really bad at making mash.
22:52You need to go on cooking lessons.
22:54Not enough butter.
22:56Yeah, it needs lots more butter.
22:59Excuse me.
23:00That is an ancient, generational recipe from Mike's family, right?
23:05No, from a time before butter.
23:06You were being mean to him earlier
23:08and now what you're doing is you're defending him.
23:10Yeah.
23:13Hey, listen, I don't know if I'm coming or going
23:15and maybe that's the way I like it.
23:18All right, all right.
23:20Who's up first, Michael?
23:22We have Anita, Persia and Ruben.
23:25I'm going to put my little finger in this one
23:27cos it looks like it has the most vegetables in it.
23:31I know what's in that one.
23:33Cucumber.
23:34OK.
23:35I'm very familiar with cucumber.
23:37Are you? Yeah.
23:39OK.
23:40Cucumber and banana.
23:44Eww.
23:45Chicken curry.
23:47I've thrown one on the floor.
23:50Mmm.
23:51That is yummy.
23:56Ha!
23:58This one's completely useless.
24:00It just smells like mashed potato.
24:03What is that?
24:05Peas and carrots.
24:06Peas and carrots.
24:07I'm going to go with ribbon.
24:09Happy birthday, bandana and a moustache.
24:13I'm going to stick my finger in it.
24:15I already know what that is.
24:18Oh, I know what that is.
24:23The brussels sprout's in there.
24:25Would she recitain from sniffing?
24:27Yeah.
24:30Oh, that's brussels sprout.
24:32That is br...
24:33OK.
24:37Right, that looks like it.
24:39That looks like it.
24:41Cheese and lettuce.
24:48OK, it's just a massive ball of mashed potato.
24:52Egg.
24:53Are you going to say egg?
24:54And if you want to be specific, boiled egg.
24:56OK.
24:57Boiled egg, but it's not completely boiled
24:59because inside the egg it's still runny.
25:02It's a boiled egg, just not completely boiled.
25:04OK.
25:10Mint and pecans.
25:15Mushroom and toothpaste.
25:21Hazelnut and some dried orange.
25:25I think it's safe to say that that task is officially finished.
25:30Bye.
25:31Bye.
25:32Bye.
25:33Until next time.
25:39ALL GROAN
25:52How dare you?!
25:55The definition of making that task is savage.
26:01Can I say, ribbon should count,
26:04because if you cut it up,
26:06then you count that as ribbon and you tie it on your present.
26:09There are very different types of sashes,
26:11so a hen party sash will get you a different reaction to say,
26:14you know...
26:15Yeah, if you've wrapped an anniversary present
26:17in a hen do sash, there's going to be...
26:19There's a little bit of a difference.
26:21It's a can of worms.
26:23Right, that's the end of part two,
26:25but part three is going to be even better.
26:27How do I know that?
26:28Well, because I was actually sent from the future.
26:30What happens to me in the future?
26:32Oh, you're extremely rich.
26:33Wow!
26:35See you soon.
26:46Welcome back.
26:48Hey, are you ready for part three?
26:50Please, Mike, may I have some more?
26:52More?!
26:56All right.
26:57You may indeed.
26:59Now it's time for Laser and Nayara.
27:01Let's go.
27:03Um...
27:06Words...
27:07I'm just going to guess.
27:09Cucumber and pumpkin?
27:11These are the shapes of a cucumber that it looks like.
27:14Say cucumber.
27:16Say it's mushroom and mint.
27:23Mushroom.
27:27Oh, that's sprouts.
27:29Mussels!
27:30SHE SCREAMS
27:34I hate mussels.
27:41Egg.
27:49There's one little big red thing.
27:51You wouldn't know what it is.
27:53OK, I'm going to put my little finger in one.
27:56Is that your little finger?
27:58What is...?
28:00This is a moustache.
28:02Right.
28:05I don't know.
28:06Can I just skip on it?
28:08All the information's in the task.
28:12Get on one earth!
28:16I'm just going to have a look if there's anything which tells me what they are.
28:19Um...
28:22There's one here.
28:25Oh, yes, there is.
28:27This one's mint and mushroom.
28:29This one's boiled egg and fried egg.
28:31This one's spaghetti and sprouts.
28:33That one's curry and cucumber.
28:35And this one's hen do sash and fake tash.
28:40Done.
28:43Thank you, Mike.
28:44Bye, Liza.
28:45Thank you, Nailah.
28:48Oh, wow.
28:50Liza, Liza, how do you feel right now?
28:53How do you feel?
28:54Pretty good, but I feel pretty disappointed that I didn't find it earlier.
28:57It was right there.
28:58Yeah, but Nayara, she had even a closer call.
29:00I know, don't look at me like that, Nayara!
