Bäst i test (2017–2022): Season 2, Episode 8 - Thomas Petersson gästar - full transcript

Bäst i test (English: Best in Test) is a Swedish comedy programme based on the British show Taskmaster (2015). It has been broadcast on SVT since spring 2017. The show features four fixed panellists per series, along with one guest per episode, who all compete in odd competitions, judged by Barbro 'Babben' Larsson and assisted by David Sundin.

Yes!

-Ouch!
-Idiocy!

The brain!

Time’s up.

Welcome to Bäst i Test! The program that tests
our competitors on how they work under stress.

Tonight is the last program
of the season, the grand finale!

We’ll add up all the points.

And someone on the panel
will lift the trophy!

My bust in gold! We don't know who
it will be, but it will be one of these:

Cake blaster Erik Ekstrand!

Super slider Marika Carlsson!



Treadmill saboteur Ola Forssmed!

Soul artist Ellen Bergström!

Our guest tonight is dad's dad
Thomas Petersson! [actor-comedian]

-Oh, how handsome!
-Oh oh oh! Merengue.

-Welcome. - Welcome, Thomas.
-Thanks.

-Nice shirt.
-It’s new.

-Were the tasks fun?
-Yes, fun and stressful.

-A little hard?
-Yes, nervous.

But it was fun.

Can you summarize your
mood in two words?

-Grief band.
-Yes.

-Marika?
-Confused. Always confused.

-That’s two words. - Erik?
-Somewhat festive.

-That was many words. - Ellen?
-Yes...



-Your mood?
-Good.

Not many people managed to pick
two words, but they’re excited.

Here’s the one who sums up the points
and keeps us organized - David Sundin!

-What a guy!
-Thanks.

-You're fine.
-It's the finale!

It’s as if you’ve merged the Nobel Prize
and Mästarnas Mästare. [SVT reality show]

-Or...?
-We should not exaggerate.

-What's the first task?
-It's a bit of a scale task.

Hi.

Hi.

-Yes?
-Yes.

Is that the castle now?

-Or? No?
-Right. Like we usually do.

- “Gain as much weight as possible."
- "Biggest increase wins."

- "You have 10 minutes."
- "Your time begins now."

We weighed the competitors in advance.
Then it was about gaining the most.

This is my event.
I would win.

-We'll see how it went.
-Yes.

Water, I think.

I'll just get one thing.

You’re welcome. Cheers.

But please ...

-Okay...
-Yes.

Hello.

One uses only 30% of
their potential weight.

We get more down.

Can you sit on my shoulders?
No, my back can’t take it.

I’ve got an idea.

RATTLING

Is it going well?

-Can I use you?
-Yes.

I'm standing on the scales.
It's smarter.

Wait, I'll hold the table.
Now. I'll have balance, too.

Something sweet after the food.

-No.
-That’s enough.

-Standard packing for Roskilde.
-Welcome up.

I do this.

-Can you see the weight?
-Yes.

-64.2.
-Thanks.

-Jump up on my back.
-Can you hold this?

Now we weigh like Ellen Bergström.

-Can you come down a little?
-No.

Now...

You see for yourself what numbers!
What numbers!

Hello, mom and dad! I'm on TV!

Yes ... What did you think
about your respective strategies?

Everyone did it well.
We maintained dignity.

Ola was brilliant
at using the table.

-Think you could keep everything up.
-He's so smart.

-Were you on your knees?
-No, on my feet.

-No!
-Yes!

-He is strangely bent.
-Aren't your hands on the floor?

-Here's how I do it.
-Nice!

- So I never do.
-He sounded like this: "Uh ..."

-How does it look?
-We shall see.

- One point for Ellen - 35kg.
- It was good.

Erik gained 37.1kg
and gets two points.

-Marika gets three points - 72.2kg.
-Yes!

Thomas gained 74.6kg.

Five points for Ola,
who gained 101.1kg!

-Drat!
-Oh oh oh!

-Uh-oh!
-I take the lead right away!

-Shouldn't we measure percentages?
-No.

What are we competing for
on the final night?

Well, the season winner wins this
bust and can take it home.

But tonight's winner takes home
the pot from tonight's prize task.

-What do they have with them tonight?
-Cash.

-Cash?
-Yes, a bag of cash.

