He was an architect, an ambulance driver AND an archer. A true renaissance man

paul taking 42 minutes for this task is genuinely impressive

His emphatic nodding and shaking made this for me.

"Paul said the word 'doctor' 63 times, he made 15 sexual references, and he swore 23 times." _"...15 sexual references?!"_ 🤣

Dave might not have won, but I found it impressive how Dave was the only contestant who got to the right answer without first asking the question "are you a doctor?" and then narrowing it down through types of doctors from there.

Dr Hugh completely cracking up laughing at 2:26 to Paul's reaction is pure gold. It probably took him 21 minutes to get to that point.

"Did you ever get involved with the nurses" -> Strategic cut away from the doctor. The doctor did definetly do some dabbling with the nurses 😆

I think we all need to give props to the Dr. for being able to do the opposite of what he would instinctively do.,

"Is everyone getting someone dressed as their future self?" is one of the most underrated quotes of all time

This is interesting but every time he nods I believe him for a second. The nodding is fucking with my head lol

Finally, the uncensored version of Paul's outburst 👌🏻

i dont know whats more impressive, the fact that al got it in 2 minutes, or that it took paul 42 minutes to get it, thats 21x als time.

1:33 That was some lightning-fast work to throw Alex’ face back onto the big screen immediately.

Alex's dad is great. You can deffinitely see the resemblance!

The statistics on Paul’s attempt always kill me

Once woke up from a surgery and asked the nurses for a lemonade ice cream, they laughed, grabbed one knowingly from the staff freezer and a sick bucket. Apparently their newbie anaesthetist had been making people wake up wanting lemonade ice cream the entire day. I threw up after the first bite, apparently the same as the last 6 people

"He can only lie, but we can ask yes or no questions, so the fact that he's lying is literally irrelevant."

Was Rob technically cheating when he asked Alex's dad to mime his job? When the task specifically says that "the gentleman can only nod or shake his head."

Al Murray is not only genuinely fantastic in his delivery and structure but he's ridiculously clever and will forever be one of my favourite comedians of all time.

@3:05 The vigorous nod to “Dr. pepper”

Now I want to watch Paul's 42 minute un-edited version 😂

The "did your job begin with a letter a" was a good approach. I would just carry on with 2nd 3rd and so on letters.

A rare 1st place by Al Murray that didn't require a payment!

I too didn't know that in the UK they're called anaesthetists instead of anesthesiologists

Someone in Hollywood SURELY must feel that doctor Hugh is the perfect cast for a certain role??? The facial expression is absolutely class😂

Looks way more like future Dave than Alex, same eyes, beard and even wearing the same shirt 😂

Your dad is an amazing piece of observation. I also sort of felt he was related to Horne.

If the guy can only answer yes/no questions, the 'can only lie' restriction becomes rather trivial.

Dr Hugh losing it when Paul told Alex to fuck off was really funny hahaha

Poor Dr Hugh's head must have been ready to fall off after 42 mins of nodding his head

My favorite part is that he made his eyes say yes too 🤣 very confusing

I swear I expected one of them to accidentally get it right on the first question just out of the blue

I love that at 2:24 the guy bursts out laughing.

I would pay to watch the 42 minutes Paul took to find the answer

That man made a living by sitting in the chair for 63 hours straight and only lying

Were you in the NHS? Nods “no” Me, a non-Brit: He was in the secret service?!

Horne's dad looks amazing for 83.

Dr Hugh seemed to be having a laugh at the contestants, especially Rob and Paul

That guy being able to remember to nod the opposite answer is impressive in and of itself.

I was actually looking for this task yesterday, going through the full episodes to search for it. Thank you for uploading, Taskmaster mind-readers!

After asking for the first letter, I'm surprised he didn't asked for the rest of the letters. They definitely could have brute forced it by asking the number of letters then asking for each letter. They of course doesn't need all letters as even three letters would make the job easy to guess.

2:22 the tone of his voice kills me 😂

I hope they picked someone with a job beginning with A on purpose incase someone started guessing random jobs in alphabetical order

Can't believe nobody asked him if he could only tell lies.

This man has done every job

Favourite taskmaster clip/task so far. This, that, what? Win.

I remember from Swedish Taskmaster where one contestant continued guessing _after_ guessing the correct answer

3:30 We need the response. Did he get involved with the nurses or not?

What a talent guy, being a doctor of all these things

Bless the algorithm for recommending this video so I could be reminded and watch all of the others that I haven’t seen yet!