29:05All in all, really, really well done, Liza.
29:07But how did the others fare, Mike?
29:09Well, it was decent. It's a tough one.
29:10Ruben got two out of ten.
29:11The other three were very, very close.
29:13Sunita and Persia both got four out of ten.
29:15And Nayara got five.
29:17So I'm actually glad I'm not the worst right now.
29:21You're welcome.
29:24Well, OK, this is a difficult task.
29:26I don't want to give anyone one point.
29:28So two points to Ruben, it was a really good attempt.
29:30Three points to Anita and Persia.
29:32Nayara, obviously four points,
29:34but the full five points has to go to Liza.
29:36Well done.
29:41Fire another task up, Mike, please.
29:43WWRHDOWTFTM.
29:47That's right.
29:48For this task, I wore my lucky What Would Robin Hood Do?
29:51or William Tell, for that matter, wristband.
29:57Wow.
29:58And I had to ask myself,
30:00would either of them have done any of this?
30:04MUSIC
30:16OK.
30:18Hello, Persia.
30:19Hello.
30:21Hello, Anita.
30:22Hi, Alex.
30:24Alex? Who's Alex?
30:26Hello.
30:28Hello, Mike.
30:29Hello, Ruben.
30:30Hello, Liza.
30:31Hello.
30:32Hello.
30:33Oh, hi.
30:34Hello, Nayara.
30:35How are you?
30:36Not good.
30:37Why not?
30:38I'm amazing.
30:39Oh, fine, fine.
30:42Right.
30:43Hit this target, this target, in the most impressive way.
30:47You have 15 minutes.
30:49Your time starts now.
31:03Right.
31:04Now, I have to ask, who is Alex?
31:09Alex Horne.
31:10Alex Horne, that's not a real name.
31:12He's very confused.
31:13So, I want to ask my head around this task.
31:16It is the most impressive way, right?
31:18It doesn't necessarily mean the most accurate shot,
31:21it just has to impress me in a way.
31:23It's an opportunity to be creative.
31:25That's exactly right.
31:26And first to impress, we have Ruben and we have Nayara.
31:30I'm going to go get stuff.
31:32What sort of things do you find impressive?
31:39Nothing.
31:41There's an umbrella on the door of the shed.
31:45No, that was quite impressive.
31:48Actually, this is going to be quite odd.
31:52Googly eyeballs.
31:53Yeah.
31:54Please let us work.
31:56Yes, it works.
31:57OK.
31:59I'm good at fighting.
32:15Nah, I want something else.
32:17Was that not good enough for you?
32:19No.
32:20Why?
32:21I'm trying to do something really impressive.
32:29This is going to be one attempt.
32:34Three, two...
32:39I think it's safe to say that this task is done.
32:43This task is done.
32:56Boo ya.
32:57Boo ya? Boo ya!
32:59Boo ya?
33:00See ya.
33:01See ya? Boo ya?
33:04See ya? Which one is it? Boo ya?
33:06Boo ya!
33:07See ya, boo ya?
33:09You all right?
33:10Sometimes you just agitate me.
33:13Bye!
33:15Bye!
33:17Wow.
33:19Impressive.
33:21That was really great from both of you.
33:23I have to say, I'm sorry that Mike
33:25left you so hanging with that booyah at the end.
33:27He really didn't understand what was going on.
33:29No, I didn't.
33:31And Ruben, of course, the googly eye on the end of the umbrella.
33:33Did you have fun doing it?
33:35Yes. Yes?
33:37I had a lot of fun doing all the tasks.
33:39That's absolutely fantastic. That's what it's all about.
33:41You're also being judged by an adult woman.
33:43LAUGHTER
33:45You got that right.
33:47Would either of you change anything if you did it again?
33:49Actually, yes.
33:51The booyah's here.
33:53What would you have said instead
33:55that would have got through to Mike?
33:57Bye.
33:59Look, I'm feeling the need to be impressed again.
34:01Mike, who was next?
34:03It's Persia and laser. OK.
34:05Ooh.
34:07Shed. Shed.
34:09Because there could be something that looks cool in the shed.
34:11Cool plus cool equals impressive.
34:13OK.
34:15Cool plus cool, so double cool, basically.
34:17Yes.
34:19Perfect.
34:21So what kind of things are cool?
34:23Er...
34:25Eggs.
34:29Oh!
34:31That went well-ish.
34:33Going to drain the egg. Yep.
34:35By egg.
34:37Then we stuff the egg
34:39with fishies,
34:41cover the egg
34:43in shaving foam... Yes.
34:45..make it look like an egg
34:47but not like an egg at the same time.
34:49The old egg-not-egg paradox.
34:51OK.
34:53If we put googly eyes
34:55on the egg... Yep.