-The one who brought the most wins.
-Exciting.

-We start with Ola.
-Gladly.

-Where are you going?
-He's going to get a cart.

Nah ... Oh.

- What does it contain, then?
- Just money.

-Should I show it?
-Yes, thank you.

-What’s it worth?
-It's 200 kronor. [US$21.01]

-Marika?
-I'm not as dastardly as he is.

-Oh oh oh!
-It's so bad!

Here you will see. 20, 40 ...

-It will be a lot.
-It should be 100 kronor. [US$10.50]

-Mom sent another twenty.
-But you bought sweets.

I'm more of a gambler.
I want to hold Babben’s bust.

-Right attitude.
-Oh!

It’s not 600 kronor, but 603.
[US$63.34] We go all in.

-603 kronor.
-It's been noted.

-Good. - And Erik?
-Yes...

-I have a bag with a hundred.
-What a dissapointment.

-And Ellen?
-Oh...

-It's not Swedish money.
-No, these are from Sri Lanka.

If you count it all, it's 153.

-153 Swedish kronor? [US$16.07]
-And a few euros.

Most interesting coins do not earn
points, but the highest total does.

Who wins the prize task?

Five points go to Thomas,
who brought the most money.

Ola had 200 kronor
and gets four points.

Then we have Ellen
with 153 kronor.

-Two points for Erik and Marika
for 100 kronor. -Yes.

So what we are competing for tonight is
a prize pool of 1,156 kronor! [US$121.42]

-Oh!
-Incredibly exciting!

Yes.
Should we show the scores?

Ola and Thomas are in the lead
with 9 points each.

Marika is in second place, and
Erik and Ellen share last place.

-That’s good.
-Exciting!

-What’s the next task?
-Now it's time for hole-filling.

-A potato.
-Yes.

-"Put the potato in the hole."
-"Don't touch the mat."

"You have 10 minutes."

"Your time begins now."

The potato goes into the hole
without touching the mat.

-Who do we start with?
-We look at everyone except Thomas.

-Time!
-What? I have a headache.

No! How close it was! A stick!

What if it had gone in?
It would be a good time.

Yes!

That you didn't move it.

-Fastest wins.
-Is that so?

What else would it be?

Oh! The brightest in town!

Look!

What do I do? I thought
I was good at this.

-I could have done it faster.
-You think so? -Perhaps.

-Fast!
-Uh-oh...

It was good.

-Ellen, you didn't have a good day.
-I got it in.

-But it was a little heavy.
-I had a headache.

-Have you trained for Bäst i Test?
-Yes ... no.

-We have saved the best for last.
-Absolutely: Thomas.

Not long enough, but
there might be more.

There must be more.

Yes!

Oh...

Huh?!

Oh, okay.

You can reach the hole now?

Yes!

Good work.

-Was it the wind that blew it?
-Yes.

So the idea was right.
But I didn't touch the mat.

-Yes.
-With your shoe.

-Did you miss the zoom?
-Then...

Although nature blew the mat,
you blew with the leaf blower anyway.

I wanted to get rid
of it some more.

But you had the worst idea, the
longest time, and you touched the mat.

-Oh, Thomas ...
-But it was outside the box.

-What did we get for results?
-Yes...

Thomas touched the mat,
so he gets zero points.

Ellen - 2 min 28 sec. Two points.
Ola - 1 min 43 sec. Three points.

Marika - 45 sec. Four points.
Erik - 25 sec. Five points.

Oh oh oh!
The brain is back! The brain!

-I want to see the next task.
-Here's the place to take a seat.

Good day.

-Hello.
-Hello. There...

I didn't see it.

But...

"Spread four of your possessions
as far and wide as possible."

- "Use things you wear now."
- "Farthest and widest wins."

- "You have 30 minutes."
- "Your time begins ..."

Now.

It was about spreading four
possessions that you had.

One would create as large
an area as possible.

-Who do we start with?
-Let's take Thomas first.

Then I’ll do that.

Let's see...

I have plenty of time.

Where did he go?

-There.
-One, two, three ... There's the house.

-You have to orient yourself, too.
-Yes.

You don’t want to get lost.

So there.

Finished! I hope...

Smart. You took advantage of the yard
to the max and spread out your stuff.

-Good strategy. -What do you think?
-It was alarming.