Anestesiologist for us. Last time I went to the hospital he was INSANELY professionsal. The whole team came by prior to the surgury on my leg, the Anestesiologist stayed behind and spoke with me about my medical history. The next morning before I went into surgury all of the medical team came into my aurgury prep room and spoke with me. the surgeon signed my leg after asking the same questions as everyone else. What is your name, your birthday, who is the president(other making sure your present questions) and then asked me to describe the surgury I was Having. The Anestesiologist did the same thing but stuck around for a while and told me he took my file home and did research on my super rare genetic disorder and wanted me to know he informed his team on the complications that may arrise due to this so he was prepared and prepared "his team" for anything to make sure I stay alive, which was super cool. I do know several of the surgury techs who saw my name and tried to visit before I went under but were unable to get a gap in surgury to see me, which was alright I saw them afterwords.

"If I asked you whether the overlord on my left is Arr, would you answer 'Ozo?'"

In the US, we call them Anesthesiologists, which I honestly find easier to say.

I fully expected Moneybags Murray to have somehow bribed the former doctor.

In the Swedish version of Taskmaster, the unknown man is a gardener dressed as an old karate guy! Crazy fun to watch 😁

would have been funny if he was a doctor in the sense that he had a phd (like in physics or some other non medical area) and they would have just guessed types of medical doctors for ages.

i was expecting it to be like a PhD but in something random

His smug, warm nods "yes" with every wrong guess has me dying. 😂💀

Today I learned British people have a different word for anesthesiologist that none of them know how to pronounce.😂😂

The expressions he decided to make when nodding were just too good

Enjoyed this so much

These were the best episodes

For some reason, I feel like Lee Mack would’ve made this particular episode an absolute fucking riot!

One of the best seasons.

2:25 the old guy started laughing

By all technicalities, the anesthetist made a mistake, didn’t he? Wasn’t it that he had to respond with a nod or head shake? But when Rob asked if he could mime his job, he both complied and did the truth. Did he just want to get out that badly😂

He gets offended everytime someone guesses nurse

I really wanted the guy to say "Nice to meet you" at the beginning.

Paul's swearing outburst when asked what type of doctor Dr Hugh was was absolutely hilarious and unprecedented

Ah rip, I was gonna say "What is not your occupation" since he can only lie, he would have to give me the answer. But sadly, only shaking and nodding makes that way harder. In the end it just the opposite of answering.

6:40 when you decide to brute force and the first attempt is correct.

Anaesthetists do give off a certain vibe.

I can‘t believe Paul sat there with the guy for 42 minutes??

Don’t know why, but the contradictory nods and facial expressions always wig me out 😅

They're making "Anesthesiologist" seem easy to pronounce by comparison.

At 2:26, you can see Hugh cracking up after Paul's reaction to Alex's 'what sort of doctor?'. LOL

I was going nuts over how everyone was saying anesthesiologist wrong until I looked up that anesthetist is, in fact, another word for the same thing. Weirdly in this case the longer word with more syllables feels easier to remember, spell, and pronounce than the shorter one. 🤨

“I have a cousin who’s Anastasia.”

I'm genuinely upset nobody immediately asked him, "Will you answer this question truthfully?"

I learned from this video that the British refer to his job as an anesthetist, whilst in the states, his job is referred to as an anesthesiologist, and a nurse anesthetist is a nurse that would cooperate with an anesthesiologist. I was moderately confused as in the states, the doctor himself is an anesthesiologist, and the man makes a clear point to specify that he is in fact a doctor, not a nurse.

There’s a clip I saw of No More Jockeys in which Alex refers to his dad as “Dr. Hugh Horne”- we got your number, Little Alex Horne!

So he's an amethyst then

2.26 "Oh, for fuck´s sake"- and the good doctor bursts out lauging. :D Hehe.

He's a man of many occupations xD

Nice to see they got the ‘twins’ back

They got skills for real

if he can only lie then hes obviously a lawyer

Is no one going to talk about the fact Alex said 8s and 2minutes when announcing al's time?

Always wondered what Michael Rosen got up to when he wasn't writing poems.

He really looks like the man in the newish Halifax adverts.

Oh My God ! I love the stats !

The old man went home that night completely unsure of what type of life he lived….he got to achieve all his life goals except his dream of being an Anistas-Enish-Anistitist…Antithesis…

Al is like that student who doesn't study but gets the highest score.

They quickly cut away after "Did you ever get involved with the nurses?" :-)

Kind of frustrating to see them throw a hundred doctors at the poor man instead of asking for rough categories. "Did you specialise in a bodypart? A type of person? A procedure?" and then go from there.

I like the fact that the stipulation that he can only lie is actually completely pointless, given he can also answer only yes or know. EDIT: Nine months later, I realise I typed 'know' instead of 'no'. I'm gonna leave it, though, as a testament to my stupidity.

I like how Rob found out he was a doctor, then asked him if he was captain Birdseye!

Alex shook his head when he said nod, and nodded when he said shake.

This is just the exact same as finding out what he is by asking questions. Nod just means no instead of yes.

"did your job begin with the letter 'a'"
