We forced the enormous teddy bear out of storage, into Alex's car, into Alex's house (terrifying his dog), into my car, up the M40, back down to Alex's house, & back to the #Taskmaster House.
So, after all that, the production team inevitably thought 'we should probably use this in a task'.

You can make your own Little Little Alex (or Greg) using the patterns available in Triin's online shop at below link 🧶
Tiny versions of yourself are also available (though @dralistruthers.bsky.social would like it to be noted that the Tiny Ali was a gift & she's not, in fact, an egomaniac)

These Little Little Alexes have been the School Tasking project mascot for 4 years now & are made by the unbelievably talented Triin Lane (Crafty Estonean on Instagram).
Looks like Little Little Alex is getting his 15 minutes of fame on the show tonight!

Whilst we're on the subject of #Taskmaster, our 2024-25 impact report is now available:

We're so proud of the fact that last year we worked with schools in some of the least-advantaged areas across the UK & Ireland. And the kids really enjoyed the project 🤩

We've been super quiet over the summer with the whole team having a well-earned rest, but #SchoolTasking action is ramping up once again for the start of the 2025-26 season!
Are you a university keen to find out more? Now is the time to reach out for an initial chat. It's LOTS of fun, we promise.

Have stolen this little video from the University of Warwick's social media 🏆
When Alex said the 'Taskmaster Education' day, we all know he meant 'School Tasking' day, of course... 😉
There's definitely no confusion between these two things. Nope. None at all... 😂

Ali said in her oration for his honorary doctorate that he has a unique way of making everyone feel important and valued, and you can *really* see it in action here.

We say this every year (on platforms that Alex isn't really active on, because he gets embarrassed when people say nice things about him out loud...) but he gives so much time and attention to these kids, making their day just so special ✨

Special shout out here to @philjemmett.bsky.social who, every year, takes the winning trophy from the Champion of Champions Prize Task & makes it into the real trophy for the next year of the competition.
Here is Phil with last year's trophy & the real trophy that the children won this year 🏆

Huge thanks to Kimberley @nocontextcolouring.bsky.social for generously giving us some fab colouring pdfs for our VIP area yesterday. There was a really lovely moment when the kids were all colouring in Alex's face (on the drawing page) then looked up to see the real Alex Horne at their table! 💌