It indicates that I was thinking differently.

-How big an area was it?
-We'll show the graphic.

-Here we have the yard.
-Yeah, it's from above.

Thomas spread his stuff
over 2,876 square meters.

Very good. Good work.

-Who do we take now?
-Marika, Ola and Erik.

-30 minutes?
-Yes.

It must lie there.
Just start jogging.

I'll start here. Can you help?

Let's go.

What a pain!

Are you free?

ENGINE COUGHS

Oh...

ENGINE COUGHS

Can you ride a bike here?
This is sick.

-Did you go to university?
-Yes, in Iraq.

I plugged in Skövde.

I'll leave a sock.

Here! It wasn't here.

Now I take the length.

80% of the body is muscle.

I'm good at driving a manual car.

I'm hot.

Here I get to dump a sock.

Here.

Now we continue the journey.

So!

Park there.

Come on!

Embassy of Latvia.
Now we have been here. Clear!

Here we stop.
I’ll put this.

I own the pants.

Ouch! We'll see if
they have scissors.

There's a pair of scissors there.
No one’s at home, huh? Is anyone home?

It feels unstructured, impulsive,
and quite messy.

Large car, manual transmission.

It feels a bit confusing,
but still good.

One thing over there
and three here - perfect!

Number 60. It's almost like I
want to vomit. Damn it, so heavy.

Yes...

-Ola, don't you have a driver's license?
-Yes.

-But you didn't use it?
-No...

I saw a child's bike.

-Yes.
So I borrowed it.

It was like stealing
candy from a child.

-Eric, you felt victorious.
-Yes. Thank you for asking.

Why did you choose
the Embassy of Latvia?

It is important to link the Baltic countries
and the Nordic countries together.

-Absolutely.
-It’s a shared heritage.

-And donate clothes.
-Yes, and do a good thing.

-Don't just go into people's yards.
-No.

-How big an area was it?
-We check the graphics.

Let's see how it went
for Ola and his bike ride.

70,940 square meters. Good work.

-On a children's bike!
-Yes, a stolen children's bike.

-Nice!
-We take a look at Marika.

She took a van and drove around.

-243,021 square meters!
-Yes. Automatic.

Then we have Erik. He took a taxi.

He put a thing at the house-

and three things in the same place.

-They're a little apart.
-Absolutely.

But it turned out to be a ribbon.

A 2,380 square meter strip,
you might say.

Erik was worse than Thomas,
who didn't even leave the yard.

-What did the taxi trip cost?
-But...

But I linked the Nordic regions.

After all, 1,156 kronor are at stake.
Now let's see what Ellen was up to.

I can't go ...

Oh ... These are two things.

Socks.

Bye.

I'll start here.
Should I drive a bus?

I need a GPS.
I need to have my cellphone.

I need to have my mobile.
I'm all over.

I'm pissed, too.

What is a possession?

I can send a photo to someone
in the USA, a photo I own.

It's a possession, after all.
Stop in the name of the team.

Maybe I should focus on Sweden.

We start with the shoelace.
Kalle Rydberg is in Helsingborg.

-He gets this picture.
-Smart.

One in Karlstad gets a stocking. Now we
have Helsingborg, Karlstad, Stockholm.

Then my sister in Vingåker
gets a picture of ...

I take my shoe short.

I've spread out my possessions-

- in a very innovative and modern way.

I just ... spread them out.

In other words...

-How big was Ellen's area?
-We go back to the graphic.

We're leaving.

Four billion ...

4,446,264,000 square meters.

-In other words...
-It was brilliant.

-But it is not approved.
-What?

-Well, then!
-Boo!

It had to be something you wore
when you read the letter.

-Marika did not wear ...
-She had the clothes she spread out.

-Me too!
-You didn't have the cellphone on you.

-I don't like this.
-I love it!

Superb verdict!

-Is Ellen disqualified? [washed]
-Yes, washed like a clean plate.

-Oh yeah.
-Let's see...

Marika wins the five points!

-Four points go to Ola.
-Yes.

Three points for Thomas, two for Erik,
and zero points for Ellen.

Now I feel smart.
This is big.

Tonight the winner will go home
with a gold bust of me.

It's worth competing for.
But now comes the ”Middle of the Program".

We'll take the pulse of tonight's guest.

