  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this episode of Taskmaster, contestants Tim and Alex are given the challenge to make the best parachute for a wooden spoon. They have ten minutes to order their materials and another ten minutes to create their parachutes. The winner will be determined by the slowest and most dramatic descent. Tim starts off by requesting various items such as string, balloons filled with helium, plastic bags, a staple gun, a slingshot, darts, and a flip chart pad. The contestants are then instructed to begin building their parachutes. Tim decides to create a dramatic descent for his parachute by incorporating a war film theme. He plans to turn his head dramatically after the spoon hits the floor. As the timer starts, both contestants scramble to construct their parachutes using the materials they have gathered. Tim expresses his uncertainty about how to make a parachute, but remains optimistic. The suspense builds as they race against the clock to complete their designs. Tim's parachute, although simple, manages to slow down the descent of the wooden spoon to some extent. The judges are impressed by the acting skills displayed during the performance, with Tim adding a backstory about a soldier on a cliff edge trying to defuse a bomb. Overall, while the parachute may not have been the most effective, Tim's dramatic approach adds an entertaining element to the challenge.
  • Subtitles section
  • Hello, Tim.
  • Hello there, Alex.
  • You ready?
  • You could have just handed it to me, you know.
  • Oh.
  • I failed it.
  • Make the best parachute for this wooden spoon.
  • You've got ten minutes to order your materials.
  • And ten minutes to make your parachute.
  • Slowest and most dramatic four wins.
  • Well, I need string.
  • Shitloads of balloons.
  • I want some balloons filled with helium.
  • How many?
  • Twenty?
  • Thirty.
  • Two plastic bags, please.
  • A hardcore staple gun.
  • Get me a slingshot.
  • Oh, and actually, in case that doesn't work, some darts.
  • Buy me a flip chart pad.
  • Would you like to start building?
  • I don't see why we would be delaying.
  • We're looking for drama and a slow descent.
  • Yep.
  • And we're going to start with a man that I know I've started to call Tim Vine.
  • basically for the drama, cos it's slowly and dramatic.
  • Mm hm.
  • When the spoon hits the floor, I'll say something.
  • I'm in character, you see, like I'm in a war film.
  • The spoon hits the floor, and then I will turn my head like this, and you're up here.
  • And I'll deliver it out there, and that'll be your drama.
  • Your time starts now, Tim.
  • Ten minutes.
  • Oh, flippers.
  • Bums on seats.
  • Oh, do me a favour.
  • I don't know how to make a parachute.
  • Right, now... I know what you're thinking.
  • If you could lower the grabber, that would be great, thank you.
  • No, Sarge!
  • What have you done?
  • Thank you.
  • The performance was incredible.
  • I mean, essentially, that was a man dropping some paper in a spoon.
  • It slowed it down a bit, right?
  • Yes, it did slow it down.
  • It did a tiny bit of that, didn't it?
  • A tiny bit, but the acting... Jesus Christ, that was moving.
  • What had Sarge done?
  • Yeah, give us some backstory.
  • Well...
  • Was on a sort of cliff edge, yeah, and he'd been trying to defuse a bomb that was hanging in a tree, okay Well, we met at mealtimes
  • And it's the moment at which he thinks he's diffused it, and he's about to jump away from the bomb, and I know that his parachute is not really going to hold him up.
  • So you accidentally caused Sarge's death?
  • Yeah.
  • Wait, so when you said, what have you done, you were talking to yourself?
  • To himself!
  • Oh!
  • Oh, my God.
  • Goosebumps.
  • And that's why, at the end, my face crumples, because it's too much for me to bear.

  • Oh, God, why is everything so stupid?
  • This is one of the most disappointing moments of my life.
  • This is doing something.
  • OK.
  • That's enough building.
  • Thank you, Alice.
  • OK.
  • What are you going to do?
  • I'm going to try and blast it dramatically out of the sky using darts and a gun, brackets, staple gun.
  • How does this work?
  • You know what?
  • It might just be better me going with a stick, dart on a stick.
  • This already feels more dramatic.
  • Are you ready?
  • Yes.
  • It does work.
  • It made me jump.
  • It made me jump, too.
  • I was embarrassed about jumping.
  • OK.
  • Thank you, Asim.
  • Thank you, Alex.
  • Oh, my God.
  • Thank you, Alice.
  • Thank you.
  • Well, Asim, first things first.
  • I got the impression, once you got the balloons that you requested, that you didn't really know how balloons work.
  • As you can see from my previous cream filled thing, me and balloons don't get along that well.
  • But it was floating down nicely, and then you chucked it back up.
  • No, I...
  • I was trying to pop more as it was happening and then it got stuck and... Yeah.
  • But if anything, that added to the dramatic nature of the whole piece.
  • Yeah.
  • He ended up falling from a greater height than when he started.
  • Yeah.
  • Alice's one?
  • Beautiful.
  • I mean, honestly, that's one of the coolest things I think I've ever seen, Alice's.
  • Yeah.
  • I mean... Thank you.
  • It was amazing, right?
  • Wow, and you watch things like Snooker.
  • Oh, all the time.
  • Here are the last two attempts in one go.
  • It's Lisa and Russell.
  • Right.
  • Let's do this.
  • You've got ten minutes, Russell.
  • Sweet.
  • So I'm after a square here.

  • Oh, you bastard.
  • So something hideous has gone on here.
  • Look, it's splashed with drama.
  • One last bit.
  • Oh, God.
  • Do you need a wee, Russell?
  • No.
  • You prick!
  • I'm just going to have to salitate this bastard.
  • I mean, it looks like the most basic Donald Trump puppet.
  • You can pull it back by making it dramatic with powerful music.
  • So imagine that spoon is going to land in the middle of an island where there's a load of deserted guides, girl guides, and this is the first spoon they've seen in four days.
  • When do I start the music?
  • Now.
  • Not that, mate.
  • For fuck... These girls are starving.
  • Better.
  • Look!
  • A spoon!
  • A spoon in the skies!
  • We're saved, brown owl!
  • Thank you, Russell.
  • See you, mate.
  • Let's get the flame established on the sparkler to add a bit more drama.
  • What's the code word for drop?
  • I think I might just say drop.
  • OK.
  • Wow!
  • Can't be beat.
  • Can't be beat.
  • I might just roll in with the lads.
  • Thank you, Lisa.
  • OK, well, I'm not going to criticise the parachute.
  • That doesn't need doing.
  • I'm intrigued by the fact that these girl guides... Yeah.
  • ..am I right in thinking that they will starve to death unless they have cutlery?
  • Listen, these girls are so particular.
  • They're middle class girls.
  • They are upper class.