34:57..it will make them look like a person.
34:59Eggman. Eggman.
35:01Is it going to be this egg?
35:03No. This egg?
35:05Mm-hm.
35:07The final egg.
35:09The almighty Eggman.
35:11Bam!
35:15Fishie explosion!
35:17There we go.
35:19Did you say that was double cool?
35:21Double cool, yeah.
35:23HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
35:25LAUGHTER
35:29LAUGHTER
35:35Gone.
35:37Thanks, Laser.
35:39APPLAUSE
35:43Rock out. Rock out, dude.
35:45I think I'm learning that Laser
35:47is a bit of an agent of chaos.
35:49That target was my worst enemy.
35:51Was it? How I did it was I just
35:53thought of the target as Mike's face.
35:55LAUGHTER
35:57How do you feel about when these children
35:59get so angry at you? I feel fearful.
36:01LAUGHTER
36:03Now, Persia.
36:05Cool plus cool equals impressive.
36:07Yeah. I think Mike asked what was cool
36:09and you immediately replied eggs.
36:11Eggs. What's cool about eggs?
36:13I don't understand how an egg
36:15can just turn into a chicken.
36:17LAUGHTER
36:19It's a decent point. A lot of us are taking that for granted.
36:21LAUGHTER
36:23Well, since this is Junior Taskmaster,
36:25the contestants are contractually required
36:27to have one nap time per show, and I think
36:29I'm going to join them. We'll see you after the break.
36:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
36:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
36:43Welcome back to the last part of the show.
36:45If it was a three-course meal, this would be dessert.
36:47Maybe a lovely sticky toffee pudding.
36:49Mike, shall we get two spoons and dig in?
36:51You'd better believe it.
36:53The next one to ladle up is Anita.
36:57I'm going to make a cross.
36:59I'm assuming...
37:01It's going to look like an X marks the spot!
37:03Right.
37:05You're not happy with a bullseye
37:07as something to aim at?
37:09Or, for example, a target?
37:11It's going to look like a target.
37:13I'm going to pretend that my finger's fallen off
37:15to make it look like a mess of blood.
37:17The mess of blood?
37:19Because it's a criminal's target.
37:21She's taking a dark turn.
37:23LAUGHTER
37:25OK. What's this?
37:27Let me think.
37:31Can you spray this for me, please?
37:33In a big circle there.
37:37OK, thanks. You're welcome.
37:39Now, you need to be the criminal.
37:41I'm the criminal? Yeah. What have I got to do?
37:43You need to stab it with the umbrella.
37:45And then I'll do my part. OK.
37:47This is it, is it? Yes, stab it!
37:49Stab it in the middle? Yep.
37:51Ah! My finger!
37:53CHEERING
37:57OK, bye.
37:59Stop the clock!
38:01Bye!
38:03Bye!
38:05CHEERING
38:09I don't have a finger anymore.
38:13Wow.
38:15I am not entirely sure what I just witnessed.
38:17LAUGHTER
38:19Can you talk me through your artistic process there, Anita?
38:21Please. My finger fell off.
38:23LAUGHTER
38:25So, basically, what happened is
38:27Mike was a criminal
38:29and he had the umbrella
38:31and he stabbed my finger
38:33and my finger, like...
38:35I had a hole in my finger, so it fell off.
38:37And then, since it fell off, it was all the blood.
38:39And then I don't know why I added the shaving foam.
38:41It was just fun.
38:43LAUGHTER
38:45Before you say I didn't hit the board,
38:47one thing, I did hit the board with my finger.
38:49And two, the task specifically said
38:51hit the board in the most impressive way.
38:53It didn't say YOU need to hit the board
38:55in the most impressive way.
38:57Gosh, it's always so tragic to see paranoia
38:59clutch the young minds.
39:01LAUGHTER
39:03I mean, I was impressed by each and every one of them,
39:05but there are clearly rankings to this.
39:07And I'm going to give one point
39:09to my man, Ruben, even though
39:11there was a googly eye on the end of the umbrella.
39:13One point. Two points to Laysa.
39:15It was chaotic, but it was great.
39:17But Nayara, I mean, come on.
39:19There was two cartwheels, there were some flips.
39:21Four points. Persia, I really love the backstory.
39:23Four points for Persia.
39:25But I just, I loved it. It was one of my favourite things ever.
39:27Anita, five points. Amazing.
39:29APPLAUSE
39:31Oh, my God, what has that done to the scores?
39:33At the tail end, you've got Ruben, Nayara and Laysa.
39:36They're on eight, nine and ten, respectively.
39:38In second place at the moment, we have Persia on 13.
39:41Our leader is Anita with 17 points.
39:43APPLAUSE
39:45Very close.
39:47All right.
39:49As friends, make your way over to the stage
39:51for the final task of the show.