Unfortunately, the assignment went
to my business partner, David Sundin.

-You’re welcome. -I'm sorry.
-Thanks thanks. Nice.

Then we'll see ... Thomas. How...

-Thomas Petersson?
-It’s pronounced "Pettersson".

-Pettersson?
-Yes.

-It is spelled with a "T".
-Yes.

-Then you can write as it sounds.
-Yes, but that's not right.

-Babben is not spelled "Baben”.
-No.

It happens.

-People should be called what they are.
-It’s my name after all.

Now it's time for "Peta pet"!

Peta pet, peta pet

Peta pet
Yes - peta, peta, peta pet

-Woohoo!
-Yes!

Now it's time for "Peta pet".
Thomas, come and read the letter.

So happy.

-“Knock over the PET bottle."
[polyethylene terephthalate]

"You must not lift your butt
off the couch or throw anything."

"Fastest knockdown wins.
Time begins with David's signal "

You have to keep your butt on the
couch. You must not throw anything.

-What counts as a couch?
-The one you’re sitting on.

Can I bring the cushion with me?

-Can we move the couch?
-No.

There is no other way than
using the stuff on the table.

They knock over
the bottle with them.

Everyone's bottles are
at the same distance.

If you have ... If you knock
over someone else's bottle ...

Then you’re out immediately.

-Any questions?
-No.

Your time begins now.

-This is strong stuff.
-Tape usually solves everything.

Marika makes a straw string.

-It looks more like a necklace.
-It's getting too soft.

Ola builds a kite,
which he will fly.

-You knock down my stuff.
-All the bottles are left.

-Thomas makes an attempt.
-No!

-Don't do it, Thomas!
-We love you!

-It didn’t work.
-It was close.

Here comes Marika again.
- But Marika ...

Now Thomas tries again.
He touches the bottle.

You can play this
at home while we wait.

Get a bottle, straws, and tape.

-No!
- Yes!

Come on! Who will get four points?

-Erik goes in for ...
-No!

-No!
-Everyone is fighting for three points.

-No!
-Come on, Ellen!

-Yes!
-Three points for Ellen.

-No!
-He has his tail in it.

-Now...
-Check!

Marika gets zero points
and Ola two points!

So it goes!

Peta pet
Peta, peta, peta pet

-How are the scores?
-Yes...

Thomas gets five points, Erik four,
Ellen three, Ola two, and Marika zero.

I want to have a year.
What do you have to offer?

We do a simple task.
It's about bringing a bun to me.

Oh no! This is so awful!

A bun!

"Take the bun to David
in as few steps as possible."

"Your time begins with David's signal."

Where is David, then?

Where is he?

Where is David?

Over there!

What did it say?
Well, I'm not going to eat it.

One would get the bun 100 meters away
to me in as few steps as possible.

But before we start, we must
define what a step is.

It is to move with the center
of gravity on the sole of the foot.

-Crystal clear. Who do we start with?
-Erik, Ellen and Ola.

I haven't taken a single step yet.
If I crawl, do I take steps?

Erik comes out on the far side.

He's got up to speed.
He goes around the track.

I'm going to get dirty.

The training has worked. It’s not
thought that coronary vessels give up.

Damn it!

Kids don't take their
first steps when they crawl.

Damn it.

He stops and pulls up his pants.
He's got the wrong track suit.

Ouch! Maybe I can use
the bun for protection.

That’s good.

The bun hasn't touched
the ground, has it?

What?
I ...

-Was it on the note?
-No, I’m craving a bun.

You're probably not craving my bun.
No, how disgusting that sounded.

Here he comes with a
bun of God's grace.

I feel like a dog.

-Thanks.
-Have a nice meal.

Thanks.

-We are in goal!
-Thanks.

-It hasn't been on the ground, has it?
-No...

What you talked about all the time, Erik.
You were like a commentator.

-Didn't you get an extra assignment?
-Yes!

Erik had to comment on himself
in the third person.

-Yes.
-We were worried about silence.

I understand that.
It's always a mattern of concern.

-Ola, you rushed forward on your butt.
-Yes.

-Was it wet?
-No, it was pretty nice.

-You got to scrape ...
-Exactly. I became very clean.

-Who are we looking at now?
-Now we look at ... Thomas.

"Your time begins with David's signal."

