Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must bring in the coolest blue thing, rescue a cat from a tree, conceal a pineapple on their person, construct something for the Taskmaster, and build a tower from potato products. Also, four of the contestants get to write their own tasks for the fifth, who then has to guess who wrote each of them.

Title context

'Welcome to Rico Face' is how Jon Richardson introduced the make-up tutorial video he created in response to Katherine Parkinson's task, during the 'Set a task / Guess who set the tasks' task.

    Taskmaster's Sign-off

    But what have we learnt today? Well, we've learnt if you want to the normally brilliant Richard Osman to do badly, invite his children to the audience. And if you want Joe Wilkinson to do badly, just watch any episode. Congratulations to our winner, Doc Brown! Thank you, everybody, and good night!
