In this episode the contestants must bring in the craziest thing, get all of a banana into the bottle, put a bag of salt onto a table, get a sheet of toilet roll as far away as possible, and identify the contents of a bowl.
Title context
'Premature conker' was one of the things that Mike Wozniak guessed he had found under the table in the 'Identify the contents of the bowl' task.

Taskmaster's Sign-off
So, what have we learnt today? We've had an insight into two very different career trajectories. Cut to two years from now... Sarah Kendall steps on to a moonlit city skyline as the lead in the new Hollywood super-hero franchise, 'Salt Woman'. Back in England, a police car picks up Lee Mack. He's on the M4 with a shopping trolley full of toilet rolls, shouting, "I thought it was salt. It looked like salt!" It's bye from us for now, but let's end with some more recognition for tonight's winner, she's done it again - it's Salt Woman, Sarah Kendall!