39:53APPLAUSE
40:01OK, Woz, who will be reading our final task tonight?
40:05Persia, please, if you wouldn't mind.
40:09Sit silently with your eyes shut for 30 seconds.
40:13Then wave and smile at Rose for 30 seconds.
40:17Then lie on the floor and pretend to swim for 30 seconds.
40:22Most accurate 30-second average wins.
40:26So, you have to work out what the 30 seconds is,
40:28however you do that, and we work out who is closest to real seconds.
40:32OK. So, hopefully, that's all clear.
40:35I mean, if it isn't, then it's going to be big-time boo-boo time,
40:38isn't it, really?
40:40LAUGHTER
40:42So, you know, your time, according to yourselves, starts...
40:46..now.
40:48WHISTLE BLOWS
41:07LAUGHTER
41:16WHISTLE BLOWS
41:31LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
41:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
42:04People can open their eyes when they're white.
42:07LAUGHTER
42:10LAUGHTER
42:15APPLAUSE
42:22What are you doing for summer, Mike?
42:24Yeah, not sure.
42:26Probably staycation this year.
42:30Sometimes it's nice to say where you are, isn't it?
42:32It's nice, isn't it? Just don't need to spend that money, you know?
42:35Spot anywhere else. Yeah, yeah.
42:37Have you managed to see some old buddies over the summer?
42:41It's good to stay in touch a bit.
42:43Yeah.
42:49Yeah. OK.
42:51Who do you get...?
42:53Who's your cobbler? Who does your boots?
42:57Do you know Daniel Day-Lewis?
42:59Oh, yeah. Daniel Day-Lewis, yeah.
43:01He does a bit of acting, a bit of cobbling and stuff.
43:03Oh, he's quite good, yeah.
43:05Oh.
43:07LAUGHTER
43:09Yeah.
43:11APPLAUSE
43:13WHISTLE BLOWS
43:16Get back down here and we'll see how that all takes to the final score!
43:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
43:25Hmm.
43:27Magic. Mike, please talk me through that task.
43:29Well, for probably four out of five of them, quite tight.
43:33Yeah, sure, sure.
43:35Anita got 49.18 seconds on average.
43:38Mm-hm. Nayara got 22.65.
43:40Laser got a decent 34.14 seconds.
43:44Ruben got a pretty extraordinary 30.17 seconds.
43:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
43:56And Persia got 1 minute 20.
43:58LAUGHTER
44:00APPLAUSE
44:03So, in terms of studio task points,
44:05that, of course, means Persia gets one for that.
44:07Anita, two. Nayara, three. Laser, four.
44:09And Ruben wins the studio task with five points.
44:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:14All right.
44:16Michael, please show me the final scores, then.
44:19Well, it's just about the most exciting thing
44:21that's ever happened to me, Rose,
44:23because the runner-up and the winner will go through to the semis.
44:26I'm starting to sweat. My heart is pounding.
44:28I can feel a nosebleed coming. Are you all right?
44:30Far from it, but I do want to keep this job.
44:32LAUGHTER
44:34In fifth place, I can tell you, with 12 points,
44:37we have Nayara. Give her a hand.
44:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:41In fourth place, with 13 points, it's Ruben.
44:43Well done, Ruben. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:46We're skipping third because we're leaping up to joint second
44:49because we have a tie...
44:51Ooh!
44:52..for the runner-up place.
44:53With 14 points, that ties between Laser and Persia.
44:56Wow! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:59Which means tonight's winner is Anita!
45:05Well done, Anita. Fantastic.
45:08It, of course, also means that we've got a tie on our hands
45:12for second and third place, and that can only mean one thing.
45:15It's a tiebreaker task. What's the TBT this week, Michael?
45:18We've gone for the cold, hard cash option.
45:20Laser and Persia have to guess how much money is in my pocket.
45:24LAUGHTER
45:26The closest wins. I'm going to give you a single jangle.
45:31Are you ready for a jangle? It's going to be a faint jangle.
45:36LAUGHTER
45:39The definition of an anticlimax.
45:42If you wouldn't mind showing us, Laser,
45:44how much money you believe is in my pocket.
45:46£10. Thank you, Laser. Persia, what's your guess?
45:49£7.
45:50£7.
45:53£3.12.
45:55£3.12.
45:57Which means Persia is the tiebreaker winner
46:00and going through to the semi-final.
46:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
46:07But Anita is the winner of this show,
46:09so go on up and collect your most impressive circular pins.
46:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
46:16Wow, that was a triumph for all.
46:18I think I can safely say that I like my taskmasters
46:22like I like my Robert Downies.
46:25Let's hear it for all of our contestants
46:27and, of course, our winner, Anita!
46:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
46:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