I probably could have
taken a step ...

But I didn’t.

I want to look at everyone before
I make a definitive judgment.

Show the next one.

"The smallest number of steps wins.
Your time begins with David's signal."

-Thanks.
-You’re welcome.

I realize now that
I should have run more.

Thanks anyway.

-No...
-You just went.

Then I came upon ...

"I could have rolled!"

But I just took steps.

-But they were big steps.
-Yes.

-What are the points?
-Erik, Ellen and Ola took no steps.

-No, no steps.
-Thomas was the fastest.

Whether you think it was a step
or not ... that's the question.

Was it a step or a jump?

-We talked about the sole of the foot.
-Yes, the sole of the foot and weight.

-Yes, the soles of your feet.
-No...

-As few steps as possible.
-There are no steps without hope.

-Asking the jury is foolish.
-Yes.

-Let’s ask the silly judge.
-Silly?

I think this ... We should have
a vote. Thomas, go out.

-Now you can breathe.
-What a dark mood.

Is he out? - Those who think it
was a step, raise a hand.

No...

Anyone who doesn't think so,
raise a hand.

-No, it wasn't a step.
-Says the runner!

-David, figure this out carefully.
-Good.

-Then we can let Thomas in again.
-Thomas, come on in.

We have voted, and concluded
that it counted as a step.

-How many steps did it take?
-The others thought it was a step.

-Not all.
-No, not everyone.

-Okay.
- ome were on your side.

Marika took 101 steps,
and Thomas 89 steps.

-Oh, that was good! What a thrill!
-89 steps!

Marika gets one point, Thomas
two points, Ellen three points-

-Ola four points,
and Erik five points.

Yes! Bull boy from Sveg!

Now we have arrived at the final
task of the season in the house.

-Sorry, huh?
-Yes.

-For me it's extra sad.
-But you’ll stay in the shed this summer.

-Oh!
-How cozy!

"Surprise David when he
comes out of the shed.”

"He'll be out in 60 minutes."

"Whoever surprises David the most wins."
“Your time starts now.”

I have an hour.

David goes into the shed.
What should I do?

Can you rivet him?
No. A good surprise ...

It was about surprising me
as much as possible.

-You sat in the shed for five hours.
-Let's see ... Yes.

So brave. Who do we start with?

We start by looking
at Erik's surprise.

Come on. What a day!

You can stand here.
Take this, and press the button.

- Should I hold it?
- Just press it.

There we have it.
You feel that you are alive!

-It was good speed.
-You can go back into the shed.

Lovely!

That was Erik's contribution.
- What theme did you have this time?

It was little "Apocalypse Now".
An early morning - blast something!

-Okay. - Were you surprised?
-Yes ... I wasn't prepared.

I got a little scared. But why
did I go back into the shed?

-Maybe to change your pants.
-He told you.

-Who will we see now?
-Marika.

♫ Make someone happy

-Wow.
-Yes.

-Welcome. It's kids’ night.
-Yes.

-You didn't have to ...
-Aren’t you happy about the pizza?

-A shrimp pizza.
-It's your favorite pizza.

-No, I wouldn't say that.
-What’s your favorite, then?

This one’s better.

Also better. This one, too.

Well, that was the worst.
Don't take it, then.

-What a surprise!
-Yes.

Should we have some dancing?

♫ Do as you did when
you were little

♫ and don't forget what you have

-You loaded up a pizza buffet.
-Yes, exactly.

I did it with a lot of love,
and with a focus on you.

-Were you surprised?
-Yes ... No.

-I got full.
-Yes.

I ate pizza when I got home,
and then I wasn't surprised either.

It's not a big deal.

-But we had a nice kids’ night.
-Yes.

-Then we take the next surprise.
-We'll take a look at Ellen.

-Hello.
-Hello! Welcome!

-You’re welcome.
-Thanks.

-Here's a portrait of you.
-Wow! Indeed, it is.

-Cheers for the surprise.
-Cheers. Unbelievable!

-Was it a good surprise?
-I was quite surprised.

Partly because she stayed
there for so long-

-and partly because she
had to paint the painting.

But I look like a
serial killer on the canvas.

-It wasn't very flattering.
-Your past caught up with you.

-Who are we taking now?
-Now it's Thomas.

-Happy birthday!
-Is it my birthday?

-Yes, don’t you know?
-No. I thought it was in May.

-But ... What a bang.
-Yes.

Thanks.

This is where things happened.
Did you have a theme?

Yes, it was a dream come true.

Babben, the fireworks, and
his favorite movie, “Jaws”.

-Everything he likes.
-Yes...

-Do we have anyone left?
-Yes. Last out is Ola.

Woo hoo!

Imagine life is a sea,
and you are a boat.

There will be reefs and islands.

You are a guy who brushes off
and keeps moving forward.

It has made us very happy.

It's your day, and we're
here to celebrate you.

Now let's go! Music!

♫ I've had the time of my life
♫ Well, I've never felt this way before

[The “studentflak” is a graduation party
in which students ride in the back ...

... of a truck decorated with a cheeky
slogan, with alcohol, dancing, and shouting.]

♫ Yes, I swear it's the truth
♫ And I owe it all to you

♫ 'Cause I've had the time of my life

♫ And I searched
through every open door

♫ 'til I found the truth

♫ And I owe it all to you

Yes ... David, were you surprised?

There was an incredibly high volume
on the students when they came out.

It was a surprise to my eardrums.

I never had a studentflak,
so I was a little touched.

And Ola gave a nice speech.

-So you graduated?
-Yes.

You learn something
new every day.

-The pizza party gets one point.
-Yes.

Thomas gets two points
for the fireworks in the grill.

Ellen gets three points for the
painting with mass murderer quality.

Erik gets four points.

-You owe me a bush.
-Absolutely.

Ola gets five nice points! Good work!

-What does that mean for the scores?
-Let’s see.

Ellen has 15 points.
Marika has 17 points.

Thomas has 21 points.
Erik has 24 points, and Ola leads!

-Ola!
What?

Incredibly cool, as we compete
for 1,156 kronor!

-You can win.
-Oh my God!

-But don't forget ... -Anything can
happen, and everything can turn around.

-For now we have reached the finale.
-The finale.

The finale is a real classic.

Are you ready?
Erik, read the letter aloud.

“Stand up after 100 seconds.
Closest to 100 seconds win."

"Time starts on David's signal."

Questions?
-No.

Your time begins now.

After 100 seconds you should get up.
Whoever comes closest wins.

What season have we had, huh?
What a season!

Do you remember the karate guy?
He was festive.

Our five competitors will be up
after 100 seconds. I'm 41 years old.

It's a little exciting.
After 100 seconds you get up.

We'll see who comes closest.
Maybe it is now?

It may have taken 100 seconds.

Thomas takes a chance.
It may have been there somewhere.

-Or not.
-Do you remember when we slipped, Ellen?

-Oh, now we're going. Nice to stand.
-Interesting.

-Marika arrives shortly thereafter.
-It was perfect.

-We'll see ... Oh!
-Close!

It was at the same time, but we’ll
check that in the control room.

Come and sit on the couches,
then we’ll measure and count.

Now it's exciting.
The times have been counted.

Now we wonder how things
have gone in the program.

In the final, which
we just experienced ...

-Thomas got up after 71 seconds.
-71 ...

-Eric got up after 88 seconds.
-What a great time!

Then we have three people who
are within five seconds of each other.

Ola and Ellen both got up
after 105 seconds.

The winner got up after 99 seconds!
Marika Carlsson!

-Five points!
-You are worth it!

-Good, Marika!
-Thanks!

Five points for Marika,
four for Ola and Ellen-

- two points for Erik,
and one for Thomas.

And what happens when
you add the points?

-Say it!
-Who won the final program?

In this program
we have a second place.

That's Erik, at 26 points.

But at 31 points,
Ola Forssmed wins!

-Yes!
-What?!

-You win 1156 kronor!
-Oh my God!

-He gets it.
-Oh my God! All that?

But now we will decide who
has won Bäst i Test 2018.

-God...
-We have compiled all the programs.

Then we put it together with the final.
Wonder who has the most points?

The winner of Bäst in Test 2018 is ...

-Erik Ekstrand!
-Yes!

-Yes!
-So yes.

How heavy it is!

-Yes!
-You'll get the money, Ola.

What have we learned tonight?

Well, a line is not a good square.

A pizza is rarely a surprise,
and our master is Erik Ekstrand!
